Gacha has gotten out of hand. I played one for a year or two a long time ago and don’t regret it, but it was far more generous than anything today. It used to be a fun genre to download a game and play for a day or two with all the free stuff, but even that hasn’t been true for a while with all the dark patterns they use in these games now.

Warhammer games tend to be pretty solid, I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve bought so far. If anything that episode undersold the power of space marines.

That may have been the best episode of the series, the disappointment on finding out it was concord was immense.

I like conspiracy theory that it’s to stay in the news cycle while Clark is hurt.

Had to be me, someone else might’ve gotten it wrong.

I wish there was one that didn’t require nearly every phone permission all the time.

Lots of golf courses also use or are part of the waste water system in the area.

If you need a baby to stop crying you need a slice of cheese.

Pretty sure it’s based on research, but it’s possible it’s been discredited.

There will be terrorist drone attacks in the US or Europe, but I highly doubt they will be at a 9/11 scale. The destructive power of a drone is nowhere near the power of a fueled jet, you can get close with a swarm, but that adds several new problems.

• getting high yield explosives is pretty hard. 9/11 stole the bombs on the day, which is much harder to respond to. You could try using drones to take out aircraft on takeoff, but that’s already controlled and monitored airspace.
• getting enough drones to be a large attack isn’t trivial even with readily available parts in small numbers. There’s already systems in place to monitor large orders of potentially dangerous materials like fertilizer or smoke detectors.
• coordinating hundreds of thousands of drones is actually pretty hard to do in a clandestine way. Sanctioned drone shows have problems occasionally while not having to hide and having to avoid countermeasures.
• Drone countermeasures already exist and are deployed for large events like the Superbowl. Target selection to be big enough but still insecure is also difficult. Security is more of a priority for iconic places and not all of it is theater.

The problem with subscription services is that it’s fairly easy to argue it’s interstate commerce that states don’t have jurisdiction over.

Even the people who don’t kidnap children to survive aren’t exactly concerned with safety in this galaxy.

It’s not any different than getting on the apple app store, they even take 30% too.

Arrested development and it’s always sunny.

I really don’t care for cringe humor where everyone is an idiot.

The first season of breaking bad is pretty slow, and the show runners really like the pattern of a slow start with an intense finish to each season. It gets better, but if you don’t like a slow burn it’s not worth the effort.

In your defense the mandalorian only has about 1 season worth watching, and most of that is pretty repetitive.

I made it fairly far through 4 without vats and playing in third person. It just feels so much more tedious than Skyrim without anything more to show for it.

I’ve tried 2 and 3 and just can’t really get into it. Story wise I see what people like, but everything seems a bit more clunky than it should be and it’s just more frustrating than enjoyable.

Germany was actively trying to get some level of control over middle east oil during the war. Their failure to secure reliable and plentiful oil is a big reason they lost. The campaigns in north Africa were largely about control of Egypt and the Suez canal. Part of the invasion to Soviet lands was also opening a route to the middle east.

In a world where the axis won, they would have taken a sizable portion of the middle east to secure oil for the war, so the region would look very different.
