Why not? Mostly smell for me. Because feet being imprisoned in shoes most of the time gives them an aroma most people don’t like.

Coop Immersive Sim sounds awesome to be honest.

Greed was meant not only as greed for money but greed for power in general. Money itself is worthless, only its substitution for power is why it’s important in the first place.

I agree with your comment, but I didn’t talk about economic structures, but rather about how power is distributed in a society. That is closely connected to the economic structure, sure. But for example the Soviet Union was state socialism and started enough wars themselves. Also not because the workers wanted it, but those in power did.

The problem is and always was the power structure and the greed of those at the top of it. It had many different names and forms during history.

In a certain way I even agree with the sentiment. Of the crystals I have grown myself, the perfect ones are kinda nice, but do look fake/more like plastic. Those that are nearly perfect but have visible impurities (not to much, not to little) are far more visually pleasing to me.

The big BUT is that this in no way is a reason to support blood diamonds. If aesthetic is more worthy to you than human rights, than you are a villain, it’s that simple.

The Mechanicus trailer is maybe the greatest ever.

I also fondly remember the Skyrim reveal trailer, because the music was so epic when I saw it for the first time, in ancient times.

Certain death tomorrow is better than certain death today.

I share your pessimistic view on what this win means, but don’t get disheartened. It is still a win for privacy and citizen rights.

Oh nice. Vertigo 2 was a great step forwards from Vertigo 1. I’m interested in this new addition to the series.

Most multiplayer games gain by already knowing mechanics, maps, characters, items, etc.

Followed your advice, now my husband complains I’m not the woman he married anymore.

But you can have that in Austria as well or France or Italy. They are all in the Alps. Or even not as tall parts of the Alps in Slovenia or Germany.

Thing is: you don’t need to look at it longer than a second to understand what is meant to be conveyed. So no, goal achieved, good use of resources instead of overspending on one useless metric (=making it realistic)

Just a small correction: Horus is not the god of death, but the god of ruling, war and the sky. The role of god of death fits better to Anubis or Osiris, depending on how you interpret the role.

The source for this picture is from Vermis, a guide book for a fictional video game that doesn’t exist. It is interesting and full of atmosphere.

No they didn’t?

If I’m not getting whooshed from you playing the act:

The joke is that everything in the meme is already in the established TES canon. But capital G Gamers™ (which I hate that those assholes made that word negative), being media illiterate and being “anti woke”, often don’t see what their loved games contain, even if they complain about those things.

I never considered it, but you are perfectly right. Prometheus was the first pirate and anti copyright activist! That makes me like him even more.

Both from Germany:

I remember that in my high school time many in my year went to plasma donation as often as it was allowed to collect the compensation. So while you are right that is legally never called payment, people with a need for cash for sure sell their plasma for money.

Oh and in the public sector there is or at least was in the past also the possibility for donating blood and you get the 2 hours or so for that paid as normal. So the government donated the money for a good course.

They didn’t say that, but the other commenter still speaks about a point that also caught my eye:

It doesn’t matter if donating blood or plasma is able to be longer stored. When you need one of them, you can’t substitute with the other. So the medical area still needs both. So you still need people donating both. If a medical institution is telling me they only collect plasma, I would question their motives, because both are needed for helping people.

Maybe the donating place just gave the short explanation and they meant, that for blood donations there are other better places, but it could also mean, they don’t earn enough money with that. And THAT is I think what the other commenter meant with their admittedly short comment.

Nope from me, I only get a blank page.
