Aqarius,

The chemical was discovered in the 19th century. Tylenol is a US thing, the common name in Europe is Panadol.

Aqarius,

Yes, so is Tylenol. I was saying the J&J didn’t discover paracetamol, they were just the first to market it in the US (or, more likely, bought the company that did).

Same with Europe, Panadol, and GSK.

Aqarius,

You know how every once in a while there’s an article going “man, check out all this illegal fucked up shit the CIA was doing 20 years ago, sure is great they stopped and don’t do anything illegal and fucked up anymore”, and the date they stopped doing the illegal shit is always “20 years ago”, regardless of when the article is published?

Well, that.

Aqarius,

For context that the Daily Beast clearly doesn’t care to give: the “an army building” is the army headquarters, on prime realestate, hit in the bombing and intentionally left in disrepair. It’s a memorial already. The lot is being leased, basically as a gift, to Kushner, to build a luxury hotel. The repeated, blatant corruption has drawn criticism of the government and Kushner from the Serbian people.

The “Memorial to the victims statement” is meant to paper over this.

Aqarius,

Ah, you mean the Bellamy salute!

Aqarius,

Posers, man. They steal your thing and ruin it for everyone.

Aqarius,

Yes they do: quite a number of countries banned Russians from non-essential travel. That’s why there’s so many of them in Georgia and Serbia: draft-dodging isn’t essential travel, apparently.

Aqarius,

Funny thing, I made the same question in reverse once, and the crowd on here descended on me for “whataboutism”.

Aqarius,

The first actually witty joke about this I’ve seen all day, great work!

Aqarius,

Never go against a Shekelesh when life is on the line.

Aqarius,

Appropriately for the thread, the WP scene had a choice: walk away. It kept telling Walker to walk away. The player could have shut the game off.

That’s the pivot point: if you’re just playing a game about Walker, then having a choice doesn’t matter, you’re just being told a story about a lunatic. But, if Walker is a stand-in for you, and you’re playing the game “because you wanted to be something you’re not - a hero”, then not only is playing on a choice, choosing to play war porn in the first place is a choice.

Aqarius,

You’re doing the thing in the post.

‘We will fight with our fingernails’ says Netanyahu after US threat to curb arms (www.theguardian.com)

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah....

Aqarius,

I kinda wanna see Israel start weapons development with China. Just to see people lose their shit.

Aqarius,

The weird thing is, “red”, and in particular red crosses, is used as health less and less, at the request of the actual Red Cross, who are trying to keep their identity separate from the “shoot the medic” meta.

Aqarius,

Well, Melian was also Maia, and was Luthien’s mother, so they at least can have genders.

Aqarius,

Well, she married the elf-king, and had a daughter with him. Don’t know what would be more direct.

Iran launches drone attack against Israel as Biden rushes to White House (www.theguardian.com)

Iran said it launched dozens of drones and ballistic missiles towards Israel on Saturday in a major attack following days of acute tension building up in the region and warnings from the US and elsewhere about a wider conflict erupting....

Aqarius,

Good/Bad isn’t the point. The point is if you do something that shouldn’t even be on the table and get away with it, it’s now on the table for everyone.

Aqarius,

Not even “of all places”. Cracked had some great articles before everyone bailed.

Aqarius,

It’s actually Mali, as in, the country.

Aqarius,

Oh, Heinlein was definitely not writing satire.

Aqarius,

This isn’t a new idea, it’s been around sinde Reagan, and the consensus is that it’s just non-viable.

Aqarius,

It’s not very much like Arcanum, though. Arcanum and Planescape are moer or less straight RPGs, Disco Elysium is practically a variant of a point and click adventure.

Aqarius,

“Ersatz” in English is basically adopted to mean “make-do replacement”. A swamp cooler is an erzats air conditioner, for example.

Aqarius,

Placeholder, more like. “Setzen” means, literally “to place”. “ersetzen” is “to place instead of”, and “ersatz” is “the thing that is used instead of”.

Aqarius,

Nah, formulas like that are basically the assembly code for logic.

Aqarius,

I agree. DOS2 was, mechanically, a superior game. Porting 5e into videogame format isn’t as clean.

Aqarius,

Frankly I was really excited for the Divinity project they dropped for BG3, precisely because I like the “high middle age/early modern” feel of, eg. Pillars of Eternity that FR kinda lacks.

Aqarius,

When I was a kid, commercial breaks were always labeled as “economic propaganda programing”

Aqarius,

Yugoslavia

Aqarius,

IDK, if I found myself being pickpocketed by four grim individuals, armed to the teeth and covered in blood, I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same.

Aqarius,

Man, they used to be great when Gillen and Smith were still on board.

Aqarius,

Very true.

Aqarius,

wizards of the coast

Of the “sent the literal Pinkertons after a streamer” fame.

Aqarius,

You know, that might just make it worse. As in, this wasn’t some 5d plot, he genuinely thought this would work.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Features a Recreated Map of the Original Game in One-to-One Real Scale (wccftech.com)

Speaking with Press Start, Director Naoki Hamaguchi talked about the world map, revealing that the team took the map of the original game and recreated it all in a one-to-one scale, meaning that all towns, dungeons, and other points of interest are now included in the same space as one seamless map. Elaborating further on how...

Aqarius,

Elaborating further on how players will get to explore such a vast world, Hamaguchi said that while the whole of the map will be available right from the start, the size of the world will actually grow as players make progress and learn new abilities that let them access previously unreachable areas.

So, how is that different from the original?
