How could they have a stand-off while simultaneously running away?

Can people not tell this is AI or are we pretending it isn’t for a goof?

They can’t help themselves. The intrusive thoughts take over.

I’m so exhausted.

I don’t care what you say; any car good enough for Columbo is good enough for me.

I too wish the free market was actually free sometimes. I want a small, cheap, efficient car like literally every other country in the world produces.

I wasn’t.

Harry? Do you mean Detective Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau?

I’m glad sites like this exist, but mostly because they’re seemingly taking the heat away from torrent trackers.

This guy doesn’t get bronze age humor.

Like a butt plug? I mean, it’s 2024. Who doesn’t have an internal with them.

Politicians are just getting more orange. I’m hoping that in 50 years (if civilization survives) American politicians are going to be doing their speeches in full on kabuki style make-up. I want to be hearing debates between two oni.

I mean, hardcore history is still great. It’s not the best HISTORY podcast but it’s probably the best history PODCAST.

This probably has more to do with timing than anything else. There’s been a lull in the big flashy game department.

6 out of 10 is the new 2. People don’t know how to rate things anymore. It makes everything difficult to gauge. The Chinese restaurant in town near me has a 4.7/5 on Google and it’s the most disgusting food I’ve ever eaten, yet it has the same score as the actually good restaurants nearby.

The scene where he gets revealed was the moment where I switched from “this is a pleasant surprise of an okay movie” to “what an absolute corporate board meeting of a turd”.

The game has been stuck in development hell for more than a decade, yes. I agree that Masquerade does not hold up, yet it still consistently makes best RPG/game lists. I think it’s just nostalgia that keeps it alive in the gaming culture. It was janky even when it came out and the story is like a YA novel; modern modding has made it more playable but it’s not worth revisiting imo… unless you’re a moody teen who doesn’t want to consume any of the more modern moody teen slop.

I’d like to find a game that’s similar to this but the game doesn’t have to be open. Like a single player game that I can play for a while but then stuff continues to happen while I am at work, like EVE’s player leveling system or other MMOs with similar mechanics. The only mechanics I’ve found like that in single player games are dumb crafting things that happen in real time.

I was looking for this in there but couldn’t find any references to what you’re saying. Please let me know where you read this so I can share in the glory of Russian Orthodox god.

He just needs to tighten his belt and set a realistic budget. Maybe something in the $15,000/mo would suit him better.
