He’s not a complete idiot, but he has very little knowledge, which in many situations is almost the same thing. However, I wouldn’t underestimate his daddy issues. Even a highly intelligent person (which he definitely is not) can fall to inner biases, and I wouldn’t put it past dictators to fit neatly into the hole in his heart from never receiving papa’s love.
What’s the goddamn dog barking at? I thought you were gonna tell the kid to get rid of that fucking mutt.
While the revisions to the family registry act do not ban kanji – Chinese-based characters in written Japanese – parents are required to inform local authorities of their phonetic reading
Well this is fucking crazy to me. Almost every single form you ever have to write your name on in Japan also has a section that you have to write the phonetic reading of it as well. The fact that it doesn’t exist on the family register is absolutely bonkers. I know Japan hates updating things, but even back in the day there were multiple readings for the same kanji characters, and the government being ok with ambiguity on official documents is blowing my mind.
Even before the shiny names the article is talking about the names could be wildly different. We’re not talking about not knowing if Ashleigh is pronounced Ash-lee or Ash-lay, it’s like 里香 being commonly read as either Rika or Satoko.
all because a group of cultists wanted to defend an aging orange idiot
That’ll be the catalyst, but it’s rooted decades of wealth inequality and oppression. Bloviating "strong"men can’t gain power in societies where most people are thriving.
So you thought suggesting another addictive RPG was the correct response here??
Seriously though, seems fun–I tried to go through one dungeon and died very quickly. Looks like it has a lot of depth though, so I’ll probably wait until I have a break to give it a real go. Looks a bit more accessible than Caves of Qud, so I might actually have a chance of getting somewhere.
Plus getting a third of the way into the game and if you didn’t take the junk mail at the beginning you have to restart.
The troll you can kill with the sword that glows in its presence, if I’m remembering my Zork correctly. I think it regenerates though, so maybe you have to cut the head off, and then it vanishes in a puff of vile smoke, or something like that.
The smirking sneak thief can be dispatched the same way, although I think you can also use the axe you get after killing the troll. I think it wasn’t a sure thing though, like you can give the “stab thief with sword” command a few times and sometimes you win and other times you die.
But the extra numeral that you’re representing with X would be base 11. It’s like how hexadecimal uses A-F for 10-15. But the range of numerals still ends at 15 instead of 16 because the 0 exists.
Doesn’t base 4 only go up to 三? Like binary is base 2 and only has 0 and 1. 四 would be base 5.
Every base is base 10.
What about base 0? Checkmate, mathists.
I did a lot of stuff in the first Zork (kill the troll, solve the maze, open the gates of hell, etc), but I never quite figured out how I was supposed to win.
They had to start putting graphics in their games before I could beat them.
I can’t handle getting addicted to Nethack again at this point in time
I notice you only held up one hand…
The real question is do you go dominant or off hand?
I enjoy it even when it’s not wilderness camping-- drive up to a site with a level of facilities you’re comfortable with (toilet, sinks, etc), have a little bbq, do some stargazing, sleep with some nature sounds, drive home. I know those kinds of places aren’t near everyone but camping doesn’t have to be bushwhacking or backpacking.
There was a lot of fucking going on in the original too
I actually thought kerbal was a bit older. Maybe it was the years of early access or something
You’ll be pleased to hear that Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is a spinoff of Young Sheldon ;)
2nd is clearly labeled as the funkiest of frogs, which should qualify it as a froggo
Did you ever go through say, a hawk or kite phase before settling on owls?
