Imagine missing a game so massive it has had a billion sequels, an MMO, and a 700 million dollar television series made because of it.

Pick your poison, witchcraft, zen, Christianity… Being able to see things the way a child sees them is an essential part and something you might want to work on.

I’m going to take a guess and direct you (and most readers) towards a Christian reading, but I assure you, this observation is made by almost all traditions, secular or otherwise, across almost all the world’s cultures.

Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 18:3

Here’s a puzzler.

Did he start with illegals as the first stage in a general campaign to eliminate the poor and undersirable by force, or, now that he has moved to all immigrants, is he going to stop?

Allow me to translate this for everyone looking at this comment and trying to figure out what it means and can’t be bothered to google it.

You MUST IMMEDIATELY go find/stream/steal Star Trek - The Next Generation S5E02 - “Darmok” before participating in this thread.

And if you don’t understand it, watch it again until you do.

You’re welcome.

This has been the case since it was possible to pay someone to run from village to village shouting things… It’s just more now.

Welcome to the party, beers over there.

Not central, just suspicious, but… this is ‘house’ as in astrological house as in the first part of the word ‘horoscope’, not house like a house you live in.

My background in linguistics consists of a couple chompsky soft-science books and a love of tolkien, but if you actually know something and wanna chat I’d honestly love to dig in on this seriously. DM me.

My pet theory is (circa 10000 BCE) that ‘houses’ and ‘hours’ are related words, the 12 hour clock matched the zodiac, each hour/house was 1 Assyrian ‘watch’ and they had no trouble day or night (constellations at night, sundial during the day), they were easy to build, easy to communicate, easy to understand and efficient.

Then the Egyptians stole the technology (Circa 6000BCE) said ‘12 hours in a day? I got you bro’, fucked it up and it all went downhill from there.

Feel free to quote me in your prize winning scientific paper.

The fact you didn’t detect my hyperbole proves my point. Those numbers were in fact completely made up.

$1 for electricity, $2 for the tech, $5 for the machine. $.50 for the researcher, and $25000 for the owner of the facility.

A lot of people play games with guides. They were raised that way and if they can’t play it with a guide or walkthrough, they don’t play it.

This is a stupid way to live your life and a stupid way to enjoy a game, but I get it.

So glad they fixed the slow/boring difficulty curve the first game had. I shouldn’t need to slog through 20 hours of gameplay before I feel challenged.

Binged it all weekend, it’s a great game, but folks whining about some of the game’s earlier challenges are unlikely to finish it.

How about a game developed by two people on their own winning an award which was won last year by a game with a budget somewhere north 100 million dollars?

Is that a good excuse?

You know the Hugo is usually given to authors of books?

This doesn’t appear to be true. The website still shows the full constitution. It’s more likely someone has meddled with the archive.

A lot of power fantasy RPG players would have really benefitted from this, they’ll have to stick with postal instead.

Technically?
