Less the naked part and more the neighbors don’t need to see my growing collection of scar tissue. :( Shit, I don’t need to see that!

Then the fix should be simple… you set up a privacy screen.

Not a sauna guy, I’m a hot tub guy, but I’d think clothing in the sauna would trap heat and sweat and be less healthy?

Man, I don’t even know…

Google says… 4/20.

Asking religion to make sense is like asking a fish to describe outer space.

Apparently started from a hate ministry in 2021… Dude named James White on Twitter.

"When you start with man as image-bearing creature of God, you can understand why sympathy is good, but empathy is sinful.

Do not surrender our mind to the sinful emotional responses of others."

As a rule, we don’t handle the unexpected well. When my grandfather died from lung cancer, it was a long, protracted ordeal involving hospice care. Everyone was prepared, nobody was surprised.

When my dad died from a massive heart attack in the middle of nowhere in Nevada, a month after retiring, it was a shock, nobody saw it coming. He didn’t make it long enough for the life flight helicopter to get there. Reportedly his last words were “Oh no.”

It’s one thing to plan for a death, it’s another to be slapped in the head with one.

There was a bullshit explanation, that as time went on proved to be a lie, yeah.

Not in Europe, so I can’t help you there.

But I’d like to add, it’s not JUST about disabling games.

Bungie released Destiny 2 in 2017, in 2020 they started “vaulting” content, locking it away from people who had paid for it.

This included ALL of the story missions, essentially rendering the game plot-less.

Half of the original planet locations in the base $60 game, and the entirety of the first two paid expansions.

It’s literally impossible to play the game as launched even though, technically, it was never disabled and is still online.

The content has never been restored and cannot be accessed, even for a court case, Bungie had to rely on YouTube recordings of the removed content:

One of my favorite bits teaching Hex Ed was writing it on the board and saying it out loud:

0 - Zero
1 - One
2 - Two
3 - Three
4 - Four
5 - Five
6 - Six
7 - Seven
8 - Eight
9 - Nine
A - Ten
B - Eleven
C - Twelve
D - Thirteen
E - Fourteen
F - Fifteen

It is so hard writing the letter and saying the number.

I find it the other way around. I can’t play Vampire Survivors because of Robotron/Smash TV/Geometry Wars.

I can’t throw stones when I have a stack of 27 sitting next to me.

But I’d also add “Heard this is really good, too bad the author went crazy.”

Plus $95 for a “physical edition” with no disc. :(

I was willing to buy the game… for $60. But not a digital code. I get that they want to push people to Gamepass, but $60 is 3 months and at the end I actually own nothing?

The writing was kind of on the wall for Avowed when they announced they were dumping it after the holidays.

I was like “Oh, like Forspoken? Good luck!”

The mechanics were all in the cart, it pushed the figure forward rather than having it pull the cart.

Still, a neat bit of kit!

Kind of, he summoned a firestorm to incinerate all the bodies in the tunnels.

Funnily enough, this was addressed directly in the comic with the Morlocks. The mutants unable to pass and were living in the sewers under New York.

X-Men #169 to their ultimate elimination in the Mutant Massacre in #210-214, X-Factor #9-11, and New Mutants #46. Also touched on Thor, Power Pack and Daredevil.

I’d love a variation where a time traveller goes back to see Jesus and can’t find them. So they start asking around… “Jesus of Nazareth? No? Sermon on the mount? ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God’? Ring any bells? Come on! Raised Lazarus from the dead? Loaves and fishes?”

And in so doing, generates the Jesus myth…

Yup!

See my “set 2” links above. (at the time) $3,200 8K television, “If you want the brightest image possible, use the default Dynamic Mode settings with Local Dimming set to ‘High’, as we were able to get 1666 nits in the 10% peak window test.”

HDR still trash.
