The fantasy: i gain time stopping powers with little to no side effects on using it

The result: “Billionaire suicides skyrocket across the globe”

Hey, you can get those two extra inches with dedication and training! You just gotta start with the smaller plugs until your circumference can stretch 2 extra inches :D

Iametekudasaaaiii, turuku-kun!

Does that model-escort pipeline also applies to male models, or do they have to contend with other problems?

I work for the Brazilian govt. That should be self explanatory.

People working at evil company surprised that evil company hires horrible human beings, doubly so when criticism was silenced. I mean, what the fuck did you expect??

Yes, we all need to pay bills and etc, but if you work for an evil company, don’t act like you care about morals or ethics.

I don’t think hardware vendors will use chips or parts that lack decent working linux drivers, which would make the “too many hardware variants” point moot.

Then again, higher ups are known for taking stupid decisions.

All leaves and no b-

sees dog on the right

Ok, there’s the bark

Dumb jokes aside, it looks amazing!

It certainly helps when the person clicking through is your flunkie

O aumento é do ICMS dos estados, o que de fato vai fazer chegar nos 100%.

100 + 60% (federal) = 160
160 + 17% (icms atual) = 187,2
160 + 25% (icms novo) = 200

Pelo visto o único consumo interno que vai “ajudar” é de roupa, porque eletronicos tudo vem de fora

Implying their train of thought can go beyond “MOAR MONEH”

Also, they’d love to be slave owners, but since slavery was banned in most of the world, they have to skirt around with silly laws and whatnot, so wage-slavery works. Hell, it might even work better than actual slavery, since you can own all the stuff the wage-slave can buy and pay for!

Moonie (Moon Channel) has a lovely 2h30 video on the topic of Kawaii: Anime, Propaganda, and Soft Power Politics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM2VIKfaY0Y

It focuses mostly on the eastern part of things, but it applies to stuff we end up consuming, too. Also worth quoting one of the top comments in the video:

I think you get one thing wrong, and that is claiming Japan is the #1 at projecting soft power. I’m sorry but the US is #1 and it isn’t even a contest (coming from a non-American). The reason we don’t really get the impression that the US is this soft power behemoth is because the US has been so proficient in projecting soft power that it has been normalized and integrated everywhere.

Still different enough to count, I’d say. Besides, the real Kanto doesn’t have pokemons

Do avoid the elevators and take the stairs

Not to mention all the stupid puzzles to open doors and locks

gog allows people that don’t own the game to review it, I think it makes sense for some of the older titles, where people who had the game decades ago can chime in, and others where people might have the game on steam but not gog.

It’s good that it keeps separate ratings, but would be nicer if verified owners had more emphasis, instead of simply listing the most recent review at the top.

Have you checked Tooth and Tail? I don’t think it has base building, but is a very controller friendly RTS

Which kinda proves that Nintendo is right with how to balance Smash Bros: it’s a game to be played for fun, not for pro player tournaments (no items final destination fox only).

They are Billions is a very interesting game, but stupidly stressful. It takes ONE fucking zombie getting past your defenses to completely fuck your base

Ashes of Singularity tends to be easy on the action-per-minute requirement, since there’s no micromanaging individual units, unless it’s the larger ships, so you can probably have a good time with it.
