Yeah Capaldi is my second-favourite doctor (after Tennant"). But I’ve watches fewer than half of his episodes, cause the writing had already gone downhill at that point.

I mean yeah exactly

Yeah I think you need a centralized system with decentralized ownership, so that no single party can fuck it up by themselves

Monster-World Hunting

This hunt just went interstellar

Once, I had a song in my head that I wasn’t able to remember much about. I posted on the /r/tipofmytongue community, letting them know that all I could remember was “eh, oppah”

After a few incorrect guesses, somebody realized that it was Moby’s “Natural Blues”

SOLAR FREAKING ROADWAYS

The Genophage was right, and you and paragon Shepherd can go suck some morally uptight bollocks.

Even when I’m playing paragon, I will generally go renegade options when the Genophage is involved, since I wholeheartedly believe it was the correct choice.

I remember once playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I was assaulting a medium-sized UFO, and I’d reached the front door.

Hesitant to just run in through the front door, I sent half of my party round, so they could break the wall on the other side and flank the enemies inside.

It took a few turns to maneuver my forces round the side of the UFO, and as I did so, an alien squadron spotted my three guys on the door, and they started blasting. With my flanking team still well out of range, I had to sprint them forward to help - right into even more aliens.

My men got decimated. Six turned into four, then three, until only two men remained against well over a dozen dangerous aliens. And so remain they did. Thomas Bassoon and Eduardo Garcia were immortalized as legends that day, as they fought off multiple alien squads with just the two of them.

When XCOM 2 rolled around, with a notable time skip, these were the two soldiers I grandfathered in. Two veterans, here to fight the aliens once more.

Side note: In the tutorial for XCOM: Enemy Unknown, your squad of four is scripted to only have one survivor. Eduardo Garcia was that survivor.

Notably, 22 minutes from when you see the nomai statue. So the commenter could have spend over an hour in the tutorial area, and then quit before experiencing much of the actual game

There’s been a lot of discussion recently about how companies have been making shitty decisions, which prompt people to move to the open-source alternatives, like what happened with Reddit, Twitter and Unity etc. However, is there a viable alternative for film-related media, beyond simply piracy?

While Lemmy, Godot etc obviously have many costs, primarily servers and development, they don’t have to deal with licensing in the same way to get content. Is there an existing alternative, or do you see a way for there to ever be an existing alternative without some rich company already backing it?

I’ve had jobs where I didn’t try before, and I just got super bored. My above comment isn’t even necessarily regarding jobs, it’s regarding putting in effort in life. It applies to personal projects etc too. I have an issue with procrastination because of my childhood, and I find it really satisfying when I can actually focus and get a project done.

If you get enjoyment out of doing fuck all, then more power to you, but myself and many others actually enjoy doing things.

Holy shit guys, I get the anti work rhetoric, but you’re essentially saying “don’t work hard for anything, just live by coasting”. I really hope this pendulum stops swinging and finds a happy medium

Feeling like this image? Very regular. Sleeping for twelve hours? Hell no, eight hours is a fantastic night

Let’s be realistic though, modern Rockstar still made RDR2, which was full of heart. Not saying for sure that GTA6 won’t be a cash grab, but modern Rockstar still very much has it in them to make a great game

I went to bed at 7pm last night and got 12 hours sleep and somehow I still feel like this image

I consider Breaking Bad to be one of the most consistent shows. If you don’t enjoy the first few episodes, you’re unlikely to enjoy the rest of the show. I’m not sure what your friends were on about.

Yeah, on rewatch I generally start at season 2. Same with The Office (US). Both shows are phenomenal, but they take a while to find their footing.

However, I’d certainly argue that even on first viewing, the first seasons can be skipped. You might miss a bit of backstory, but you’d be able to understand most things perfectly fine.

Fun fact, you can immediately go to that temp folder by typing in “%temp%” into the search bar.

I’m a RIF refugee, and Connect is definitely filling that void
