I suggest targeting critical supply chain choke points.

A whole game that's an escort mission would probably not be much fun tbh. Everyone hates missions specifically in shooter games where you have to protect someone because there's usually not good ways to block them from damage, so if she was constantly in danger of dying and you couldn't control where she went it'd be a real slog I think.

It could be fun if done well I just can't think how to do it well

I remember thinking it was fun to play, and a more interesting and dynamic experience than bioshock 1 was, and I liked the story more or less but the politics are just dogshit.

I haven't played it since it came out though and it was never that remarkable to me that I had strong opinions beyond "this is fun and the dewit backstory is interesting but it's trying to both-sides the union wars and manifest destiny??"

this is me right now regarding their various policies

nope pretty good apple i gotta say

It's done. I ate the apple.

I've already started eating it

You say please and thank you

I think that's right. I use the OS myself and I once went in to their matrix chat to ask for help on something because the way notifications worked had changed (I wanted to mute some notifs and not others and couldn't figure it out).

Immediately the main developer replied telling me I was doing it wrong, the way notifications worked in the OS was right and working as intended, and I was wrong and didn't get it. And I was like what the hell man. I came in here saying "I don't understand this, can someone please help me figure out how to use it?" And I was still accused of being a dumbass who didn't get it.

I don't find them credible either, I just find the way they go sicko mode on everyone all the time weird and feels like what you'd do to put up a smokescreen.

I don't think they're doing that necessarily, I think thestinger just has Mental Health, like a lot of us do. But seriously it's an awful way to present the project.

You know what good. Fuck my pineal gland. What's it ever done for me? My teeth I use every day, mostly for chewing.

I know which I'm gonna pick any day of the week.

I'm gonna lose it

"I'm starting to see why his mom traded him for a bottle of oxys" etc etc.

The first time, I tried to just go vegetarian all at once and it didn't take, because it felt like such a big change to make all at once. I found much better success by saying "this week, I am going to give up pork for good." Then when that felt easy I went on to "this week I will give up beef for good." And so on until I was down to chicken being the only meat I'd eat anymore. I found by tapering it like that, it didn't feel like such a radical change and it was easier for me to sustain it.

I feel that cutting out dairy is going to be much harder for me than cutting out meat has historically been. One day I might be able to go vegan but I need to work my way there or I won't be able to stick to it.

I do!

Isn't poison ivy one of those things where it doesn't do anything the first time or two and then you become allergic? Or is that poison oak?

and water too

hell yeah i love hikes.

i got a fuckin uh.... regular sauce pan

The thing with creating clones of extinct species (which is not what they did) is that those species went extinct for reasons.

If we cut down all the forests and the birds who depend on the trees die off as a result, and then create clones of those birds, they'll just die off again unless we put the forests back, which we are not doing.

If all the bugs die because the earth is now too hot for them to survive, and we create clones of them, the clones will all just die again.

This is a gimmick but ultimately it's "feeding cats to the coyotes."

That's because we shadowbanned them

The job market is shit right now, it's not just you.

i take a fairly expansive view on these matters

People now are more committed to the bit than ever before.

I have had the idea for a horror setting where there's an anesthetic that everyone thinks is really effective and a miracle drug, but it turns out all it does is paralyze you so you don't show pain, and make you completely forget when you come to. But the whole time, you're feeling everything.

Severance is a lot like that. But less body horror.
