They call me the king of the spreadsheets. Gottem all printed out on my bed sheets.
… my dumb ass thought it meant roux. And I thought that would be uncomfortable to return. Not sure I’ve ever seen it spelled before looking it up just now.
IIRC, it wasn’t muggle shock, it’s just what wizards did up until plumbing was common. It does kind make one question why they would invest so much into fixing what they seemingly considered a solved issue though.
The fanfic Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is a fun foil to this aspect of the series. It absolutely is a bit pretentious and preachy at points, but the genuine exploration of what is possible in the established system was pretty fun imo.
IIRC Cap’s shield is actually proto-adamantium. They were never able to recreate the formula, and base adamantium is the closest they could get.
Someone else has broken down a lot of examples, but in the broader sense, around half of states, a little more than half IIRC, have an age of consent of 16. The reason 18 is so well known is that’s the age of consent where so much of our media is made, California.
3·3 months agoToo be fair, TGA doesn’t seem to have historically given a lot of weight to the last spot. And they probably should, because of the public perception of the last spot being inherently prestigious. But it doesn’t seem like they were trying to say it’s some sort of capstone or anything. By all accounts he just thought it looked neat and threw it in the last open spot.
From some interviews, it sounds like it was just an ambitious mess that didn’t have good testers. IIRC, they said something about everyone pitching 5 ideas every day, and added a couple each time. And it really shows, it is some kind of franken-monster that combines all kinds of ideas that make a patchwork of meh. And then the testers they had either all worked on the game, or were friends with those that did, and nobody wanted to be a downer so they always gave positive feedback.
0·1 year agoI misread that as naval play, and then followup with titanic. Was wondering what that weird shit was.
Well, they were one of the best of the turds. I was kind of hoping they’d stick around and be a mitigating force on the AI market that at least taps the brakes on all the bullshit. Seems unlikely now.
