Pokémon Puzzle League! Building up all the chains felt amazing! It’s a feeling I’ve tried to recreate it other similar games but haven’t found one with such a great implementation.

I think more research should be done as it may interact with the interstitium which is a relatively new discovery and may provide a scientific explanation.

It looked like they just cut their effects budget by a lot. The green screen work was terrible and super apparent. The motorcycles would be obviously riding in a studio instead of on sand (just look at them not affected by any bumps).

A bunch of the CGI was just super obvious and in some places poorly done.

And then the plot had the random love interest and most of the dialogue was bad.

And worst of all

Then at the end when they show scenes from the last movie, it was just so obvious how bad the effects were in comparison!

In theaters: Furiosa. Very meh and disappointing compared to Fury Road (which is IMO the best action movie ever).

My partner totally asks me questions she hears from TikTok trends. Man vs bear, etc.

Just a lot of the koala habitats got destroyed by wildfires and they’re more endangered than ever now. So I’m surprised if they’re commonly seen.

Are these common nowadays? Thought their environments got burned down.

We just chatted initially but eventually we setup a virtual Friday movie night. At some point we had to meet but that was a few months later.

The week evening shut down:

Finished a vacation and was about to start a new job and then told not to come in for a while. They eventually mailed me a laptop but got like two weeks being paid to do nothing.

Matched with some lady on a dating app and were planning to meet but had to switch to a virtual date. We’re married now.

Thief + Barbadian, Thief + Bard, Thief + Open Hand Monk. The extra bonus action is basically an extra attack or movement.

Warlock + Sorcerer for that sweet quickened Eldritch Blast with 2x Charisma. Minimum 90 dmg before on-hit effects.

Yeah it would be nice if we could simplify instead of add a bunch of special cases.

However it’s easier said than done. In your example for carbon tax, how do you determine the cost of removing carbon? Does creating a new solar/wind power plant count? Does increasing efficiency in an existing home count? What’s the difference between that and just paying for carbon capture? This is what the carbon offset economy was supposed to be about but it’s ultimately difficult to implement correctly and inherently full of complexities. I’m not saying we shouldn’t try, but it’s really hard to simplify some things.

I think there’s evidence to show that even though punishments may be heavy, if the chance of getting caught is low people will still do it. So that means you’d need to increase surveillance and enforcement which comes with it’s own issues.

I’d like to think most democracies would enact some socialist policies if there was less money involved in politics… but I’m not sure what the best way to prevent that is.

You can craft laws but the legal system is also profit driven. And you’d need some way to either prevent corruption or get the motivations to line up correctly. But I can’t think of any practical solutions that also align with freedoms.

Capitalism isn’t a form of government the way democratic socialism is? But to your point, even Adam Smith realized the problems with a legal and governmental system that is controlled by corporations to be a terrible idea. He was well aware that profit motives without limit leads to mistreatment of individuals.

If there’s no air, wouldn’t it ruin a bunch of stuff you put in? Any liquids would evaporate, wood could deteriorate, etc. Is it also cold? That also causes changes to a bunch of stuff.

My old iPhone took a swim but it mostly came back. The face sensor and NFC stopped working immediately but after a few months the NFC started working again. Eventually however parts of the touchscreen started failing in vertical strips. At first it was still usable but at some point too much of the screen became unresponsive I had a get a Bluetooth remote to use the phone.

I was stubborn about getting a new phone as I knew the iPhone 15 would get USB C and wanted to wait hot that.

I guess you’ve got to equip your crossbow and put on a snazzy suit (armored of course).

Try to use the environment. Eg for the church, there is an oil barrel that can cause a lot of damage. For gnolls try to use the high ground and you can turn the boss on the others. Sometimes it’s best just to attack first, Asterion can usually kill an enemy in the first round.

You can just replace the battery easily on those right?

It doesn’t take anything for the weapon to return though there is a bug where it won’t return when throwing to start a battle. So at L5 I’m getting 4 throws with Action Surge. That being said, I’ve got Karlach using the returning pike because throwing is good enough to have on two characters.

Eldritch Knight bound weapons seem better for throwing. Can combine with berserker and thief for extra throws.
