Tar_Alcaran

I hate when people assume I’m the office assistant or new hire when I’m the Assistant Director.

I started my own company, with my name on it. I want to punch old white man who asks if “Mr Alcaran” is in, or if the owner is my father or husband.

I once did an interview with someone who asked me if this was my internship. He didn’t get the job.

The arsenic book covers, on the other hand, are very much still risky. Mostly because it does in fact rub off

Some of the wiring seems original

Let me throw you a little binary choice set:

A1: HR are great, and I trust them.

A2: HR are great, and I don’t trust them.

B1: HR sucks, and I trust them.

B2: HR sucks, and I don’t trust them.

Obviously option A1 and A2 have the same outcome, while B1 has significantly worse outcomes than B2. What’s worse is that, by your own post, HR can go from A to B in an instant, because they’re following orders.

Obviously it’s in my own best interest that I district all HR.

Whatever the fuck we wanted? What a weird question…

It’s completely normal behaviour, it just turns out that normal people are fucking morons.

Isn’t mango super wet on pizza?

They call it a Pizza New Zealand at my local pizza place, and it’s pretty good!

everything else they did ranged from good to great (although not watched acolyte).

Solo? Resistance? Visions? Obi-Wan? Book fo Boba Fett?

I don’t think you can publish a third game without publishing a first one

A little late-80s perspective: when I was growing up, “gay” was an insult we’d call eachother jokingly. Nobody “was gay” because that’s a (light, funny) slur. Hell, it wasn’t till I was 28 I realized it didn’t “have a dating-girls phase” that I never grew out of, I was just bi.

The homophobia is still pretty deeply ingrained even in people who aren’t that old and are really trying. I can only imagine how bad it is for those who aren’t and don’t.

Buying armor is like buying a suit, and all the answers are kind of similar.

You can get a cheap mass produced one, but it won’t fit as well as a tailored one, and that won’t be as good as a custom made one. You can wear someone else’s (within reason), as long as they’re mostly the same size, but it won’t be great.

A gambeson or arming coat (typo before) is similar, off the rack is fine, but it’ll fit much better if you have it custom made. And like bras, being a woman is expensive here. I bought a good one and modified it myself.

I got my armor custom made by a guy in Ukraine like 15 years ago, the whole thing was 6000 euros which was a huge bargain. But if you just want a breastplate for occasional use (larp, cosplay, etc) getting one online and accepting it’s kinda awkward is very much an option. If you need it to actually stop swords (reenactment, HEMA) that’s still an option, but you’ll need to be much more selective.

And Thatcher is only a tiny step more popular than Nazi’s.

If no boob shape, then boobs squished.

Hi, lady here who owns and wears armor sometimes. There are a few things wrong with this.

(Prefacing that only a very very small number of women historically wore armor)

You’ll find that basically ALL medieval plate bulges out in the chest. That is specifically because dome shapes are stronger, but also for ease of movement. A flat plate will make it harder to bring your shoulder back (or you’ll need to make a bigger arm hole).

You’ll also find that most people who do stuff while in plate armor tend not to carry a lot of fat, and since boobs are mostly fat, women who wear armor “for a living”, and are thus swinging pole arms quite a lot, tend not to be very busty.

Thirdly, the main difference between my armor and the armor the guys are wearing is not in the plate, but in the padding underneath. I have a gambeson and armor coat that is thicker above and above my breasts than right in front. There’s basically a boob-slot in the padding, so that a hit to my chest gets absorbed by my body instead of my boobs.

The beatles hit number 1 for 90% of their studio albums.

And their worst album (yellow submarine) was 3rd.

But it’s so much funnier to picture elves as spending 40 years in diapers.

Pandora: First Contact, supposed spiritual successor to Sid Meier Alpha Centuari

Seconded. I repressed all memories of this game until now.

the main story was maybe a total of 4 hours

You must have been amazing at it, because it was certainly more like 20 for me, not counting branching missions. (The internet says it’s around 25ish)

it was just buggy as fuck with the AI pathfinding being incredibly bad and somehow worse than the predecessors

I think you’re wearing some rose tinted goggles about Red Alert (and some solid black ones for the first game). Pathfinding in Tiberium Dawn was so terrible that it was part of the balance of the game: when they tried to fix it for the remaster, they found it horribly unbalanced the game in favor of GDI, so they decided not to fix it. Pathfinding was pretty shit in Tiberian Sun, but it was much worse before.

or the main other RTSs of the time.

Yeah, StarCraft was better but Total annihilation was much worse than Tiberian Sun in places where there was any terrain.

TA is much better now, but it has 25 years of mods going for it.

I’m going to say Battletoads. The game was mostly pretty fun, until you got the jetski section where it was biologically impossible for a human to react in time. The only way to get past this level was to perfectly memorize the sequence of buttons to push.

I can say it wasn’t any easier in the Megadrive/Genesis.
