They are in the pale ale family (not to be confused with India Pale Ale) and tend to be more heavily carbonated, and stronger fruit notes. The ones I like tend to have notes of lemon, and err on the tart side of saison.

This is mostly true in TV shows/movie series because they need to keep upping the stakes, but when there's a group behind the group behind the group behind the government where at some point it's like half the world have to be employed to keep this conspiracy going.

| pinky0926 07/03/20 11:31:34 AM #1 | This one maybe bothers me the most. The hero will fight his way through countless hordes of canon fodder, never stopping to think about how they died just to give the audience some exposition on how badass our protagonist is. And then, the hero encounters the big bad villain, and...lets them live? Big bad gets free, does a bunch more heinous shit, over and over. That amazing lack of restraint rears its head any time the person in the way doesn't matter to the plot. Batman is good for this. He doesn't mind brutally maiming all of Gotham City's low level thugs but he'll get all soft when it's the joker who's face he's about to bash in. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV |

| pinky0926 07/03/20 6:59:14 AM #97 | DeadBankerDream posted... People who say "we should be allowed to ask questions" are always dishonest actors who have an agenda against what is accepted. Nobody says "we must be allowed to ask questions about evolution" unless they're a creationist who want their religion taught in school science classes, because if you don't have an agenda, it's pretty obvious to you that you are allowed to ask questions about evolution, or in this case corona. Usually what is interpreted as not being allowed to ask questions is when being called out on being a conspiracy theorist with an agenda. Indeed. "We should be allowed to ask questions" is sady code for "I didn't ask questions, do any actual real research and I can provide no better ideas that you haven't already thought of and investigated, but I don't like what you're saying". Fuckers on twitter and the internet in general think being a skeptic is just dismissing established positions and providing nothing else. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV |

| pinky0926 07/03/20 5:09:58 AM #1 | So I made a bit of a boo boo. We were remoted onto a client's computer. The client was away in a meeting and we were working on it. Co-worker was doing some SQL stuff. I didn't have any input at that stage so I just left the session open in case I was needed. I start chatting with someone on whatsapp web. I was giving my friend a jokey hard time, and wrote out "Christ, you're a miserable c***", and then decided to save that choice insult for later, so I ctrl+X'd it. See where I'm going with this? The remote software we use apparently shares everyone's clipboards when you have a session open together. So the next bit of SQL my coworker tried to paste in - she copied my insult right onto the client's computer. Fortunately, the client was nowhere near. So how to handle that? 1) delete it immediately, let me know what I did, call me a silly bastard and move on 2) leave it on screen, call general manager and escalate it immediately She chose 2.

| pinky0926 07/02/20 2:02:42 PM #15 | I should be a bit more specific. I don't mean puzzle games where you just build things to progress, like polybridge or sim city. I mean combat/action/rpg games where you kill things and defend yourself using contraptions and upgrade your gear using machines etc. you make. Games where you base build. In a lot of games there's an engineer class where you can do more of these things, but I don't know of any where that is the focus? Subnautica was hot shit and I loved that, although I guess it's not technically a fighting game. Still, that's right on track. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV |

Engineer: Well yes, maybe, however we'd need to figure out a consistent way to drag and drop, and some rules around clicking. Naturally we'd drop the left and right mouse buttons altogether. CEO: No keep those, those are great. More features are great. But instead of the buttons, just make the entire track pad one big button that you press in when you need to click. And make sure that any taps are registered as clicks too. Engineer: Well I mean, you're just gonna have people accidentally clicking things, losing control of what they've dragged, and unable to distinguish between left and right clicks altogether CEO: Just do that Apple thing. Two fingers together means right mouse clicks! And a hard press and hold means you want to drag something. Engineer: Ok, so we don't need the entire trackpad to be one impossible button then?

| pinky0926 07/02/20 5:41:08 AM #1 | It felt incredibly short, which made me wonder if it was any shorter than the original games, and turns out it's probably actually 30% longer. The reason it felt short is obvious - it lets you continue from the last stage. The original games had you playing them for what felt like the best part of a year trying to get to the end because any time you died you'd go back to Stage 1. I can only assume they were this way due to hardware limitations or to kind of cheat you into thinking you had tonnes of replayability. I really don't miss that aspect of gaming. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV |
