Topic | Britain to begin deporting asylum-seekers to Rwanda. |
s0nicfan 04/23/24 9:20:30 PM #7 | IIRC they cut a deal with the government of Rwanda to take refugees in exchange for payments or something like that. I think they're technically designated as a safe third country so it would otherwise be a valid place for them to request refugee status.

Topic | Was pre ordering a game ever actually useful? |
s0nicfan 04/23/24 4:52:43 PM #3 | There was a good long period of maybe a decade where GameStop was going so hard on pre-orders that they would intentionally under stock new games so that if you tried to buy it on release day they would tell everyone they were sold out and they should have pre-ordered.
Beyond artificial scarcity though, you do get the occasional nonsense like that one Arkham games where an entire side story was a pre-order bonus. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz. The Three Beats Of War, Peace And Revolution Continue On Forever." - Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz |

Curious how itll work for people with heavy accents. I could imagine that being a very terrible time. Possibly, but on the flip side multilingual chat bots are pretty close to being a solved problem, meeting in the future you could pull up to a Wendy's and order in whatever language you want and it would be able to understand and respond. So the people with thick accents could just speak in their native tongue. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Pathfinder 1e was actually a direct response to Wizards not using the OGL for 4e and instead using the far more restrictive GSL. Sure, but 4E being 4E was also a significant driver for them putting in the effort. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Topic | Differences between DnD and Pathfinder? |
s0nicfan 04/23/24 4:09:57 PM #19 | Pathfinder was originally built by people who didn't like the more streamlined direction that d&d was going in. So if you played baldur's gate and thought that the game could use more options and added complexity, Pathfinder's the direction you'll go in. If you found the systems already too complex or annoying to internalize and manage, modern d&d has that taken care of for you.

I love overtime pay, hard to believe its not a thing for every hourly job. This rule only affects salaried work. It would have no impact on hourly jobs. The article also said that this is basically identical to an executive order Obama passed that was shot down in courts, only this one has an even higher salary cap, so odds are this is more of a performative election year thing and less something that will actually stick around once it's been challenged in courts. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Honestly, my guess is it's Wolverine from the Logan timeline (or one very similar to it), but from an earlier point in time. That's my thought as well. I feel like Jackman wouldn't come back for a movie that disrespected "Logan" as the ending to his character and I think Reynolds would want to respect that. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Honestly that sounds pretty cool. Can't think if Neeson has ever done a comedy before but I can picture him in the role. That's part of what makes this so perfect. Leslie Nielsen was a serious dramatic actor before naked gun and that movie basically launched his comedy career. It was meant to be intentionally ironic casting him in that role and is why he worked so perfectly as the straight man. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

What did they make? I only know of Bethesda(Maryland), Bethesda Montreal, and the two in Texas. I don't ever even recall a Bethesda France. Not that I'm sure up on these things. It was most likely just a satellite office, either to help with translations and EU regulation compliance for distribution, or because France offers tax incentives to game companies to open up offices there like the UK does. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Maybe DToast thought he was being handed some children's forum when he took the job, but instead what he got was a bunch of grown ass adults who won't hesitate to say "that was fucking stupid" when a dumb decision is made and see right through meaningless corporate doublespeak and shallow excuses. All he needs to do is be an honest broker of information and folks would be perfectly pleasant, but he seems insistent on treating users like babies and users, in turn, continue to call out all his bullshit.

EDIT: Gongaga hate has to be because navigation is nonsensical. In every other zone outside of maybe Cosmo Canyon it's easy to navigate from point A to point B by looking at the map and charting a course. Gongaga mushrooms seem variable in terms of how far they launch you and where you land, making it difficult to reliably use the map to tell how to get to any particular point. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
