I disagree on that one. If you listen to Adrenaline and then skip forward to Private music there’s barely any resemblance left.

I will agree though that their overall vibe has remained consistent, but I think that speaks to their vision of the band instead of a lack of creativity.

Thanks for sharing that mindfuck. I honestly would’ve thought something was wrong with my cognition if you hadn’t mentioned it was a test beforehand.

Glad to hear you managed to get away from that situation, and thank you for sharing. I appreciate learning about things like this, and to see that empowerment enabled you to take active control of your life.

Please feel free to ignore this if you’re not comfortable talking about this with strangers on the internet, but I’ve always wondered what keeps people persisting in a relationship like that. It’s easy for me to say, but I’d imagine having sex would definitely stop being appealing if it’s a one-sided affair. Not sure if I’d have the fortitude to put up with that to such an extent it’d result in three kids.

Please enlighten me if you can, I’m honestly hoping to learn what mindset or circumstances got you to this point.

What a way to tell on yourself there dude.

That is the most important bit here. Valve, effectively, launched a new gaming console that just so happens to be compatible with more games than any console out there. If they can use the install base of this platform to force developers to build compatibility like what they’ve done for the steam deck, this is going to be huge.

Oooh, now there’s a fun idea for a sequel/spin off.

There are also several YT videos with trauma surgeons and ER nurses rating the injuries sustained by Marv and Harry. Even the innocuous ones would leave them permanently scarred, most would cripple them for life, and a good couple of them would be instantly lethal.

Yeah. That song even has the benefit of being in English, so you don’t need to find a translation as an English non-German speaker.

What on earth are you talking about? It’s on the 370Z chassis, one of the most loved enthusiast platforms out there.

Anyone wrapping it around a tree has a case of driver error to blame. Having owned every generation of Z since the 300ZX, I found it to handle excellently.

Haven’t played any of the custom campaigns, but the game is very fun in terms of it’s mechanics (I’d argue it’s superior to even BG3 in that specific regard).

I didn’t create a new party for the expansion, but that’s largely because I set up the team to have abilities that all feed off each other for some truly disgusting amounts of damage.

Let the community know which ones of the custom campaigns you liked best. I’d love a reason to jump back into the game :-)

Rammstein got so sick and tired of being called Nazis just because they make harsh music with German lyrics that they put out “Links 2 3 4” two decades ago to clear up that they lean socialist. And Till Lindemann himself has said repeatedly that they hate Nazis. And yet, people still associate them with it because they can’t think beyond “Scary German music = Nazi”.

I agree with the sentiment, but in going to “uhm acksually” you on the size of the nuclear stockpile. Russia still holds more nukes officially: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_weapons

I think you’re on to something here honestly. Windows Phone was Microsoft’s last big new bet in the consumer market (you could argue Game Pass here, but the scope is more niche than a general compute platform), and I am sure that if it succeeded there would’ve been a significant cultural shift at Microsoft, similar to how the success (and subsequent revenue stream dominance) of iPhone/iOS did at Apple.

Sadly, we don’t live in that reality, so now everything Microsoft makes (again, with exception of the aforementioned and dreadfully mismanaged Xbox/Game Pass efforts) for consumers needs to have some kind of enterprise revenue angle to get greenlit at all. From experience I can tell you that a large number of great product ideas wither on the vine at Microsoft simply because management doesn’t consider anything that won’t move the needle on enterprise revenue.

Best are probably the switches by Inovelli. That said, if you’re okay installing the resistor needed to make them work, the Moesgo switches I’m using are quite decent at half the price, you just got to like or get over the styling.

Can you link the series? Really curious to read the rest.

I love these kings of threads because there’s always some unknown to me gem in there. I had never heard of this game, but your comment and the glowing reviews have me sold and excited to go check it out. Thank you, kind internet stranger.

I mean, you’re not wrong but the way she got into office initially wasn’t exactly a shining beacon of democratic process…

Although, in fairness, the province did reelect her after so perhaps they did want an even crazier flavour of nuts after all.

I mean the xenophobia alone allows one to draw parallels, but here’s an example of the party harbouring the same wildly unscientific COVID vaccine stances and unscientific claims in their ranks: https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/5Ey2eW/obehorig-sd-politiker-i-riksdagens-kammare

And thanks for reminding me of the existence of AfS, it truly takes something extraordinary to be too extreme for SD to the point of getting kicked out and starting your own splinter fraction.

And what makes you think that? SD (the Swedish equivalent of MAGA and the descendants of the Nazi party) pulled in over 20% of the vote last time and the right-wing parties making up the coalition have all shown to be more than willing to cater to SD’s base (edit: Although, to be fair, that’s also because they have a confidence and supply agreement with the SD).
