The music is amazing as well

Is stationeers actually done yet? Last time I played the best station was a single cube with as few features as possible.

Disco Elysium makes quite a big statement on law enforcement, and you play an amnesiac cop who does all sorts of weird shit (because you’re the character in a point and click game) and people tolerate it because you’re a cop. That by itself supports the message about law enforcement.

ML stands for Marxist-Leninist, but in practice it stands for kissing the ass of the dictators in China, Russia and North Korea.

I wish everyone agreed.

It’s almost as if faster vehicles need to be kept away from vulnerable travellers… Hmmm…

Yeah I think the main problem isn’t the cyclists themselves, it’s that cyclists don’t have a safe place ride without getting ran over.

Meaning that, as usual, cars are the problem.

Dutch people: “both of those are dumb and dangerous”

You mean “did Trump think?”

The answer is very obviously, always and everywhere: no

Iran won so hard, they basically said “we’ll discuss your terms with whoever gets this loser out of the office”

Yeah, the answer is that most of the creative community is a bunch of tolerant lefties. Not exactly a group prone to random extreme violence.

This just in: thing that everyone with even the tiniest bit of knowledge said was stupid and impossible turns out to be impossible! (And also stupid)

I mean, that’s still a pretty decent question after reading the book…

Are people operating on themselves? What?

One of the problems is that restaurants don’t feel quite the same need to be at least somewhat healthy. I often wonder “Do I really want to add another 150 grams of butter?” when restaurants chefs will gladly add a full pound.

A no-fly zone isn’t just “we make their planes go away”. It means you need to fly there. And that means you need to take out their AA, and their airborne radar outside the zone, and their ground based radar. You need to take out their ability to fly, so you need to kill the airfields, which means taking out the close range AA at those fields.

To establish a no-fly zone, you need to bomb the ever living shit out of Russia, not just inside Ukraine but deep within Russian borders too. The 2011 no-fly zone over Libya involved attacking 600 tanks, for example (insert turret-toss joke here), and thousands of ground-attack sorties.

Make no mistake, a “NATO no-fly zone” is just a declaration of war, without any boots crossing the border at ground level.

Not that I think we shouldn’t, but it’s not exactly easy

We solved this by simply not bringing a camera everywhere. Or, if you followed my clothing style, by just having absolutely massive pockets…

I don’t think I’ve ever had a camera aNd gaming handheld in my pockets at the same time.

I do historical reenactment, so I know an above average number of people with… interesting vehicles.

You can own any vehicle you want, as long as you don’t use it on the open road. Making a ww2 willys jeep street legal isn’t too hard, since its historical. Anything from before the 1960s doesn’t need to meet pretty much any safety standards other than “have lights and brakes”.

But the cyberstuck isn’t from before then, and would need to meet safety standards. Only some of the requirements can be waived for special reasons, but not all of them. There’s one semi-famous story of a group who couldn’t get their “ww2-ified” 1970’s M5 halftrack approved for the road because it’s insufficiently historical, so they had to install 3-point seatbelts and such. Technically, a 1940’s M3 halftrack could be approved, to they basically bought a chassis from one, and made the M3-of-Thesseus, where they basically kept the chassis plate, and replaced everything else. So now it’s oficially a 1940’s halftrack, with 99.95% 1970’s parts.

I don’t think that works for a cybertruck.

I’ve never actually seen one in the Netherlands. Plenty of absurdly big pickups, but not a cybertruck
