…it didn’t occur to them to even start learning Russian before they went?!

so many fuckin Worfs

…so it’s a party van!

I’ve been trying to avoid soap labelled antibacterial for this reason, and it’s tricky to even find any that’s not labelled antibacterial.

Been wondering if they don’t just slap the label on any soap, because it could be considered antibacterial by its nature. Apparently not?

That’s a lot better than what I thought he’d be lining up…

As another perspective - it took me a moment or two to work out what was happening in the second picture, but then the whole tableau made sense to me!

About a year ago, I was playing with my younger kids watching. I had a home base above an extensive cave system that featured a ladder up a large stalactite as the main way in and out, as I figured that was plenty safe from mobs.

Was messing with something in the cave system, picked up a creeper on the way back, and dashed back to the ladder and started climbing out. Looked back down and the creeper was climbing the ladder after me! I’d never seen any mobs use ladders before! So I’m making these panicked shrieks in between laughing at my potential demise, the kids are cracking up, and I eventually get to the top and close a door behind me - but that panicked, giddy rush still sticks with me!

(I never looked into it - how long have creepers been able to climb ladders? And can most mobs do that now, or just them?)

Dead? Really? Cuz Portal and Minecraft are my kids’ top two games!

Dragon’s not completely gone; she’s just attending to other stuff while the characters are handling their slice of things. She does show up more towards the end, IIRC. I think she also had some plot resolution; though my memory is fuzzy here.

And some of my other favorites feature in Ward!

More of a callback, I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/grilledcheese/comments/2or1p3/you_people_make_me_sick/

I think that would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

People who live in an area should be empowered to push back against outside interests coming in and changing things to the detriment of the residents, like the HOA posted earlier that protected their forest and watershed.

The problem is that this power is often turned back onto the residents. This sounds to me like hyper-local politics - and so the answer is to get involved and vote out the assholes in power, not ban the existence of the political body!

(Edit) I didn’t realize this, but some HOAs are controlled by outside developers, rather than local residents? That I can get behind banning!

Mine has been docked for months at a time. I recently started shifting it to be near the kids when they’re home; but not undocking it wouldn’t strike me as strange at all.

That’s a really tough thing to deal with, but that doesn’t mean what you did was wrong.

I can’t see Trump being the sort to try to build something beyond himself. I don’t think he could see the point of trying to cultivate a successor; and even if he did, I think he would see them as potential competition - he’d likely try to sabotage them, if anything.

Ugh, okay - I suspected something hinky was going on with Adam just from the summaries I’d seen, but I’m just as happy to give that game a miss now! Think I like him better as a brain in a box, but it still colors their relationship…

But not the stem!

What went on in that game? The plot synopses I’ve found have lacked detail; he just comes off as vaguely controlling and uncommunicative.

That’s the one I haven’t played. Then I had to look up who this weird “Adam” character was in some of the following games…

I remember the plot was odd, but reading a random wiki didn’t make the story really stick for me.

We need more chicks who are “Basically the female equivalent of Duke Nukem”, and only Lara and Bombshell (from Ion Fury) come close to that bill

I’ve long been a fan of Samus Aran!

Does that show Ben Shapiro’s people made to be a Pro-Right Cartoon, but failed when the super woke antagonist was… a far more likable character than the protagonist, and said protagonist was so accidentally queer-coded as a closested gay bear with a crush on the woke antagonist guy that it attracted a Leftist fanbase that ships the Protagonist and Antagonist together? To such an extent that it might as well be a canon pairing?

Oh my god, this blew right past me! What show was this?
