Everything except pants. My legs are apparently within the bounds of normality but my head, hands, feet, and spine are simply too big.
You wouldn’t think being six feet tall would be such a hindrance to shopping. It’s not big enough to stand out in a crowd, so why is it so big as to be incompatible with mass production?
People getting nuked is the scenario you’re describing as weird to not be excited for.
Either humanity gradually grows to despise you for your ancient morals
or they don’t ever meaningfully surpass where we’re at today.
I’d always suggest being direct instead of waiting for other people to take a hint. Tactfully, mind you. Phrase it in a relaxed, emotionally neutral way that doesn’t single him out. Something like “Really, I am doing fine. When I’m at work, I just prefer to focus on the work itself instead of talking with people. I’m more at ease that way.”
That being said, is this the kind of work situation where you’re one of many options to make friends with or is it more of a you and him stuck in a room together all day type of thing? He sounds like a lonely person and if the two of you are stuck together then the best idea might be to seek a social compromise between you two’s preferences, like designating some specific portions of the day as times when it’s appropriate to have a conversation. You try to be sociable for him when it’s on, he tries to be quiet for you when it’s off.
I’ve only met two people I would describe as narcissistic and they don’t align on this subject.
What they had in common was not feeling differently about cats than they do other animals, which is also true of almost everyone I’ve known that isn’t narcissistic.
Content, when referring to media.
I don’t mind people using “literally” to refer to things that they don’t literally mean because that’s just perfectly normal exaggeration.
What I hate is that the dictionary definition changed to formalize the nonliteral meaning as a literal meaning.
I’m playing Dragon’s Dogma II, taking the suspended tram into Bahkbattal or however you spell it. One of my pawns failed to make it into the basket before it started moving but they’re not a ranged fighter so they’re no use in driving off harpies anyways and I don’t bother turning back since I know from previous antics that they tend to find a way back to you.
A few minutes into the trip, dangling precariously in a rickety wooden contraption over a canyon, I hear the cry of a griffin. I spot it over the horizon, its eyes locked with mine. I am forced to watch helplessly as it approaches, drawing an arrow as if it could accomplish anything. The griffin slams into my tram, shattering it instantly and dropping the three of us to our doom.
That pawn that didn’t make it on the tram catches me in a bridal carry and sets me gently down on my feet, completely unharmed.
That’s why the game’s fast travel systems are made to discourage you from using them, because adventures don’t happen during loading screens.
That sounds apocryphal.
“If weak to fire then cast Fira”. You don’t even need to have your characters learn the weakness first by scanning them, they just intuit every weakness.
Yoko Shimomura is actually my favorite JRPG composer. She did Kingdom Hearts, Mario RPG/& Luigi, and Radiant Historia before this game.
Her combat music always stands out to me in particular for being emotionally unconventional. Everybody else makes a battle theme and all that’s on their minds to convey is “cool and/or scary that violence is happening, throw in some grandiosity if it’s a big one” but she’ll do stuff like “the enemy is the panicked one here; they’re trying to front like they’re badass but actually I weep for them” or “you are losing a nonverbal rap battle.”
XV actually let me down a bit in that specific regard but the soundtrack as a whole is very solid.
That may be silly to think about but it worked.
It’s got a beautiful flow when you say it out loud, though.
Anything with a subtitle that isn’t a sequel or licensed game.
That sort of thing.
Ever try holding your breath for as long as a TV or movie character is getting smothered to death? It’s not even uncomfortable.
While I don’t disagree with the sentiment, exo means outside.
Training it on research papers wouldn’t make it smarter, it would just make it better at mimicking their writing style.
Don’t fall for the hype.
When they stop feeling clean. Why are you all counting days?
The argument against cars also holds that people should live in places where cars aren’t necessary to avoid hermitude in the first place. You don’t need cars to socialize if you can walk to where people are, you don’t need cars for supplies if you can walk to where stuff is.
Long distance travel can have non-car solutions but also it shouldn’t be the default distance to be away from society.
That’s in there, certainly, but that’s not the extent of it. And despite the title, it does actually have some examples of right wing comedians who are funny.
