I mean, nobody is saying it was aliens. But it was aliens.

In the 60s the world was about to burn from nuclear holocaust

Yeah? How does it work, then?

Fun fact: due to the uncertainty principle, light actually spreads out as a circular wave of probability from the Sun out through the solar system. It may or may not interact with something on the way - once it does, the probability wave function collapses into a certainty and is no longer spread out through the vast distances of space.

So this particular packet of light could be just about to interact with a rock on the Moon, when fate decides that it will instead end up drying your cum sock.

Very. The entire Republican party is a disgrace for allowing this.

Nobody I’d trust to vote or drive a car believed that.

Firewatch and What remains of Edith Finch both take around four hours to finish. You can easily finish them in a day or two.

Hey, it’s subjective. And you’re misrepresenting what I’m saying. I’m not saying there haven’t been games with excellent storytelling. FF7, Another World, Space Quest 3 come to my mind. There are undoubtedly a hundred more. But in reality those games still appealed more to us kids than my dad. With TLOU I feel like something new happened: the story resonated more with the dad in the house (me) than with the kids.

• Firewatch
• What remains of Edith Finch
• Outer wilds

The first two are “walking simulators”, i.e. very linear. But the story telling of all three is amazing. Firewatch also feels like a “game for grown-ups”. It deals with a person who leaves his wife because she gets early onset dementia. He runs off to work as a firewatch in a national park. Lots of complicated feelings involved and an extremely engaging mystery unfolding.

Neither was Leisure Suit Larry. But I’d argue that the the game still appealed more to kids than to adults. With TLOU I saw something else happen: many kids hated the ending, while dads like me totally got it.

If we want to be charitable there’s a nugget of truth to what he’s saying though. I’m 48 now and I’ve played computer games since I was seven, and I’ve worked with game development myself. TLOU was the first game that felt like it had a story for someone who’s 40+. It felt like some kind of milestone. The art of games has matured significantly in the past 15 years.

So where are you getting $5K from?

Must be nice to be in the 1%

That’s what she said

Be careful not to give conservatives more stupid arguments

In my experience, judging from the subjective felt effect when drinking it, the amount of caffeine in filter coffee can vary by a factor 3x depending on brewing technique. I just came back from the U.K. and the hotel breakfast coffee there did less for me in three cups than a single cup from my Fellow Aiden coffee brewer at home. I used to cold brew coffee but had to stop because the apparently higher caffeine content gave me heart problems.

I’m aware of the amount of coffee, but unaware of the caffeine content in that coffee
