Ive wondered that about reviews in general. I cant find it anymore but there used to be a chart that showed the percentages of players that reach milestones in a game. It was really interesting to me to see how few people finish a game, or even reach chapter two! I imagine the same occurs across all genre of games so where do reviews come from? It must be the very small percentages of players that become invested in the game?

Why doesnt she just pay for it? *blows snot bubble*

Dont make me rap your knuckles with a ruler! Yeah, no bible, or torah, or quran in the administration of my government please.

Huh, Im legitimately surprised by that total. So even if it only averaged $20 / unit ($22,520,280) then Obs should be set for the time being.

Thanks for the links. I saw the 73,986 backers for PoE1 but couldn't find anything on the additional 1,126,014 boxes sold, so the 1.2M seemed off to me.

Exactly. The history of the XL expansion is a downright embarrassment of our judicial system and a systematic gaming of loopholes.

I Googled around but couldn't find anything...how many of that 1.2M were backers?

That's a scary thought. As much of a dumpster fire that Trump is, Pence is a bible thumping wackadoo that we need to keep far, far, far from power.

Is permadeath a function of the legendary server, or that's how LOTRO rolls anyway?

What I meant was, PoE1 had a big hook, "Hey everyone a spiritual successor to a beloved game!". People flocked to the new game. Then they received it...and using myself as an example, maybe felt that the only resemblance to the BG series was the isometric view or some other minor similarity? I have a hard time believing that the developers changed the mechanics in PoE2 for the lulz, so imo, PoE2 shifted because of what the data showed about how players were engaging the game.

Maybe it just wasn't "spiritual successor-y" enough? Arent the EE's of BG outperforming the PoE series and they are simply aping 20yo games.

So if Im reading this correctly, an environmental "study" was concluded 2 years ago and determined the XL pipeline risk to be negligible. Now some random judge decided that the 2017 analysis wasn't enough and requires further "reasoned explanation". Why do "prior facts" supercede new findings? What, why? Are there new endangered animals or cultures there? Its been so long I suppose an entirely new evolutionary species could have formed? I mean, these are all great sound bytes and we can all look around and pat each others backs but this bullpoop system of ours needs some severe checks and balances. Does any federal judge, anywhere, have the power to block anything, regardless of other findings, as long as they pretend to "need more info"? Why isn't there some final determiner of these cases so it does go on in perpetuity?

You don't say. Imo, thats not how the system is working: 1) Activist judges can gtfo. This judge seems to be rendering decisions on "feels" and unmeasurable "future climate impact". 2) Keystone XL has been appealed for around a decade. There needs to be a limit and final decision.

Judge blocks Keystone XL pipeline. Oof, we REALLY need to strip federal judges of this power to block anything.

Huh, thats the first time Ive ever pushed that button. It works for me when I click it. After you click "view new content", what are your filters on the left set to? Mine are set to "forums" and "content I have not read" and I can see everything.

If its based on Thanos' intent, then I say it rounds up.

Three New DNA Studies Are Shaking Up the History of Humans in the Americas.

^I know this sounds silly but its a legit question. So the guy in the picture in the above link has his right arm raised and his right hand is in a fist. If that right hand would have been flat, then that becomes a nazi salute(?), which afaik, will get you locked up in Germany. Can the guy in the picture get arrested or thats not technically a nazi salute?

Lol I did notice that but figured it was a result of a speech to text snafu.

Its freaking amazing how fast time passes. I still vividly remember carrying home from the hospital after birth and is now 18!

This study estimates a wrongful conviction rate of 11.6%, which is not exactly what I would call very rare. if you can think of a better methodology than "restrict our sample to cases where it is provable with DNA that the wrongful convictions actually happened" I'm all ears It just threw me for a loop. Somebody brings up "wrongful convictions" and you specifically narrow in on 50 year old murder and sexual assault from one location. I was expecting something else when I clicked your link along the lines of all crimes in all states but that's my bad. You do you.

My kid voted for the first time today!

That stat only covers murder and sexual assault from 48 years ago in one lone state? Is this where we do fancy math to extrapolate that 99.999% of the entire world population has been sexually assaulted?

"The worlds not doing enough for me!!!!" Exhausting.
