But... but... autism is caused by tiny parasites living in your intestines. That's why chemical bleach enemas help autistic kids.

Ah, FFS. Nice typo tho. :D

Started Elex. After Gothic I knew what I was getting myself into. I'm enjoying it so far, the only problem is that I absolutely don't like the starter area and I'm actually thinking of skipping it. It's a long ass track across the map but meh, better that than being yelled at every time I open the inventory.

Some more 90ies goodliness:

Well the YouTube Rebel Alliance screwed the better of the posted videos up, so here's a slightly sped up mirror flipped video:

That's not really what I was going for, but I appreciate the reply nontheless. It's a bit too late to discuss this in detail, I just wanted to point out that between two apparently equally unlikely scenarios we can - usually - pick one that is superior through Occam's razor, at least until such a time new evidence or observation falsify one or both assumptions. Not that this truly applies to faith or the idea of a creator entity. Because faith is not falsifiable by default.

Stop mansplaining, thank you very much.

Yeah, that's it. And apparently even a newer version than the one that comes with the default GOG installation. The optional content is in the "Plus" patch portion. I never tried the restored content so I have no idea what it really does.

Emphasis added by me. What a schizophrenic post.

^ The GOG version comes with the unofficial fixes applied. You can read about that in the Bloodlines forum. You only need to download and apply anything if you want more than fixes e.g. the optional components. edit: It's fairly easy to check, install the game, it'll tell you that the version is Unofficial Patch 9.7 - not sure, could be that there's a newer unofficial patch out at the moment, but my installation came with 9.7

It's patched up and ready to go but with only the bugfixes from the unofficial patch and no restored or changed content.

Except it's not. /quakefanboy.

I don't know, considering the gross overpopulation I'd say it's more selfish to actually produce tiny little bastards. We need less people on the planet, not more. For the good of literally everyone and everything.

Except it's not, but that is a whole different can of worms and wouldn't really belong into a political thread anyway. But it's a very human trait, looking for patterns and order where there might be none.

Its relevant insofar as people can think one thing, and then years later change their minds and think another thing. *GASP* Also, people are stupid and gullible, as evidenced by the approximate 3.8 BILLION Christians and Muslims that CURRENTLY belive in a sky overlord. BTW, has the worldwide infection rate of AIDS increased or are you just locked onto Africa since that specific place has had an AIDS rate increase? Sure Trump is free to change his mind about something, God knows he does that all the time. It's not about what he said though but about the apparently new policy at the EPA of not bothering with existing asbestos and all that jazz, just proving that Trump hasn't changed his mind about this particular subject. The overall number of new (known) HIV infections is on a slow decline since the late 2000s but the disease is still a huge issue and far from no longer as problematic as predicted just because it's no longer a death sentence in the West. The article's statement is true from a rather limited point of view...

Even the best infrastructure won't solve physical realities - if you play on a remote server on a device that does nothing but stream the game's output and relay inputs there's going to be input lag. And that becomes noticable VERY quickly. Sure certain sort of games can make it look like that doesn't matter that much through pacing and good client code (which there won't be any) like most MMOs but the idea of playing Quake with a 30+ms delay after I click on the mouse? Ah hell, no way.

Hurry up and watch this video before it gets banned by the rich.

When I was that age our school took us on a yearly trip to an NGO helping recovering addicts by providing them with housing and small time jobs to help their recovery and possible return to society. We had a chance to interact with them, hear their stories and how it happened that they got addicted. That was much better than any silly film about drugs we were shown. Hyperbole and overblown fearmongering is not really necessary. We also learned up-front that the ideas of gateway drugs was silly. None of them had progressed to heroine abuse from a joint or two.

Which is relevant to the asbestos evaluation just how? Not to mention how ignorant that article really is when it states that "AIDS will get worse" as false. *cough* Africa *cough*

Yay!

No, he quit in 2016. But he opened a restaurant, so if you wanna grab some food and are somewhere near Vancouver... Thankfully, that's nowhere near my half of the globe, so I guess I'm safe. Actually... the place is very highly rated.

If I had any faith left that Martin will finish the books in his lifetime I'd skip the last season in a heartbeat. It'll be the only form of closure A Song of Ice and Fire gets. And with that... I simply need to watch it. Heck, I'd watch it if they replaced the showrunners with Uwe Boll. I don't want to end up like scorchiebeanie, poor bastard.

Not sure if the books are really overrated. They only really had cult-like following with a lot of notable contributors due to Martin's quite excellent world building and tendency to set up plot twists with little details long before they happen. The real hype only started after Season 1 was a smash hit for HBO and the only book to come out since then was A Dance With Dragons and that received very mixed reactions from the fanbase. It's also way too easy to forget that the first three books came out 20 years ago. It's been a while and entertainment's changed in general. A lot, and not always for the better, but that's a different can of worms.
