This is what happens when we let foreign interests fund our politicians.

I have to admit I have no proof other than it wouldn’t be the worst thing these kind of companies have done.
That, and as far as putting down any sort of ‘grassroots’ movement, making them look like fools is a move straight out of Freakonomics in regards to how the KKK was effectively out on blast by the Superman radio Broadcast of the day.
By showing how crazy and dumb the organizations ‘secret codes’ & ‘rituals’ were, their numbers dropped precipitously.
I’m still not convinced that these guys aren’t being fronted by oil conglomerates to make real climate activists look like morons.
Considering that a US hospital will charge you a few grand for even looking in their direction these days, $2,500.22 for something serious, like seizures, sounds like a steal :(
Ideally, it would be the same word over and over, so that we can trick the AI into ending all sentences with the word. Bonus points if it is the word “buffalo”, since it can from a grammatically correct sentence.
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
Damn, has it been that long already!?
That’s the ‘soon’ I was referring to, I guess. He’d been working on another game in the same universe when he got the rights back.
Mentioned in this thread.
And I believe the designer got the rights back fairly recently, so I’m hoping for more of this!
I’ve had a lot of fun with Book of Demons, which is a bit more simplified, but really respects whatever amount of time I have to put into it!
It’s worse because they are a suicidal death cult.
They wish to bring about their version of the end of the world and are doing everything they can to make it happen. All the while, they are dragging the rest of the world down with them.
Didn’t even have to be the US.
Israel has been known to threaten US politicians with financially backing their political opponents unless their Zionist line is toe’d.
God forbid Federal Highway Administration or the Department of Transportation actually work on removing distractions along highways…
The wisdom is incorrect though, in the sense that you aren’t ‘disposing’ of the oil using this method. You are simply hiding it while simultaneously toxifying your immediate environment.
How they used to get rid of motor oil back in the day.
The original Homeworld also scaled difficulty based on how well you were doing on previous levels.
You can never trust a zealot.
Especially one from a nigh-suicidal death-cult that’s hell-bent on speeding up their version of apocalypse…
I had a game where done other players tried to pull the “shopping episode” stuff twice before I had to put my foot down.
We hadn’t even gone on our first quest yet. We had no Gold to buy anything.
If it is an industry problem, then this sort of event is usually what snowballs into actual change.
The tip of this case, I believe, isn’t just the caffeine content, but the fact that it:
While the company isn’t required to cater to individuals with very specific tolerances of the simulant, they likely had data available to them that suggests that this outcome was always a possibility, yet they supposedly ran the product until people died.
Yeah, but nobody’s drinking 3 30 oz coffees in one sitting. Nor is coffee really marketed as a health drink.
A 30-ounce, large-size Panera Charged Lemonade has about 390 milligrams of caffeine, about four times the amount found in a cup of coffee.
I won’t even pick up a new game if it’s got more than 3 types of tokens/currencies anymore.
Especially if it looks like it takes more time to set up and explain the rules than it takes to actually play the game.
