And are surprised when the other 95.8 don’t understand US Customary Units, but you saw this gag coming from 3 Rhode islands away.

Except there are many things that can be done without groups and more games add functionality to accomplish this (comparing FFXI at launch and today, for instance). Multiplayer could also simply refer to the fact that multiple people are playing this game at the same time, which would fit better with the first statement.

If a game wanted to force multiplayer, they should do it from the start and just not allow doing things solo. Then, you’re right, I simply wouldn’t play that game.

A story set in a universe I like with plenty of content?

A lot of the top set come from latin and/or french (sometimes borrowed from one into the other first). Lots of words around the legal system, government, nobility, etc. come from those roots. Many from the Norman conquest but some earlier. Some even got borrowed in twice (not french but both shirt and skirt are borrowings of the same word at different times).

A lot of diplomacy was also french be cause that was the language for diplomacy for a long time. For some sciences, it was German.

A lot of the more working-class, I guess, and later words follow the old Germanic patterns (the base of a lot of old English coming from Anglo-Saxon and, to a lesser degree, old Norse)

Yeah, the inside of a 3.5" was still just a little floppy magnetic thing. I was just trying to be silly and channel my old-man-yells-at-cloud vibe.

I, on the other hand, much prefer being able to play an MMO solo and grouping with people when I decide to be social. Locking content behind grouping is just plain annoying. As with all games, I’m there to explore the world and the story and the less I have other humans involved in that, the better in most cases.

Sure be a shame if all that selling screwed up the economy enough to completely offset any gains of collecting everything they can carry and immediately sell it instead of, y’know, roleplaying how actual people in that world would behave.

I wanna know who uses the Euro and sells milk in gallons, heh.

That was true of the small Ohio town I grew up in. Tons of anti-semitism, racism, hatred of non-straights, hatred of non-christians, etc. Most of the jobs were in agriculture and manufacturing. I no longer live in the US but, if I had to move back, I don’t think you could pay me enough to live in that place again.

I prefer ‘cubiform’, but I never realized that cubicle could be an adjective.

We had floppy drives but they started making the disks rigid! Rigid!!! If only we could go back to the good old scuzzy times…

If I have to give only a binary yes/no answer, the answer is no. In reality, there are lots of variables ranging from breed, pen size, herd makeup, season, socialization, hunger, weather, and even more that would factor in. That’s without considering the other variable of you as a person they don’t know.

Edit: that’s not even to say the cattle or a bovine would intentionally hurt you. They’re big, sometimes clumsy, have horns, etc. I follow some youtubers who have been raising cattle anywhere from a couple years to most of their lives and they still are very careful in a lot of their movements and interactions.

You can pry my THAC0 from my cold, dead, -10 AC hands

I want to get started 3d printing, partially because I bought a house and farm and need to replace some little bits and bobs that don’t necessarily need to be super strong. It just seems a bit too much to try to figure out right now.

Me, living in Japan: that’s cheap for pizza and a side!

Not even any places deliver to where I live now so I have to drive a couple towns over.

I have a 200v induction cooktop. My only complaint so far is that I don’t quite have as fine-grained control as I did with gas, but that doesn’t matter most of the time. It also isn’t heating up and around the pan. In any case, I have a portable casette gas stove if I really want to make Chinese in a wok with high heat and the flame coming up the sides.

My water heater is an eco-cute and does quite well for energy efficiency. It was a bit of a change coming back from instant on-demand gas water heaters, but it’s fine now that I’m used to it.

I live in rural Japan, so that may take a while, heh. Thanks, though!

BG3. I moved after I started playing and haven’t had time to really go back to it and, at this point, kinda forget everything.

People in Japan do it all the time. Ideally, the chef would get the proper amount of wasabi on everything and you wouldn’t need/want to do it, but that is not always the case. It is generally looked on more favorably to dab some wasabi on each piece rather than mixing, though.

McDonald’s pizza. Technically like 1 location still makes it. It’s mostly just a big nostalgia hit for me.

A Rax roast beef sandwich.

Wendy’s pitas. When I worked there in the mid-90s, they had pitas that I quite liked.

Now I want fast food, but it’s not worth the hour to get to McD’s and back.
