Hades II tops the list so hard, it even brought the previous game up with it!

“…the Holy Roman Empire.” (Quickly and quietly) “It’s actually Germany, but don’t worry about it”

Edit: to be clear, I was quoting Bill Wurtz

In a roundabout way, you could argue both were factors.

Twitter’s echo chamber becoming cacophonous with spite and worse means less people visiting the site, and refusal to support the site would be a better look, but that pr move might be easier on the corporate wallet as well.

Yeah, maybe it would make more sense to just hook up an electrical mimic-fireplace to a fusion reactor’s electrical output, than to use the actual helium plasma exhaust to mimic flames, come to think of it.

No, that still probably wouldn’t work out, as the other comments have pointed out. Just clarifying that the dangerous aspects of what I asked wouldn’t involve uranium in particular.

True, but I was specifically talking about nuclear fusion, which would entail helium/hydrogen plasma rather than fissionable material.

The way you used italics, I gotta ask, is excommunication coming from the Presbyterians unusual compared to other Christian groups?

…by coming back as a yurei to haunt the people who wronged you? I’m not following.

…I’m out of the loop, are sorcerers somehow less effective in social and/or combat encounters with specifically blue and bronze dragons?

“Oh, no, those powers require being the kid in that situation…”

Yeah, you could easily reflavor component-requiring Animal Friendship as “just feeding the animal and somehow flawlessly avoiding harm”, just to make it ambiguous whether this is actually magic or just mundane.

I haven’t actually seen this being used, but since Hypnotic Pattern in DND5E can require a stick of incense as a component if you’re using spell components, I imagined someone casting that by twirling a thurible (incense burner on a chain) above their head, and somehow physically throwing the scent into the targeted area, and then a (mostly) harmless explosion of colorful, sparkly gas charms any affected targets through sheer fascination.

Yeah, I think there’s a vast difference between what we have now (ChatGPT and whatnot), vs the theoretical possibility of an AGI (artificial general intelligence), or even an AI based entirely off of human neural patterns. Mind you, brain uploading sounds hard, so maybe I’d see a completely synthetic AGI as more likely.

But if we were ever to develop an AGI, we’d better start giving those things humanesque rights fast.

I mean, I agree with the meme completely, but I’d also want to turn around in their arms and cuddle them right back. I’m a fan of both hugging and being hugged, and it might be a sensory thing.

I was thinking something like a chisel, but yeah, these comments suggest even that would break before the ice.

One one hand, I don’t trust Kotaku articles as far as I can throw them. On the other hand, I’m hoping the “major games going out of stock” part isn’t gonna be a problem in terms of historical preservation of these games.

So I’m guessing the chart is telling me that non-phone-nor-Switch/Deck handhelds don’t even have a niche scene, by comparison?

And oddly, it also seems like handheld dipped into near-nothingness even sooner than arcades (perhaps due to things like the Switch and the Steam Deck merging the former field into PCs and consoles, I guess?). How common were arcades when the original version of the Nintendo Switch came out (2017-ish)?

Is it already out? Or did the store page update prior to release?

I am especially bad about the “clenched jaw” part, so thanks much for the reminder
