Let me file that under D… for Donut.

Sorry, this post was sarcasm, due to the many redundant posts in multiple communities. It was practically the only news in my feed today.

I say yes. It’s one of my favorite genres (if you can call it one) and definitely includes loop-based plots like Groundhog Day and Primer. But I also enjoy the Terminator Series and Back to the Future and others that don’t really loop that way. I suspect most fans are similar. It’s hard to imagine enjoying one premise but not the other.

I could go give it a negative review if that would help you feel more grounded.

Just kidding, congratulations :)

If it’s labeled “holy” I assume a priest stuck his willy in it, so no.

I went there a couple months ago, and it seemed like all the native folks spoke Irish (Gaelic) to some degree. It was pretty surprising, I thought I’d have to go to the west coast to get away from English, but nope, signs everywhere were printed in Gaelic and even the first cabbie I encountered in Dublin was more than happy to chat about linguistics!

No EU member has English as its main language

Ireland?

The guitar solo is super underrated, and one of Corgan’s best. It stands well on its own for great texture and variety in timings and bends, but it also fits the song super well and enhances it overall.

Starts at 2:26 on the track.

lol, fair enough!

Eh, I don’t even want to give credence to Carlson’s garbage by repeating it. But even if we imagine Otto Frisch was somehow there alone making drawings in the snow, we still know when it happened.

Of course we shouldn’t do that. Meitner was by far the more experienced scientist and expert on the topic.

Marie Curie didn’t discover fission; that was Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch and colleague Otto Hahn. But yeah, same problem. Meitner was left out of the publications and overlooked for a Nobel Prize.

Curie was brilliant but she didn’t discover fission.

This isn’t ancient history, it was less than 100 years ago. Links in my top level comment, but the answer is that nuclear fission as a concept emerged right around Christmas 1938.

Ice cream is far older, with early evidence of chilled dairy desserts from the Tang Dynasty ca. 618-907 CE.

In case anyone wants the answer, it’s late December 1938, when two physicists went for a walk in the snow near Stockholm to discuss findings a colleague sent via letter.

I expected the punchline to be “for me to poop on”.

I’m sure that would cause a significant portion of the playerbase to react with angry and hurtful messages. Then poor Blizzard would have no choice but to wipe their tears with their massive new pile of hundred dollar bills.

Yeah, in GTA IV, Niko doesn’t have any character stats, and his appearance never changes except for whatever clothes you buy. I assume it’s the same for the 3 protagonists in V.

It’s my favorite of the series, though I never played V.

San Andreas struck a great balance between serious and ridiculous. Some of the gang rivalry story hit pretty hard for its time, but also there was a mini Las Vegas and a goofy jetpack and tons of dumb Cluckin’ Bell jokes. It even had RPG elements like CJ getting more fit if you work out or fat if you fed him tons of fast food. Not everybody loved this and not surprisingly it was cut from later entries but I thought it added to the world. And the map was great, lots of variation between city and countryside. Great soundtrack too, rivaled only by Vice City IMO.

IV just didn’t do it for me. The phone (cousin Roman!) was obnoxious, the cars felt too heavy, the story just wasn’t very funny, and the map was pretty much all city.

Maybe I’d enjoy V since it’s huge and supposedly the vehicles are more fun, but I hear the story isn’t great.

Why is it still not on F-Droid?

Also, for all the customization it can do, man those are some ugly and generic screenshots.

Eh, except so many double-down (or triple) on the swamps and caves while omitting more interesting settings like glaciers, oases, rainforests, and river deltas.
