The fun thing about everyone telling Alex & Vinny they're playing the game wrong is that their suggestions are also wrong

@shadypingu: My guess for the book Abby put down halfway through was (spoilered since something she said is a big spoiler for it) Use of Weapons from The Culture series by Iain M. Banks. Kind of a shame since I think it's a really great series, but it's one of my least favourite entries in it.

@brad bananas ARE radioactive but eating them doesn't increase your absorbed radiation dose because the human body regulates the amount of potassium in it pretty strictly, and the potassium in the bananas is just as radioactive as any other naturally occurring potassium

lol this is such a pathetically weak excuse, there are any number of things that they would obviously never touch. Trans people are just a minority that are/were still acceptable to treat as nothing more than a joke to much of society, and it's one of many things that makes GTA games age extremely poorly, despite their enormous budgets and production values

I wouldn't be too mad about either choice, but I definitely lean towards savescumming. I don't remember the details but I think I lost someone exactly the same way, yeah you can justify it after the fact but "inspire loyalty through experience" is what is asked for, which Samara fits exactly. I almost never replay games so I think I reloaded and looked up a guide after that.

@danryckert@ybbaaabby Bourgeoisie is a noun which basically means the merchant class (it's more complicated, but basically rich people who don't make their money from producing goods and services), bourgeois is an adjective used to describe something typified by this class, and bougie is a slang contraction of the same. Bougie actually means candle in French. This has been an answer to a question you didn't even ask like 6 months ago, sorry

My favourite thing about one of the Soviet probes to Venus: there was an instrument to measure soil compressibility by basically poking a very carefully calibrated stick into it. They had also had cameras on their previous probes, with fancy lenscaps to protect them from the high-pressure and corrosive atmosphere of Venus. Problem was they wouldn't come off when they were supposed to. Finally, one probe landed, the lenscap ejected successfully, and landed directly where the soil probe was pointed, giving a very good measurement of the compressibility of a titanium lenscap and absolutely nothing about Venus

@captubaplayer: I think it's because Rorie's job is primarily customer support, so he's maybe technically in the CBSi customer support department instead of whatever the rest of GB is. As far as I know Jeff is everyone else's manager (also I don't know shit and could be very wrong)

@alex do you know that you can just right click on the map to move a unit instead of having to left click the move command and then left click the map every time? Maybe it's just me but having to click and move the mouse twice as much seems super annoying

@angrighandi: That's pretty much the way they're presented in a lot of Octavia Butler's work
