Japan cast cat girl, it was super effective. All knowledge of atrocities was erased from western nations.

They’ve continually devalued Sunday ticket as a product. I’m surprised Google isn’t more pissed about it, as they paid a fuck load for the rights to be the exclusive seller.

A lot of the problem is lack of regulation and enforcement. These apps play fast and loose with self exclusion and identifying problem gamblers, with no real consequences. They also tend to ban or heavily limit anyone who wins big. There’s also been a few stories of sports books canceling bets as obvious errors to avoid large payouts.

It would be a lot better if regulation more closely aligned with that of alcohol.

Gamepass never made sense to me as a product. Games make most their sales money in the first few months, but MS gave them away as day 1 additions. Games are heavily monetized with dlc, but a rotating catalog makes buying any less desirable since you could lose access unless you bought the game as well. The subscription seemed to push sales at you, but that’s a turn off for consumers. The used game market was still a thing, a 6 month subscription is less value than spending the same on a handful of games to keep permanently.

I’m not sure how it could succeed unless they stopped selling games at all for Xbox, which would probably kill it faster.

Barrels are a wear item on these things, the Abrahams replaces a barrel at 1500 shots. While they may not lose many mechanisms, there’s still passive demand for barrels.

There isn’t an incumbent in this race. The seat is held by a Democrat that is retiring.

Kill with focused global efforts including nukes, most things. Kill in a firefight with conventional weapons, guardsmen, rippers, genestealer, gaunts, sister repentia, ork boyz, or anything else at roughly that level.

The only real difference is presenting original documents. NICS is already a bureaucratic process that can’t easily be fixed if you’re flagged.

It an investment return problem as much as a technical one. A computer could maybe reduce a team of 6 to a team of 2, saving optimistically 500k/year. The cost of building that system is likely at least ten million, putting a break even at 20 years minimum. When you factor in the costs of maintenance and running the program, it’s going to make it take even longer. Also because it’s not actually a solvable problem, you have to pick an accuracy level you are comfortable with, too low and you need too many people fixing things anyway, too high and people are cheaper.

I wouldn’t mind a remaster that updated to a more halo 2 or 3 design and did another pass on the levels. The game itself is pretty dated, anything that doesn’t at least tweak things a little doesn’t seem appealing.

Line of sight is simulated from individual to individual, rather than the unit as a whole, and the game will also track the contents of individual magazines.

RIP my PC of I try to run this.

It’s also a problem with wargames in general. Since no one is dieing and there’s no real stakes, it’s more of a way for officers to show off their plans. If someone wins, but does it by deviating from the plan it makes the officers look bad. When there’s actual lives on the line, winning starts looking better than how you won.

I had a previous company send out a company wide announcement from a sketchy sender with a weird file attachment(apparently it’s a voice mail file format), and the email was essentially listen to this attachment with no signature or anything else. They had to send out a second email explaining the suspicious email is actually real. Companies seem intent on ensuring there is minimal difference between phishing and legitimate email.

It depends on the objective of the war. Nation building is basically impossible. Killing the crap out of an enemy until they surrender is pretty effective historically. Killing the crap out of select targets while avoiding excessive civilian casualties is generally ineffective. WWII was a total war scenario, the US and USSR absolutely killed entire areas of German and Japanese towns.

Gangs aren’t forcing you to buy, but they are causing vandalism, theft, and intimidating the locals from reporting crimes, and generally preventing investment in an area that would improve the local economy. It’s a self reinforcing loop.

There really isn’t. You’re just adding a connotative difference if it’s a socially acceptable reason.

That’s generally how cult classics work. You see praise for The Big Lebowski because those that don’t like it mostly ignore it.

It’s considered the best by those that like it, New Vegas is very much a cult classic.

It’s part of setting boundaries and letting someone know that they exist. You aren’t being a dick of someone chooses meth over a relationship. No one is entitled to a relationship, there are plenty of acceptable reasons that could be ultimatums to end a relationship.

It’s more about getting truck traffic out of downtown Windsor, and a fuck you to the billionaire that owns the bridge in Detroit.
