So that's what happens with your posts, huh. There's actually like three reelyas fighting over the edit button, but they're dimensionally displaced so things get messy and time consuming :P

On the one hand, that sounds comfy.

On the other, that also sounds, uh. Not great? From a plague spreading perspective? I guess the purifiers are supposed to stop it, but if they're not like actually 100% effective but are moving a lot of air around, well...

But sure, if you're asking if games have been modded to the point the gameplay and whathaveyou is wildly different than the base, then yes. Warcraft 3's an eternal good example of it (well, sorta', reforged kinda' screwed things up but whatever, before that), with custom maps that turned a real time strategy game into stuff that included third person shooters, racing games, turn based rpgs, and more. Plenty of stuff utterly divergent from the base experience.

It's far from alone, it mostly just depends on how accessible the game is to modders and/or how invested or stubborn the folks in question are. People have done wild things over the decades.

They're insurance companies, though. Stick a bunch of gretchin in there wearing cardboard boxes with "Spezh Maroon" scrawled across them and with a small bribe gift they'll never notice the difference.

Hey now, soul storm was plenty enjoyable. Maybe somewhat of a step down from dark crusade, but it wasn't terrible.

Also serves as the base for some of the better mods, iirc. When you're done fiddling with the base game lemon, you might want to scope the dawn of war modding scene, it has some neat stuff.

Man, keep yo' fetishes out of this wholesome discussion on bottling human children :V

3532
((I know the sun drop in a bottle joke but...))

Bottling humans tends to be illegal
Eh, it's generally legal to bottle the ashes of the deceased!

I mean, hopefully that's a long way off for the sprog and Baal will have died of old age happily surrounded by family before it's a possibility, but if you want to bottle people you gotta' plan ahead.

And if you're close enough to grab someone's shirt, you're close enough to restrain them non-lethally.
Gonna be honest, that sounds a lot like the opinion of someone who hasn't tried.
Is it too much to ask that police should know how to subdue someone without shooting them?
Cops and their supporters would like you to think it is, as near as I've noticed.

I think we'd probably be well off just assuming medical professionals and non-cops that work with the violently unwell without access to firearms are just some kind of superhuman flesh robots, and we shouldn't expect such impossible standards of behavior for mere police. The licence to kill without repercussion saps the root of your strength, you see. That's how reality works, somehow or another. say it with me now, step one-of-many, qualified immunity needs to go die in a fire

The Kenosha police have no idea who the shooter might be. It's a complete mystery. Anyone know where they might find him, he's shown here, on the left.
Wait, I thought they arrested the shit like a state away after he casually strolled through the police line and left the scene?

So Laura is expected to hit cat 4 by landfall within the next 24 hours or so. Storm surge along parts of the Louisiana coast are being forecast, and I quote, as "unsurvivable", and the surge in general is expected to get as far as 30 miles inland. If you're somehow in the area and haven't got the fuck out yet, now might be the time to out your fuck get.

E: Went by the TV talking about damage, noticed they mentioned Laura got up into the 150 mph winds territory. Didn't sound like it hit outright cat 5 territory, but it was in spitting distance of it. Almost another full up Michael, less than two years later.

Storm surge apparently wasn't as bad as they were expecting (though still pretty bad), but the winds wrecked shit pretty hard in places. Folks that were in that are going to be having a rough time...

So is any of that actually relevant to cops shooting a man seven times in the back and paralyzing him from the waist down? Other than maybe to establish at worst he might have had a knife (or car keys, or I'unno fucking anything or nothing) in one hand, something that doesn't even bloody remotely warrant being shot seven times in the back?

Over one, here, I think. Pretty sure it was one of the first things I changed after making an account, because holy hell is it a quality of life improvement.

I mean, I'm pretty sure, and as near as I can tell from a quick refresher google correct enough for idle chatter, there actually are words for the smallest segments of linguistic or written expression (which is somewhat separate from the axiom babble, to be fair)? The phon/morph/graph -eme stuff (word sound, concept, physically written thingy, more or less and probably scrubbing over nuance 'cause, again, I'm just not terribly interested in the subject), which are probably broken down even more by folks that really bury themselves in that sort of thing.

The axiom thing theoretically can be big, but they're also where the buck stops in regards to (formal, in particular) logic and you stop being able to break down a concept or proposition any further 'cause there's just nothing left you can produce but what you assume. They're the building blocks of everything we do in terms of anything systemic (i.e. All communication and thought, at a minimum), literally the only possible indivisible aspect of a concept, and consequently the tiniest you can chop an idea down to :P

Though it might be worth eternally noting that smallest or simplest doesn't always entail small or simple, heh.

Eh. If someone tongue in cheek throwing shade at axioms and whatnot is profoundly insulting to you, you're not familiar enough with them yet, imo :P

Yeah, all those green background ones are from Rance. Including the one posted after. The Uesugi actually appears to be matched up, but the rest aren't. If you care enough to go looking for a H-game's roster to see for yourself, there's apparently anime character database sites that have the portraits more or less clean (honestly looks a lot like your mod might have straight lifted them from the first site I found, really), but I can't be arsed to link what will probably be your first results from "sengoku rance characters".

Well, some of them are from porn. I recognize at least two (the ones with green backgrounds) from Sengoku Rance, I'm pretty sure. I'd confirm but I'm currently on lunch break in a public library and ain't gon' trawl through friggin' h-game nonsense right now :P
