I think the other thing is that on a series with a lot of hateable characters, she’s not even fun to hate. The calypso twins were annoying as shit, gloating at your cutscene induced powerlessness, but they really worked that hate and drove it home with their streamer antics. Handsome Jack has his megalomaniacal bragging that gradually turns into a meltdown, to the point that killing him ends up being as much putting him out of his misery as getting revenge. Even claptrap, who I also want to throw off a fucking cliff, finds exciting new ways to be annoying, but Ava spends so much of the story being completely inactive that it’s easy to forget she exists until she turns up to receive the rewards that you did all the fighting for.

It’s difficult to pull off without tools, but if you crouch and jump backwards into a corner at the right angle straight after sex you can actually skip fertilisation and go straight to cellular division, shaving a good week or so off your times

It was very funny the first time I was in Austria and the Saturday test sirens went off (this is a thing in Austria. Every Saturday they blow all the air raid sirens just in case they’re one day invaded) and one of the Austrian teens jumped up and yelled “fuck! The Russians are here!” to screw with the foreigners who didn’t know about the tests, but became much less funny when I realised the Austrians genuinely thought Russia was on the brink of invading at all times.

NGL I wanted to throw that kid off a fucking cliff - Maya’s death is essentially the start, with Ava’s insistence that she “help” directly leading to Maya having to sacrifice herself to save Ava. If that was the start of some sort of personal growth plot I wouldn’t have minded, but for most (all?) of the remainder of the game, Ava is completely useless as an NPC, just being there to blame you and Lilith for Maya’s death.

As a reward for sulking and blaming you, she eventually gets Siren powers, which she can instantly weild as competently as someone who’s had them their whole life. As a reward for doing literally nothing else in the story, Lilith then makes her king of Sanctuary because she’s a siren I guess? Any other member of the crew would have made more sense to me. Fucking Marcus has more relevent experience and motivation. She’s also literally still a child and has not matured in any way since her first appearance - I assume that happens in a DLC, spin off game, or supplementary comic book, but I never saw it.

Borderlands characters aren’t exactly the most deep and complex, but she gave off the most Mary Sue vibes in a series filled with Mary Sues, being a generic annoying child that’s inexplicably put on a pedestal and labelled as Very Important and Powerful and Cool.

I don’t really like bikes or cycling but my pedalling is powered by my incandescent hatred of drivers. Also possibly some ADHD and a little bit of not wanting to wait ages for a bus, but mostly the hating cars thing.

That looks like the comfiest coat I’ve ever seen. Do they ship to the UK?

Go experience some foreigners for a while- slightly foreign works, but the more different to you the better. Work with them, eat with them, chill out with them. Observe how different their social norms are to the ones you normally see.

There’s nothing to understand about social norms, it’s just another stupid list of traditions that NTs learn without questioning, like gender, that changes wherever you go. It’s a list of rules they locally follow in order to be polite, but you can usually work out if something is polite or not by just being a remotely conscientious person, which as a communist, you should already be capable of. Let them follow their lists, and as long as you’re generally somewhat polite and conscientious to those around you they won’t even notice you’re not doing the same thing.

Fire station. A friend and I got about 100, 150 they were throwing out because they were too old to be installing in people’s homes. We’d disassembled maybe a quarter of them before reading enough to understand we weren’t gonna be making any kind of nuke with the bits of americium we were pulling out.

It’s pretty much a “baby’s first communism” pamphlet, so is it really that surprising it would be the only thing libs are familiar with?

Gonna be like an England match - win or lose, their wife is getting beaten.

Maybe it’s one of those things where you have to be there at the time.

If the most likely next frames from the dig action being taken is the block removed and the item appearing in the inventory bar then that is what would occur

You’ll notice it’s not actually got as far as the item appearing in the inventory bar - it doesn’t manage to pick up any blocks in the video, and when placing blocks the item counter just jumps around randomly.

I suspect, like with the Doom video BelieveRevolt mentioned, it can only make about 3 seconds of footage at a time too, which is the reason it keeps jumping to new scenes.

If a cat weighed 300 pounds, had the intelligence of a toddler and the morals of a seagull, it would be a dog. It’s just a dog. Seals are exactly sea puppers, people just don’t know what a pupper really is.

Thankfully not, FoundryVTT has a module (I think it’s just called Dice Stats) that will tally every die rolled through chat. I installed it to prove to the champion he’s a big whiny baby rather than having some kind of unusually bad die luck.

This person is gonna absolutely lose their shit if anyone ever tells them about schools.

Counterpont: it’s basically a funko-pop.

You’ve got three busses: one takes you half way home, but you need to walk the rest of the way in the rain. The second takes you 75 miles in the wrong direction. The third never actually leaves the station. Which bus are you taking?

This isn’t far off the puzzle of my commute, and it turned out the answer to that was bike.
