Wouldn't surprise me if literally all human racial differences (and things like the Mike Brown thread) were simply because humans on some continents have had more time to evolve than others, or had more demanding environments that necessitated faster evolution. For example, people in Norway or...

Something else I hardly ever see anyone bring up is that during an ice age, a lot of new land bridges can form. Sea levels might drop and expose more area, smaller water bodies could freeze and become traversable, and so on. It's possible that ancient (like really ancient) peoples were able to...

Out past Gibraltar... like... Mauritania? Follow the coast out and you reach Morocco and then Mauritania. From their vantage point, Richat itself is "past Gibraltar" Not even sure what point you're making at this point but it's too tiresome to care. What? I'm not saying it's had the same name...

Finally finished Ghost of Tsushima. I think I beat the game a lot faster than I was supposed to because the second and third acts were both pretty short (while the first took me like 23 hours). Stopped doing side-content and focused on running the story and then it was just over. Good game...

I remember the first time I ever visited Boston, I found that as you drive down Massachusetts Avenue you go through what might as well be two different countries. First you have Harvard, MIT, super-nice areas, upscale restaurants and shopping, Berklee school of music, Christian Science Center...

LOL dude I want this war over with ASAP, unlike most people I don't care who "wins" or which side is "correct". Last thing I want is Poland doing things that'll escalate it. You sure are good at being incredulous at things that I offhandedly say are "possible" like I'm staking my reputation on...

Oakwynd has OoW and DoN combined right? That was a really good call if so. Any other expansions get rolled up? IMO they also need to do: PoP+LDoN DoDH+PoR TSS+TBS Basically anything with zero AAs needs to be rolled into something that does have them. Halving the time spent at level 70 is also...

While that's true, I myself played Demon's Souls after all the other From games (BB, Souls 2, Souls 1, then the Demons), and DeS Remake was the next one I played after that. So I don't have any nostalgia goggles for the PS3 version and actually played it at a time when it was pretty antiquated...

The New York Times? Weren't they the ones who broke the story that Saddam had purchased large quantities of uranium and was currently working on building nukes? They're literally Globohomo McNews. Either way, there are a lot of complexities to the crop circle phenomenon that I haven't seen...

If Politico thinks the Suwalki Gap is "the most dangerous place on Earth" they clearly haven't been to Venezuela or South Africa or Somalia. Or Chicago

It does seem that way. People have been griping about all the remakes for like 15 years now but it really does feel like we're running on fumes of things people remember liking rather than people actually liking the new versions / takes. Just recently re-watched Rocky 1 through 4 and they...

Next they should remake Mulan with an African actress and call her "Disney's first African princess" while changing nothing about the story. If you're gonna do a "first" of something maybe have that princess actually have something to do with the culture that you're purporting to represent...

What I said originally: Poland's a big question mark in the current conflict because I'm not sure if they're going to A) Get directly involved in the conflict to make it an active NATO conflict due to being afraid they're next, or B) Jump in and slice off their own piece of western Ukraine...

Dope video. Not sure people realize how important videos like this are for things like recruitment and rep. Triality definitely got it back in the day.

DeS is one of those rare games where both the original and remake are worth playing, neither is "definitive" or obsoletes the other. I think the PS3 version does have better atmosphere and better music. I remember that game transporting me in a way few can. The remake on the other hand looks...

Nobody thinks they're in a cabal, people just think there could be a certain level of leniency shown to high-level botters due to the revenue they bring in.

I have a feeling almost any "megastructure" we might find in space is gonna be long-since abandoned, given the astronomically low odds that we'd find someone super-advanced existing at the same time as us. I'm of the mind that advanced civilizations come and go regularly, with all of the menaces...

They have no fucking idea how old the universe is.

A woman is a person, place, or thing that identifies with characteristics of being female and also wants to be called that icky word. These people want to re-write the dictionary SO BAD with new definitions for words like "woman" and "racism" but they can't (yet).

That article (like most of Yahoo News these days) is opinionated garbage. I gotta say, this decent, emotionally-charged rescue movie sure has gotten a lot of people angry for some reason. The lengths and the verbiage some writers are willing to go to in order to find anything negative at all to...

I like how they call the movie "fantastical" What's fantastical about it? Reads like someone who didn't actually watch the movie. It's a pretty mundane movie all things considered, nothing really outlandish, no action set-pieces, no grand conspiracies. Just a guy rescuing a couple of kidnapped...

We don't need a Gladiator 2, the first was an extremely self-contained story and the main character isn't around anymore. I feel like there's some deeper reason why Dredd never got a sequel. Maybe it's too masculine, or the authoritarianism is too problematic (since it's patriarchal). Or maybe...

This belongs in a different thread at this point, but I could see Poland trying to seize part of western Ukraine if the opportunity presented itself, like if Ukraine's government and military collapsed or were about to collapse and most of it is about to fall to Russia, Poland may try to create...

Hard pass, especially after the last few posts. Even a year ago I never would have thought that Guardians of the Galaxy 3 would be a hard pass for me. Not in a million years. Wow.

Want to note that I'm not a true believer but I have always been interested in crop circles out of curiosity for their complexity. That said, the situation isn't quite so cut-and-dry. There's no way those two guys are even responsible for all the crop circles in the UK much less worldwide. Also...

Yeah SoP was better than this and I maintain that this should have been called SoP 2. The more I think back on 16 the more I have no desire to revisit it, much like what happened after I finished 15. This series has seen better days. There's one fight, Ultima Prime or something, where it's...

Stevie Richards is doing the Lord's work with his new video series. He wasn't that crazy about the Tiger Driver at Forbidden Door (and neither was I). Yeah MJF re-signed a while ago on the down-low but they're going to keep pretending he hasn't on-air right up until the end of the year. 1.5M a...

The big question is why so many people would want to gin up hoaxes. Just for clout? To be assholes? Cause whatever the case is we've done a huge amount of it. Even if a greater than 0 number of sightings are legit, the vast majority are still either mistakes or hoaxed and I don't know what...

As Rubio stated, if Grusch is correct, “there’s a group of people who believe that they possess something that they don’t need to share with anybody, including elected officials, who they view as temporary employees of the government.” It's almost like there's a Deep State of unelected people...

Mars' soil radiation having what looks like nuclear heavy isotopes is a huge question mark for me. It doesn't mean it's connected to any Earth humans, or that the Mars-people were human, or that they even resembled humans, or that it even happened alongside any real life on Earth timeframe-wise...

"People"? Do they mean "women"?

Yeah I think the disc version is probably fine. I asked cause I have "GOG" in the notes for Arcanum (as well as System Shock 2, which the disc version of didn't work on my computer so that's probably why) Re: Baldur's Gate not really having any level grinding and it making your exp-gaining...

@Zaide your Quarken podcast was really good, I listened to the entire thing and I haven't finished a full podcast in a long time. The guy definitely has a gift for telling stories. Wish I could go back in time and run with his crew. Link for anyone interested so you don't have to hunt it down:

What an uggo

Someone say this is a mustard hole simulator??

Damn, zat promotion still going on? I don't have an XBox and I was considering switching to Verizon for phone service. If it's only for the home wireless I'm probably SOL, Comcast has a monopoly on this area.

Time to move this thread to screenshots...

Wait are you talking about me? I wasn't attacking you at all. I'd just gotten out of the Ancient Civs thread where I got "Acktually"d to death over things that nobody can actually confirm/deny, so I was making a general comment, didn't even have you in mind. I'm not exasperated at all, just...
