    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Aashi (the guy who Fandaniel took over the body of) is a popular meme character in Japan apparently (from what I understand, it has to do with the way he pronounced his name is like the word Oreo? I guess their equivalent of Chicken Tenders Ready to Fry and Big Fat Tacos lol). But ya, I...

    I doubt they will, but they did hint something was different about Zenos. Like when Zenos has a dream about the final days and Fandaniel muses that perhaps Emet Selch found a way and doesn’t elaborate. Later on Fandaniel expresses that dying to Zenos would be acceptable. Emet would have...

    I would agree on that point (they need to spend $$$$$ to harden facilities to account for these types of events). Ultimately that will potentially safe guard against future repeats. Point 1 was mostly to highlight the fact they're essentially on an island in terms of a power grid.

    The Government of Texas and the power management agencies are to blame for this, not other states 1) They deregulated and privatized their grid to avoid Federal "meddling". They're the only state in the US with its own independent grid. 2) They lost power generation capabilities from all...

    New World

    Even if you never heard of TESO, presumably you've heard of The Elder Scrolls. That alone generates interest. You hear "New World" MMO and your first thoughts are probably "what the fuck is this, a Pilgrim Simulator?"

    New World

    TESO has brand recognition, though. New World is some “Great Value” level IP, so your ability to draw players will be purely a result of how good your actual game is

    Just in general there are a few categories I notice at grocery stores: 1) The “I just need 1 thing” people who then grab a shopping cart once inside 2) The “if I walk confidently and pretend I didn’t see the line” people who just try to waltz in 3) The people wearing yoga pants and a threadbare...

    No Man's Sky

    It’s very sandbox. You can shoot/fight stuff, or trade if you want. You can find derelict ships and explore them, or do quests. Explore, build bases, mine resources to use or trade, look for exotic craft, build a star fleet

    There is a difference between food you can eat without cooking vs stuff you gotta cook. Plus this isn’t emergency starvation levels yet, so much of it could be “I want something decent to eat” vs slapping some canned tuna on crackers

    Sure, you get some assholes who bust kids with lemonade stands, but common sense let’s young kids do shit like mowing lawn/sell lemonade/shovel snow for money I used to do that as a kid. $5-10 bucks to shovel a walk way was a lot of money to a kid in the 80s

    Once ice is thick, you’re fucked without a lot of manual labor or ice melters. Even if you have a specialized ice chopping tool, it’s really hard to get rid of thick ice unless the sun starts to help. Usually you try to chip pits down to the pavement, so the sun can start to warm that surface...

    When you live in an area of the country where that is a non-issue, it does put into perspective how those sorts of things have to be constructed with that in mind. Like below ground basements. They're pretty much mandatory in the north, but you get surprised that basements aren't universal...

    People really do underestimate how a car drives in snow if they aren’t used to it. One reason why I always get manual transmission, snow driving is far far easier when you have more direct control over shifting and being able to quickly put into neutral

    Most times when blackouts are happening during ice/snow storms, it’s because a tree fell on a line somewhere or some jackass crashed into a pole, not because of power generation issues.

    Oversimplification. Our electricity grids are ancient and do a very poor job of load management and power routing during unexpected demand spikes, regardless as to where the power is being sourced from
