The dad’s name is Con Kearney which is similar to ‘con Carne’, as in ‘Chili con Carne’. I guess that dish is popular over there?

I think so? I’m not sure if I’ve been to the Fediverse yet, I’m not even entirely sure I’ve been to Lemmy yet, to be honest. I appreciate the well wishes nonetheless. Have a good one

I wish someone would answer you instead of thanking you in advance, I’d like to know too

Same energy as that Kevin James meme

I completely agree with your comment; the idea that a total stranger would assume you play so much Factorio specifically based on just your looks is very funny to me. I imagine an individual just plastered in Factorio paraphernalia.

It’s probably a reference to the “would you still love me if I was a worm?” stuff

I’ve been replaying Link’s Awakening on my phone using a gbc emulator, you could try that. I’ve also just found Winlator so I might start also playing Sam and Max, you might see if those point you in any directions.

I’m not a scientist, but I think the question you’re asking is the question they’re seeking to answer by searching for life in these places. There isn’t an assumption that if it had liquid water it may have had life (that statement alone inherently isn’t an assumption), they are searching for any evidence of life on Mars because A) it’s the closest and easiest planet to get to and B) while we know in what conditions life on Earth arose, we can’t be sure the same conditions are necessary somewhere else, for life that possibly may not be carbon based.

I really appreciate you taking the time to clear that up for me, I see what you mean now. I was never really into scary movies but the kind of movie you’ve described sounds really interesting.

How do you mean “close the circle” in this case? Do you mean the writers of the films were trying to limit the amount of characters involved in the story? I read through the link but I’m not sure I understand what you mean by the “circle” stuff.

You absolutely should, I got an MSX emulator to play MG2 and I loved it. I couldn’t get the english patch to work but I used a translated script page online and just followed along lol

I tried the port that came with MGS3 Subsistance but I didn’t like the changes to the artwork, I prefer Snake to look like Jeff Daniels

The story beats are so similar to MGS1, it’s as if MGS1 is a 3D remaster. I think they kind of referenced that in MGS2 with the S3 Solid Snake Simulation thing.

Virologist beats cancer with one weird trick!!! Scientists HATE her!!!

Don’t have one, lend me yours?

Is that how that works? I’m not trying to be antagonistic or anything, I just heard the opposite is true when it comes to why bridges develop ice sooner than typical roadways do; because the ground holds more heat than the cold air does

A revolution doesn’t have to mean a sort of military coup, what we would have to attack is their sources of capital, the flow of wealth flowing upward. Something like general strikes and mass unionization to put control of capital back into the hands of the working class.

Sure, but you could say the exact same thing about bees. The point of the article is that most people see ‘wasps’ as being all bad, without the nuance that is afforded to bees.

What do you expect? It’s rock hard

You mean the doodle at the bottom?

High pressure sodium bulbs put out orange yellow light that has a low CRI, so anything they illuminate looks orangey yellow

I don’t think you should feel ashamed at all, from your description I feel like we’re very similar lol

I’ve also been trying to be less cautious and more open, and the way I’ve been doing it is to be weird in front of people. Not maliciously, but I want people to have a funny story to tell their friends, and I’m less worried about feeling embarrassed in front of strangers because I’m never gonna see them again. I’m not interested in weed or alcohol at all, and this has been working so far.

Don’t be discouraged, I like the way I am, I bet I’d like the way you are too, so I hope this helps
