You’re completely right. It sounds from the article like they flailed around a lot trying to figure out what that could be before settling for “do what you know.”
A huge amount of time and energy wasted without a clear vision, and then they fell into the trap of trying to chase the success of other games.
Well Rhode Island is famously tiny so I doubt it’s a problem
“Five had gunshot wounds to the head and at least four were shot from both back and front. According to the UNHRC report, six of the people on the flotilla showed signs of ‘summary execution,’, including two shot after they were severely injured.”

You didn’t know that cuttlefish can derive non-trivial solutions of the Einstein field equations? They can solve all ten at once because they have ten brains.
How long will it take them to realize they’d be so much happier with something more down-to-earth? A real bot-next-door. Local, if you will.
Horse hair is very much a thing and used for insulation. I lived in an apartment in Boston built in the 1890s that had horse-hair insulation.
I do think it’s from the mane and tail and not the fine fur of the body. But that would just be an assumption.
It’s not my fault. It just flails around like a garden hose and even with both hands I simply don’t have the strength to wrangle that python.
Literally called my bank right after seeing this post and they waived it on the spot. The official contract provision was not until 80% LTV but this was excellent advice!
Thanks, OP. I’ll raise a glass to you when I spend my extra $75/mo!
Their point is that it’s redundant. You could say ex-WoW developer, you could say WoW vet, but you don’t need both.
There was an interesting NatGeo article recently about something similar - the links between hypermobility, GI issues, long COVID and long COVID-like illnesses like MECFS, MCAS, etc. The links you provided are really fascinating and suggest maybe even a larger clustering of symptoms unified in a single genetic process.
Also seems inconsistent with Microsoft’s trend of increasing bloat with every release.
I’m on Windows 10 indefinitely and I’m not “upgrading” either for FFVII.
You’re also getting ripped off because the restaurant owner is going to put a markup on the same exact product you could have gotten directly from the original restaurant.
I used to DM quite a bit, though I’ve been a player in my last two campaigns! But I also like watching things like D20 and I read a fair bit of fantasy as well.
I did figure out how to deal with them, and I am awash in tungsten! Now I’m shipping tungsten plates back to support my artillery aspirations.
I luckily am stuck on Vulcanus until I can figure out how to kill these worms and get to the tungsten ore, and there’s no way I can travel back to the Forgotten Realms until my rocket is fueled.
You fail the saving throw. The curse takes hold of you, the Bane of Thorny Improbability, which damns its bearer to be eternally plagued by probability and combinatorics conundra in their adventures.
You know that you possess an antidote to stave off the worst effects of the curse, but you have three unlabeled flasks at your belt, all of which have an equal probability of being the cure. You choose a flask at random, but as you seek to dislodge it, one of the other flasks falls to the earth and shatters. The liquid eats through the rock of the cavern, giving off acrid smoke, and you recognize that the fallen vial was a deadly poison, not the cure.
Knowing that the second flask did not contain the cure, do you have a better chance of salvation by drinking the flask you originally chose, or switching to the remaining unfallen flask?
Redundancy is one tell, for sure. But another sign of AI slop is writing like this:
“While STALKER 2 can be a compelling experience even with inconsistent performance and a multitude of bugs, the continued presence of these problems could hinder the game’s chances at success.”
It reads like a middle school essay. Words for the sake of words, that don’t really mean or convey anything. Baby’s first thesaurus.
The second you let fly the arrow, you feel the burning in your fingers. The world around you fades as you look down in horror at the crimson thorns that dance on the surface of your hand. You hardly notice that the arrow met its mark - the goblin falls to the ground, pierced deep through its eye - as you, too, fall to your knees. You bellow in pain, the howling echoing through the cavern as the magical vine constricts, the thorns piercing into your flesh.
Roll for wisdom.
NYT sucks and I canceled my subscription, but the third archive link on removepaywall.com still works to get around their robot messages and puzzles.
