Steam Summer Sale - Top Deals
  • The audio in this game really seals the deal. You're just swimming along collecting resources and hear a terrifying roar. But you look around and can't see where it came from... Do you keep going or nope the fuck outta there and go take a breather in your life pod for 20 mins while your heart rate comes back down?

  • Being able to build vertically makes it a very different experience. Using a hyper tube chain to yeet yourself all the way across the map is chef's kiss.

    The blueprints are helpful for mid to late game when you need to set up dozens of the same thing. It's not a perfect system, but can definitely be a time saver.

    The combat is totally different. There's no raid/defense mechanism. The mobs have a fixed spawn point. They'll stop respawning once you start building around that point. Once you learn the appropriate attack/dodge maneuver for each type, they're barely even a nuisance to kill.

  • The Supreme Court strips the SEC of a critical enforcement tool in fraud cases
  • Because administrative penalties are a thing. Your right to a jury trial only applies to crimes, and not everything is a crime. SCOTUS effectively ruled that if something could be a crime, even if you're not being charged with a crime, the government can't issue a non-criminal fine for it instead.

  • Religious leader wants to display Indian scriptures in Louisiana public classrooms
  • 4 is essentially paraphrasing Voltaire. Belief that offending someone is a violation of their rights leads to authoritarianism and censorship. 4 says you can be a dick; 1 says you really shouldn't be and 6 says you should apologize when you are.

  • Anon meets his gf's parents
  • My FIL did a gun cleaning night when I was first taking his daughter out on dates. Had 3 guns disassembled on the kitchen table and let me know they'd be reassembled by the time I brought her home. He's a really nice guy, but yes, that shit is "normal" in the US

  • Economics
  • The TI-89 was ~$100 when I bought one 20 years ago. Looked it up on Amazon and they're $100-$150 depending on the specific model. They haven't kept up with inflation at all, which means they've been getting cheaper this whole time...

  • Coconuts 🥥
  • This is nonsense. Coconuts were spread by humans.

    Such an origin indicates that the coconuts were not introduced naturally, such as by sea currents. The researchers concluded that it was brought by early Austronesian sailors to the Americas from at least 2,250 BP, and may be proof of pre-Columbian contact between Austronesian cultures and South American cultures.

  • GOP Congressman Says 'Millions Of Marijuana Users' Own Guns And Shouldn't Face Prosecution Like Hunter Biden Did
  • They don't campaign on fair and universal rules; they campaign on authoritarianism to enforce the rules only against those they don't like. I've already seen conspiracy theories being floated that Biden prosecuted his own son to make it look like the Trump trials are legitimate. They'll make up anything to fit the narrative.
