I'm guessing Lando is flying home on British Airways tonight.

Cyberpunk 2020 TTRPG had a shit ton of source books for outside of Night City and outside America, including space and even one for the very beginnings of deep space exploration in the cyberpunk world... the source material has a lot of legs outside of Night City.

I suppose the argument would be, yes that's fine as long as you only use it in India...? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Again, not saying I agree but it's hard to make a comparison like that I think.

Not approving of any corporate behaviours here, but extracting the maximum price a market will bear has been the basis of pricing and supply/demand since such concepts existed which is at least 250 years.

I allow flying races but I insist they have in their background story a reason why they can't fly right now, and I'll bring it into the story and play later on so the character can do something to regain their flight when they get to the level I've decided they can have flight in this campaign (usually 8-11)

In another study, the Pope was found to be Catholic.

Is anybody really that surprised by this...?

I didn't think Verge was..?

It is in the UK it's prescription only other than a very low dose, in which case it's pharmacy only following consultation with the pharmacist... these are controlled drugs under UK law

This is the route I took, works very well

I'm surprised they think this is useful... if I've paused a video it's because I'm answering the phone or front door, making a coffee, going for a shit etc... I'm almost never going to see these ads 🤷🏻‍♂️

SBM is run by Dr Stephen Novella aka Skeptics Guide to the Universe, these guys are some of the most vocal (and knowledgeable) pro-science anti-quack science communicators around... if there's BS antivacc nonsense floating around, they'll call it out and rip it apart.

Can highly recommend their podcast (the aforementioned Skeptics Guide to the Universe) as well!

Poe's Law still alive and kicking

Thing is how do you differentiate between a bunch of people who genuinely like a product and are happy to say so because it's solved a problem for them that they see other people having, and "subtle spam"?

For instance, I'm a Kagi subscriber and have been for some months now as it's doing a good job for me, and I've had the odd person leap down my throat accusing me of being a corporate shill etc, and I am absolutely not (but that's what a shill would say!!!)

How does anyone get a product recommendation from a product that's genuinely growing in popularity so people are recommending it? I get there needs to be a healthy dose of cynicism but where does the line get drawn to the point where that cynicism is no longer "healthy" and simply means everyone distrusts everything that's made by a company if somebody on the internet says it's good?

Where's the equal cynicism when somebody says something is shit and it could be a corporate shill from a competitor?

It didn't help they hadn't thought it through either... the game was for sale in countries where you can't get PSN 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

But even so they costs the companies involved millions, they wouldn't want to be dragged through one

CD32 was my first CD player, was all cassette for me until then
