I suppose it depends on if you can write a fun story around either one. Since every rule about vampires that sticks basically only has one thing in common, the writing in which it was featured was popular. If what you write around it isn't very good, then no, I guess retroactively that isn't how vampires work. But if it becomes popular and part of peoples canon in the future, then yes, that is exactly how vampires work, now.

Isn't that the entire reason behind the rule, so that they could write a way for the vampires to circumvent it. They established a fake rule that never used to exist and then proceeded to prop it up over and over until the reader believed it to be law, and then when they least expected it, it was dashed to pieces in an instant.

Of course it's cheating, but cheating at what exactly? Cheating at a rule that never even used to exist, was written specifically to later be broken in that very same book. It's like any puzzle design in writing, like murder mystery, they usually create the puzzle backwards by thinking of fun solutions to problems they could then create to lead there.

They must be really lucky at picking their stocks.

Don't interchange your snot and your pus, they do very different tasks.

Earthbound, gotta play that at least once in your life.

Chrono trigger, still one of the greatest games of all time.

Final Fantasy 6(US 3) there is debate, but widely regarded as the best one overall still. 7 is the other strongest contender, but if you are gonna play that one, don't play the retro one, as one of the very first polygonal games, it's hard to look at now.

Zelda (3), a link to the past.

There are certainly more, but those'll last you a few months.

Edit: Suppose I can't really get by without saying Rock n' Roll Racing.

I'm Autustic and don't seem to have anger. "Frustrated" is similar, I got that one just fine, but anger doesn't seem to come up. I don't seem to have a bunch of them, though. So, I have definitely noticed the same thing. The internet is so full of anger, and it mostly just seems to serve to temporarily compromise the intellect of the person feeling it, so it makes them sound dumber at a time when they probably wish they were coming across as clever.

Dumber, but also more sure of themselves. There is a reason people usually come back half an hour later and apologize for what they did when they were angry. It does have its uses, but open communication can also preclude it. For people who don't tend to communicate freely, anger can help them finally say something they haven't been saying. And quite a few people seem to work that way. Finally saying the thing they haven't been saying can lead to solutions for their problem.

But anger can also lead to some pretty dumb things, and that seems to be the more common result.

I have yet to get anything else to look or run as nice as virtual desktop, even stuff that lets you use higher bitrate just ends up bogging down the headsets decoder and not looking better while also having worse latency.

With VD I get a nice looking game at or below 30ms total latency.

And when I play from my computer while at my brother's or friends houses, it's 36ms or less latency, but otherwise looks the same.

And of course, when using the actual desktop mode instead of playing VR games, it's an even bigger leap over the other options. Like <6ms latency, <12ms from other peoples houses. And two 4k 120hz screens, that actually look 4k, despite only having enough physical pixels to support 1440p at the 80 degree fov I have my monitors take up. But since every frame renders a slightly different set of pixels, you basically get a free sort of temporal anti-aliasing that effectively up-scales the resolution of the screen enough to see all the detail the real 4k screen is showing. Not every frame, but enough that your brain sees it anyway.

I'm not sure I like milk as an analogy to torrenting, as a healthy torrent has the users uploading too...

Not to mention, the quality of the meat also dropped off since covid and still has not recovered. Though that might not be an everywhere problem. Our stores used to stock Alberta Beef, and now they sell us US stuff. Separately, the ground beef still has all the connective tissues in it, they used to remove them. Now we either have to do it ourselves or pick it out of our teeth after an uncomfortable meal.

Hehe, yeah. I think for me, it mostly comes down to the bacon. I can think of reasons why everything else would change. But any story I can come up with for why all the bacon pieces are completely different from the first one is less likely than if these are two separate meat babies. Ultimately, obviously, it doesn't matter either way. But I think it's more likely they are two separate babies from different times. Rather than that something happened to the first bacon diaper that necessetated throwing it out and making an entirely different one out of new pieces of bacon.

It probably should have A name though... been going on real long just being called "the collection of states on this continent".

They don't hurt as much as you would expect. They are generally as light as possible and spinning with very little torque for energy efficiency. So even at max speed, it hurts less than bonking your head on something solid at walking speed, which is much more common. I am only 6' 4", you don't have to be as tall as you would think to "get to" experience this.

Indeed.

Specifically, the way the arms and legs changed doesn't make sense for just meat shrink. And the diaper is completely different strips of bacon. Not only wrapped differently, but not contaning any of the same pieces of bacon even in different positions.

Must have done it twice, cuz those are completely different meat babies. Even accounting for the meat shrinking and changing a bit as it cooked, the result shot is not the actual result of the before shot. Not that it really matters... just noticed it and wanted to share, lol.

Yeah, and those genius scientists expect us to believe that just being near certain rocks can hurt you... but being near certain crystals can't heal you? I mean, come on, that's practically the same thing. It even loosely follows some science words I heard one time: something about "equal but opposite reaction", probably totally fits. I'mma do a blog post.

/s of course. But I went on long enough I feel like it could easily have gotten lost in there.

Haha, he's so easy to play, even we can sway the president... man, this is gonna suck.

It was step one, not intended to be the entire end-goal. The goal is to make it obvious that profits aren't the way healthcare should be done, as it is directly at odds with the purpose. Almost every other country in the world has removed profit from healthcare, or never added it in the first place. Even if you want to keep the rest of capitalism, it doesn't go here.

He definitely got the conversation started. He got alot of people to say out loud that "they kind of agree with him". And that is how change happens, when alot of people realise they were already thinking the same thing but didn't want to be the first one to say it. He opened the flood gates.

I kind of do the opposite, I am big as fuck. But that just means they are more likely to see me as scary instead of gentle. Intruders that get scared are much worse than intruders you can talk to. They might get desperate and do something much worse than steal a bit of your stuff.

So before they see me, I let them know that I am very big but not a threat. So it is less of a surprise and more likely to lead to a conversation rather than a confrontation. You can keep my stuff, I just want to keep my life. I can get my stuff back, or new stuff, I only have the one life, and it is irreplaceable to me.

Yeah, can always go back to school when you age out at 25...
