Lived in Japan in the Kanto plain area (out of Tokyo) between 2014 - 2017 and this was always my worst nightmare. Hope as many people got to safety / high ground as possible.

I searched for "counter strike surf" and the first result was about the origin of the idiom "with all the bells and whistles."

Much search engine.

For teens it almost certainly was. The "no phone policy" of many American high schools was implemented long before the iPhone. And yeah, texts may have been 10c each but that wasn't your 10c ;)

I was in 12th grade and I remember my English teacher was weirdly prophetic about it. He told us that it would be the worst pandemic in decades, and this was before the US had its first case. Looking back, he was the only teacher I had who mentioned anything about it

Asimov's Foundation series is pretty solid. Mostly the same main character for a few of them and then it's his relatives / friends for the rest. Lots of "space politics" very similar to Dune but with a little less war and more science adventuring. I especially liked the first book in the series. The prequels are good but not required reading. It's one trilogy with two prequels and two sequels released decades later.

edit: I also strongly recommend "The World at the End of Time," which has a couple narratives intertwined but is mostly about one man who gets cryogenically frozen a couple times. Very adventurous and pretty sad. Lots of speculative future visions in that one.

its baseball park pizza, so you know it was expensive too

Posting poorly written articles seems to be a running theme here on lemmy, I've noticed.

These easily top 10 greatest film soundtracks of all time in my opinion. Maybe even top 5.

Is this the same Tesla plant that has no caution stripes because Elon hates yellow and black? Or the one that violated EPA regulations? Not surprised in the slightest

I got sick of trying to make every avatar I have like me. Even if a game isn't even an RPG I like to mentally roleplay as somebody very different. Having a female avatar helps with that sometimes.

Agree with the varied depictions. I did two playthroughs of cyberpunk (before phantom liberty) and female V says similar lines but in such different tones and much more expressive. I.e. when I pick an aggressive dialogue option it sounds like she's more devious where male V is more of a brute. Stuff like that.

It's the 4th skate game now

Playstation 2 slim and an original PS2 controller. Still runs really smoothly, at least for tech at the time. Disc drive is really cool.

I'm ok with off board stuff. I thought it was fun to do when the points scoring got boring.

I tried one of those and I thought it was way too bland. I think it was Skater XL? Session looks neat but I've heard it's way too hard and I'm not really looking for a challenge

And idk what you mean by "off board mechanics"? Hall of meat or...?

Good

It would help prevent a lot of useless bickering if you could provide sources for your own claims instead of begging others to do the work for you.

I'm not watching or listening to anything with the word sigma in it, sorry.
