The story for this game is pretty fun and memorable. It's a shame the gameplay itself is lacking, there's way too much going on and there's not a great gameplay loop. The open world bits are pretty bad, but were required to unlock useful spells and things for the battles. The battles were ok, but could have benefitted from more focus on making the transition smoother between modes.

Monopolies are not the only thing that governments are supposed to prevent. Anti competitive practices are supposed to be illegal regardless of monopoly status. The same is true of cartel behavior.

Each game has their own little quirks and focuses. From what I remember sc3000 is best to start in a corner. You only get half the pollution from buildings on the edge, which is pretty big in the early game. You also get easier access to trade partners which is a good source of income later. Public transportation is also important, and very expensive, so you need to aggressively maintain a strong budget surplus to keep expanding.

There's also some magic numbers to know as you get more familiar with the game. Airports, farms, ports, and subways all have sizes you need to keep in mind when planning.

Grapes of Wrath is a slight stretch, but it's shear length relative to it's message makes it a very empty book.

I wouldn't say nothing burger, but they've definitely aged poorly.

It's more than that. There's also stalker fantasy and a ridiculously overpowered main character.

It also plausible they don't even need to buy the expensive bits ahead of time. There's a ton of downtime in these shows where they are shooting different scenes. There's likely plenty of time to text a PA that's already in the grocery store to buy the lobster or the filet while the elimination is being shot and next round prep is happening.

This is just small claims court. You can just leave and not pay for a month you aren't there, I wouldn't expect the security deposit back though.

Move out first, then if you don't get the security deposit back, try small claims court. You have to decide if the deposit is worth the fight though. It's around $250 to file and serve your landlord. Assuming you win, there's no enforcement of them paying you. You would need to then take that order to another judge and likely provide details on how to get that money back to get an order that should eventually get that money back.

I agree nachos are generally awful. I still enjoy eating them 1-2 times a year though.

It probably will. Given the modest spec bump and the high even for Nintendo hostility to switch emulation, it's probably trivial to support switch 2 as well.

It depends on the volume you need. A food processor can shred an 8 ounce block in a few seconds. You will spend a bit more time cleaning, but it can save a lot of prep time if you need multiple blocks or lots of vegetables. I used one a lot more when I was meal prepping multiple dishes.

The public domain allows free use of anything in it. It allows people to innovate and expand upon established knowledge without having to pay tribute to original creators or their estates.

Intellectual property was created as a compromise to get people to be more open with their works. It allowed artists and writers to create things without risking their creations copied and losing their livelihood. Similarly inventors were also encouraged to publish how they invented because it granted them a period of exclusive access to controlling that method. In the long term the public benefits by getting access to everything.

All companies are tech companies, those that aren't will be replaced by those that are. It's been a common theme for a decade. I don't really care that some venture capitalists lost their easy button to decide where to throw money for massive returns. Investing is supposed to require diligence.

It's my second store, but it's still a distant second to steam.

He probably has a diaper and a catheter. The rules don't let him sit or leave to use the bathroom.

If the Democrats actually wanted to be an opposition party he wouldn't need to be speaking right now. At least some are supporting him.

It still costs more if you have significant scraps as that product is essentially processed twice. Even a half cent of extra cost per thousand bars gets significant.

The drippings from a turkey breast are pretty much just water. It doesn't have the skin, fat, cartilage and bones that add a lot to a gravy.

Wild boars are an invasive species, they don't have natural predators.
