Previously, people could vote for a new mob each year. It was constantly made fun of because either the mobs people could vote for were so tepid they didn't care or they were all so interesting people were annoyed they couldn't all be added. Couple this with people claiming that the "worst" option was picked after each vote, and that the mob vote replaced what used to be a yearly "biome vote" (which was like the mob vote, but significantly bigger in scale and much more liked by the community), and the mob vote was never especially popular (though it did help the community feel engaged with the game to a greater degree).

Nah; Fallout 3 at least starts in August.

I personally feel Ranma works better as an allegory for trans-male since that's what Ranma always identifies as, but for an anime that old it's still amazing that it exists.

"Apologies, I misspoke. If he's willing to get off on the couch."

There's not much I miss about Reddit, but one of those things is a proper community to put jokes that have been run into the ground. The unnecessary arrow is one thing, but then the second reaction image really kill the otherwise mildly amusing joke.

"Now hold on there; it doesn't say what year that inauguration needs to happen." -exerpt from Supreme Court hearing on F-ck v. You.

I kind of assumed they were getting pay-ed.

Before I decide... do the wolves use Windows?

The Supreme Court call that "compelling"

I did it on my first playthrough (which I understand was really weird). I started Lonesome Road at level 2, and then spent pretty much all the ammo I got taking out the Deathclaws (and even then it took multiple attempts).

I apparently did the DLC in reverse order (starting with Lonesome Road, then Blue Mountain Blues, and then the Sierra Madre), and never met a Ghoul until after finishing the game and backtracking with an older save.

After a crushing electoral defeat in 2018, one senior opposition politician told the Financial Times how he had spent the night in a “humble home” to learn what it was like, proudly showing pictures he had taken on his mobile phone.

“After I returned to Mexico City, it struck me that perhaps my maid lived in a similar sort of home, so I showed her the photos and sure enough it turned out that her home was very similar,” he beamed.

This... this is probably the single most out-of-touch thing I'd ever rich. A rich dude took pictures of a normal house, and then bragged to his maid that he went there.

I can't decide if my disgust is greater than my amusement in knowing there's no way Russia would bother delivering those letters regardless.

Evidently, not your roommate.

Said the parents: "Over my child's dead body!"

The Libertarian mascot is a porcupine? How did I not know about this before now?

I'm pretty sure it's implied that said Fallout 2 kid was talking out of their ass if you had a high enough Intelligence to press them.

I attended BYU-I in person for three years. There was a lot of dumb s### that happened there, but I can say with confidence this wasn't one of them. To not be a buzzkill though, I'll share an actual saying that people use around campus: "BYU I do." Because like 80-90% of students there expect to be married by the time they graduate.

No pickaxe? How are you supposed to upgrade to stone now?

To save people from having to squint at the small text; top chart is measured in seconds, bottom chart is measured in days.

Another video distributed by Russian state news agency RIA showed an inscription in an unidentified book supposedly recovered in the arrest — signed in Russian with the words “signature illegible.”

This whole article is just bonkers.

Does "Lawful" apply here when they're buying politicians to change those laws for them?

"Critical Race Theory"; it's a college-level class about how racism affects the recording of history, but the term has been misappropriated for several years now to mean any acknowledgement of the USA's past (and current) struggles with racism. The Civil War, Jim Crow Laws, and the Civil Rights Movement are all getting lumped together with the term (as well as other major events) and has been used as an umbrella term to restrict schools' abilities to teach those subjects.

So it's too much work to list the fees they're already changing people? Makes perfect sense, just like how grocery stores don't show the price of each item until you're already checking out.

Oh man, I've been seeing signage for this all the time during my commute; this will apparently cut out a whole half hour from it, so I'm glad that it's finally reaching this point.

Unfortunately, it seems most politicians are Ghost types, since it never seems to affect them.

I once challenged myself with building a Wizard that was mute; Catapult was my primary damage-dealing spell (along with some cantrip that let me make a shadowy thing that could hit anything near it).

What if... they both only tell lies? No "one of us" about it, and it would totally mess with players' heads.

Put a stop sign over the current stop sign that says "stop posting "stop posting""

Ex-felons deserve the ability to work. This is someone who hasn't received consequences for their actions refusing to accept responsibility.

I'm really into the swse (Star Wars Saga Edition) system; it's fairly old at this point and been out of print for a decade, but it's talent system and ability to really customize your character has always appealed to me. So much so that I made the Saga Edition Wiki and a Saga Edition Character Generator just to facilitate ease of use.

Pretty sure that Fallout 2 is more a direct follow up to 1 than the other games (isn't there a sidequest that directly explains how Fallout 1 starts?) But other than that, there's only a couple references in 4 about 3 and New Vegas to the originals.

Interesting that Waypoints is both newly created and so close to finishing; most Kickstarters launch for about a month or so, which makes it especially impressive that it took the #2 and #1 spots respectively. I'm also super glad you included a filtered projects section for TTRPGs, because Aether Nexus looks right up my alley and I'm definitely going to look it over now.
