That is a myth. The spherical form is to maximize surface area to volume for shrapnel, ensuring that no matter how it lands. Shrapnel will go in all directions.

I'm not American, but that was fun to watch. I had my popcorn and everything. It felt like I'm watching Cartman debate Wendy or something.

I was in the UK, watching a football game between my country and England in a pub with an English friend. I had a team shirt on. It was a good game, a close game, in the last few minutes we lost and England won.

I Shake some hands and go to the bathroom. I have to shit, go to a stall, and just as I'm about to close someone pushes the door open, forcing themselves in. Life is flashing before My eyes, my entire body shakes from all the adrenaline now pumping, I'm ready to fight or die trying.

He says (drunk off his mind) "YOU STOOD UP DURING YOUR ANTHEM! I RESPECT THAT! GOOD GAME!! GOOD GAME!!" as he reaches to shake my hand and pat my arm, "yeah man good game, sorry but I need to shit mate"

I thought I was about to die, stabbed and beat to death in a toilet. When it was just a drink Britt trying to be nice.

I've never been so happy that my country lost a game as that night (Mt shirt also bought me a lot of beers, felt like I needed them after thinking I was about to die)

And this is why we should be critical to our sources, especially when it's "some guy on the internet".

It's simply not true.

Yes. Oxygen does degrade our bodies. Unfortunately, we also need it to stay alive. Life be like that.

The European mind just cannot comprehend such distances

You can sue someone for anything. If it will be successful or not is another matter.

Essentially she is trying to SLAPP him (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation). Lawyers are not free in civil cases. She is just making it expensive for him if he wants to defend himself. And i doubt Florida has an anti-slapp law.

You would consult the ancient technology of books. And there were these people who's sole job was to direct you towards the books that contained the information you needed.

There were these huge buildings just filled to the brim with different types of books.

Just because the internet has a huge quantity of information doesn't mean the quality has increased.

2 and 3 easy.

Free gravel for life. So I have an endless supply of product I can sell for profit? Yes please.

And I see no time-limit on the teleportation. 7 inches at a time. Sure. But what stops me from instantly teleporting another 7 inches? And who says I can only do it horizontally. Pretty much giving me the ability to fly here. I'll take it.

When will people learn? Seriously. They keep touching fire and act equally surprised every time they get burned.

No Man's Sky. (Great now but holy hell was it a shit show)

Cyberpunk

Diablo IV

Far Cry 6

StarField

And now this latest Assasins Creed: Mirage.

Probably forgetting plenty of recent releases too that just faded into nothingness.

Personally, I'll be starting Batman Arkham Asylum this weekend. Heard it was pretty good. Should keep me busy for a while.

The sad part is that tomorrow they could release "Assasins Creed: Reflection". And people would make the exact same mistake all over.

You know Ubisoft has a shit reputation. You know Bethesda is famous for broken, buggy, glitchy games. You know Blizzard Activision isn't the same as old Blizzard. Don't you guys have phones?

I didn't buy this game. I didn't buy Starfield, and I didn't buy Diablo IV.

Anyone not blinded by hype could see this coming to all those games from a paid pre-alpha deluxe collectors gold season battle pass track booster mile away.

Wait.... does anyone (Except those who paint eyebrows) actually think painted eyebrows look good? I've never met anyone who thinks it looks good on women.

Why are they getting so much attention for it?

Nintendo does the same with BoTW and ToTK. Long dev cycles that releases a functional game without micro-transactions.

FromSoft does the same with most of their games. Where people actually beg them to release DLCs.

But no... it's Larion they seem to go after.

Nintendo is huge. FromSoft has their own cult. But Larion? What's can they blame there? Nothing. Most big studios that bitch about this is larger than Larion. Maybe because they are more scared that if Larion can do it. There's no excuse anymore.
