Oh I completely misread your earlier comment lol. They sound good though! I've heard great things about ULTRAKILL too
Not heard of that one! I can't seem to find it online - unless is the game called Virtuaverse and Master Boot Record did the music?
At what point do you become a sailboat?
It doesn't seem like this post was meant to be hyperbolic though? Hyperbole doesn't work well in the context of numbers. If someone said 1 in 100 people drive a Toyota, how would I differentiate that from being an actual figure or hyperbole? It's not obvious unless you look into it. Likewise, if someone told me that 1 in 400 people in the US get shot every day I'd struggle to tell if that's true or not, given how much I hear about gun crime over there.
This post is quite clearly framed in a way that sounds like fact.
Yeah I guess that's my take on 'gamifying things', but there's probably a few different ways to do it. I've heard that in psychology, rewards are a lot more effective than punishments - so maybe frame it slightly differently. Personally I wouldn't base things on how well you do in the game, because that could get frustrating - in the worst scenario you'll already be annoyed at doing poorly in the game, and that's followed by having to do more work. Instead I'd spin it, so if you do all the tidying reward yourself with an hour of gaming. If you get all your chores done, you get 2 hours of gaming etc.
Thanks for explaining this. So were there many Roman citizens in Britannia, or was it a pretty small ratio of Romans to locals? Did the Roman soldiers give commands to the local elites, who would then tell the locals what to do? And would you say that life changed much for the locals under the new rule?
I'm from the UK and someone has already given some good suggestions. So instead I'll recommend some French authors that I really love:
Alexander Dumas - if you want a great adventure. I can't recommend the The Count of Monte Cristo enough. It's an epic tale of revenge. Victor Hugo - for something that will make you question your morals. Les Misérables is a classic and has some incredible moral dilemmas. Jules Verne - Fun stories of early science fiction. 20 thousand leagues under the sea is an enjoyable journey with a surprising amount of science.
As far as I'm aware the leader was alone in that opinion. Not only did the army use live ammunition, they used a kind that caused maximum damage. Completely unjustified - and on student protestors - not terrorists.
Wow! I mean, if it works okay and you're happy to clean it then $40 is good.
I remember the inside of my PS4 being a bit of dust trap. The fan was much quieter after I gave it a good clean - but it was never as bad as your photo :o
I've played bursts of Hades throughout the day, and that'll probably continue during the week. I'd been neglecting it for a while but it feels like it's suddenly clicked and I've now made it to the final area/boss. So close! It's also a great one to play during work breaks on the Steam Deck.
Besides that, TOTK has been a fun one to dip into a little bit each day. I love going in with an objective in mind, then getting distracted for an hour on something completely unrelated (mostly blowing myself up by mistake or accidentally sending koroks to their deaths).
I hadn't heard of that brand before. Is it possible to tell the difference between their bricks and Lego bricks?
