Honestly, I don't get why anyone would want their timezone not to be a round hour. Surely the extra complexity and increased chances of mistakes isn't worth it? Timezones are bad enough when they're a round number. And as the map shows, many places don't match their geological position, anyway, so it's not like being 15-30 minutes off is a big deal.

I didn't realize till my second playthrough how much better light domain is. It's massively more powerful. You get a great support reaction, more useful channel divinity (massive AoE radiant damage), and a bunch of useful fire spells including fire ball and flame wall. 10/10, would respec again.
Casters often feel at a massive disadvantage for casual fights. For a boss fight, casters are often the strongest, since you'll blow all your spell slots. But for smaller fights, you want to preserve your spell slots and cantrips simply cannot keep up with martials. I mean, a single attack roll for a spell cantrip vs getting 2-3 attack roles that also do more damage total? Heck, my strongest martials can usually do at least double the damage of a spell caster's cantrips.
Though at the same time, when I can blow the spell slot, no martial can outdo the AoE damage of reliable ol' fireball or the likes. Just I can't justify using my spell slots on a small number of weak enemies.
Second playthrough, trying out dark urge and being evil. It's really hard, honestly. I've lost half of my beloved companions and slaughted some favourite NPCs. It feels really fucked up. Minthara better be worth it lol.
Despite the fact I tried to be a completionist in my first playthrough, I've still been discovering lots of things I missed. The biggest so far is that there was a massive amount of the creche to explore on the exterior. I missed that before and basically only went into the basement. I also last time missed that there were 2 mythrils, among many other smaller things.
The frustrating thing is they're both being shitty for consumers. It's terrible that they're acquiring these previously cross platform publishers and making them exclusives, but at the same time, this is what Sony has been doing for a while (at best, they very recently have started doing PC releases but with a multi year delay, which I don't really count as truly cross platform).
I think it's a standard case of people suing the one who has money. Stalkers don't have much (if any) money. Apple has much money. It's a dumb lawsuit IMO, but there's generally no penalty for frivolous or misplaced lawsuits (and this is probably on the border where it's dumb but not frivolous).
I think it's because they can see the birds that turbines kill. The birds killed the the pollution fossil fuels cause are hard to notice and especially hard to link to the cause of death. When there's dead birds around a turbine, it's more obvious.
People don't look at numbers. They're driven by emotions, which favour what they can easily see and wrap their heads around. Or alternatively, what they are most scared of. Eg, nuclear power is far safer and less radioactive than coal. But that doesn't matter. People are afraid of nuclear because of past incidents they heard about. The way coal kills people is so much harder to notice than a dramatic HBO series.
All websites where you can post comments and all multiplayer video games are social media to some degree. And would become so to an even more degree if you ever somehow magically banned kids from more mainstream sites (which is a comical pipe dream that might actually make the sites more appealing).
So basically, they're proposing the internet be blocked for minors. No, they don't actually mean that. You see, they want the sites they dislike to be blocked. Like Facebook. But not the things they use like Lemmy. You see, they're better than you, so the things they like are okay. It's just the things you like that are dumb and harmful.
Yeah, the only difference from the violent video games thing is that people on sites like this one hate tik tok (or any other social media except the one they use) and like video games.
Like, what, they made their app too entertaining? That comment about their sibling spending all day on tik tok is exactly what many people do with video games. But I bet if you say "we're gonna ban any video game that's too fun because you'll play them all day", then all the tik tok haters will be like "but that's different!"
I don't understand. Itemized medical bill? Do they make you pay for healthcare in your dream world?
I'm doing an evil playthrough now and finding various things I missed from the first playthrough. But oof, I feel really awful about the horrible things the game lets you do. 😅
Same. Pick one. I don't care which. They both have their pros and cons. Plus, it's an arbitrary number and nothing actually forces people to believe things like "the work day should be 9-5" (though admittedly, changing social norms is difficult).
Saskatchewan has the right idea. Its timezone is a bit weird, but nobody there cares and is just glad to not have to deal with DST. For non Canadians: it's the part of Canada in this map where something that looks like it should be -6 (central time) juts into -7 (mountain time). They don't have DST and it's one of the few things Saskatchewan gets right anymore.
