No, I think they're being literal. There is value that they want in your privacy.

But a professional photographer taking a staged picture should know how to frame the shot so that the shadows work in your favor.

I had a friend that would play stuff like that over his mic. Load up a juicy YouTube video with lots of drama and let everyone in the lobby think it was real. Especially if he went AFK.

The worst thing a video game can do is be boring. Buggy games can be fun as you laugh at the absurdity of the physics. That was honestly one of the reasons I stuck with fallout 3, because I loved that you could turn someone supersonic with enough landmines. Even if the game crashes and you lose progress, you can't lose the fun you had playing the game.

I recently replayed fallout 3 after starfield failed to scratch my Bethesda itch, and I realized how much more alive the world felt (and how much less often I saw a loading screen when doing quests).

Pro tip, your hot water tap probably gets to like 120, you can mix it with cold to get 100-103 pretty easily.

Kids are going to be weird and use their imagination. They'll pretend to be an NFL player breaking tackles as they run through a crowded school hallway. They'll pretend to be Optimus Prime and pretend to transform into a truck. Or they'll pretend to be iron man blasting bad guys with their lazer palms.

The issue is when your friends have aged out of that behavior and you think it's still cool to Naruto run up to them all the time.

Kinda glosses over how these perks add a couple dozen extra dialogue options, many of which are unique ways to solve a problem.

Honestly my favorite type of rpg "perk", one that gives a slight gameplay boost but also affects the story and/or dialogue in a meaningful way.

Having 25% more "luck" is cool and all, but I'd choose a perk that gave me 5% more luck and more ways to solve problems any day of the week.

It's one of the reasons I loved Prey. It seemed like every perk you got added new ways to get around, dialogue, and/or new combat techniques.

Ehh really depends on your boss. And honestly it depends on you also. If either of you can't separate work from personal time then you really shouldn't be hanging out. But for most of the bosses I've had, some lighthearted social time outside of work was perfectly fine.

Congratulations on learning that words have no intrinsic meaning, and the dictionary is constantly changing. Prescriptive linguistics is a hopeless battle.

Stories I've heard in the last year from my friends and co-workers:

  • Bragging about how they got 5 hours of sleep last night because their newborn finally slept until 6am

  • A "funny" story about how their 5 year old managed to get a hold of some chewing gum and got it stuck in their hair and all over a rug

  • A potty training "success" story about how their toddler remembered to pull down their pants, but remembered mid shit they should have sat on the toilet, so they shat all over the bathroom.

  • They found a juice box their kid bit a hole into and then tucked under their car seat... By smelling it rotting

Trojan just needs to get a group of parents together to tell stories about their kids and paste them word for word on the back of their boxes.

I love Japanese architecture and Japanese food. And I've watched my fair share of anime and read my fair share of manga.

Anyone who doesn't know how terrible Japanese culture is to outsiders needs to educate themselves, there's a reason they sided with Hitler. That culture never really went away like it did for Germany. Talk to an actual Japanese person, who went to school in Japan and see how much they know about their war crimes, and then talk to a German.
