Yeah the ceo of my company did this to then use the books as swag at tradeshows and meetings

Amateurs.

They should just reset in a dry room temperature environment in a day or so?

What you’ve described is what happens here in Georgia.

But we can only buy beer and wine in a supermarket, liquor, spirits etc have to be bought in a separate location, and you can’t buy alcohol before noon on Sundays.

All of which is that classic small government freedom you expect from a red state.

Anti immigration politicians straight up lie, and when called out on their lies lie some more.

I mean it politely, but your explanation was, in my opinion, factually and culturally inaccurate. There were plenty of well-written stories with good voice acting in video games prior to The Last of Us.

Then you said you didn’t understand the relevance of my comment. And then you said you didn’t understand how my examples of earlier games contradicted your point about the Last of Us being the first good story-based game and suggested, inaccurately, that I had said “not much” - which I hadn’t.

Then you said that because I had given counterexamples that doesn’t mean that you were wrong because you had used uncountable modifiers on your adjectives - which, while technically true, is why I chose to say this isn’t a court of law and while there are a bunch of modifiers in your post, whether you intended to or not, regardless of how granular you want to get over sentence composition, clearly reads that your original opinion was that you consider 2013 to be the time when game makers started making games about story instead of your choice of similie about pornography. I did and still do disagree.

But I do mean all of the above politely.

you said not much, and this is a conversation not a contract negotiation in a court of law

1. When I have a thought I don’t want, i hum a little tune

2. When I feel bad about something happening right now I remind myself that no feeling is forever, everything is temporary, there’s always a tomorrow

3. When I feel bad about something that happened in the past I remind myself that happened to me, that I transcended it, and it doesn’t define me, but allowed me to make better choices in future

4. I swapped alcohol and soda for seltzer

You said

It’s good historically. Publishers and developers didn’t really care much about story in their games before then (2013). “Video Game story” was often horribly bad, like porn acting; but more often it was just forgettable. Like mandatory lubricant to keep the gameplay going, rather than a feature to make good.

[…]

After The Last of Us, publishers suddenly realised that people actually really like it when their videogames have good stories, that make sense narratively, have twists, low plot holes, emotional investment and climax, etc. Now we have even better stories […]

My reply gives counter-examples

Half Life (1998) was considered revolutionary for putting all its cut scenes in game and you had to press E to listen to characters.

Final Fantasy 6 (1994) and 7 (1997) were considered masterpieces of storytelling

Myst was 1993

Sid Meier was making story based games in the mid 80s.

There should be inalienable rights when part of a society and access to food and water should be part of it.

I find the idea of company loyalty so fucking funny, especially as even as far back as 1980 the Dolly Parton movie 9-to-5 was satirizing how the concept was dead (even for the bad guys).

My company of roughly 25 people has seen 100 people come and go in 2 years. Offer vested pensions, locked in severence, workers comp, mat/pat leave, separate sick and PTO leave, abandon right-to-work and implement wellness programmes and watch company loyalty massively spike.

It’s something you can do, whether the AI will do it is another matter

#No.

Practically, and you’re just going to have to trust my personal experience on this - then you get the dry windshield wipers scraping across a windshield in 102° heat.

I just did in the previous reply? When the inside of the car is colder than the outside, the glass gets cooled and the condensation forms on the warm, outer side of the glass as water condenses out of the warm air from its gaseous form into its liquid form through a cooling process.

I have no idea what you’re trying to imply. It seems like you’re trying to make some kind of point but I cannot fathom what it is you’re getting at.

Warm air holds more moisture than cold. The side with warm air will take the condensation.

Yeah, I mean I’m in the south it happens a lot to me here
