I’m confused why you’re confused? Their position is just don’t vet the games. That’s what they’re saying. It doesn’t presume some “magical way to tell the difference”. You just don’t check the games.

Now, this part is just my interpretation, but I believe they’re operating on a “caveat emptor” methodology. They shouldn’t let malware through obviously, but they might believe it’s on the purchaser to not buy games that look like slop.

I don’t think there’s a Link above the age of 17 in any game. Unless you count the undead one from Twilight Princess.

Presumably, the state stops kicking up the federal government’s share. And hopefully stops collecting it from state residents during tax season, instead of just pocketing it.

Edit: it’s probably obvious but this comment is made without any knowledge about how taxes are collected and funneled through government.

The book gives you examples of how DCs should translates to the world. Is this vaulting a head high wall, climbing a crumbling 2-story building, or scaling the outside of a tower in a storm? That need to know the number is only a problem when the table lets numbers replace story.

“You back up to get a running start and trip on a misplaced cobblestone just before you reach the wall.” = you rolled a 2 and failed

“You latch into the crevices between bricks and skillfully clamber up until the window is within sight. There is only a one, last leap to make, when the brick beneath your anchor leg crumbles and gives way. You landed winded, but someone else might now chart a better route.” = you rolled an 18 and only just failed

“You built as much speed as you could and manage to launch up against the rain-slick tower but your fingers fail to find any purchase, and you scrabble helplessly back to the ground.” = You rolled a 19 and weren’t even close to a success

Yeah, people that want to be their D&D characters are probably skewed by happy memories of a world that might occassionally challenge them but ultimately wants them to enjoy themselves and be the hero/protagonist.

That is to say, a fantasy world.

Think the bear only has one head. It’s Cali

Golf.

But the context of the Game of Throne quote is diminishing.

It might seem like I’m trying to make you out as a bad person; I apologize because that’s not my intention. That comment was just the latest one I saw using it and it stood out even more because I didn’t get the sense that you were trying to be rude.

Beyond how dreadfully overused it’s become, I think people should acknowledge how explicitly patronizing the phrase “you sweet summer child” is. If you’re not actively trying to demean someone, it’s strange to essentially tell someone “it’s cute how naive you are.” If you were trying to demean the other person, then that’s a different issue but I’m assuming you aren’t that type of person.

I decided to leave a comment instead of passively downvoting.

I think we should see what it’s priced at before we start making proclamations about the Steam Machine being the “standard gaming PC”.

Yeah, I don’t know why this would translate to mental illness?

Yeah, Boromir was tempted by the ring just by proximity. Nevermind, how a person plans to make a chicken cooperate with heading into a blasted hellscape and up a volcano.

If that’s the “plan”, the smarter version is to just drag it in a bag behind you.

We got to get inside the building right when they set it on fire

Yo, her waist is so snatched…

Like someone actually took off with 80% of it.

That advice stands in opposition to my lifestyle: living in four-day batches.

History will prove I was correct…

I’ve set up a cognitohazard in my bank account. Anyone who looks into it is disassembled into their component parts and sold off to appease my rampaging bank fees.

This is what happens when money can purchase politics.

I feel like aiding war criminals in deleting evidence should get your company destroyed.

Maybe not all of Alphabet unless we can prove this was an initiative started from the top, but Youtube should be diassembled for one-sidedly purging evidence. Hopefully, those accounts kept offline copies.

This really got me. Like you’re a bystander watching someone fuck up a Pokémon battle.

Doesn’t matter, everybody’s gay[…]

And just like that, we’ve returned to the 2000s.
