Seriously though, who puts the "Yes" option on the right?

Yeah this is the sort of stupid mistake that really should get caught pretty much immediately during the first pass of UI testing. God knows what other UI weirdness they've got going on there if they can't catch something as irritating as putting "yes/no" options in the wrong order.

To understand this point of view you have to start under the assumption that you will be able to do everything you ever dreamed about.

Last time they tried Pizza Hut somehow hosed up,delivery so if you went and picked it up that would be preferred

What are the exact terms of the challenge ? Do we have a time limit or can we splice the box over 4 meals ? Can we enter as a group of four ? Are Canadians allowed to participate even if the box content is different from the US one ? (ours has wings in it)

Also i got gifted Star Nomad 2 on steam and tried it.

All the basics of a good 2D spase sim are there but the progression and the dogfight mechanics need some serious polishing. They did good work on the background art. Its excellent for the sci-fi ambiance.

Final verdict : Its bad. 4/10

Dear Star Nomad 2 dev : Why the hell you have us grind on 4 different type of currency you assfucks ? This is not a cheap freemium MMO. Money or maybe money + reputation is enough. Not money + rep + mineral type 1 + mineral type 2.

Instead of being boring and too easy in the end game it should be boring and too easy from the start.

I mean, it's only boring if you are unable to make your own game in your mind but then CIG can't be blamed for that.

The mocap equipment is going to add at least another 100 lbs on Lesnick, but adding weight to Lesnick is like a cat lady gaining more cats - at a certain point, the amount of weight/cats becomes irrelevant.

Sadly i will have to pass that challenge . No way i can down that much food, even with a 12h fast before and a 2 hour step workout after. I might manage the 2 mediums (they put so little toppings its almost like eating bread) but that giant cookie (probably just fat held together by a little flour) would be the death of me.


Could we get something like a "Half Marathon" category of a single medium + wings or a medium + half the cookie ?

Its not as much as the vloume of food, its that its frigging Pizza Hut fat, flour ,cheap cheese and tomato sugar sauce bonanza. I could probably down 2 medium pie from a quality italian with a big helping of Tiramisu and be fine after a long walk but with Pizza Hut cheap ingredients there are just so much fats.

Looking at the nutrition info, each medium pie of that box is like eating a whole 4oz butter stick.

I'm no granola health nut, but that must be somewhat harmful for the tubes..

No, because that's just getting free pizza from a goon and eating it. One medium, some wings and half a cookie is a big meal, but nothing out of the ordinary for a big takeout night.

it's only a challenge if it's an *insane* amount of food to eat in one sitting.

I used to work at a pizza hut in the kitchen and prep room. It was a while back (15 years or so), but at the time at least when I was prepping the pan dough we'd squirt a big blob of vegetable oil into each pan before adding the frozen dough puck and putting it in the proofer to expand and rise.

Small would get one squirt, medium two, large three. Each squirt was 15ml, about 14 grams of pure fat, so a large pan pizza had 42 grams of oil in the dish BEFORE you take account of the cheese, toppings or dough.

What I'm saying is, if you order this, go for the thin and crispy, those didn't get any oil at all.

Very subversive poo poo as you can see. Seems that they've reached the goon quota and aren't allowing any more in. Don't want too many dissonant voices in the eco chamber, ruins the whole effect.

You are not shadowbanned. You can only be shadow-banned by Reddit admins. You were probably just banned from that Sub-Red, but not Reddit.

Yeah, I'm trying to understand this sentence, but I keep drawing a mental blank. Are there actually games where female characters have advantages over male ones? This sounds like some mythical feminist video game that doesn't actually exist.

(Also source your quotes.)

In Crusader Kings II an attractive female ruler will give you insane levels of diplomacy magic (note, I meant to type diplomatic, but messed up, spell correct improved on this)
https://m.reddit.com/r/CrusaderKings/comments/1dh6bv/tip_the_power_of_beautiful_women/

Similarly in the fallout games there's usually a perk that gives advantages when dealing with the opposite sex 'Black Widow' is more powerful then the male counterpart because most enemies are male.

And of course Mass Effect where the advantage is listening to a better actor.

In Kerbal space program the starting female 'Valentina Kerman' has better stats than any of the males, but these just controls the facial expressions and doesn't confer any real advantage.
