Watching Big Hero 6 for the first time. I have seen literally nothing about it except that there's Fall Out Boy in it and there's a robot called Baymax.

It's apparently Disney's cyberpunk film. Not what I was expecting, but then I haven't seen a Pixar/Disney film since Toy Story 3 so I have no idea what direction they've been going in lately.

He died as he lived, coughing up bloody chunks of lead.

Wait.

Oh dear, says Bauglir, as he finishes his morning glass.

Must be some contaminated oats or rice or something. That's unfortunate, although "Sample size of 2" is somewhat unconvincing.

Yeah, I'm reading into it now.  Not too concerned yet.  First impression is it looks like a group of people with a religious attitude towards food trying to knock Soylent down with some legal technicality that isn't really all that meaningful, especially in the bigger picture comparison to other foods.  Looks like lead content might be of some slight concern.  Will continue reading.  I fully expect that the Soylent people will be tackling this issue immediately, and put out another version with reduced lead and cadmium levels, even if the current levels aren't bad.

As far as I can tell, the lead and cadmium amounts for the law they are using are for water.  Not food.  Food tends to have more heavy metals in it than water, but the exposure you get for water is way higher as you cook/wash/drink it.  So the whole amount they are trying to use might not even be applicable since it's a meal, and not a glass of water.

you drink it, but not to the same extent you drink water.... or at least you shouldn't.  That'd probably be a caloric overload and would kill you very, very quickly far more so than the lead would anyhow.

The packaging does say, "Drink lots of water in addition to Soylent, or you will fuck yourself up."

Trying to get into Diablo 2 modding. It requires multiple tools and almost all of the links to downloads I can find are down or lost or not working. The biggest forum for Diablo 2 modding seems to be dead. All these resources made by the modding community years ago and I can't find anything usable.

I'm not really surprised considering the age of Diablo 2 but holy shit it's frustrating. I thought the internet was supposed to be this vast repository of data and knowledge where things from years ago could still be found. But no, links break, server hosts change, data is lost, and it seems communities die out. And, hell, Doom still has an active modding community and it's older than Diablo.

uuuugh, frustrating.

Doom was a lot easier to mod :V

Tried the wayback machine or whatever it is nowadays? Sometimes you can nab stuff from dead sites off that.

Also consider dropping a line in the forum anyway. Sometimes something like that can get someone stopping by out of nostalgia to stop and answer.

Doom might, you know. Have a still active modding community because it was actually a good game. One of my roomates loves diablo 2 but lets be honest, for the most part that genre is just a more in depth clicker game.

They're both good.

Doom and Diablo have completely different styles of gameplay. Doom is a fast paced action game where all that matters is your weapons and aim. Diablo may seem less action based at first glance but it's more strategic, requiring the player to allocate skill points and decide what gear to use if they're to keep progressing through the game. More matters than just weapons and aim.

I wouldn't call Diablo a more indepth clicker game. Yeah, you click a lot and you make numbers go up but you don't pick a class and make a character and make a class build in cookie clicker. It's more about character progression, part of which is making numbers increase by clicking monsters to death. If Diablo is a clicker game then Dungeons and Dragons is a dice rolling game.

What I like most about Diablo and all these other class-based skillpoints-and-stuff rpg games is designing builds for a class that's viable and unique and fun. It's fun to come up with an end game goal and play through the game and see the build work to fruition. Kinda like the appeal of designing a robot or chainsword and working on it and getting all the pieces and making it work. Or thinking of a drawing in your head and drawing it all out.

... cookie clicker doesn't have classes and skill point allocation, no, but many of the other hundreds of clicking/idle games do, yes.
