My problem with all of them is that they have the same big group of players that kinda reduces personality diversity in it.
But yeah they require a ridiculous time dump.
Plus I don't want to think about Optimus-chan.
*shudder*

Not a girl that turns into a truck. A girl that summons trucks to hit things with.

But whatever. I have enough games as-is

Spoiler: I could not resist the mental image (click to show/hide)

Call me cynical and whatever, but a book that is "the word of God" as written and edited by man over thousands of years and countless languages will have some error, author/translator bias, etc etc etc. Can't get involved with their debate, cuz we all know what happens when you argue with Christians about their faith.

As a Christian, this is true and the reason I take any old testament stuff (And even some of the new testament stuff) worth a pillar of salt. I think it's true for the most part , but saying it's immutably God's Word is pretty ignorant. Seriously: Just read Song of Solomon and tell me God said that.

And yeah, I don't bring this up around someone unless I can trust them to be reasonable. Just don't assume that all Christians are like that. It's mostly the ones who don't want to hear anything other than an echo of their own opinions.

I'd be honest; I'd reckon throughout most of the old testament God's pretty monstrous, with the whole mass-killing, allowing rape and slavery, and all that stuff. It... isn't nice, the God in the bible.

But that's a debate for a different topic, I would say.

[10ebbor10]

It's always a debate for another topic.

1. I was making apple pie for a social gathering with my sister's fiancé, and the smell of nutmeg and cinnamon made me homesick, but not for anywhere in particular, and I have no real memories involving apple pie.

2. At this gathering, I met the person who used to be my history teacher, who is now engaged to my sister's fiancé's brother.

3. Fully three quarters of the people there were married or engaged, and only one quarter were over thirty.

And around half+ of them will probably get a divorce later in life.

Wasn't teh number closer to 75% ?

[LordSlowpoke]

Wasn't teh number closer to 75% ?

nah, might've been true in the past though

what's fucking hilarious is that while there are less divorces (around 50% of marriages end with them, huzzah) they tend to be more of a shitstorm than when they were a more common practice when they do happen

if someone lubricates the slope we're going to end up with that one unhappily married couple that sparked world war 3 over child custody

[Mephansteras]

There is also the balance that some people just suck at marriage and end up getting married and divorced multiple times, while a lot of people only marry once. So 50% of marriages ending in divorce doesn't mean that any given marriage has a 50% chance of ending in divorce.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Yeah, I think it's somewhere between "50% of all people divorce constantly" and "every person has a 50% chance to divorce once." I was talking with a friend who was describing her nephew's social circle: everyone is divorced or separated and/or saddled with a couple kids. The nephew is single and just becoming an adult but his generational cohort has been ridden hard and put away wet. Needless to say his prospects for the traditional "meet a girl, have one or more babies who share both of your sets of genes, and raise them together" are pretty bleak.

Then again I remember a paternity study done in a few major cities' hospitals at the same time, in America and England, that suggested a high percentage of births were not fathered by the dude the mother brought in with her as the father. I'll have to go looking for it again. Basically ignore family trees because we modern humans like to stir up the gene pool and there's no reason to think the past was any different.

Hang on. If dolphins are Xantalos's closest relatives, and Species ALRE is a Xantalos's closest relatives simulator...

OH MY FACE THEY'RE EVOLVING

Wait who said dolphins are my relatives?

[LeoLeonardoIII]

I think it came up a while ago.

[Eotyrannus]

It was BREAKING NEWS!

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Yes the most breaking of newses.

[Helgoland]

News so breaking, had it continued to break, it would have broken the forum software.
In the form of a quote pyramid, but still.
