Yup.
Econ 101: scarcity = value.
So here's an interesting question. Why do religious people not pick up on that? They just pass it over. It's pretty easy to spot, I think.
Does living until 90 rather than 30 devalue life? Does having access to unlimited clean water make your water worthless? It's a flawed premise.

Depends on whether that afterlife is contingent on the mortal life.
As for people that deny blood transfusions, I think most people agree that it's immoral, but conceivably it's just an order of magnitude smaller than somone terminating life support or abortion.

I'd be immensely pissed off if the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch gets Spoiler ganked by a punk-ass little kid.
But presumably the battle they showed last week will take place in some form in Winds of Winter, so I'm not really sure how to explain that timeline.
Um, no. The battle last week already happened in the books.
I don't remember that, where in the books exactly?
Spoiler Cotter Pyke takes several ships at Jon's command to Hardhome to rescue the Wildlings there. A few weeks later, Jon gets a letter from Cotter saying that the Wildlings are eating their own dead and dying, and that there are "dead things in the water."
I'm talking about an actual battle that will presumably take place in the books.

I don't see a particularly compelling reason to leave him mentally impaired.

That would just make science a branch of philosophy, because it has to accept empiricism by default
Which is obviously playing semantics.
All philosophy is semantics.

I honestly don't see much hope of humanity ever colonizing other planets, but I still think space travel is the most important technological frontier of our time.

I've almost finished CoK.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Spoiler Empiricism is metaphysics disguised as science.

Blackout or unconsciousness is the line of demarcation. If you're intoxicated and consent, and later regret it, that sucks and there may be consequences, but that seems like what adulthood is. Of course it can be dependent on the situation, but in general, drunkenness is a poor cause for rape claims.

I wish the new consoles were backwards compatible so that we didn't have cash grab collections like these.
Isn't this remastered and optimized? I agree that backwards compatibility is hard to lose, but this seems like a pretty nice compromise.

Some are just more honest about it.

I don't want to sound mean, cuz the trailer is cool, but could someone actually explain to me how Fallout is appealing? I want to get into it. I REALLY want to, but I just can't really do it and I want a reason to play it.
The modern ones, I assume? Decent shooter mechanics with the fun addition of limb damage and a sort of turn-based strategy where you can freeze events for a period of time to aim or set up a set of shots, similar to Red Dead Redemption. It has a really unique environment and atmosphere, as well as a compelling backstory.
I don't like the gunplay, is the thing. I have about 9~ hours in Fallout 3 and I just...couldn't get into it. That's over a few saves, too.
Is there a mod to remove guns? >_>
It's an FPS. If you don't like shooters, or it's particular style, you're not going to like Fallout.

Now let me be serious, because that leaves an ill taste in my mouth.
Basically, online its hard, if I ever found out somebody did do it over what I said, I'd be extremely surprised (Angry at myself obviously) But for that to happen, they had to already be in depression, therefore the internet isn't the best of ideas.
Forums, rather.
People need to seek the help, its there.
I won't pretend to personally know what it's like to live with depression, but my sister has it and she attempted suicide on multiple occasions. Everyone knows it's a joke among friends, or at worst just some internet euphemisms to tell someone to fuck off. But I know for certain that there are users here who on a weekly or daily basis consider ending their life, and while they probably consider the people on here friends, all it takes is one particularly shitty day, where they retreat to the safety of the internet to talk about random stuff on the Flood, for one of their friends to jokingly say "kill yourself", and have that inexplicable chemical imbalance going on in their head lead to the feeling that it's finally a good idea. Just food for thought. Telling a friend that may be hiding depression to stay off the internet, a huge means of escape for those people, is incredibly insensitive and cruel.

Not sure why these needed another thread, especially when the topic has already been put to rest in the previous thread.

None of those companies are working on artificial intelligence, so I'd go with Other.

Looks great. I genuinely enjoyed Fallout 3 and NV, and Skyrim is one of my favorites.

Although one thing I don't understand is why they need the taxpayer to fund them, surely they can provide for themselves.
They could, but the salary the taxpayers pay them is smaller than the revenue from royal lands that the government gets in return.
That's kind of cheating though, isn't it? Any royal property is basically the government's property.

I honestly feel like the last two endings are the bad one.
Like, why wouldn't you want to wake up?
Just look at the other hunters that have awoken from the dream: Djura, Alfred, Eileen, and all the other nameless ones you meet. You cut yourself off of insight and the Great Ones. It's not about good or bad endings, though, and there are lots of reasons why your character would want to get cured and get the hell out of Yharnam.

Everyone can agree that climate change is a critical issue, but using the Coast Guard Academy as a soap box is pretty crappy.

You even fought the Moon Presence?
No, I killed Gehrman then got the ending where you replace him. I reloaded the save and found I had only consumed 2/4 of the cords.
