Since they’re born from the horse end, they could have horse like gestation. So they can probably hang out in the womb about 2 months longer. Not a huge difference for humans. However if we’re assuming they are a product of evolution, it would stand to reason that they could have accelerated growth compared to humans. Add in that centaurs are generally omnivorous, you get a higher density of nutrients consumed. It’s possible that the longer gestation, plus more nutrient dense diet, plus some evolutionary shenanigans (centaurs maybe did have toddler heads and horse bodies, but those just died out), they could end up being born with enough back and neck strength to keep themselves upright.

But we’re also talking about centaurs so the answer is probably fuckin magic I guess

Especially since it already has party mechanics built in. Why can’t they just swap out pawns for your friends? I get it wouldn’t really fit the story, but that can be handwaved.

A lighthearted and colorful Soulslike RPG with actual multiplayer. I want to run around in a BotW/TotK style world and go adventuring with friends, while still feeling like the combat is challenging. I want to be able to head into a dangerous dungeon with friends and not be sure we’ll make it out, while having a more storybook fantasy vibe. Too many game opt for gritty apocalypse worlds. The recent Zeldas show that you don’t need to go grimdark to have a compelling fantasy world, while still retaining a save the world vibe.

The Artemis app is in beta and it’s looking pretty promising. Definitely still some bugs, but the UI is dead simple and easy to customize. Switching to a subbed only view works well too. The official mag is m/artemisapp

I tried using it for a few months and just kept getting wildly inaccurate predictions. It wasn’t any faster or easier so I just continue typing normally. Plus the multi-language recognition isn’t good enough in my experience.

The game is actually very close to what it promised initially. Obviously some things just aren’t possible (you can’t open every door to every building unfortunately) but cyberpunk has really come into it’s own in the past few years. Not to mention that Phantoms Liberty is going to essentially be a soft relaunch along with a whole new story and world map. I’d say it’s at least worth a couple more hours of trying it out.

Now I’m tempted to bake a steak shaped cookie from an entire tube of cookie dough

I personally love working nights. I’m not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination. In fact I am actively worse at things the earlier I wake up. Conversely my brain feels clearer and more active after 10pm.

That being said, my social life is almost entirely online. I rarely go out IRL. I sleep like a rock and only need about 6 hours anyway.

If you are someone who needs to talk to people, has trouble sleeping during the day, or requires a lot of sleep, the night shift is likely not for you.

Some people are built for it, some aren’t.

This is a bit of a spoiler, but the guy who mentions Musk is actually from the evil mirror universe. So the second guy from the mainline universe is confused as to why Musk is on that list. He was probably a bigger figure in the mirror universe.

They gotta feel superior somehow, might as well dive head first into the delusion.

Please, I beg of you, don’t call me out this hard.

Pressure washer? Might be overkill, but if you get one with enough horsepower it could do the trick.

Yes, finally, some common sense. Neelix did not consent to die for Starfleet. Tuvok did not consent to die to become Tuvix. Neither consented to staying as Tuvix, because Tuvix was his own person and could not make decisions for them.

Nobody protests Tom and William Riker staying separate despite literally being the same person. Why not extend the same logic to Tuvok and Neelix? If a clone can be it’s own person, then why is the well being of two individuals cast aside?

YES!
EXACTLY!

Everyone wants to save Tuvix because they like him. But nobody wants to save Tuvok or Neelix. They didn’t consent to dying so Tuvix could live. If you agree Tuvix is a person, then you cannot disregard that so were Tuvok and Neelix. Where was their funeral? Does Tuvok’s family not get it’s husband and father back because the crew liked Tuvix better? The two people who’s opinion mattered the most couldn’t be consulted. If Tuvix is a person, his judgement on the matter is simply too biased as his sense of self preservation would interfere with objective decision-making.

To save Tuvix was to murder Tuvok and Neelix.

This looks dope. It reminds me of Sync. Can’t wait to try it out.

Your comment made me giggle more than it should have. Good work.

Electricity can be generated sustainably. Rare earth metals can be recycled. We are working on alternatives to fossil fuels. Environmental issues aren’t a zero sum game. You don’t “Lose” just because something else also pollutes. It’s an issue that is worked on systematically. Could it be a lot faster? Yes of course. But we work with what we have.

Data centers are also multi-use. You don’t build a data center just to house your game. You pay for the space in one that already exists. A company can choose to make software available on a platform that is open to a large portion of the world, or it can spend cash and resources shipping boxes of plastic all over the world. The pollution and waste generated by shipping something across an ocean massive. Do you really want to put all that into the air so you can have the plastic circle?

How often does that happen these days though? Trading in games or lending to friends hasn’t been worth it for a while. Trades are worth a handful of dollars and if your friends are adults they can probably afford their own game anyway. We cling too much to an era where people could still believe the earth would be fine. It’s a hobby, is it really worth it?

You’re absolutely right. All these people shouting about “back in my day we owned games!” are forgetting that games have to be manufactured. Is all that plastic and pollution worth having a plastic rectangle with a different plastic circle in it? At the end of the day once you’ve played the game that’s it, it’s yours. Your experience is unique and it can’t be taken away, don’t cling to manufactured waste when what you cherish are the memories.

I’m running a game for a discord server and by its nature people will drop in and out. So I wrote it into the overarching plot. Reality is literally coming apart at the seams. Objects and creatures from other worlds have been leaking in. At the same time things have been dissappearing without a trace. Not just stuff either, an entire city just vanished in a flash of green light. A powerful wizard is investigating and needs adventurers to go out and do the grunt work. They’ve been traipsing about the planes trying to find the missing city and some clue as to what is happening.

There’s also a monk who’s working for the wizard. His job is to escort adventurers where they are needed via portals, meaning people will occasionally appear mid-adventure. Sometimes people slip out of reality. They experience it as a few seconds but the real time elapsed varies.
