Chipping isn’t that big a deal with nonstick. Overheating is the real danger. You should never let it it 500F. Also, once it starts to become discolored it should be disposed of.

It’s a majority black town that has maintained unelected white leadership since reconstruction. I think the motives are obvious here

Proving again that Sherman didn’t go far enough.

How have I never heard of these?

Others have brought up Dark Messiah which I think is a very decent rec.

Dragon Age Origins has some pretty powerful mages, but it might lack the physicality you’re after.

For Bethesda games I think magic is much better in Morrowind and Oblivion than Skyrim

Also, this is a little niche but Dragons Dogma has some awesome mages. It’d a little punchier and more action oriented than most western RPGs.

Lastly, Guild Wars 2 has surprisingly fun combat for a decade old MMO and it’s free.

I also still browse the desktop site when I’m at work and I feel like the vibe has nosedived. Shit post subs like AITAH are front paging more than ever, the subs I frequent have less activity and that activity is lower quality. I am getting way more rude, unhelpful, ignorant comments.

Ive seen so many posts by people who trashed the game after not even getting to the start of the time loop, calling it a bad walking sim with nothing to do.

Modern games have programmed people to be incurious and intellectually lazy

It tells me they are used to cuddly friendly fandoms. They’ve definitely never played real toxic games like Mordhau or anything Paradox has made. There are games that are legit >50% neonazis and avowed racists.

I can tell no one here has played Mordheim lol. It’s basically wall to wall neo Nazis spamming racial slurs. I got regular death threats, like almost every match. Destiny? Little league bullshit.

It’s about a third of all birds.

We shouldn’t be using organic pesticides either.

The Dunkey video is going to be amazing.

Can we please stick to talking about Rampart guys?

I’m close to you. 118F in Colorado, -30 in Chicago during the polar vortex. I had icicles in my beard within minutes, it was gnarly.

As of 2015 in the United States, more than 90% of abortions occur before the 13th week, 1.3% of abortions in the United States took place after the 21st week,[4] and less than 1% occur after 24 weeks.[5][6]

No one is terminating viable fetuses in the third trimester.

Unitarian Universalists. Quakers. Zen Buddhists probably?

Lovecraft wrote archaically even for his own time. He had some really interesting ideas, which is why his mythos has been used as a basis by so many other authors, but he wasn’t a very good writer in a technical sense. I really enjoyed his short stories as a teenager, but nowadays I prefer seeing what IMO more talented authors can do with the mythos.

You’re just comparing two different sets of books. I haven’t read Sara J Maas but back in the 90s and auties we were getting crushed under an avalanche of Danielle Steele, Dean Koontz, and Dan Brown. If you want a contemporary fantasy author with a bit more gravitas read Catherynne Valente or Kazuo Ishiguro. Although they won’t go down smooth as a beach read, maybe.

Totally in a league of her own as an epic fantasy writer IMO!

I don’t see why people would even go to a site to read AI generated articles and be bombarded with ads. I could just ask an AI to write an article for me? Just cut out the middle man at that point.
