Sshhhh.

We don’t want them learning there’s lands beyond their borders. They might travel!

Any plastic in that EV?

I’m getting “cake or death” vibes

Resting up that broken toe

But people did lose their jobs when shops switched to customers getting their own stuff off the shelves.

Not how it uses to work.

Its wonderful how humans don’t have a problem with contradictions when they see one side as “normal”

Do you feel the same way about getting the stuff off the shelves yourself?

Mary had a little lamb,

Little lamb little lamb,

Mary had a little lamb,

whose fleece was white as snow.

A plot device added to give the player somewhere to conquer / liberate.

A hidden empire that rivals the empire and republic, ruled by a powerful force user and with access to advanced technology.

Fair enough, each to their own!

I didn’t feel it played too different to the originals, much of the filler was fun and the fee is optional, so I loved the game.

I’ve never looked into mods for the first two, except the restoration project, so have no opinion on that point!

That was really a bad move, in hindsight.

Painted themselves into so many corners they’ve never gotten back out of.

Nah, it’s been passed off by the Studio to smaller maintenance company, who are doing some nice stuff with it.

New stories keep getting added, though perhaps they’re not of the same quality as the originals!

SWTOR is KOTOR3 for me.

Similar story telling, setting, dialogue, choices, morals and powers.

Only they added multiplayer and a cosmetics shop.

Oddly it’s probably become less KOTOR over time, compared to how it was at launch.

I live without adverts in my life.

I have no subscription services.

When a service stops being useful I switch.

Aside from my steam library, I own everything I own. I don’t find this difficult. I’m not missing out, I enjoy films, TV, games, friends, work and life generally.

My personal choices have made a massive difference to my experiences, if I compare them to the ones I see people talking about on Lemmy.

Half an hour?

Damn.

Well, there’s a philosophical point that’s worthy of exploring.

Is human activity, including manipulation, a result of nature or in conflict with it?

Ever seen Orcas wearing salmon hats?

Hierarchical systems are perfectly normal in social systems. Not in the rigid way your manosphere nutters use it, but it’s still a thing!

What accent is that?

Yes, because of the relatively similar conditions and needs of humans

Something empires don’t have!

Sure, we could also work out the average life expectancy of a mammal.

But, would it really be useful, predictive or meaningful, given the variety and variability of the conditions the data emerges from?
