Okay, you consider it a cheat answer, that’s fair. But, just for the record, pokemon is a fantasy series. And the pokemon are a race of monsters.

But for a more typical answer, I’d go with either dragons cause they’re usually powerful and intelligent and can fly or warcraft’s taurens cause they’re like a hippie version of a minotaur. Strong and intelligent but with an affinity for nature. A tauren druid being a very fun combo with tons of versatility.

First gen Pokemon? Or is that cheating?

Makes me feel like when I have a small bit of a song stuck in my head and I’m desperately trying to think of what follows so that I can properly look it up but I can’t. Feels like there should be more of a follow-up in the chorus after “strawberry fields forever”. As it is, it feels like a jingle for a company named strawberry fields.

Had a classmate that thought the same. 20 years later, still amused by how funny we thought that was.

I’m an idiot that can’t get spoiler tags to work for some reason so sent pm

For all the others, read the Dresden files! Or get the audiobooks read by James Marsters aka Spike from Buffy. He’s doing a phenomenal job, imo.

It would not. I’ve read everything that’s come out. Did you?

Is one of those the Dresden files?

You’re on the wrong side of Lemmy for these kinds of opinions. Over here Ukraine is the aggressor and the global south are a beacon of hope for the future of mankind. Puked a little in my mouth just typing that.

There’s literally one extra word they put in there. Remove the “don’t” and it’ll be fine.

I pirate all the time. Until recently mostly on public trackers. Had malware once when I was like 12 and that’s about it. Sounds like a skill issue. Also, most cracked games get updates.

Fair enough. Yeah, I thought that maybe there were still small, unclaimed islands out there where you could have a small farm with solar power and shit and be self sufficient.

I have a question about the fun fact. Trying to better understand it. If I were rich enough to buy an island and move to it, would that be the new last place to be settled by humans? If no, why not. And if yes, then surely there’s at least one example of someone doing that since the 13th century.

Well, I’ll give you that, I was expecting you to come up with a reason why my source was wrong, not to just ignore it and say “nah”. Thanks for making this shorter.

The western propaganda one, I guess

The country in which 86% of the population live in poverty? But at least there’s doctors and literacy so that’s great. Classic communism win.

Last week an idiot driving on the 3rd lane. Leftmost lane. Fastest lane. However you wanna call it. Realized last second that she was gonna miss her exit from the highway.

Decides fuck spending 5-10 minutes taking the next exit. From her lane, while only like 1-2 meters past me, decides to pull in front of me and starts braking. Then does the same to the guy on my right and again to the guy trying to exit. Thankfully I was paying attention and I started braking as soon as I saw her pulling in front of me. And thankfully the guy behind me was far enough and all. Nobody hit anybody, but it was fucking scary.

People are fucking idiots.

I used recognizable names, including respected names such as fromsoft and supergiant which aren’t even doing it. The point I was trying to make was that the more normal and accepted it becomes, the more it will be done and it might eventually become the norm. Like the YouTube title/thumbnail trend. “We have to do it because of the algorithm! We don’t make money otherwise”

First they did it at EA, but I didn’t say anything because I don’t play EA games. Then they did it at Ubisoft, but I didn’t say anything because I don’t play Ubisoft games. Then they did it at Blizzard, but I didn’t say anything because I don’t play Blizzard games. Then they did it at fromsoft games, but I didn’t say anything because I don’t play fromsoft games. Then they did it at supergiant games, but I didn’t say anything because I don’t play their games.

Then they did it at every other fucking company because it was industry standard.

Wow, thanks for the detailed reply. Yeah, super expensive…

How do teams get into the NFL? Could she buy a non-nfl team and bring it up to NFL standards and then win the Superbowl with it? I’m not asking if it’s realistic, just, you know, curious if it could be attempted like rich guys do in soccer
