*mostly* that was exaggerating for comedic effect

I liked orange *juice* as a kid but I hated anything super acidic, and most citrus fruit hit that threshold.

Nowadays I love them, but I was like, 22, 23? when that started to shift.

I'm still confused why someone who had a journalistic ethics scandal is in cabinet.

both of those, and chocolate, are good on their own
mint and chocolate can work together
chocolate and orange is an abomination (and I like oranges, now! but as oranges.)

all three together? why.

the gap between "knows how to use a terminal", "wants to learn more about how to use a computer", and "normal person who would rather pay a small fee for something that Just Works" is basically one of those "pick only two" triangles.

Basically: I think moderating or moving away from climate won't matter until suddenly it does.

I also don't think there's any world in which you want Steven Guilbeault to quit on the day of your MOU.

I understand the conventional wisdom that climate is less of a priority for the public now and so Carney can move away from it.

But I think a Liberal government that bet heavily on that would be taking a big political risk.

One of the strangest things of the 2020s is finding myself agreeing with Bill Kristol on a recurring basis.

the funny thing is that everyone thought fukuyama was taking a victory lap when in reality he thought the end of history would stifle human creativity and make everyone bored and apathetic

Clans is the story-focused game, Mercs is a gigantic sandbox that has some stories (some good, some fine; some short, some long) in it as mini-campaigns.

If you remember the old Mercs spinoff titles, it's one of those.
They're both labeled MW5.

Note that Clans needs a beefier computer due to UE5.

They were my introduction to the franchise and have been wormed into my brain since I was 4.
I was lost very early lol.

But you can still possibly appreciate the high fidelity mech footage.

Between the base game, the Ghost Bears DLC, the (MW5:Mercs) Shadow of Kerensky DLC, and this, they've said that they've put out nearly 3.5 hours of cutscenes in the past 14 months.
Not counting missions, in-mission dialogue, menu stuff, etc.
Fully rendered cutscenes.
