An elementary school. "Teen".

This whackjob wasn't even targeting their own school! Not that such would make anything right, but it just compounds the crazy. 129 pages over an elementary school!

Slaanesh-tainted Chaos-aligned Sisters of Battle. Perfectly plausible and possible. Warp-aura makes up for their lack of armor. They get corrupted from the ecstasy and joy they feel for The Emperor, slowly, subtly, over time.

The Emperor doesn't need power armor to be powerful, you should follow his example. The Emperor needs humanity to be fruitful and multiply, to defend against the demons. The Emperor wants you to take out the heretics that say you should be chaste, they're trying to drive humanity to extinction. The Emperor wants you to join with the daemons angels who are just trying to bring back up humanity's numbers for the glorious holy war against Chaos. Faith in The Emperor is your shield and sheltering cloth, so your mundane dress should be in a manner that helps men ready themselves for their duty of continuing humanity. [You now have bikini warriors]. If the men you encounter aren't actively continuing humanity, they should be punished, then allowed to redeem themselves upon the closest local (who is of course willing, after all, any who do not consent are Chaos cultists aiming to deplete humanity's population and should be skinned alive in the town square, then he may redeem himself upon the next local, usually there's only one or two Cultists per city that need skinning before it's all sorted out). As The Emperor's most faithful and truest followers, you should go planet to planet, making sure this ideology is followed.

You now have a Slaaneshi sex-cult faction of Sororitas. I hope you enjoy your bikini-wearing women in 40k.

The Spice And Wolf light novel series is basically all about economics, but coached in a romance/adventure/fantasy story. Might be high school minimum, though, not middle school, contained some nudity.

Though that specific one may need to wait, the idea behind it is sound: Economics isn't interesting in a vaccuum. It's incredibly important, and if you grasp the importance is can become interesting, but it's inherently boring. Finding a storybook that dwells upon economics but is still a storybook isn't a bad approach to get a kid into the subject.

If its people are chosen by God, it doesn't matter who supports whom, the ones God picks will win. If you're so worried about the result, isn't that showing your lack of faith? Do you not believe in the power of God? Or are you a more heretical sort who believes God wishes to harm those people specifically?

I don't think I can accept paid propaganda from someone who clearly has so little faith in God that mere banter has them shaking for the safety of what are God's people. There are people in South America who let venomous snakes bite them to prove that God loves them, because God will not let harm come to His chosen, but you think God will not save people from metal rain and chariots of iron? Infidelious thoughts.

Gotta ask them how they'd feel if they skipped breakfast that morning.

Well, it's still new tech. Give it a few years. Right now, yeah, we need the male programmer bro to make the AI children to go along with the AI girlfriend, but they might be able to have iterative neural network models eventually.

I'd try to get out well before then, if I owned the place. The land value, or the lease-sublet-until-lease-comes-due value, will crash and burn hard if the communists institute authoritarian command economy measures. Wait too long, and it will become more and more costly to get out.

And yet Vedal987 and Neuro-sama his little vTuber AI LLM seem to make gradual but stepped incremental improvements, almost as if the exclusive programmer for the one AI could understand how things work and can be adjusted.

And we do know how the brain functions. I can poke your brain with a probe and have you think that God visited you personally, or make you hungry for bacon. It's not all that hard, you're living in the 1900s, mate.

It's obviously confusing because Yakub's grand invention was, and is, the ultimate master of Deceptology. So if anything seems confusing, that's just proof that it's even more real.

No Liberty Prime?! Hard pass.

("But it can't be there!", well, they're ignoring the canon and fucking with canon anyways, so why not?)

If the Good party could be the overdog, and win, well, what does that say about history? That maybe not everyone prior to themselves was pure evil! But if everyone in history wasn't evil, then maybe, just maybe, they aren't the avatar of pure Good, either! Oh no!

It's a reverse Pascal's Wager.

If you believe the eclipsologists, and they're wrong, you spent money to go on a vacation to Mexico or Niagara Falls or something, I think those were the big two. You probably had a great time, and the spending wasn't any different from a usual vacation, it just dictated where you'd go, not if you'd go. And of course, if they're right, you ALSO get a cool lightshow. If you don't believe them, either way, nothing happens except maybe you get startled for a few minutes if you happen to actually be in the totality path.

If you believe the climatologists, you MUST commit genocide. Earth is overpopulated, and only by killing the approximate entire populations of China and India can Earth be saved, and the timer to do it is far, FAR shorter than letting them die naturally. If they're wrong, you've killed BILLIONS. If they're right, YOU'VE STILL KILLED BILLIONS!

If you don't believe the climatologists... If they're wrong, you save money on everything you buy, and have a very good life. If they're right, then someone else, not you, three lifetimes after you die, will feel like moving to Canada because its climate is now nicer to live in than yours in Texas, while you STILL save money on everything you buy and have a higher standard of living. And of course, in both cases, you don't need to massacre billions of people.

As someone who has stopped trying, "no longer trying so hard" is complete bullshit. Attention levels are less than when I was trying, because to the surprise of grievance studies majors everywhere, women want to be noticed and appreciated, and if I don't give a fuck about their existence beyond what is contractually required by my job, they don't care either.

Complains of nothing. All he does is highlight whether or not SBI is detected. You could use that list as a positive curation list.

PS3 was actually peak graphics. Just devs couldn't properly use the software, so they outright admitted that for the PS4 they downgraded the upper limits.

Pools of Radiance is a bit iffy but entirely playable, but if you're willing to go back to red box, beyond gold box, the Sega Genesis' "Warriors Of The Eternal Sun" is a banger D&D RPG for its era, though it has a couple broken or janky mechanics, it's honestly a marvel how well it adapted things onto such a limited system.

Made an 8 hour RPG out of less data than a 3-minute youtube video in data.

One of the reasons I like anime-stylized RPG games so much. Anime paperdolls are super-cheap to make, require minimal animation budget, and yet are also highly expressive and descriptive of how the character "should" look.

Cost-benefit-wise, they're such an obvious choice to make, that it makes you wonder about the games that choose to NOT do them. Why waste that much budget?

There's a reason "Tree law! Tree law!" is a meme in some legal circles, because accurately replacing a tree is nearly impossible, leading to ridiculous fines in some cases.

I wonder if they need to do DNA tests just to make sure there's minimal inbreeding, like some of the more isolated peoples have begun doing? If a guy's pump'n'dump'd once, he's doing it more than once. Half the ghetto might've been spawned by a half-dozen promiscuous men.

It's like an Uncanny Valley deal: A whole adventurer? Clearly fine. Missing a finger from frostbite and a tooth or two from a punch? Ehh, still fine. Missing an eye from a dart trap? Well, only if it's a cool eyepatch, or sewn shut, very metal, but you're on the limit.

Hook hand and peg leg? What are you, Captain Hook?! TWO peg legs? Okay, you're just fucking with me now, that's not an adventurer, it's a tragedy.

Artificial legs, arms, teeth, eyes, organs, skin, and silicon brain? Hell, sure, we can have an archeology android. That's not weird. But make ONE part of them human and you're out.
