Ah, but this is a thing that crappy police procedurals MAKE YOU THINK happens. You go to someone they “might” recruit, or whoever’s next on THE LIST of people to recruit, and flip them BEFORE because OF COURSE these people will happily help with an investigation at the cost of their business, their credibility, maybe even their life.
Nah, we funded both Iran and the Taliban. We even elected a guy who illegally funneled weapon sales to Iran in order to take that money and give it to Nicaraguan death squads. Arguably, without US support, neither gets the critical mass it needs to effect regime change or become anything more than an upstart.
No, but we’re doing a fantastic job exporting a lot of the doctrine and repackaging it.
We did an escape room where we needed 4 digits to open a door. We got a few hints on the numbers to start and a single number, and then our fighter guessed the answer entirely correctly.
Yes, his father was also an undocumented immigrant.
We also nationalized several enormous companies with arguably excellent results (ConEd, Amtrak, the post-WWI FRA).
The general difference, though unspoken, is that the kids being “trafficked” in their heads are white middle class suburban kids. A lot of conspiracy simply leads back to antisemitism, white supremacy, or both.
Nah, media companies have been doing this for years now, and now the gaming industry has figured out the “cancel something and claim the potential profits as a tax writeoff”.
No no, it’s cooler than that. We tried out aviation on Mars to make sure we figured out how to do aviation on Titan.
Also, unless you’ve got a way to pay rent or a house you own, good luck getting on housing assistance. Most cities have a waiting list months or years long - I know last time I had to look into it for myself, it was something like 15 months of waiting for a potential open slot anywhere in the city.
Most jurisdictions will try to tack on intent to distribute if you have over an ounce or two, because they know they can.
And also the parts where the GM is going “this would make the scene better even though it doesn’t work that way” like the scene in the graveyard.
You can also do Lego minifigs if you don’t mind paying shipping. They’re super cheap from places like Bricklink and you can get a lot of different designs pretty easy.
And due to how Amtrak’s scheduling works (because freight rail is prioritized over everyone else), you’re likely getting that train at a bad time days before the game. If I wanted to catch a train from my home to Chicago, my only option is Thursday at 4AM. Outside the Northeast, you’re lucky to get one passenger train a week from your major metro, if at all.
I think I managed to get the Earth and Fire Crystals and couldn’t figure out how to get to where the Water Crystal was. All of THAT was from literal wandering.
Very Francoist. “If I must kill one half of the country to save the other half” and such.
Not “obscure”, but nobody has noticed that their fixer in my cyber-magi-punk modern-day Faerun game, Mr B, who has magical abilities that should not be possible with conventional magic, who has a ton of canaries in his office, and whose guard/retinue at the bar he owns all dress in the same outfit with the same gold shirts, *might be something more than just a guy.
They’re currently trying to stop Tiamat’s resurrection, but nobody has asked “hey, is our fixer literally Bahamut?”.
It’s also still useful in some situations. I had a family friend with hydrocephalus that had a hole in his skull.
Assuming any foreign space agency will work with NASA now…
