When you are done with Bob's, you can do space exploration, or pyanodon's if you hate yourself.

Yeah, I have to take breaks sometimes and be in the right mood. I find that I like to play more when I'm going through a boring patch at work and I need something mentally stimulating.

Everything except the losing interest part is what people love about factory games. So while they have your interest, realize that you are absolutely playing them "correctly". But if you don't like iterating your designs (not everyone does, and that's OK), then these are probably not the right genre for you.

You want flaming for improper grammar, you have 2 flagrant violations in this post which absolutely does not detract from your message. You better continue going about your day not being bothered by this at all. Geez!

(I'm sure I made mistakes here too, go ahead)

Kind of agree. I wish combat robots were placed in the suit inventory and then came out as needed. It never felt right for them to be automated grenades.

Have you seen the Tom Scott video?

If it works for hamsters may be a properly built one could work for people, but there's absolutely no ethical way to test that.

Unfortunately, this is one of those fun ideas that simply won't ever be possible. Even if we start with the easy one of just breaking chemical bonds, those bonds exist because it reduces the total energy of the system.

To "disrupt" those bonds, energy must be supplied, and to do it for even a small amount of material would require a tremendous amount of energy. Delivering that much energy over a distance just isn't possible because atmosphere in between would also be "disrupted". The disrupted material would also fly apart at high speeds and high temperatures. So any type of "ray" or "gun" would just turn into a bomb with a pistol grip trigger. I expect that the user experience testing would have lots of very negative reviews.

Don't give them free advertising then.

Do you mean geologic, not geographic?

How does that work though? Sedimentary rocks formed in the last 100 years must be way deeper than any of the soil that could be affected by the atmosphere?

Or am I overthinking this and you're saying that there's an indicator in recent soil deposits that correlates to radioactive testing.

No, it's a goof on my part. I forgot what season Harmon was out.

Try it! Might be good, but doesn't ring any bells. May take some experimenting.

As long as it has all been cooked, it should keep for a while. Might lose potency since herbs tend to be pretty volatile.

Community can have some really great writing (dips in season ~~3~~ 4, but recovers in ~~4~~ 5).

30 Rock, Parks and Rec (particularly picks up once two new members join the cast), the Good Place, and Brooklyn 99 are all usually pretty light hearted and fun.

Scrubs can be very funny, but also has some somber episodes where you'll find some of the best writing is the series. Generally more fun than grim though.

The writing quality in how I met your mother was good for the first few seasons, but dropped off in the latter half.

Friends was pretty consistent, but not as good as some of these others, for me at least.

The Oreville is inspired by Star Trek, particularly shows like the Next Generation. That's a good series with some great episodes, but has some filler lower quality between. Not as silly as the Oreville, but some are still fun. Others are interesting or exciting in a variety of ways.

I haven't watched What We Do In The Shadows, but it is on my list for the same reason you asked the question.
