Well, for one, the 18 deaths I imagine are only the ones they know about. Like most info that puts them in a bad light, I don't think the IDF would be very forthcoming with the actual numbers.

I've gotta rep one of my all time favorite party games to this day (ported to PC) Worms Armageddon. They've had several sequels, but I believe that was the last one to use that particular physics engine, and every game since has just felt a bit... Hollow?

Also +1 to Paper Mario - S-Tier RPG, best of the whole series IMHO, tho the GameCube sequel TTYD is deserving of a very close second. I wish so bad they'd make a return to badges and acquiring new buddies and buddy upgrades throughout the game. The oragami king battle mechanics did not do it for me, and with it being the core mechanic of the game just soured my whole experience despite the rest of the game being pretty solid.

Spot on with Perfect Dark. It's one fault imo is that it was trying to do almost too much for the 64. Even as an expansion pak game, the graphics that the 64 was capable of could just not render the necessary detail for a lot of stuff to be easy to see/recognize.

I've heard there have been studies that indicate that in some part modern allergies are our bodies directing an evolved immune response that we once needed for all the parasites we constantly carried. They gave parasites to people that had certain food allergies and suddenly their food allergies were just straight up gone.

What a disengenuous analogy.

Watched recently with my 8 year old and while it's certainly still a justifiable classic, there's still some things that are pretty problematic in this movie that made it a challenging watch with a kid...

Learned this lesson the hard way in my last session - I've been making rolls publically for a while, but I made a lethal combat roll against one of my player's level 1 PC while the rest of the party was too far away to help them.

I might have been able to find a way to not let them die from an enemy one-shotting them (there were many friendly NPCs nearby) but this would have really gummed up the pace of the game and story. Much easier to just fudge the roll and say they took almost lethal damage instead.

The trouble of course was the player saw the roll and so knew I'd fudged it. I don't want to set the precedent that I'm going to pull punches on them, but I definitely don't want anyone to die in their very first encounter (ever, not just in this campaign) not having made any real mistakes.

I'm now going to have to makes sure the party understands that was a one-time thing - and hide all my rolls going forward!

COME ON, IT WAS RIGHT THERE

I can relate to not wanting to throw something away if you can just fix it, but I guarantee you will save yourself a lot of time and stress if you just go down to your local thrift shop with a kitchen section and pick one of the dozens of spatulas they will have for like $0.50.

The last thing you want is the mess and possible pain of your repaired spatula breaking under the stress of lifting a hot, oily food from the pan.

YSAK - Very, very, very few of the people complicit in this industry ever had any real consequences for perpetuating a system of child abuse that lead to the destruction of so many lives going back to at least the late 60's. Most of these monsters simply moved on to other things after their institutions were finally shut down.

Some were even publicly lauded by their communities and powerful leaders for their "contributions" to society.

Oh fun, a real life prisoner's dilemma.

I bet we can all guess whether employers hold up their end of the bargain by reining in profits. Gotta make sure those shareholders get theirs.

That annoying character in The Land Before Time is not named Sarah.

Her name is Cera. As in CERATOPS.
