Lyre

To be honest, I'm not even sure if I am criticizing it, in the same sense that i don't really have any criticisms of the colour beige...

It made no impression on me, it had no memorable characters or interesting ideas, I can't even remember the plot despite the fact that im sure i played through the whole thing. The only take away i had was a string of marvel level quips and an extremely thorough understanding that evil corporations are bad...

I was just, disappointed. Thats all. But my impressions are coloured by how much i wanted it to be good after playing falliut 4. Definitely do not let that influence your experience, if you loved it then i believe you 100%

I hope so, but I'm nervous. The Outer Worlds also seemed really promising at first but turned out to be so disappointingly bland. Fingers crossed though

I've been reading about Russian history lately.... Life really does just keep getting worse and worse for these guys throughout time

Excellent point

Honestly its bizzare that the original phrase gets said so often. There aren't really that many scenarios in history where "hard times" didn't just lead to corrupt people making times harder.

Well whadya know

Honestly, i feel like there is a lot less textual evidence for homoerotiticism in the iliad than people want to believe. Not saying it isnt there on some level, and maybe there's a wider tradition outside the epic cycle, but i think there relationship is ambiguous enough that old historians can be forgiven the "friends" label.

Or the alternative "Sketch comedian breaks character at the end because they realzed the joke wasn't actually that funny on its own"

There are certain people on the internet who have been conditioned to impulsively post any recognizable reference even if only tangentially related to a topic in hopes of getting some sort of response. It's the redditor syndrome

1. Create environment actively hostile to remain in for long periods of time
2. Expect people to work and be productive in said environment for hours on end
