Depending on the setting and its origins, perhaps a scholarly Bard would work well.

  • Talos Principle. The VR version of the first game, haven’t gotten around to the second game yet. I love the puzzles (when I don’t struggle with timing running past mines), and it’s hilarious that the philosophical test to make a Milton admin profile showed me how utterly unprepared I am for philosophical debate, and how weirdly contradictory my viewpoints might be. Mind you, the only philosophy class I’ve taken in my life was an ethics class.

    TL;DR Talos Principle is amazing so far, even though it makes me want to slink off back to college and sheepishly register for a philosophy class.

    Why do humans put salt on nuts such as cashews (assuming they don’t just require salt to form)?

  • I agree, honestly. The way I have it configured, I can even run Starfield (although the way I initially had it, the graphics looked like something off of a PS2/3 or a 3DS, and now the loading screens actually give me plenty of time to read the loading screen tips).

    And the indie games (and also Elder Scrolls Online) that I normally play don’t even give me that much trouble.

  • That eel story just sounds grisly. If I saw someone murk a wild animal that large by hand, even one intended for a meal, on the street in broad daylight, I’d probably audibly mutter “wtf”

  • Yeah, I might have to delete Twitter just to get away from political ads.

    I subscribed to YouTube premium specifically to avoid political adverts while still supporting content creators (political adverts are even more repetitive and uncreative than commercials, in my mind), and I actively avoid any room my parents are in when they’re watching any TV at all during campaign season.

    I’ll get my info on how to vote by actually looking up the candidates’ actions on databases, thanks.

    Why do carnivorous/predatory animals seem to sleep more than extremely intelligent animals?

    For example, why do things like domestic cats and dogs seem to nap and sleep for longer than humans or elephants?

  • Is the Irish Sun owned by the same guys as the British version of The Sun? If so, I probably would look for other sources entirely. Preferably far, far away from the “games journalism” sphere.

  • Falcons

  • In case anyone isn’t aware of the actual reason we die when we get overheated enough:

    At the point where that happens, some of our bodily enzymes would stop working, meaning some of the tiny processes that keep us alive would no longer be possible.

    Stay hydrated, friendos

    Could the death of Charles XII of Sweden be explained by a freak meteorite impact?

  • Also, we can and do eat some mild poisons because they’re tasty somehow.

    I have a love of chocolate, but smaller animals can’t eat as much without severe metabolic issues that might kill them.

    And capsaicin is straight-up an anti-mammal deterrent. Birds might be able to eat it with no reaction at all. Meanwhile humans just deal with their temperature receptors being freaking hacked for seemingly no other reason than fun.

    Did humans, at some point, believe that the universe is 18 billion years old, prior to the 13.8 billion estimate?

    When I was a kid (or perhaps a teenager), I distinctly remember at one point believing the universe was around 18 billion years old, but I can’t remember where my memory would’ve gotten that estimate prior to more modern estimates.

  • Gonna be honest, this is the post that caused me to learn (via dictionary definition/Wikipedia) that I’ve probably been using the word “debriefing” wrong (I assumed debriefing referred to something like aftercare, but in a military/espionage context),

    Probably not at all what you were expecting to accomplish with this post, but thanks much regardless.

    My download seems to be throttling itself because it’s topping out my removable disc usage… But this game is on the SSD

    In the medieval period, would a court jester have been necessary to break the news of a Queen consort’s death?

    For example, assuming Philip III of France had had a court jester, how would such a profession deal with the topic of Isabella of Aragon getting into a horse crash, basically miscarrying on the spot, and dying?

    Would olive-oil bathing (as ancient Greco-Roman cultures may have done) have actually succeeded in cleaning a person?
