  1. The reviews are coming in so slowly that I'm getting the impression that the media outlets are drawing straws to see who gets to review the game Game Information Game Title: High on Life Platforms: PC (Dec 13, 2022) Publisher: Squanch Games, Inc. Review Aggregator: OpenCritic - 69 average - 42% recommended Critic Reviews Try Hard Guides - 10 / 10 MonsterVine - 4.5 / 5 XboxEra - 9 / 10 ZTGD - 9 / 10 GameGrin - 8.5 / 10 Multiplayer First - 8.5 / 10 Game Rant - 4 / 5 God is a Geek - 8 / 10 IGN - 8 / 10 Saving Content - 4 / 5 TechRaptor - 8 / 10 Gamerheadquarters - 7.6 / 10 Checkpoint Gaming - 7.5 / 10 ComingSoon.net - 7.5 / 10 Hobby Consolas - Spanish - 75 / 100 Press Start - 7.5 / 10 Worth Playing - 7.5 / 10 Everyeye.it - Italian - 7.2 / 10 Digital Trends - 3.5 / 5 GameSpot - 7 / 10 GameWatcher - 7 / 10 GamesRadar+ - 3.5 / 5 Paste Magazine - 7 / 10 Shacknews - 7 / 10 Spaziogames - Italian - 7 / 10 TheSixthAxis - 7 / 10 Twinfinite - 3.5 / 5 EGM - 3 / 5 Game Informer - 5.8 / 10 Destructoid - 5.5 / 10 Metro GameCentral - 5 / 10 Guardian - 2 / 5 PC Gamer - 40 / 100 But Why Tho? - 3 / 10 Eurogamer - Avoid GameXplain - Liked-a-lot Kotaku - Unscored PCGamesN - 5 / 10 Washington Post - Unscored
  2. Hence my qualification that the receptiveness largely depends on the individual's weighting of those two poles.
  3. I'd say that its efficacy on the individual receiving the argument largely depends on that person's view of individualism vs collectivism.
  4. Oh, I'm sure he was! I was just chiming in with my own personal contempt for that particular agument!
  5. I consider the "My Body, My Choice" argument in favor of the pro-choice position to be the absolutely least-persuasive one possible. The far superior argument involves the burden to society -- both economic and otherwise -- through the existence of children whose parents are either unable or unwilling to provide them with a nurturing environment.
  6. @sblfilms - do you have any insight as to how the MPAA would rate a film with all of the swear words bleeped-out? Technically, the MPAA would theoretically have no idea what word is actually being bleeped-out, right? It could be something as benign as "butter" so would they assign a more restrictive rating based on the bleeping of inferred/implied swear words?
  7. Is it possible to have the swear words be bleeped-out and it still be G-rated? Because that would be freakin' hilarious if so!
  8. ISW analysis for 14 December 2022: Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, December 13 | Institute for the Study of War WWW.UNDERSTANDINGWAR.ORG Belarusian forces remain unlikely to attack Ukraine despite a snap Belarusian military readiness check on December 13. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko ordered a snap comprehensive readiness check of the Belarusian military on December 13. The
  9. One of my aunts experienced that a couple of years ago and they attempted to "air ambulance" her from Trinidad to Miami for surgery. There simply wasn't enough time to save her.
  10. @Fizzzzle - does this mean that you're finally going to see if any of those A Total War Saga: Troy Steam codes that I sent to you actually work?
  11. My relationship with the name is that it's a bunch of letters that form a word that's associated with me by random cosmic chance so I really have no strong feelings about it
  12. She's not even sure if Rogue Squadron "will happen or not". I think Disney/Lucasfilm is in as much as -- if not more than -- of a confused state as to what to do about Star Wars theatrically than Warner is about the DCEU.
  13. In the event that I ever did get married, I would absolutely insist that my spouse retain her own name or I would take hers. Oooohhh - I have an even better idea! We'd combine the two names in some way, maybe even randomly scrambling the letters!
  14. As fantastic an idea as this is, I can't help but wonder if it would be better applied to vaping products rather than tobacco ones for the age groups that are being targeted.
  15. I honestly don't blame either of them for necessarily feeling a sense of exasperation or lack of sympathy for what they and their colleagues experience on a daily basis. If anything, I would be surprised if they didn't feel that way and I'm OK with them taking that frustration out on the "safe space" of this board. However, as I previously stated, I don't view it as binary situation at all and simply will not apologize or express any contrition for reacting the way that I did to the story.
  16. This is far from being a purely binary situation (the well-being of healthcare workers vs the well-being of vulnerable populations) and represents the overall failure of society on every possible economic, moral, social, and political level. But I will stand by my initial "gut" reaction.
