In this hypothetical situation you’re proposing, who is it the US is attacking?

Ultimate Spider-Man (and the Tom Holland movies) completely erases his hardships. He gets so much handed to him that he never has to struggle in the ways that really made him interesting as a character. Here, kid, Iron Spider suit. You make it by pressing a button in this armored limo and a supercomputer designs and fabricates it for you. Here are some glasses that can summon missiles from a space platform. Your primary rival is kinda just a bro from the start.
This is a subtraction of growth. They eliminated the need for him to grow.
I like the stories, but they fundamentally changed Parker to be more flat and less interesting.

Not the question :p

I mean, if it’s Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis…

I feel the same about Ticket to Ride. Spend the whole game maybe doing something, maybe just drawing and passing, and then the game ends and somebody wins at random.

But these are good gateway games, games that lead from Monopoly and Snakes and Ladders to games like Betrayal and Root and Gloomhaven.

For the OP I would recommend Spirit Island, which is the perfect subversion of Settlers of Catan. Pass through Puerto Rico if you must (it’s a better game than Catan but yeesh, slavery, and then double-yeesh, casual slavery erasure).

I see the gateway board games but not the advanced ones, why stop when you’re so close?

Like putting a typo in the title. It’s to hook people in who wouldn’t otherwise engage by voting and replying.
That said, I have two thoughts:

• it’s probably just instance drift causing posts not to show up, and
• this is Lemmy, who cares about artificial engagement?

Was the Titan a Forgotten Beast? I saw one of those at least once per fort. Once it was a completely helpless squirrel made of ears that got caught in a trap without my noticing, once it was a colossal brass spider that casually strolled through my fortress, sticking all my surviving dwarves onto walls and ceilings with a web cannon. I had to wait for those dwarves to die of dehydration, since the fort isn’t considered lost while they’re still alive, but they couldn’t free themselves to eat or drink.

Yes but you don’t need it. WSL2 comes with WSLg these days, and can draw to your Windows desktop without an external graphical server.

I’m on Android. You’ve motivated me to dig up that setting and change it. I had assumed that each application handled that individually.
Mm. Looks like Android also has that locked down these days. We need a viable Linux phone.

I’ve got it, it seems to not engage when I follow links from other apps on mobile.

That site is terrible. It popped up a modal begging for my email address just from scrolling, and it did the back-button hijack via hidden redirection on initial page load, which then redirected my back button to a different page which tried to beg me to stay on their domain.
In case any future web designers are reading this: trying to trick me into spending more time on your website is the fastest way to make me want to burn your website to the ground and dance in its ashes.

Two points: Mint has a Debian version (LMDE), but also base Debian, especially the KDE flavor, has made enormous gains in beginner friendliness.

Specifically Linux Mint Debian Edition

This gets more and more relevant every day

Not clicking on that link (oh wait, I can see that it’s the xkcd link, it’s legit (I know you aren’t going to trust me either, that’s good, you’ve learned well))

Well now I am extra pleased by his daughter’s life choices.

You can also throw an item up, jump and grab onto a climbing surface, hold the grab button down, and line yourself up under the falling item to carry it.

I would still get a ThinkPad, but then, I would never be putting Windows on it anyway.

No, that would be an and hominem.
