*low chaos* "Technically this doesn't count as stealing because I'm going to use this 37 cents to fix the economy."
*high chaos* "Technically this doesn't count as stealing because I murdered the owner and the dead can't own things."
I think my least favorite thing in Dishonored games is how finicky cash registers are to interact with and how they have, like, three coins in them that you have to aim the reticle at very precisely or you'll accidentally close the register trying to take them.
It could definitely use a "loot all" mechanic for cash registers where you just hoover up the contents as it opens.
Of course as annoying as it is, I will still open every cash register I come across just to collect that 37 cents.
And they use a press vs. hold [interact key] distinction for so many other things, they could have easily made hold F to pick up everything in reach when you're pointed at an item, and/or hold F on a cash register to loot it.
People whose response to calls for raising the minimum wage is "But minimum wage jobs aren't meant to be life-long careers!"
Even if you were right, what's that got to do with it? You've still got to live while you have one.
People who don't make a living wage must be supported in some other way, whether it is a partner, parent, or the government. If they're not being supported externally, they are working themselves to death.
And depending on a lot of factors, you can potentially work yourself to death over a period of years and then find yourself in a living wage job, but with worse health and a shortened lifespan.
But why? What's the social good of us doing it this way?
We need Trump to *stop*. Not because "Dems are panicking, he's so close to winning and they know it!"
We need him to *stop* because January 6th also had a negligible danger of actually overturning the election and people still died, and many more could have died, easily.
This is also why the Republicans need to repudiate all of their own prior support for his lies about election fraud. Doing so won't convince his diehard faithful to turn on him, but they have actively contributed to the impression that there's a "there" there.
I honestly went from hating Migs Mayfeld and wondering why he of all people was being brought back to being so impressed with what they did with him in that episode.
I also genuinely love his confusion when they're like "too bad Mayfeld died on the mission" and he's not sure if they're letting him go or are about to waste him as a loose end.
If he wanted to make a statement that says he's disgusted with Trump but cannot in good conscience leave his post in a pandemic, I'd be like, yeah okay whatever. But to make a statement that he's resigning and then stay in his job until it ends anyway?
Yeah, Trump is really the king of "let's not and say we did".
One of the features of the TTRPG combat system I'm working on right now is that the enemy/NPC side gets a number of actions each round based on (not always strictly even to) the number of combatants on the heroes/player side.
This helps balance combat on the fly, and can result in situations that emulate TV Tropes like "Mook Chivalry" (the enemy's reserves stand around cheering and jeering instead of all rushing at once) , or where there's waves of minions popping up until the central problem resolves
It also provides for an analog to the 5E concept of bosses with "legendary actions" where the solo big bad can make additional attacks in between player turns while waiting for its actual turn. A big solo threat facing five PCs would attack like five separate creatures would.
The idea that Trump's actual reliable base is closer to a third of the electorate than half of it, as they so often love to claim, continues to bear out.
Like, these numbers shouldn't be seen as a direct translation to where Senators will fall, but... if 40% of Republican Senators voted to convict him (20 out of 50) and 96% of Democratic Senators voted to convict him (48 out of 50) then that's 68 votes, which is enough.
