Descent was ahead of its time. Are there any modern games that are similar?

Tortoiseshell and calico? Not sure of any others

Uplifting news

Pretty fucking rich coming from a guy who looks like he's never missed a meal in his life.

And no the point isn't that he's fat, it's that he's a hypocrite. Definitely the type that would pull up the ladder behind him.

Doesn't sound very "pro-life" to me. But then their self-identification was always a severe misnomer.

There was a recent update for Fallout 4 which broke a bunch of mods. Fallout 4 was released in 2015 and is a single-player game. Why did it get an update?

Tough to find phones that still have a jack. USB headphones or a dongle?

I think they are saying to just not connect whatever. E.g. buy the smart TV and don't connect it to the internet.

Indeed. So many examples of them not giving a shit otherwise.

Insert "we are not the same" meme

I use the "plant-based" label because people get weird about the v-word, and quite frankly I'm only super-strict about meat and egg so don't think I've really earned the title. I avoid dairy, but it shows up in a lot of unexpected places so I give myself some leeway with micro-ingredients. Why? Because it's more effort than I'm willing to put in. I know that won't be a satisfactory answer to diehards, but it is an honest one.

Or perhaps you are asking if it is only about food? I don't use non-food animal products either (e.g. leather, wool, down).

My last paragraph is really more rhetorical because it's a very predictable "whatabout." While not wanting to bother with the effort certainly is true (in-line with my attitude on dairy micro-ingredients), having easier availability to small local farms wouldn't change anything in this regard. I'd still stick to a plant-based lifestyle. If anything, it's something I might have used as a crutch while phasing out animal products. But I am past that now.

like some fucked up torture treadmill

Welcome to industrial animal agriculture. I stopped eating animal products 7 years ago. My only regret is not making this change earlier.

And before someone says "just buy from small local farms": I live in an urban area. Unless I burn gas driving all over fuck, the industrial animal ag products are what is in the stores. Easier for me to just go plant-based.
