  1. I cannot articulate how revolting this truly is
  2. congrats on your negative
  3. It was actually a line of demarcation dividing "unclaimed" lands across the entire planet, with Spain within rights to control the western hemisphere beyond that line and Portugal within rights to control the eastern hemisphere beyond that line. However, once the other European powers caught up to the first two powers and started sending out their own fleets, they all ignored the treaty so it didn't have much lasting effect outside of South America. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tordesillas
  4. The Pope brokered an agreement between Portugal and Spain as to how to carve up South America.
  5. Oh man maybe I should turn the Horror folder back on, that's buddy's favorite.

  10. that really sucks and I hope it's a mild case but at least you have us while you're under lockdown!
  11. reg was turned off, but deus def has an account already if he is the aforementioned buttkraken
  12. what did you do
  13. I believe it was Super Mario Sunshine. The next door neighbor kid borrowed it one time and never brought it back. At this point, he no longer lives there and I am also assuming he is no longer a kid.
  14. I picked the first one bit only if you wear your mask
  15. Has she ever been able to articulate her emotions to the therapist or otherwise to shed possible light on triggers etc? Like I assume it's not a blind rage, where a switch flips. Or is that a wrong assumption?
  16. That being said I started picking up shells yesterday for a nookmiles task (really the first time since the original I bothered cuz there's more lucrative stuff out there), so I had an inventory full of shells today and I caught anny first arowana while standing on a bridge. Turns out you can't drop items on bridges so I tragically had to release it which means I have to catch another for Blathers.
  17. I have been playing less than previous games at this point in the lifecycle (maybe once or twice a week for no more than an hour, rather than daily), but at the same time I'm recognizing (a) it is an iteration on the same game I've already binge played on and off for nearly 20 years, (b) I've got a very efficient routine down when I play, and (c) I'm a grown ass man with other things to do than play games all the time.
  18. Per re0, Dr. Marcus started testing on the children in the training facility because he wasn't getting the data/results he wanted from other animals.
  19. I didn't play the original 1996 game but I don't recall it ever not being that the "death" was just the body going catatonic during the virally enduced metamorphosis. But I could be totally wrong because I'm rusty on literally everything but re0 and the re1 remake.
  20. It just seems arbitrary even limiting to just this one franchise, rather than the entire genre. In the re1 in-game lore, there are entries that indicate how the infection took it's course over a period of days, but then in re0 the zombies on the train reanimated in a matter of hours (and minutes, in the case of Edward). I suppose they may be distinguishing between methods of infection - the re1 outbreak was presumably inhaled by the first victims (they never went into specifics), versus the re0 train passengers being infected by leeches (and Edward by the dogs) transmitting the virus directly into the bloodstream via bites. I'm on re2 now (the recent remake and not the original) and it's been a good fifteen years since I played any of the other ones, so I'm rusty on subsequent lore on the science of it all. One of the things I liked about the series as a teen was it's seemingly consistent canon lore, but replaying as an adult it seems a lot less rock solid. To the extent we're talking the viral kind, I think it makes more sense to take longer. The immune system tries (and fails) to fight it off so the victim has to go through those stages of feeling sick, all while continuing to persist despite the inevitability of it all. One of the things I am really appreciating about the re2 remake is that it is really doing a good job of, just through environment design an occasional lore entries, illustrating how the police station turned from a refuge into a hellscape as the sick survivors turned one by one, while rooms and hallways were barricaded off all to no avail because the healthy survivors continued to treat the sick. Like the effort put into that narrative makes it more interesting than the actual narrative of the game.
  21. I started replaying through the resident evil games a few months ago and it seems very arbitrary how different the rates of infection worked. Especially because of resident evil zero, where edward dies and turns in the span of like ten minutes in-game time.
  22. all the <33333333 right now
