Might give Cryptmaster a replay. The wit and charm on that one fits my kind of spooky vibe perfectly, since I’m not big on “traditional” horror games :)

Memento mori: “Remember you’ll die”

Nobody is immortal, anything can take you out. Excellent examples lol

You are awesome thank you for sharing all this context 😄

That all makes a lot of sense, there’s definitely similar concepts today where it’s understood that the dose makes the poison, so to speak.

I’ll have to check out that book it sounds fascinating, for sure

I miss PugJesus and their context/sources lol it’s hard to find anything off a Startpage search atm outside of the basic lead-made-the-Roman-empire-fall theory.

Speculating here - it’s possible that the ancient Romans who knew were about as equally numbered as today, but also like today, stubbornly willful ignorance and/or economic interests outweighed the voices calling for its cessation?

It could also be logistics - communications being fragmented and/or unable to source materials to replace the infrastructure rather than simply “not knowing”

Given how the oblivion remake sold gangbusters: no.

Given the popularity of “[insert neat thing] simulator” games, also no.

Sim games just don’t typically get enough funding to have deep-level narrative as much as they used to but there is a glaring thirst in the market for it.

Only on milk. Learned that one the hard way.

Refrigerated meat (namely poultry, don’t do red meat so idk) also mostly gets tossed after the one week mark but I have a weaker immune system. Although, living in the US I don’t like eating too much meat for that same reason.

Dry goods are fine unless there’s mold or bugs.

Everything else gets the sniff test, or only goes if there’s visible mold. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Pretty much an ancient Ben Shapiro, doing the publicity circuit on wifey’s dime

Pretty sure they’d do the same if they lived in the same circumstances long enough

Not a WASP but white with “ethnic” white heritage, and same.

I make a few of my grandma’s recipes every single holiday season because it’s just not right without them.

Hell, even my grandpa could cook when he felt like it lol, though I don’t think I can ever properly recreate his squid sauce.

It’s the metalhead rule. The “scariest” looking folks are usually big ol softies who will give you the shirts off their backs. They’re the good ones :)

Looks like private film school screening rooms with the carpeted walls

Plenty of age appropriate “birds and bees” books out there, this is a “packets and pings” one.
