I assume the standard “I didn’t wait to see the reviews” cosmetic that all pre-orders seem to give people these days

Oh don’t get me wrong, our intrepid adventurers are going to have to spend a good chunk of time on this with no guarantee they live long enough.

However assuming knowledge isn’t a gap (given they already built a time machine), iron ore is fairly abundant in many areas of the world, and it’s relatively straightforward to build a kiln that would reach the appropriate temperatures to smelt the iron into bloom (that can be hammered into workable iron)

It’ll take many, many years, but assuming they can avoid ending up as food, it doesn’t seem impossible

Assuming Dr. Stone is some kind of MacGyver regen:

Two obvious approaches to me that I’ll run through in high level: build a wind/watermill generators or potato/lemon batteries

First thing you’ll need to figure out for both is how to make some wire. That’s going to require finding some metal ore and a hot furnace, and creating a few tools out of stone to work with it.

The biggest difficulty with the former two is going to be finding some ferrous metal to turn into magnets. You can make a magnet without electricity by smashing the shit out of some iron as it’s aligned with the earth’s magnetic field, and it’ll become a weak magnet. From there with enough wire, you can build a generator. With the sails of the mill, you can build that out of wood and foliage.

For potato or lemon batteries, you’re going to need a shitload, as they give you about a volt and a pretty tiny current, but theoretically you could figure something out that way with enough. I imagine some things may want to eat your batteries though

Does anyone else have it where they see an image of the guitar hero neck and instantly get the intro to “through the fire and flames” in their head

I played so many songs on that game, why not some variety, brain!

And to save you jumping around different VPN countries looking for it:

I have something similar with my phone plan

My current plan (that I’ve been on for about 7 years now) includes unlimited everything and global roaming across basically anywhere I’ve ever visited (only had to get a separate ESIM once)

I’m regularly getting offers from them to switch to a plan with limits and more restricted roaming for only an extra 25% more a month…!

Once again, the war on drugs has come up with new and novel ways of amplifying human suffering

If we treated drug use as the health problem it actually is, criminal gangs would not have remotely the same levels of funding or, apparently now, people available to them.

Hmm assuming the disk isn’t super scratched up, I’m thinking you need to configure the region correctly.

I think if it was a decryption error, you’d have something different to a read error on what looks like one of the first blocks.

I remember there’s a cli utility for setting the region that you should be able to get from your package manager, I can’t remember the name off the top of my head

Edit: reread your post, regionset rings a bell actually. If it’s not available in your package manager, perhaps try building it from source

…erm

£12,898 according to SteamDB at today’s prices

In my defense I’ve had my account for 20 years and had humble bundle monthly/choice for like a third of that time, so the real number is hopefully not quite that

A 128GB blu ray should be sufficient for basically any game

Up to 256GB over two disks should be more than enough

The other comments give the answer, but if you’re interested in the history of them, the Wikipedia article has a good bit of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine

What is the error that VLC gives you?

I don’t think the product actually existing is something scammers are typically concerned about

I mean, you’re kinda describing what they actually did

Google music was less killed, more rebranded as YouTube Music (but they did launch new app UIs at the same time that were missing various features from the old ones,). I’ve still got the same library of music I uploaded in Google Music that doesn’t exist in their standard library, and you can still upload today.

Being able to have my hundreds of playlists from over the years complete with all the obscure remixes and unreleased bootlegs on them, is pretty much the only reason I still use it over something like Spotify

I wonder if there was ever a “rent” button next to the “buy” button for when these movies were sold

It feels like it should be pretty black and white to get a legal pushback for this, at least in countries with consumer protections

“in a lab”, or “in nature”

This distinction is meaningless for the purpose of this conversation

They said octahedral molecules, those are common enough that I think you find several kinds of them in mineral water.

compound

Compounds are not molecules

(slightly funny for me to say this on a greentext comm, but)

I hope you don’t go around actually saying that to overweight people who are working hard on improving themselves, you might as well be saying:

“What are you even bothering for? You’ve fucked it. Game over. Damage done.”

And for a percentage of those people, that’s going to be the line that does make them give up on improving themselves.
