    ive been to the catacombs but i dont recall seeing actual bone sculptures

    just a shitton of bones crammed into holes in the wall

    you want to see some serious chaos temple but irl shit you need to go to Czechia

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedlec_Ossuary

    apart from being impersonal - which isn't such a weird thing really, alike are we only in death etc - I can't help but think that it is actually quite the respectful treatment. Like, they're not just laid to rest in the church, they are the church.

    Aren't XCom hit chances seed generated?

    IE the roll has already happened before you take it

    Not in XCOM2, I don't think.

    At least, I noticed the couple times I save scummed that the outcome changes when you re-load the same turn.

    Also, I'm dying:

    I want to know what kind of permission the carpenter got. Was he told to create some weird art when the House of Schwarzenberg hired him to organize the bones or did he just decide to do that as a bonus?

    I avoided the worst of the stavanger christmas traffic this year but man, nothing has made me want my own car more

    there was some idiot who screeched out in front of me from a parking garage, and I just remember so well being annoyed at not hitting her

    because she didn't deserve me not hitting her, the only reason I stepped on the brakes was because it was my dad's car

    but if I had a shitty car with 500 dings on it, I'd be like I don't care about 501, she needs to learn what happens

    No random number generator that doesn't cheat a ton can conform to people's perception of what outcomes they should get.

    which is why game designers should not just use straight up random numbers.

    or if they do, make sure that there's enough rolls that averages start to play a part.
    Counterpoint: this is why game designers should use rng, because people deserve to have their monkey brains hurt.

    most turn based combat is already really weird and has nothing to do with reality so I say no

    use fire emblems true hit calculations (average of 2 random numbers against to-hit chance instead of just 1) so that it would be 98.10% instead ^_^

    20:00 on weekdays, 18:00 the day before a holiday (that includes sundays), nothing on holidays

    spirits and wine sales at the wine monopoly close at 18:00 when beer sales close at 20:00, 15:00 when it closes at 18:00

    yeah and also we have a state monopoly on wine and spirits but that's actually a boon, it's a better liquor and wine store than most

    Except Norwegians work fewer hours for the same pay with better vacation and benefits than their American counterparts. With that extra time you could swing by the liquor store.
