Makes me wonder if there's an easy way to get the car to start using a lot more bandwidth. Make the deal not worth it for the carriers anymore. Something that could be distributed for use on many cars, maybe used to give free internet to a wifi mesh in the vicinity of any of those cars.
Reminds me of the time my GM buddy wanted lunch at school and offered me 3 capital ships in our SW RPG game if I bought him a taco salad. So I did and then promptly lost two of them in a battle that was more of a cutscene than anything else.
I was pissed but whatever the one ship ended up being fun.
So later, in another game, I did the same for a submarine. Again, same session, we found the enemy on land after searching around in the sub. So we get out and have this epic battle where our characters take out a goblin army or something. Then we go to get back in the sub. "You never said you turned it off, so it's gone." So what we breached the surface and all tuck and rolled to get off of it, no roll to avoid getting sucked in to the propellers or anything?
I think that's about when I just went back to playing magic most of the time at lunch at school.
You could privately talk to your GM and say your character wants to cover all of their bases, so just like batman, spends time strategizing about how to defeat the other party members and making preparations in case they betray the group or him. Like a ring of concentration that also has an anti-magic curse activated when the correct word is spoken in its vicinity for the mage, secretly planted on the body of a mob that your character manages to get to before the party loots.
And then, of course, you're in a position where you could betray the party and surprise even the GM.
Though a counter argument to what you're saying is that deception games are a thing and the players knowing that there are enemies in the group doesn't make those games trivial to figure out. A deception RPG could be interesting to play.
Most problem those give tend to be turn it on and it says, "hey I'm not so sure you put a game in me, would love to play one for you, though!" Or "I think this might be a game or it might just be a weird blue pattern because the connection is there but only partially".
At least the NES was like that. You had to know the ritual to put the cartridge in correctly and that ritual changed. I don't ever remember having a ritual with my N64.
Though humans are more destructive to their local and remote environments by a faaaaar margin but it is considered a serious crime to go around neutering them.
I wouldn't say "obviously" because I wouldn't put it past the GOP to just have some refuse to vote along just to blame their opponents for the fallout, especially when they wanted that fallout in the first place.
Just for clarity, if every single R votes yes and every D voted no, would the budget pass? Of does it require a larger majority that the GOP doesn't have?
The people driving opinions like that don't need to wait until after work to pick up their groceries. The less well off ones can go pick it up during work while the better off ones let their chef hire someone to take care of keeping enough fresh ingredients stocked.
My school must have really had to stretch for their "bad example" because it was an alcoholic whose horror story was having to ride the bus to boot camp with a nasty hangover, including puking out the window, and how loud the gunshots were at the shooting range. Sure, it didn't sound fun, but it also didn't sound that bad to feel sick for a bit and his real problem was signing up for the military (which tbf might have also happened when he was drunk and might have been the point of the story that went over my young head). Hangovers mostly sound bad to people who have experienced hangovers before.
Would be funny if that failed star was actually an alien megaproject but we think it's a natural explanation that means a planet teeming with ancient life is assumed to be barren like the rest of them.
Is there a name for that, when something very interesting is mistaken for something very uninteresting? Not that a failed star full of biosignature molecules sounds uninteresting, do they have any explanation for that?
Two thirds, either by volume or weight. We guarantee the lesser of the two but strive to exceed both!
