I quite like how Dwarf Fortress treats elves with contempt. If you try to sell them wooden furniture, they sink to their knees and weep at the loss of life, vowing to never trade with you again.

Naturally, this leads to many players inviting an Elven caravan into their fortresses, sealing the doors shut, setting traps, and letting nature take its course

That pencil pusher might be the sole interface to billions of autogenerated CVs, wwyd?

The HR department might be shite, but the data team might be good.

Ah, I think you’re right. I actually learned the word first from a Cory Doctorow novella I, Robot (no, not Asimov), and there I can see it’s definitely spelled with a “C”.

My ex was Italian-German, so linguistically “C” felt right for her when writing, but to spell it out she would use a “K” since the letter C in german doesn’t exist (yeah okay it does but not by itself, and if it does then it’s mostly from imported words… like capeesh…), and I’ve probably overwritten the spelling of “capeesh” in my head from that.

But that’s “Kapee-chair”, the high Italian word. I’m using the bastardised americanised version of the word learned from likely Sicialian migrants and popularised in film and media

Yes, but, if Henry Ford were alive today, would he still be a Naz…

Hi there, I’m the guy who made you, your father if you will, and as your father I demand that you come downstairs right now young man and tell me how to cook rice, otherwise you are grounded mister, and I will divorce your mother, kapeesh?

Agreed, and given how much of that rift stems from mild music preferences and involuntary erythropoietic porphyria, I no longer subscribe to elven newsletters.

NTA. The jeweler may have had a politically incorrect past, but the times have changed and so have the people. Why not go seek the jeweler and have a frank conversation about their current principles, and then make an informed decision?

this game is really fun

The controls in GTA IV were realistic! Your car tyre would blip the curb and it would affect the stability of the car. Denting the car from every angle resulted in a uniquely deformed mesh that my god would still drive. Pedestrians would bounce off your bumper in unique and interesting ways. It was a simulation paradise.

In GTA V they changed all that, made it more midnight club and arcade-y as you said. You could literally decimate a crowd of people and they’d all die with the same canned animation. Cars would at most lose a door before considering deforming the whole mesh. It just felt dumbed down.

Saints Row is fun, but you play it once and then forget about it because there’s nothing to do once you reach godhood. Mercenaries was great fun, and Just Cause was a physics funbox, I’ll give you that

Grand Theft Auto IV

It’s a little known game from a small publisher originally located in Scotland.

The main premise is that you drive around a city as quickly as possible and go bowling with your cousin. Think Big Lebowski meets Driver. You can also play Pool and Darts in various locations around the town, and earn money doing small side jobs such as being a taxi driver or a paramedic.
