I think you make a good point but the pace is slower than necessary to achieve these artistic benefits. It’s an overall detriment to the show when you keep squeezing a method that has no juice left. Emotional impact received, then sank in, then 20 more minutes on top? A bit too far I think. Narrative devices have diminishing returns, they pushed it so far that it looks like incompetence.

Please share the name of the 2D game from 2012, always looking for good recommendations

That il2cpp stuff gives me a big headache though. I guess you could consider that a kind of obfuscation.

Dang, I had never heard of this one. A shame but maybe some folks like me will hear about it for the first time and chip in. 6k out of pocket every month is wild, is that a realistic cost? I can’t even imagine being in a place to consider shelling that out.

Not even about the single player for me at all. I probably put a thousand hours into the multiplayer. It just kept giving you more the more you were willing to put into it. It was insanely deep and the mind games were unreal. Even better that it was still the days before SBMM, so you could really see the skill gap. You’d demolish newer people and then get absolutely dumpstered two games later, learn things you didn’t know were possible.

And I can’t stress enough that there was voice, so not only did a spy grabbing you make a bong that scared you enough to poop your pants if you were laser focused. They could say stuff to you, or worse whisper it to you and then break your neck.

Strange loops

Wow that’s so interesting. I’m excited to try it, thanks for showing me some cool new ideas.

Spearmint!?

How did a guy like that ever end up married to a lady named Moon Child?

I’m not quite sure about this one. I think that the current design on the reverse is an issue. But the front doesn’t seem to break any laws.

I’m assuming they print these under subsection Y of 31 U.S. Code § 5112 - Denominations, specifications, and design of coins. Which pertains to these 250th anniversary coins.

The part I see mentioned in this thread frequently applies to a separate subsection for a run of $1 presidential find that has since ended.

If you just read subsection Y in vacuum, they are good to go. This part at the bottom though says that the reverse can’t be a ‘portrait’.

So this isn’t really slam dunk illegal, but I don’t think that the draft of the coins reverse will make it to print. I would fully expect the front to come out just like that though based on my interpretation.

(aa)Standards and General Provisions for Circulating Collectible Coins Under Subsections (x), (y), and (z).—

(1)Prohibition on certain representations.—

No head and shoulders portrait or bust of any person, living or dead, and no portrait of a living person may be included in the design on the reverse of any coin under subsections (x), (y), and (z).
