I actually clicked to see if it's a real site. It's not. Not even a parked one.

i tested it first, dont want the mods have to type anything extra

Something about stealthing around just feels so satisfying in cyberpunk (wish there was a way to abreviate this), and night city feels really fleshed out and fun to explore.

The mods that add a bunch of clothes and hairstyles are also great because I like to spend a lot of time customising my character's appearance, but I wish the game didn't make my PC sound like a jet engine.

Hey cowerack and anon_97978 or anyone else interested what are your guys' thoughts on the trailer for the second season of Edgerunners I just watched it and was interested in other people's thoughts?

Yup, the trailer for it just came out a few days ago. It's become an anthology show, as this season has a different cast of characters

Honestly I wasn't the biggest fan of the story in the first one, but I loved the animation, mind you I watched it before playing the game or knowing anything about cyberpunk tbh.

I am excited for the new season though, and going into it with some understanding of the lore of the cyberpunk series. Plus the new character designs look pretty sick, my favourite probably being Weak.

Happy Freedom Day!

What the fuck is a kilometer!

Feel bad for all the animals that primarily stay outside. Can't even leave my own pets outside for long.

Indoor pets only. Allergies unfortunately.

Good morning and happy Caturday. It's also 4th of July - which isn't particularly meaningful to anyone outside the US.

a kilometre is 0.6 miles & if the 2 last countries on earth would start teaching their citizens metric everyone would know that
the usa needs to stop using old math & start using it because its easier, no one likes dividing 3/8th by 13/16th

Happy (you got rid of the British governmental system day) America

We don't like it because we can't picture it without converting - which the conversion is often not easy to do in one's head (or remember how it's done.) I can imagine how a temperature feels hearing it in F, not in C. Same with length in US vs metric units, weight, etc. Liquid volume a bit different as wine/liquor (not beer) is sold in metric as are large soda bottles (2 and 3 Liter) - smaller are in US units. Medication is also in milligrams.

Honestly, the average american doesn't have the ability to switch to the metric system... it requires ability to adapt and set aside idiosyncrasies...
Does it make sense to standardize units of measurement with the rest of the world? Yes, that's why it's taught at the college level.
But the average person won't accept it because it requires admitting that the U.S. is wrong and the rest of the world is right and there no democracy in this century would tolerate such an unpopular measure

Since freedom units are so ingrained in people's daily lives I don't think America will ever switch to the metric system, which is fair enough. I don't think I could imagine myself switching to imperial either.

Good Morning, Fellow Conscripts and HAPPY 250th to EVERYONE!!!!!!!

i live in a country that metric is standard, since the 1970's i believe, i worked in the construction biz all my life, the only metric I've used is when building on or to the property line or when setting the concrete footings for a home or building as to be 100% precise.
every interior job is imperial measurements & the dozens of measuring tapes i own are all imperial. (except the 100 meter reel used for outdoor work which has millimetres on it too)

so I'm versed in both, i also do scientific things as hobbies & metric is the only way to go when doing scientific calculations.
there is no way to measure a micron (μm) in imperial measurements. which is one-millionth of a meter (10⁻⁶ m).

They were going to do it in the 70s in the US but there was too much backlash - politicians who wanted it voted out, protests, signs that were put up with metric units SHOT...

Is there a chat feature on this site? like chatting with other users over dm?

oh man, this is the same country that removed the silent "E" in many words & last names because it was easier to spell LOL
and removed the "U" from all British spelling to distance themselves from the monarchy.

see, no "u" in flavour

Spoiler

Hey, genuinely don't know where to ask this but- how does the content in Games + being behind a membership barrier prevent constant takedowns that happen on other sites? And even then, it seems very arbitrary when sites remove games for breaking their 'rules' even though the loli/shota categories still exist in many, and also have similar, if not the same features of gameplay that get others removed.

this is a public thread seen by anyone, even people that do not have an account & web crawler bots that index the data
this may not be the place to ask this & IMHO is better off removed from this thread because one can never be too paranoid in today's world
