  • The giant portions thing is a cultural left over in a lot of ways, food used to be cooked in a far more communal method and often combined supper and lunch then a snack later at night. For example apparently my 2x great grandfather ensured a small feast for him, my great grandfather, his wife (remarried technically not my ancestor), and all the temp workers during harvest. That’s not even getting into things like potlucks.

    As for sugar I blame the post war period, arguably the amount of sugar in shit has been decreasing slowly since the 90s but it’s a slow generational thing.




  • Fallout NV

    While it may not be everyone’s cup of tea there’s something about playing NV with radio NV running and running around the emptier parts of the map, then I get jumped by a bunch Romaboo larpers.

    Arcanum

    While it’s immesian is a bit different it’s music and story telling can drag me in easily.

    Outer wilds

    Death is inevitable, so you may as well enjoy some music with your pals.




  • The Jedi were integrated into the Republic as a peacekeeping/ humanitarian/ advisery organization after Darth Bane more or less wiped out the Sith Brotherhood and much of the Jedi led Army of Light at the end of the New Sith Wars. Though both before and after the New Sith Wars there were points where there were Jedi chancellors or even the Jedi de facto taking over when the Republic more or less collapsed a couple time, not even getting into military leader like Revan, Surik, or Lord Hoth who held military positions within the Republic.







  • While this may be a post hoc explanation the Arnie Terminator variant was one of many variants, Skynet basically had an infiltrator with basically any race, ethnicity, build, or sex. Though I believe the Arnie variant was simply the most common/ oldest version that Skynet had, which mind you still makes Kyle Reese a dumbass but it does make it slightly more forgivable.

    Also who knows if he ever encountered an Arnie Terminator before what with the timelines slowly getting increasingly fucked in each subsequent loop, plus who knows what he knew of the old world since the dude was a soldier in a post apocalyptic conflict who may have been a kid or even unborn when the nukes went flying. For all he knows weird Arnie looking dudes being sus was normal.
