Yeah that’s the key takeaway.
A billion dollars turns you into some kind of Duke, or Landed Noble.
Where you can like… buy a small army, take over a country, that sort of thing.
Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

TLDR: The body has a setpoint for weight which is tuned to environmental conditions and will attempt to reach it by modulating hunger.
It takes 8-12 months for these hormones to reset, so any diet is ineffective unless permanently maintained.
High setpoint? Prepare to be ravenously hungry all the time if you eat below your hormonal baseline.
The bottom right “art” in green is pure schizoposting, the “DMs from the divine” and then walls of text are typical of degenerative schizophrenia.
I’m sorry OP, they might be an art thief, they might be insane, maybe both.

21·2 months agoI can tell you without a doubt, if Russia claims something and is sketch about it, they’re almost certainly lying and the truth is the direct opposite thing.
It’s so easy to detect at this point, I’m not even sure why they’d do it other than to save face, or to go: “Look how stupid and scared our citizens are, we can boldly lie and they can’t say or do anything about it.”
I.e: Stories like: “Man falls off balcony after shooting self twice in the head, ruled accident”
Or uh, “Russian missile hits Kursk, Ukraine accused for the attack”
There’s new games out with the same vibe, try uh, Helldivers 2 or that WH40K: “Darktide”
This already happened.
There’s a story about a scout ship that landed in the Western Hemisphere of Sol 3, and they decided to talk with the locals.
They offered them anything they wanted from the unitary matter replicator, as a show of good faith.
Unfortunately the counselors had absolutely no idea what a “pothead” or “stoner” was and so the two humans left after each synthesizing a bushel (a long branch around 2 meters tall) of a cannabinoid dense Terran plant.
They lodged their reports that the species on Sol 3 wasn’t intelligent enough to understand technology given they requested herbs/plants from a machine that could produce literally any compound known to nature, including cures for many diseases afflicting their world.
The subchapter text was based on the vocalizations of the pair, who said: “Ayyy” followed by “Lah-Mao”.
:vivid shrug:
Anyone know the cost per kilogram?
Edit: Apparently $20,000/kg
Patch 1.2: Added mobile phones to Dreamlands
There used to be punishments for bakers adulterating flour to make profits; medieval communities were so reliant on the bread that the Lords went out of their way to regulate bakeries and ensure high wages for bakers to prevent that from happening (i.e: Adding chalk).

It could be 900 pages of Gollum Porn for all we know.

There’s a degree of motion capture where the animations just look like 90s FMV – it stops feeling like a game, and feels more like a video, if that makes any sense: the animations are too good.
There was a clear disconnect between the gameplay / custom animations in most games of that period (90s) and FMV, and many cited the developers inability or reluctance for animation in lieu of FMV as “cheap”.
See: Mortal Kombat Sprites.
It’s a difficult thing to explain and simply needs to be experienced; past the uncanny valley is the trough of disappointment or disillusionment.
Motion capture in Stalker 2 was done by obviously real human actors. It’s a video game, so you’re like “Oh cool, NPCs” but then you see the actual human actor behind the pixels and you’re like “Oh. Pre-recorded movie.”
The uncanny valley disappears and is instead replaced with mundane disappointment and a feeling of “cheapness”. Of course they used human actors for the animation, why wouldn’t they?
Never trade your magic of the unexplained for the easy disillusionment.
