Deer math 2: electric boogaloo

Assuming the good people of king's landing somehow manage to kill enough deer to reduce the total population by 10% annually (which means they kill 1,500,000 the first year, more than 4,000 EVERY DAY) it would still take twenty years to get the population density to something sensible

Eros: The Devotee {1/3}

[Their] main characteristic is permanent aspiration and desire. Even when [they seem] to give, eros continues to be a "desire to possess", but nevertheless [they are] different from a purely sensual love in being the love that tends towards the sublime. According to Plato, the gods do not love, because they do not experience desires, inasmuch as their desires are all satisfied. They can thus only be an object, not a subject of love. For this reason they do not have a direct relationship with man; it is only the mediation of eros that allows the connecting of a relationship. Eros is thus the way that leads man to divinity, but not vice versa.

It is wild to me that DA2, the (former?) black sheep of the Dragon Age series, significantly outsold Veilguard. This article gives the actual numbers and links directly back to its reference, an EA quarterly financial report which states that by May 4, 2011, Dragon Age 2 had sold over two million copies -- just under two months after it released. Conversely, in its first two months after release Veilguard "reached 1.5 million players," with no breakdown of how many players bought the game vs how many played via subscription service. The gap is even more stark when you factor in that Veilguard was on significant discount going into North America's biggest gift-giving holiday, while DA2 released in March. Since EA did put Veilguard on EA Play Pro from day one, they may have never expected it to hit 2 million in sales, and instead were banking on it bringing in new Pro subscribers who would come for Veilguard and stay for months to come based on the rest of the Pro library. But at 1.5 million total players, that almost certainly didn't happen, and a new subscriber would have to stay subscribed for four months to generate EA as much revenue as one sale. Love the game or hate it, this is a big blow for Bioware.

Thoughts on omega dazai lol?

oh BOY!!!! Why do you think he has underlying sexual tension with half the cast of bsd? Why did he put himself in essentially “princess who needs to be rescued” situations TWICE?! I’m pretty sure in Dead Apple and Mersault he was begging chuuya to mark him

Hey question is Calculator a WFA only villain or from the comics?

From what I found, he is the same as the Calculator who was created in the 70s. He was introduced in the extra story of Detective Comics 463 which was actually mainly focused on the Atom, although it featured a variety of heroes including Green Arrow, Elongated Man, and the Caped Crusader himself. He was created by Bob Rosakis and Mike Grell. Basically his whole schtick was that he had a suit that allowed him to "calculate" the moves of heroes and defeat them using hard-light constructs generated from a little projector on his head.

He returned in the Birds of Prey 2010-2011 run by Gail Simone, Marc Andreyko, and Ardian Syaf. I'm pretty sure it was particularly in the 'Death of Oracle' arc, as he is the main antagonist of that event, but don't quote me on that. It's here that he becomes the "Anti-Oracle" and causes the arc, growing closer and closer to discovering her identity as she buries herself further into hiding. I don't think the hard-light constructs are present here at all, I'm pretty sure he's just a really good hacker now but again I've not read it, so take that with a grain of salt. He's not exactly what I'd call "obscure" as he has appeared across different medias, but he's a relatively deep cut to include in the story nonetheless and I like the choice to take someone so specific for Babs' arc as opposed to just covering the paralysis trauma or using her brother or something.

This feels insensitive to put on someone else's post but the concept the person brought up was funny. 'If my coins doubled every time I looped...'

Well, I figured I'd check for The Bit, but the calculator said undefined when I tried to get my answer. Tragic.

Respawns back on his normal sized... Mech Sized cybersnake on top of his ship after a lil flying incident. Ah yes, finally, he can snap tiny squishies and smoll bots in half-- Too bad, there's no squishy or mech in sight to crush and consume at first glance.

I'm reading Crime and Punishment, does Raskolnikov have a borderline personality disorder? Because he doesn't seem to have a stable sense of self and of the world.
