She mistakenly thought they were snake people. Easy error to make.

She brought a bag of chips and just will not stop noisily eating while you’re trying to nap, obviously.

Her hair looks so nice, I’d have a hard time not wanting to touch it, even knowing it’s venomous poisonous. Maybe rather than a stone gaze, her gaze inflicts a variant of Command, compelling you to touch her hair. I’ve been afflicted. Additionally: Maybe she can’t control it, and she hates that about herself; she can never form meaningful relationships without inadvertently poisoning everyone she grows attached to. She’s a sympathetic character and the adventure revolves around trying to find a way to lift her curse without falling victim to it yourselves.

He’s trying to bait-and-switch you into watching a private screening of Coyote vs. Acme.

They’ve already done it, so what weight do their demands hold? Are they going to go remove all of the raisins if their demands are met?

And who’s paying her to keep quiet about it?!

Having ‘rule’ in the title isn’t even on the list of rules! This cannot be allowed to stand!

This would legitimately be the greatest prank anyone could ever possibly pull. It wouldn’t even have to be 8 billion, just enough for everyone they could possibly interact with for a few days after landing. And they’d all have to really commit to the bit. I think this is the one thing that can truly unify us as a species.

You’ve stated some assumptions that are wrong. Maybe revisit some things you assume to be true. You might learn differently.

Edit to provide a bit more (non-spoiler) context:

• Maybe consider focusing on the investigation board, and filling in anything you’ve not yet uncovered.
• You ‘can’t be bothered’ with something important. Maybe you should be bothered.
• Maybe try to confirm some of your suspicions about various things. You might learn something new.

There’s no joke; the 4th choice (in addition to 25%, 25%, 50%) is arbitrary; it could be 0%, 100%, or anything other than 25% or 50%. The only purpose it serves is to be a 4th option (thus making the probability of choosing any individual answer 25% when choosing randomly).

The question would work just as well if it had 3 options:

1/3, 1/3, 2/3.

If I click the direct-to-image link I posted, it takes me directly to the image. If I click your link, it takes me to the 404. Very weird!

Seems to work fine for me - imgur link is: https://i.imgur.com/9IlC6xy.png

Does that link not open for you? Now I’m really just curious why you can’t see it. Are you perhaps using a VPN that might have been blacklisted?

Alternate version, which I unabashedly wear out in public:

I love how even in your dream, the third party candidate is still a senior citizen. Couldn’t break too far from reality.

My kid was quite small for his age when he was in little league, and he was awful at baseball - I think he maybe got 2 or 3 hits the entire time he was playing, but because he was so small, he had a really tiny strike zone, and he pretty quickly realized that if he just never swung at anything, he’d get on base every single time. It was kind of funny, in a sad kind of way.

Not what I was expecting!

“What’s in the box?!”

“It’s kittens!”

Upon first look, I thought this was depicting a very tall forest creature with a pink stomach and very prominent black nipples and green spindly arms standing in the shadows in the background bashfully holding some leaves up in front of its face. I’m sorry.

Silly bunnies are preferable to humans in almost all cases!

I’ve been trying to make the switch for years and just recently decided to bite the bullet when I replaced some hardware, going linux-only. There’s surprisingly few games that don’t work in Linux, even if they require a bit of tinkering to get there. Especially if you play mostly indie games (since DRM and anti-cheat seem to be a big reason for many of the ones that don’t work in Linux). My feeling is that there’s enough games out there (and unplayed ones in my library, even) that if I can’t play a few AAA titles on Linux, I can just use that as a reason to skip them entirely.

Edit: If you’re playing Steam games, you need to check “Enable Steam Play for all other titles” in Settings -> Compatibility. This makes it try to use Proton to play things that it hasn’t verified will work, which works for most things.

For non-Steam games, if you use Lutris, it can largely handle installation including compatibility layers via WINE or whatever else for you. Makes the process very painless.

One of those two use cases apply to about 95% of games I’ve tried, including stuff like old games from GoG (even DOS games that use GoG-supplied compatibility tools run fine, surprisingly).

Can you maybe provide some links to examples? I haven’t seen any of this.
