Just got this thing last week, I love it so far. Still haven't figured out how to make good use of the back paddles on PC, but even without those it's a great controller.

I mean...duh? Basically the entire point of having different laws in different states is that people can choose what laws they want to live under. No one should be surprised that young people are considering that when choosing colleges.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but I feel like a world map is important. It doesn't have to be a work of art, even a rough sketch of a continent shape with a couple landmarks and a You Are Here sign will do. For me, being able to visualize a map of the world and my character's position on it helps me place my character in the context of the world. This is doubly true if your campaign has a lot of travel, as many do.

The downside is you're annoying everyone you drive past every day. Get a damn horn, that's what they're invented for.

Sure, but don't let that stop you from insulting him. The activity is its own reward.

Parallel worlds/multiverses. I hate them because it removes all stakes or consequences from the events of a story. Character died? Bring in a new version from another world. Inconvenient thing happened? Move to a world where it never happened. Nothing matters, nothing is canon, everything is reversible.

I wouldn't say it's great even there. If you want people to pay 20% more for their food so your workers can get paid, just list that on the menu. Raise all food prices 20% and pay the wait staff a decent wage. Customers pay the same in the end and your staff isn't dependent on customer generosity to make a living.

High rates of gun ownership is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for high rates of homicide. "Necessary" would imply that high homicide rate is flat out impossible without high gun ownership, which is clearly not true.

Twice the refresh rate means twice the frames, so I'm twice as productive.

Or at any rate, that's what I'm telling my job to try to get them to buy me a high spec gaming monitor.

Excuse me, I think you underestimate the ability of my everyday life to drive me toward madness and death. I don't need an eldritch horror/god to help me with that.
