Another issue over here is that the selection wasn't all that large and most of the stuff was expensive on account of import, if anything else. So pretty much everything was higher shelf stuff for us.

Very sad. But good at the same time. Don't drink that gasoline! I have two bottles of the same decently high shelf bourbon in my house I still have yet to open. Something with a buffalo on it. Had it like 4 years ago at a new year's party and said, "Hey this is pretty good" and my family was like oh a bourbon he didn't know about? Let's buy him some as a gift! Without realizing I probably won't drink it lol.

That rubberish feeling cheese they also sell in SE Asia. And some powder milk (Milo), also marketed a lot. Similarly how they sell some weird diluted/oversugared honey with lots of marketing. But in SE Asia it's oft too hot to make much milk from dairy cattle as I understand and I have never seen any domesticated bees either, so there's that. US supposedly IS NOT in tropics (aside Florida, who has more alike climate, I guess) though, which makes their cheese deficit weirder.
Feel free to send both bottles to me.

Monkey Shoulder and Screwball are good. Screwball peanut butter whiskey is the only one I can drink straight without gagging. The rest have to be mixed.
I'm a bastard. I love Jim Beam.
Me too! High five!
Von Drunky high five!

Here's one- 10mm pistols are absolutely OP irl. Theyre regularly used as self defense weapons against bears and sometimes it feels like Fallout undersells how strong 10mm is. Ive fired a Springfield XDM in 10mm and it damn near felt like firing a .44 magnum. If anything, it's slightly about .45 acp in terms of power
There was at least one ancient, highly advanced civilization which had spread all over the world, traces of which can be found in megalithic structures, but this civilization disappeared due to a catastrophic event around 12000 B.C., the same period a shitload of animals went extinct.
That sounds like an episode of Ancient Aliens.
No aliens. Humans.

The "great filter" not being an extinction event, but a tech/civilization reset is such a fun concept. It's why I gravitated to tabletop Numenera so much. Theres so many things you can do with that setting.
I watched a video last night on the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter. Interesting stuff.
I do believe there is other life in the universe. However, humanity will be extinct long before we are advanced enough to find proof.
I could believe it. Well, depends on what you mean by "highly advanced." I don't think they were making plastics and other stupid chemicals that literally have no foreseeable way to break down, but they were likely doing things on a level we don't reasonably expect them to. The giant structures that seemed hard as fuck to build (Giza Pyramids, Incan Walls in Cusco, Peru) and the things we've found like the Baghdad Battery and the Antikythera Mechanism. People have been smarter for far longer than we give them credit for even if there wasn't a "highly advanced civilization" in 12,000 B.C. There is the whole Bronze Age collapse that we know of, there could have been more before then too. We've been estimated to have been around for 300,000 years and yet the Kish tablet is dated for around 3500–2900 B.C. so we're missing about 295,000 years of the modern human not having records that were able to stay intact to today if we exclude cave paintings. About 50,000 years ago we have what's our oldest cave painting and being generous we still haven't even gotten into the first two-thirds of our existence as we are as Homo sapiens.
I doubt they would have made giant underwater telecommunication cables or gone to the Moon, but they were not stupid either. Hell, I don't really think the modern human's life changed drastically until VERY recently. Think about how long we likely cultivated crops and raised livestock. Around 11,000-12,000 years ago or so? That's something that was pretty average, especially globally, for people in the 1800s A.D. No microwave, no TV, no refridgerator, no lights, no indoor toilet, maybe no indoor plumbing, no hot shower on demand, no dishwasher, no internet, no TikTok, and no hot chip.
alec you better be grateful for the modern world, you'd be smelling the most foul assholes ever back in the 1800s. But I guess the feet were mighty dirty too so maybe that'd be a blessing for you.
I like this one. Bathe her and bring her to my quarters.

Exactly. 300,000 years of time. Enough time for everything that was achieved to have disappeared again except for a few exceptional things and stories. Not talking about any alien or exotic technologies, but some stuff, like the giant structures all over the world and sites like Gobleki Tepe just scream 'You do not know the full story'.

Is that a quote from Stargate?
@topic, Prey (2006) is the #2 best FPS that I have played, (behind Monolith's Blood).
The remaining top five are all Build Engine games.

might be a good time to leave the internet and go to the real world. There's fascists there, I'm afraid. If someone is a fascist, I'll call them that. And hope that they get fucked.
