I like how the text weasels around having to mention the name of “The famous explorer and former director of the USGS”. The Egyptians are a nice touch too.
Thankfully, when it comes to archaeology, there is no shortage of archaeologists getting pissed at this sort of bullshit that denigrates their field and their work.
On top of that, it’s gotten armchair experts to damage important sites to “prove” aliens were there or whatever.
If you’re interested, this is one of my most cherished books. I got it in college for a class and I’ve re-read it several times. The author of it actually frequents the group I get most of these posts from, so I got to tell him how much it’s meant to me over the years. I highly recommend it.
The black piece in front is the nozzle where your drink comes out of the metal bit at the back is the thing you push your cup onto to dispense the drink
The disc is 100% trash. People that buy this want the cards, keychains, and (especially) the exclusive in-game items.
I am surprised that it doesn’t also come with some in-game premium currency, though.
As for $40 in-game… That alone is going to net you some trash. You’ll pull a lot more on the free gems you get just for exploring and playing. Sure, you could get a great character, but the odds are back-loaded so that you generally won’t pull a 5-star in the first 70 pulls. $40 is like 40 pulls, maybe?
It depends on how you spend it. The best bang for the buck top-up pack - the $99 one - works out to about 20 pulls per $40 (this includes first-time purchase bonus). If you spent your $40 on the $5 monthly subscription (and logged in every day to claim it) it would work out to 160 pulls for your $40 - but it would take you 8 months to claim.
Yeah, at least some in-game currency is really the least they could have done if you’re gonna pay money to just get the base game to begin with since it’s F2P (pay-to-win) otherwise. Complete waste of money even for people who play and regularly spend money on these types of games.
Miners WISH they had deposits the size of the grand canyon.
Imagine the tailings storage facility, lmao. I know, it’s the Great Salt Lake! That explains the high metal content from the windblown sands as it dries out
I heard an ancient order in 1645, but there was nowhere to store that much. So they buried it in what we call “copper mines” all over the world. Using forgotten old world technology. Really these are just ancient caches to keep the copper market under control. The order would unearth new caches every few years. All this was discovered by our founding fathers and the locations were recorded in the declaration of independence by Benjamin Franklin. The secret was well kept for years and only shared only within the elite order of Free Masons, called the The Coppers. Just to distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.
