I need to replay Bastion. One of my all-time favorites, for sure.

“This can’t possibly be the same 9PM at which I once would prepare for outings.”

Does this work better, or am I crazy?

Okay so during halloween, there are these weird eyeball gummies that are not only unsettling to look at, but they also taste like sugary plastic. It’s by far the worst tasting candy I’ve ever experienced, including low quality black licorice and some weird wood bark candy.

FF16 is not an incredible game. But it sure is easy to button mash your way to a win, especially considering how good some of the trinkets are (acquired at start of the game). The music is solid, the writing is interesting enough, and the visuals are great, provided you can run it well.

If you can get your hands on a misty step scroll, invis potion + longstride/jump spell, speed potion, or dimension door, you can free Aylin in turn 1 (provided you freed her). Granted, that doesn’t make the fight a free win, but she sure can eat a lot of hits. Also, putting sanctuary on a full healer is very useful.

Exactly! So hot, so solid… and a little bit sick of course :)

I bet you have lots of friends! Hahaha

You know… you can pickle your own stuff, without HFCS, right?

And who are you, exactly? I don’t like pewdiepie, or at least I haven’t since I was a literal teenager. He’s a strange person with a strong ego at times, but I’m all for more mainstream exposure to de-Googling, linux, and self-hosting. Just take the win.

Not a movie, but RATM is my favorite example of this. Or the Punisher.

Not because they’re required to, but because their console platform is dying lol. I mean, I welcome the changes, but I’m sure long-time Xbox users are not as happy with it.

Pick a name and use it for every guard, except switch the first consonant every time.

They will get a kick out of it a few times, and then slowly learn that there’s no point in asking the guard’s name.

Lambert, Hambert, Tambert, Kambert, and Dambert all come from a long lineage of esteemed city guards :)

Battery degradation. Wired earphones/headphones can be BIFL if treated properly. A typical wireless device will see battery degradation within a handful of years, and I have yet to see a decent TWS solution with replaceable batteries.

I remember in ARK you would periodically shit a sphere. I forget what it can be used for though. It is definitely a game mechanic :)

There are still a few use cases… mainly price. A 4TB 2.5" HDD can be had for less than a bottom-of-the-barrel 2TB NVME.

But I would definitely hesitate to bring spinning drives on a bumpy ride.

Frozen blueberries are heavenly. If you rinse them with water and let them sit a few minutes, they sometimes develop a thin icy shell. Immaculate.

My microwave has a half minute add button, but it takes 2-3 seconds to accept another press of the same button. This condition is not true for any other button on microwave.

I just manually type in my times now.

I don’t despise paid DMing as much as you do, but I agree that it’s negatively shifting the expectations of hobbyist/enthusiast DMs and commodifying what was originally a personal investment into a social group.

In addition, a paid DM is more inclined to make conditions favorable for the players… as they do not want to get fired from that role.

It’s true that DMing can be hard work and that the DM will spend many more hours on DnD than anyone else in the group, but last time I DM’ed, my friends ran a food rotation (usually big macs or taco bell) and I always ate for free :)

Burgers won’t make me fudge dice to keep the party happy, but a paycheck sure would.

But if their argument is that you can simply ignore mods you disagree with, then those individuals should stop brigading against and whining about, say, a mod that enables queer relationships. As their own arguments imply, they can simply ignore those mods.

They should really pick a side instead of cherrypicking what’s convenient for them.

Welp. Almost all of the conversations I’ve read about this change have devolved into “hopefully the new owners don’t enforce their political views.”

They always say shit like “if you don’t like a mod, don’t use it,” but they can’t wrap their heads around the idea that if they can’t tolerate the (ex-)site owner exercising his own moral beliefs, they can find a different platform.

Fun.
