Not knowing anything about the game, $8 for a PC game is not unreasonable, though raising the price after the fact is a little questionable and it sounds like the dev mispriced his original creation and is trying to correct for that. Though, if he had called it “early-access” and then doubled the price it would just be accepted as normal.
Sure, the first year (or two) of COVID were wretched, but most of those barriers have since cleared — yet I’m still struggling. I’ve noticed the same with a number of people within my family and neighbourhood....
My kids are getting to the point where they’re either past believing in Santa or on the cusp of realizing what’s going on (if they haven’t already), otherwise I don’t really do much Christmas stuff with adults outside of work. I haven’t felt anything for Christmas for years apart from getting gifts for kids. The only big benefit is time off from work.
This was actually a fairly stress-free year present-wise. I got all my shopping early and stuff wrapped except for one last-minute thing I need for my son due to delayed shipping.
Every step of the way has some new frustrating way to confound the user. I was laughing/crying halfway through the process because of how stupidly unfriendly the design was. Just brilliant. Whoever did this is an evil supergenius and/or heavily into BDSM.
On the iOS app, is there a way to see a “trending feed” or something that that lets me see beyond who I’ve followed? I followed like one or two people and it feels like my feed now only ever shows stuff from them now.
Yeah, from having to walk behind all these slow m.f.ers. I can’t even imagine what kind of slow-motion hell The Flash lives in, having to sit through Zootopia sloth conversations evvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrryyyyy ffffffffuuuuuuuuuccccccccckkkkkkkiiiiiiiinnnnnngggggg dddddddddaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy.
I’ve been sticking $30 in pennies up my ass for the past 11 years. That’s 3,000 pennies a day, 21,000 pennies a week, 1,092,000 pennies a year. To date, that’s 12,012,000 pennies. Eight times the population of Nebraska. Those pennies were in my ass! You think you’re better than me? Oh, you’re not better than me. You handle my ass pennies every day. You pick up my ass pennies for good luck. You throw my ass pennies in fountains and make wishes on them. You give my ass pennies to your little daughter to buy gumballs with. You handle my ass pennies every day. All of you! You ALL handle my ass pennies! Oh, I’ll laugh at you before you can laugh at me. Because your pennies have been in my ass.
I was running a D&D campaign for my son before and the two most liked NPCs were two goblins. One was a snivveling little companion who was actually a decent, though stupid goblin. The other goblin was a conniving, manipulative little shit that would backstab the group at any opportunity, yet they couldn’t ever bring themselves to kill him. Voiced them pretty differently with almost opposite personalities. It’s so great having characters that get that kind of reaction.
Yeah, neither right has anything to do with the other and I’m not even sure what the expectation would be for answers. Left-wing: “Of course I’d give up 2A for abortion access.” Right-wing: “Hell no, I won’t give up 2A to kill babies.” Regardless, it’s not something that would ever happen anywhere in the US.
Maybe a more interesting question would be “What rights would you be willing to give up for safety and security?” Or “What would you be willing to sacrifice for a right you enjoy now or would want to enjoy in the future?”
DC tried launching into their own DCU way too fast. Whereas Marvel setup most of the major characters beforehand and let it simmer for a little bit before jumping into the ensemble movies, DC just tried jumping right into their cinematic universe. DC just can’t seem to do anything right when it comes to their movies unless by accident (or if it’s an animated movie). Maybe James Gunn will be able to turn it around and put together something cohesive, but it’s hard to tell where anything starts or stops with DC now, it just feels like a convoluted mess. Plus, the whole superhero movie trend may be dying out anyways thanks to Disney’s/Marvel’s lazy writing.
Such a great movie that should’ve launched at least a trilogy, it was so much better than the Stalone movie, it kept the stakes relatively low, just a day-in-the-life sort of story, but did some great world-building. No “end of the world” stakes or anything silly, just some Judges trying to clear out a building, one apartment building in a mega-city.
Almost any meat or dairy products they’d be eating would questionable in that movie. How are the carnivore animals surviving? Do they just eat tofu? Or is there some sort of population of slave animals that are kept un-evolved that are born & bred for meat/dairy products?
I love bridges. If I see a cool looking bridge, I want to cross it, especially if it goes somewhere that I’m not familiar with. Same with stairs outdoors. They feel like an adventure to me.
Seeing furniture left out for trash pickup. As soon as I see it I immediately start plotting out how I could transport it and where it would fit in my house or what it could replace. Though in all likelihood, I never need it and I really never pick any of it up.
Thrifting too is a “thrill” sometimes when you find something really good, but you have to wade through alot of crap and anymore the prices are less likely to be a deal.
Ahh, you can trust the guy who single-hand-idly drove twitter into the ground and pushed a shit sheet metal meme car. He doesn’t know anything about anything, but you can trust him with brain surgery.
Really though, anyone that thinks this is a good idea and signs up for testing probably deserves the lobotomy they’re going to end up with.
One day the internet will be filled with indecipherable images whose meanings will be lost to the sands of time, but people will just keep posting them out of tradition because “that’s just what you do.”
Frank Reynolds (1876 in London - April 1953) was a British artist. Son of an artist, he studied at Heatherley’s School of Art. His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1928 Summer Olympics. He also contributed to Punch magazine....
Yeah, you just need to be born with the right genetics, be charismatic, and have media empires pushing you as a heartthrob in tv/movies/social media, and you too can be desired by women. Totally not out of the realm of possibility for most men. This just takes the idea that men have to be muscle-bound hunks to “get women” and puts it further outside the realm of possibility by replacing it with “Hollywood” hearththrobs. At least being a musclebound hunk is semi-possible if I dedicated my life to working out and bulking up 8+ hours a day. I doubt there’s anything I can do to achieve Pedro Pascal’s level of fame in my lifetime.
Pretty much the title. I’ve been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality....
It would depend on how the power actually functioned, but my descent into time-stopping degeneracy would probably happen in stages. I would take care of money first, doing whatever to get my house paid off and. Basic needs taken care of for life. Not really sure the quickest and/or easiest way, but robbing a bank maybe? Though that seems a bit too out there for me. Maybe money doesn’t even matter when you can freeze time, you can just grab whatever you want anyways, apart from paying your rent/mortgage. I’d still work my job, but my weekends would probably last awhile. Hell, I’d probably take a day off in between each day. Probably the biggest danger with time-stopping is that I’d prematurely age from all the extra time I’d be taking off (assuming I aged normally while time was still).
I would assume that it only affected those things that immediately led to the character’s death in the first place, but what’s the cut-off point (so to speak)? If I lost a finger earlier in the same battle, does that regrow, even though the finger by itself isn’t what led to my death? What if earlier in the day I lost a toe? And then also, what if you cut somebody down the middle and cast it on both halves (say at the same time)?
Ahhhktually, this meme did not occur in the meeting between the group and Darth Vader in the dining hall. It occurred between Lando and Vader when discussing the plan.
