I have “all time fave” which are games I keep reinstalling every so often, then I have “installed” vs “not installed”

The category for favorites is just so when I inevitably go to look for a game to install because I’m bored with what I have, it’s at the top when I un-check the “installed” button.

Attorneys don’t just file a suit because their client said so: they generally need to be shown there’s an actionable case with a chance if winning

Man, I used to believe that.

The last 8 years have shown me otherwise.

As someone who paid enough attention in highschool chemistry to get a B, and occasionally watches Nile(red/blue) and E&I videos… I know some of these words/symbols!

I see no reason to “cut myself off” at any point, I still find games released in the last few years that look interesting, and some with release dates TBD that look neat.

I haven’t bought a new console since July 2015 and have no plans to buy a new generation any time soon.

When my current console dies, I might upgrade, but likely I will find a cheap used replacement and keep playing what I already have.

Someday I will update all my stuff, just not today.

Having just finished all 3 on my pc…

Dafuq you smokin, Bruh…

I will say though, 1 is the cluniest of them, for sure.

My parents don’t have flood insurance, but they live on a hill that’s about 150ft above the surrounding fields, and roughly 200-250ft above the closest waterway. If their house floods, then society has effectively collapsed in their state.

My sister and in-laws, however, all live within eyesight of the closest river or stream, and maybe 25-50ft above water level inside valleys. My wife’s sister’s house has had water get up to about 10ft away from the house, and STILL nobody has flood insurance.

SOME people can get away with it. Most can’t and don’t even realize it.

Yeah, but if they do reasonable things, then they can’t use her as an example/warning to intimidate persuade others to not protest except in perfectly acceptable, out of sight ways.

As someone who never planned on playing Balatro, and was kind of getting tired of seeing it on my feed the way I got tired of helldivers 2 stuff right after release.

I would happily toss a tenner to the dev for a lawyer over this.

Especially annoying for people with astigmathism

Good point. I get annoyed with the little lines on my windshield caused by the wipers in rain that make lights stretch a bit (idk how to better explain that), I can’t imagine how terrible it must be for people with astigmatism

I just drove to Michigan and back, saw maybe 5 vehicles, including a semi covered in lights.

One just had a single dollar store strand around the hood, one had followed all the panel lines on the car, and the others were just wrapped a couple times over the top and underside.

None were flashing or twinkling, just steady lights.

As long as they don’t flash or move while driving, honestly I don’t think a couple strands would be that distracting except maybe a double-take

I can see how this many lights would be distracting for some. I would definitely look more than twice, if I had space around me.

Still though I think I’d just ask them to leave most of the lights off while actually on the move at most.

Clearly they never spoke to Bobby Tables.

Part 1 is the first act

Oh my god I just now got what my sister meant by “the act break is super long” and why my mother replied “lol” in the family group chat.

Same.

I listened to the original Broadway cast so many times I was concerned I wouldn’t like a “cover” of it. After my sister said she liked it, and listening to a song and not finding it objectionable, I had even considered watching it.

This is the first I’ve heard of it being a two parter, so they hid it well. I’m surprised my sister didn’t say anything

Not a chance in hell I’m watching it until part two comes out in physical media so I can watch them both in one go. I hate breaking up the flow, even for a few hours while I wait for the next screening…

I’m absolutely sure there were at least four people on a crew going around to the reported ones, my point is a single person out for a stroll with a step ladder could do the same thing with barely any effort.

Incidentally, a single guy with a stepladder could totally cost the city another $1500 in about 10 minutes, and keep the crew in business.

1: this makes me want to travel 2,000 miles to stick every googly eye I have on every statue I can find

B- 1500 DOLLARS??? For SEVEN STATUES

Someone is ripping the city off, or someone in the office is stealing because that’s like… 5 minutes at each statue. 6 if you want to make sure no sticky residue is left.

A person can dream.

Make every company that has a whistleblower die in ANY way face extremely heavy penalties including, but not limited to: 75% taxing on all income for a period of time as part of a fine, jail time for executives, board members, and potentially large shareholders, potential nationalization of the company, etc

Make every company afraid to have a whistleblower die. Make them want to hire private security and pay for all health expenses to ensure the person lives because the alternative is the company ceases to exist in any way that benefits those in charge.

I thought that was the expectation?

They introduced us to a younger Witcher that the Geralt was training, Geralt’s story came to an end…

It felt like that’s what they were intentionally setting up, a totally Ciri-focused next game.

“tech enthusiast” vs “IT guy” in a nutshell.

Tech enthusiast: a little privacy breach is okay, as a treat for the headphones I already paid them money for. It’s not their fault their app wants to know these things. It’s mostly all good.

IT guy: shoot it 417 times after you uninstall it to make sure it’s truly no longer on your phone.

Side story: I forgot my good earbuds at home one day and decided I didn’t want to hear tools all day, so I bought a new pair at the store I was working at that day. 2 minutes later I’m at the counter again to return them because they wanted me to download an app and wouldn’t pair without it. Bought a $1 pack of earplugs instead.

It’s too convenient, basically all the circumstantial evidence they would need to pin it on someone was found on the person who knows they’re the target of a manhunt? Not likely.

Having seen security from the place the police suspect stayed and the ceo video, it’s clearly not the same person. It someone who vaguely could be mistaken from a distance. Too much doesn’t match for me to ever vote anything other than not guilty.

The only thing that man is guilty of as far as I am concerned is having an extra sharp chin. And that’s not a crime last I checked.
