My level 1 Elden Ring run. I’m up to Morgott, and I really should run around to grab more talismans, weapon upgrades, etc. I just don’t have the patience to do so.

Been throwing myself at the wall and fighting him, but the best I’ve managed is getting him to 33% health. I’m enjoying it, but it’s not something I can stick to for more than one session a week… getting 1-shot gets pretty frustrating.

Testikles would like to know your location

I very much agree with your third sentence. If your cheap tool wears out, it’s because you need that tool often or for rigorous scenarios. Good to get a nicer tool for that job.

I mean, she did post a video where’s laughing at a comedian doing a routine that was making jokes about the conflict… and she was also part of the crowd that warned against the rise of antisemitism due to the conflict…

But also it’s just random racism to point that out apparently.

GPS: Goblin’s Perfect Sense (but in the phone)

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year! At this time of day! In this part of the country! Localized entirely within eastern Colorado?

Exactly. I know plenty of people who have driven a car for over 3 decades, and do not know what a timing belt or a spark plug does. I don’t look down on those people, but it certainly makes sense as to why they don’t know. They don’t really need to!

This is a bold statement considering how many daily Windows users don’t understand how to use Windows.

I think as the game progresses, you get to see why Astarion is so eager to act in his own interests. However, his backstory really only justifies half of his refusal to help people. The other half of his whining feels antithetical to his own situation, but perhaps that’s just because he doesn’t fully acknowledge his newfound freedoms until Act 2.

Thanks for providing a lot of insight to the conversation.

I would argue No Man’s Sky started the trend of “release now fix later” but I suppose they are not a big AAA studio. I suppose CDPR wasn’t really considered as AAA until the release of Witcher 3.

EA is practically begging people to pirate their single-player experiences.

Yes, the box that contains “Shirt”

Fun fact, the geographic center of the contiguous states is very near the center of the top edge of Kansas. Including Hawaii and Alaksa, the geopraphic center shifts to the top left corner of South Dakota, just east of where Montana and Wyoming meet.

I learned algebra around the same stage of my education. But to be fair, my parents were spending money to keep me learning accelerated math.

Make it four :)

As someone who lived in Kansas, just look for the middle of the middle.

The center column of states has 6 states (North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas), and Kansas is in the middle of that vertical line (given that the northern 3 are a bit thinner).

Bastion will make you feel like you’re reading a book. It’s one of my all-time favorites, by the developers now best known for Hades.

ALL of the ching chong jokes, lots of dog-eating comments, being told I wasn’t welcome in white gf’s family, etc. I feel that.

Been called a ch*nk multiple times by random people in public, been told as a child that I should be performing better in school because of the “type of person” that I am, been called a dog-eater by peers, asked “what’s your real name” (even though my government name is an English one), etc.

One time someone called me a ch*nk, I explained that despite them being shitty for thinking that’s okay, that I’m not even Chinese, so they must be extra braindead. I also said that it must be disappointing to know less of the English language than a non-white person, and that if a white person like them can’t learn proper English, then they’re failing their own expectations of what it means to be American. I suppose hearing me say that in perfect American English was enough for them to realize how dumb they were being. Everyone in the room glared at them and they shut the fuck up and left lmao.

Now imagine if we had taken 30-40% from billionaires every single year… hmm…
