I’d also add a lifetime subscription to Nexus, that alone can add so much life to so many games. Hell, if I’m checking out a game, I see what kind of mod support it has first.
Or do they not offer that anymore?
I think I got it way back when for $50 or so.
When I acted up, threw a tantrum, basically disturbed the peace, my mother would get up, take me outside away from others until I settled down. Did trips to the grocery store take some additional time some days? Yeah. But I learned pretty quick.
This wasn’t some stay at home mom who had tons of free time. My mom worked 40+ hours a week, was the primary bread winner, and still did a decent job of raising me.
Some office environments too.
Last place I was at, I worked nights pretty much solo. If my wireless earbuds died, sure, I’d play it out loud. I was the only one in the building. About an hour before anyone else started getting in, if my ear buds still hadn’t charged enough I turned it off.
Partially to be respectful, and partially because some people get offended by metal even if they can’t understand the lyrics. And I mean, yeah, some bands can have unprofessional lyrics. I get it having been in the working world so long.
I don’t disagree, but having tried anal with a few women before - even with plenty of prep, I’m too big.
If Rin can take it, I’m gonna knock it off my bucket list, lol.
Gonna piss off the farmers, until they get their subsidiary check for growing corn (for high fructose corn syrup) instead of feeding the population.
I’ll admit, I haven’t watched it. Nor do I intend to. And I tried to allude to CDPR doing… something to explain it.
I’ve seen too many decent games ruined by hype trains, so I do my best to avoid them and form my own judgements.
I tend to be a lore nerd before a min-maxer in games, though that wasn’t always the case.
The “best” build isn’t always the most enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE theory crafting ridiculous shit - but if you trounce all your enemies, conquer every social interaction, and breeze through the game… where is the adventure?
Hell, the BEST DND player I’ve played with lasted three sessions. Second Edition. Gnome Fighter with 3 INT. He was, sadly, too dumb to live. But man, I enjoyed every session with that character. Barrel of laughs, and his “idiocy” could be really ingenious. Dangerous to everyone around him, friend or foe, but he got results.
Sadly, he re-rolled with a more optimized character. It survived, but it was not nearly as much fun.
The Trial of Grasses is kind of a defining moment in a witcher’s life.
Thats really my only beef at the moment with the choice, but I’ve been awake for over 48 hours so I’m not thinking too clearly at the moment.
Thank you, this reference is why I clicked into the comments.
One phrase rings through my head when I read shit like this, from my days at a Children’s hospital.
“Non-accidental trauma.” Still sends shivers down my soul.
I picked up Veilguard because I enjoyed Origins and Inquisition. The second game… at this point, I don’t think I took it right and its my problem and I need to give it another chance.
I’m still very early into the game, but the only “woke” thing I’ve seen so far is variable gender identity during character creation.
You want to play a “woman” who looks masculine, with atypical male traits, even a penis, and a deep voice? You know what, I’m glad the option is open to people. It doesn’t vibe with me personally, but I’m glad that people I care about can make a character that is “them,” because who hasn’t made themselves in an RPG at some point in their life, best they were able.
Again, I’m early to it, but that is all of the “woke” shit I’ve seen.
For the record, I have friends and family in the LGTBQ+(whatever, doesn’t matter) that I support.
I don’t want hate in my heart, and I’ve worked very hard to overcome some biases that came from my more “southern” upbringing. Hell, one of those biased views from the past is now openly trans, and I was the only family member they talked to because they couldn’t talk to anyone else.
I’m imperfect, as all humans are, but it isn’t hard to fucking TRY, just a little, to realize that someone else’s self image and happiness doesn’t affect mine other than what pronouns I use to refer to them. Fuck, its not hard. Just don’t be a dick.
My second job was as a “Sandwich Artist.”
I’m aware, more so than some others.
Also, if you like tuna fish sandwiches there has been a long standing question of whether or not there is actual tuna in their cans. But what I can say, with certainty, at least when I worked there, that the recipe was 90% shitty mayo and very little anything else.
Yeah, TNO is absolutely an individual character you happen to be in the shoes of.
Without spoiling anything, the game IS TNO’s story.
If that doesn’t interest you, best of luck in your refund request.
That being said, I’ve only gotten around to getting one tattoo in my life - The rune of torment.
Yeah, my first thought was the advertisement probably didn’t include anything that was actually food.
Of course, the definition of food seems to keep changing as the decades pass by.
Oh fuck me, I’m still studying to red team basic computing.
I take it you’ve never had to log into a printer with an AD account before?
Yeah, I went out to 32 characters once. Until I needed to work on a printer.
As a Texan, this makes me happy.
I don’t believe in book bans. If a kid can read it, they should. Will they agree with the message? Maybe, maybe not. However, they were exposed to different thoughts. This isn’t a bad thing. It is up to the reader to determine how valid that line of thinking is in their life.
The bible… whew, the bible… Violence, sexuality, fucking incest, rape, etc. It isn’t a “clean” book.
However, if they’re gonna ban books for questionable material, the fucking bible is chock full of it.
I say this as someone who had southern baptist grandparents I spent the summer with, and have read the bible cover to cover more times than I ever cared to, but it was the only reading material available.
