Wanna know some evil shit?

Knew a kid who had siblings all close in age. Their Parents didn't want for money at all, but still bought only one gameboy to share between the siblings. That's just stupidity on the parents' part, to the point of total lack of self preservation!

IE they introduced something to cause conflict instead of spreading it out and causing peace for everyone.

This article is ridiculous It looks like I need to start bookmarking sources to R-antics again for when his bs gets rugswept again and all the Republicans get on board.

Fuuuu

But it’s not just that one story. Vance has tried to claim he has a mountain of “evidence” that migrants are eating cats, dogs, and geese from local parks. And they all turn out to be garbage. NBC News talked with a woman in Springfield, Erika Lee, who was behind one of the Facebook posts that far-right influencers elevated online before Vance really kicked it into high gear. It turns out Lee’s post was based on something she’d heard from “an acquaintance of a friend” and that she had no first-hand knowledge of anything like that happening

I was just impressed trump graduated from communist to Marxist. Getting more specific and less accurate!

You're so right. Your point deserves a lot more recognition than it got. Don't shut up, don't stop what you're doing.

To be clear, I mean the courts are absolutely failing this child and caretaker by allowing the abuser to have have access to the victim(s)

This article has sooo much being said between the lines.

The mother, Rachel Pickrel-Hawkins, said the reunification therapy by Christine Bassett, a licensed marriage and family therapist, has been harmful, abusive and counterproductive

When the other party is there perpetrator of abuse and the one with power, it very often is detrimental to have some sort of mediation or therapy/counseling. Because the abusers very often are able to manipulate the story so they are the victims in need of most support/compromise/thoughtfulness/time/money/basically ANY conceivable resource in life and relationships they will exploit.

Now I admit I am more familiar with the medical side of things but this entire dynamic gives me pause because it is so psych 101.

In my opinion : The money is MUCH more lucrative now because of data mining. That's it. That's the real product being sold and because it isn't encouraging innovation for innovation's sake, but for a bottom line or goal that almost certainly depends on features that gather ad much data as possible to sell... etc etc

Ok you called me out on a very specific flaw and consistent failure of mine! I have some weird wrong pronunciations they can lead then to wrong spelling and it has nothing to do with misunderstanding the context or whatever and just... my brain tends to read the shape of a word and that leads to problems if it isn't a word I hear often.

Thank you for your kindness and context and I think maybe that will help me not make the mistake in the future! At least after I play the game at least lol

Thank you so much! I will just dive into that after I finish my current game and not worry about needing established lore or backstop. Just started a quickie and unique game called Get even. Gameplay is kinda like the detective line of Detroit become human. Enjoying it so far.

I've been hearing about dues ex forever though and I'm ready and looking forward to being able to understand the pop culture references and conversations now. Thanks for the reassurance and confidence

 

***Edit: deux ex

So I have access to the ps plus catalog. I'm really excited they have disco elysium the final cut, and dues ex mankind divided

My brain has muddled these two awesome franchise pop culture knowledge where I feel like I'm more or less able to go into either blind and I wanna preserve that! The thing is it's not really clear to me for either title if I'd be playing a sequel (or something that is better enjoyed with prior context)

So I guess my question is for these two games, what should ideally be the order placement? Even if I just watch a yt essay on a previous game I don't have access to just to have some good groundwork context.

I also am curious what games you discovered that is available through similar subscriptions. Were you pleasantly surprised? Just meet average expectations?

VOLCOM!!!! Thank you that's the brand my mind was reaching for but couldn't remember. Great designs, cool to learn they work with local artists!

That backpack sounds cute

 

Yeah sorry not your typical post here, I hope that's OK!

I'm thinking of getting this for my (14)nephew and my brother to play together. He used to play DND in the 80s and this game really sounds like it tries to honor a lot of the culture and whatnot of the games.

But... I haven't played anything like either of those and my brother is extremely busy with little free time and my nephew doesn't have as much free time as the average kid.

Is this a game that could still be enjoyable in small doses? Does it get overwhelming or stressful fast for most people who don't play games nearly as long or as intense as this? For context they play a lot of match style games but my brother loved the original assasians creed.

And if not or for some reason you have another suggestion I'd love to hear it because at the very least this game sounds good to me and I'm interested in what other games it's fans like that I could also check out. :)

 

Ya'll jealous of my black 08 prismacolor fine line marker and pilot precise v7 rt.

Okay what the fuck is that last one? Why does it sound like a sports car marketed to males 14-26?

 

Hope mildly witchy stuff qualifies. At least while things start gaining momentum. I have a lot of those!

 

You're important too
