I think the begging for the job is more, “I need this to keep a roof over my head and put food on my table,” than any real desire to work at a soulless job.

Yeah, banning by IP from such a big website is pretty silly on the site admin’s part. Tons and tons of places share 1 to a small handful of IPs (e.g. apartment complexes, school dorms, etc).

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was the most creative game I’ve played in years and years. Amazing story, amazing characters, amazing art and world design, all topped off with a beautiful soundtrack. The gameplay was of course good-- not perfect–but, very satisfying when it hit its stride.

All that to say: Yes, I want more weird and creative games of that caliber. I haven’t played Death Stranding 2 yet, but I definitely plan to at some point.

All fair points. I can definitely see the appeal of wanting the same functionality that the Deck controller brings, as I myself really enjoy the extra flexibility the trackpads and back buttons provide. But the ergonomics in this example just looks awful and feels really reminiscent of the original Xbox controller.

Yeah, this looks awful to use. It’s okay on the Deck because that’s a mobile device and has a lot of functions it needs to satisfy on the go. For a dedicated controller? Why the hell would you prefer this over the better ergonomically designed SC 1 or literally any other console controller?

A hotel in Augusta, Georgia. I had to come into town for a 2 week training event for my job. Unfortunately, it was occurring at the same time as the Master’s tournament, so finding a hotel was virtually impossible. The one my work booked for me was easily in the top 3 grossest accommodations I’ve ever had, and I’ve deployed to combat zones in the Army. Waking up in the middle of the night to my bed and walls covered in roaches still haunts me to this day. And when I say covered, I don’t mean a few. I mean covered.

It’s not any worse than Chrome, which isn’t saying much. Firefox is still the best user friendly browser, IMO.

Atlus has zero shame with milking the hell out of the Persona IP. I truly don’t get it.

This is amazing, hahah

Try using the extension that can spoof what browser you’re using. Last year, Firefox was being hindered by YouTube until I downloaded that and made it think I was using a Chrome browser.

Ahh, good to know. It’s hard to keep up with their constitutional crises blitzkrieg.

Not to mention that both the SCOTUS and other courts have ordered this administration to cease deporting people without due process, which they’ve unsurprisingly have gone on to ignore.

Especially when both that city’s mayor and state governor explicitly do not want those troops there.

Oh for sure, and I did enjoy some of the side content and thought some of the optional quest stories were good. When I say smaller scale, I think a game like Expedition 33 nailed the balance of having plenty of side/extra content that’s fun to do while also ensuring that completionists don’t go mad from trying to hunt down everything.

Regardless, I agree with you on everything you said; it all boils down to preferences :)

I thought the core of GW: Tokyo was pretty good, but it suffered from far too much open world bloat. I’d love to see them revisit that world, but it’d be great if they made it focused on a smaller scale. Just my two cents, anyway.

Or, like my old, late cat (RIP buddy 😞), they hate most humans and other animals. Once he warmed up to you, he would absolutely get lonely without his favorites around. Didn’t care if our dog was around or not, despite our dog being sad for awhile after he died.

Just to clarify, properly trained and handled drug and bomb sniffing dogs do actually have quite a high accuracy rate. However, in the hands of shitty police officers… sigh.

Because the waitlist is often very long. On top of a limited supply, there are other limiting factors, e.g. if you’re already really old and sick, the organ that becomes available will likely go to a candidate that’s more likely to have a successful transplant instead, such as a healthier kid or something.

You’ve never tasted your own blood from like bloody lips and stuff?

Is it, though? I get that they have a similar protein composition or whatever, but there’s no way the taste is anywhere near the same. Then again, I guess I’ve never eaten fully raw eggs before (not sure if a semi-runny sunny side up on toast counts, heh).
