I would actually just settle for not pre ordering AAA games as a good place to start.

Mine is 7 months old now. I felt the same. Just wait, you'll likely feel that it was the best thing you ever did. Your kid may be the one to drive some positive change. Just do the best you can and give yourself some grace.

What a fucking badass.

The album 'pride' is originally what got me into him. It's really good and has a weirdness to it I love. But I agree - song for zula is one of the greatest. The rest of this album didn't do it for me either.

However, seeing them live is fucking fantastic. You don't need to like their songs to have a good fucking time. Their passion is contagious.

I'm with you. The intro was pretty lackluster, the main campaign doesn't interest me at all, and new Atlantis kinda sucks imo

Then I joined the crimson fleet and suddenly 50 hours was gone.

Good. Justice for Chrissie Carnell Bixler and the other victims and families he destroyed. Fuck the actors who continue to say what a good man this piece of shit is

Baby feet are like curled canned shrimp.

100%

One of my favorite groups of all time, every release is fantastic. So hyped a new album is coming!

Til the dude who invented Segway died while riding a Segway. That tends to put an end to things quickly.

The thumbnail of the women standing at a podium with the emblem of the white house and in front of an American flag didn't do it for you?

I actually played through it last month and it blew me away. I cannot wait to do a second play through when phantom liberty comes out! It was so so good.

Not being prepared to answer that question shows again what a fucking moron that clown is.

Brink... Sigh. I remember that trailer coming out and I watched it like every day for years waiting for it to come. I watched every dev vlog, read every update. For years I was hyped on that. At time of release my buddy and I took the week off of work. We played it for like 3 hours one night and finished it. I remember thinking "there must be a mistake. This can't be it. This isn't the game I've been dreaming about." I never booted it up again after that first night.

Brink was my CP2077.

They're my squishy boots

Bro I fucking love me some lana

Haven't watched wrestling in many years. But Bray was always a badass. His entrance was epic, his characters were fantastic and frightening, and his story telling was larger than life. RIP.

Many states (especially more liberal ones) have laws regarding suspension and loss of wages /hours while an investigation is ongoing. Often times a paid suspension is to protect from future wrongful termination law suits. Paying someone to stay home for the duration of an investigation, then severing employment based on the outcome of the investigation is pretty standard practice... Not just for police or unions but companies as well.

I've got a bad feeling about this

Last year. Pneumonia I believe. There will be one final album the rest of the band is finishing up.

Edit: he also had a band before Low Roar, back when he lived in the states, called Audrye Sessions. They were more of a rock sound but still quite good.

Absolutely love Low Roar. Had the honor of seeing him a few times. His death was so tragic.

RIP Ryan

You spelled contract wrong four times in that comment.

M83 - Midnight City

Dude looks like an oblivion npc

One of the most influential albums of our time.

I'll share my experience. I love oblivion, skyrim, and enjoyed d4. I've never played DnD or a Baldurs Gate game.

I am so stoked that BG3 is getting the recognition for all they've done in putting the gamer experience above all else. Seeing the passion and love they put in and gamers are then experiencing is incredible.

I have also realized the game is not for me. There's too much detail. I don't enjoy controlling a whole party of characters. I may not just be smart enough for all the shit that's in this. I am also a new dad so I just don't have the time or brain power to learn and I feel like it's a big learning curve.

Maybe one day I'll come back to it and feel differently, but I'm also okay watching everyone else enjoy it while I play something else in the limited time I have.

Congrats! Loving this community :) Found some bangers thanks to you all

I am enjoying it. Like the other commenter, I had the opportunity to be in closed alphas and betas. It's indeed a cozy game that's great for relaxing at home.

It's a bit like BoTW or TotK where you set off to go do one thing and you realize an hour later you've done 30 other things. I enjoy that you are rewarded for playing with others (equal drops and spoils) and even gain bonuses when you are near or cheering on others.

There is no health bar, combat, or competition. So this is not a game for typical MMO players. Which I find nice, coming from other games where I tend to min-max or play competitively on a rigorous schedule.

However, 25 player instance limit can get a little lonely. Timegating crafting mechanics make it feel like a little too much like a mobile game and lack of controller support have prevented me from putting too many hours into it. (I am a new dad and controller support has become essential lately. For a game so focused on inclusion, I am baffled that it's still not in the game at this point.)

There are also micro transactions in the form of $25 skins - which is just stupid expensive. They also don't look that great though, imo. You're not introduced to the cash shop at all, in any way. No pop ups at log in, no daily rewards, very little bullshit like is popular in other games lately.

I have noticed a lot of complaints around character customizing (only 2 body types, no facial hair, only 1 race).

For f2p Palia is definitely worth visiting, but you probably won't be there for long.

spread open your wallets

I'm dead

Jealous!!! He's come around a few times but the stars just haven't aligned for me. Would love to see him live one day though.

100% with you. Not a country guy, not into Elvis. Enjoy Johnny Cash, but would never really throw him on. But for some reason OP just resonates.

His voice is insane and he's really learning how to harness it. He's a great song writer and I enjoy watching interviews and such with him. Very passionate artist.

I know he canceled a lot of shows to check his mental health and I hope he recovers. Seems like a great dude.

Solid approach and a noble cause.

Always bums me out to see an interesting article with 50 up votes and no comments discussing it. I think comment content is a big miss right now (but when it does happen it's usually more elevated than anything on reddit for the last 5 years).

Cheers.

To be honest, I've held off from listening to anything new since Isaac left. I'm fucking judgy regarding vocalists and I just haven't been ready to give them a chance yet.

I really enjoyed the chaotic, wolf-parade-esque bursts from Isaac. If there's a particular track you recommend let me know and I'll check it out.

I leave that shit off currently.

My wife, however, thrives on it. That's the game for her - recovering and rebuilding.

Would drive me nuts.

ah yes, the ikea-"set a slab on two filing cabinets"-desk method. an exceptional way to go.

Omg. Built in outrun theme right off the bat?
I'm in love

With inflation on the rise, a recession on the horizon, a former president facing criminal charges for attempting to dismantle our democracy, recovering from a pandemic while supporting a European war, continued gun violence as our children are massacred in schools and shopping malls, facing a staggering climate change and yet refusing to acknowledge its existence, and facing a growing political divide... The US government will do what ever it can to keep its people distracted and brain dead.

Incredible album. 'Fall From Grace' is one of my favorites.

everyone sees through it

I wish.
