Iowa is trying to ban those right now.

Carrying a scabbard right there is certainly a choice

Yeah that's definitely a decision.

Really the Broncos strategy has been clear.

Try and get the best value by signing great players coming off serious injuries so you can sign them at much cheaper contracts. Then hope they stay healthy.

It's the strategy the Cubs used to assemble their starting pitching and win the 2016 world series. So I'm not completely opposed to it. If it works it's amazing. But that is a big if.

Broncos sign Dre Greenlaw

That's a big hole filled.

I'm good either way.

To be fair I think most of us have at least one nomination that could fit into this camp with enough cynicism lol

Percy might be in trouble.

No one could have predicted how bad things would get, not your fault. The electorate really fucked themselves this time.

They are still following the Project 2025 playbook and Elon is doing exactly what he said he would do in the campaign.

Everything that is happening was predicted by many people. Maybe the speed is faster than expected. Maybe the 'Canada should be a state' thing started after the election? But this was all definitely predictable, and it will continue to get worse. Project 2025 is a long way from over.

Yeah I agree with KP, he is serious but that feels like the one thing that could actually result in a coup. He wouldnt dare try it, surely?

I mean Republicans definitely don't want Canada added as a state. They don't even want Puerto Rico to be a state because it would help Dems. Imagine giving the Dems a second California.

there's still that

What could help balance the budget more than cutting the department responsible for most of the revenue?

MacArrowny posted...

Huh? They're three separate games inside the trilogy. Just like with the Crash trilogy or whatever.

You can only buy them as a one game so I guess I thought of them as one.

I don't really know anything about the crash trilogy

Well, Vritika is supposed to be of Indian descent. I dont want to police portrayals of ethnic backgrounds in media or anything, but when I think Indian descent, I dont think fair-skinned and blonde.

Yeah that's not good.

Forgot it was the next gen. Since it was a remake of the Trilogy as a single game I didn't think of it as a compilation but I can understand if it isn't counted.

Updated my list.

+5 Batman: Arkham City
+4 Dynasty Warriors 8
+4 Uncharted 2
+3 Dragon Age Origins
+3 Tekken Tag Tournament 2
+3 Borderlands
+2 LEGO Lord of the Rings
+2 LEGO Marvel Superheroes
+2 Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
+2 Xcom Enemy Unknown
+1 Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
+1 Uncharted
+1 Batman Arkham Asylum
+1 Journey
+1 Sonic & All Star Racing Transformed
+1 Dead Space
+1 Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate
+1 Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
+1 Uncharted 3
+1 Portal 2

Yeah I get that. We generally take long breaks between series.

Galactus is definitely hurt by his design and especially his color scheme.

The helmet is good because it gives him a good iconic head silhouette but the rest could all be changed and improved.

I hope Kurt at least won't show up for awhile.

On the note of "what can you tell by looking at the characters," here's another upcoming release...see if you can tell me what you can glean about Varesa here just by looking at her:

She is a clumsy or ditzy character who is supposed to be a bit of a "big dumb oaf". Muscle/strong character who eats a lot despite having a tiny waist and seemingly no upper body muscles or abs.

Also why is there a bandaid on her horn? What is that doing?

Edit after reading the answer: that is not wrestling attire. Or Hero attire.

Also her weird pony tail horn is dumb looking imo.

How I imagine the design process for the hat going:
"Let's give her a big poofy hat!"
"But that will cover her cat ears! She can't cover her ears!"
"Then let's just stick it on the back of her head instead."

So now you have a hat that is either pinned to her hair or defying gravity. Both of which make it a dumb clothing choice.

should've gone with Anniversary skin Tracer

Definitely better.

That hair is insane, even by anime standards.

would it help if I told you he turned the White House lawn into a Tesla showroom while he said this?

That does not make it any more obviously real or fake tbh

Do you have a garage with a 220-240V outlet?

Nope. Just a 120V.

I wish there was good electric infrastructure where I live. I think there is one high speed charging place in the area and the rest are just parking lots that have one or two spots that are usually full.

I'm stuck with just hybrids for now.

Woo!

I have PS3, one more decade of PC, and Xbox 1 I can vote in.

Additionally, he's using TurboTax, who literally guarantees they'll pay any fees if the IRS DOES audit him for inaccuracy.

Having worked for one of these places (TaxAct), that guarantee is only good if you can prove the inaccuracy is because of their software. User error like you not putting things in correctly will not be covered.

Do not ever give anybody financial or tax advice again for the rest of your life.

Meanwhile I'm getting ready to do a 1040x because I got a $40 1099 with no taxes withheld after I filed my taxes and they were accepted.

You could share some thoughts on Midnight Suns in the meantime, as a sort of playthrough intermission...

I might be the only one in this topic who cares about that game though.

Finished the DLC missions and am in act 3 for the main story. I think I only have one or two missions left so I'm trying to max at friendship to see all the scenes before I finish.

Such a great game.

Great characters, fun gameplay, good story.

But really the characters are the highlight.

I mean he was in that stable when he was champ.

Someday I will give New Vegas another try.

I liked it the first time but I didn't get far into and end up playing other things and forgetting about it.

And let's not forget their kicker!

I could be misremembering but I thought it implied Eternal

Looks like I remain in the minority of preferring City.

Jeremy just takes the role to seriously. He forgets it's actually a comedy show and not a legit game show.

Thanks. I need to do some write-ups but I've been a mix of busy and lazy.

colliding posted...

am I misremembering? I thought it was basically Wong confirming a multiverse to Shang-Chi and Akwafina. Maybe it was just the "last scene" and not a post credits scene. my bad

The post credit scene was them tying Shang Chi to Eternals by saying the 10 rings were eternal tech.

Consider that my quick attempt at a write-up since I was the first place voter.

I love Arkham City so much. My favorite of the Arkham games. Flying around the city is great. The story is an excellent take on No Man's Land with a great use of Batman's diverse rogues gallery. All of them are executed so well, at least to a casual comic reader like me.

I found the gadgets to be good and the combat was it's normal fun. I think this is the best collection of Riddler trophies as well.

Just a great game start to finish.

As someone who has never cared about the Metal Gear series, Revengeance was a lot of fun.

And Email #3? This one came in 15 minutes after my shift had ended and it was to remind us that today is "Employee Appreciate Day". Well they can fuck right off with that, lol.

That is some Hollywood level of comedic timing.

Yeah but now we are going to spend millions to do it again!

My quick ranking of the ongoing shows I'm watching

1. Apothecary Diaries
2. Sakamoto Days
3. Blue Box
4. Honey Lemon Soda
5. Terrified Teacher

To be fair, if I was Acaster and I had just seen that Rhod closed the garage door to start making some scribbles, I'd have some renewed anger too.

Oh now I remember this challenge lol

Trump wants to get rid of the CHIPS Act, a bipartisan effort to get semiconductor manufacturing back into the US.

Yep, makes perfect sense...

Obviously we need to increase imports in order to get more tariff revenues to replace the loss from income taxes.

Wasn't Vivy huge? Everyone was talking about it when it came out. For original anime, it was more popular than Odd Taxi, which also aired that season (and was better IMO).

I've never heard of it for what that is worth.

I have definitely heard of Odd Taxi but never watched it.

EDIT: I probably shouldn't say I've never heard of it. It might have been on one of those show lists people post here of what all they are watching or looking ahead to the coming season. But the name does not sound familiar at all.

Yes.

Literally was the big "problem" for Tyler Lindebaum a couple years ago that made him fall to the Ravens.

Now he is a pro bowler and already one of the best centers in the league.

He still went first round but before that he was considered potentially the best O lineman in the draft.
