So high school sweethearts? That's so wholesome. Glad to hear you're both happy. And yeah, having a partner that's just as nerdy as you is great

Not even quite that. We met online in a Resident Evil RP chat room back on..TalkCity. She lived in California, I lived in Florida.

We ended up officially moving in together in Colorado in 2009. Been living together since. Have only spent about 15 days apart since 2009, and that was spread over 3 times I went on vacations; twice for meet ups with an online group of friends and once for twitchcon. She is nervous about flying, so she opted to not go on those. But otherwise, we spend every day together.

I've been with the same girl since I was 13 and she was 14.

We are now both 36, and we've never regretted a thing about all our time together. I think a large part of it is, because we met so young, our interests and joys have aligned as we've grown.

We game together, nerd out together with comics and movies. We just enjoy spending our time together doing our hobbies.

How does mine make me look? Am I cool?

Man, I'm gonna end up replaying this game. I love the soundtrack and listen to it still.

As far as I'm concerned, it took everything the first game did well, and just shot it up to 100.

I...am almost tempted to buy the game for a second time just to make use of this mod.

but how am i supposed to do my arts and crafts with a box cutter?

Threaten a normal..I mean right handed person with it, and force them to use the scissors to cut things for you.

Strokes can fuck you up like that.
Never know how someone will come out of them. My grandmother had one, and for a while, this woman who never cursed, just cursed everyone out when they tried to talk to her. Then one day, a switch flipped and she was normal; and when told about what she had been saying, she was horrified. To her, she had been talking normal during all those times.

My mom had one, and when from being a confident, take no shit person to being very..just timid and not quite herself. About a year passed, and just in the middle of doing something..She flipped back to her old self.

So, don't give up hope. There is a chance she can go back to how she was, and it's very possible that when she apologizes, it's parts of her trying to come back. Otherwise, my advice is talk to a professional. As someone who spent my late teens and early twenties caring for my near bedridden grandmother... You can't ignore your own health and needs for someone else for so long without it making you bitter.

The hate for FFTA really does feel out of place. FFT is my 2nd most favorite game of all time, and while I admit that the FFTA games didn't reach near its peak, I still enjoyed them a good deal.

Sure, they aren't as good as the original, but they aren't bad games at all.

Depends on the drink, but a few years ago, they'd be from about $25 for the smaller, to $40 for the larger.

Even the small ones were worth a few hundred cups/glasses. The larger, for popular drinks, nearly triple that.

The markup is HUGE on it. Massive profit in the long run. It's why free drinks, or discounted refills and so on is a popular "bonus" at a lot of gas stations for spending on other things.

If it was their own fault, no.

Now, if they were delayed due to something out of their control, then sure, I feel bad for them.

I've learned to not underestimate or knee-jerk react to prison recipes. I tried many thanks to my uncle who was in and out of jail and prison a lot.

Those people find ways to make some very interesting flavor combinations that work.

You can change whether she speaks... through the controller or tv via menu

But yeah i suppose if you have controller audio turned off via console settings, you wont get to hear her exposition during unique battles.

Well damn. I feel like a missed a lot of dialogue now, because I never even thought about the controller speaker.

So, I think I realize why I never minded them. Do they talk through the controller speaker? I've had mine muted for ages, so I don't think I've ever even heard MAIs voice. Didn't even think she had one until seeing the hate for her.

90% of my interaction with the two was just quick button presses or easy to ignore messages while I fought.

Didn't enjoy the demo, so very, very unlikely.

Both playthroughs I've had about half and half. I've always been middle of the road in games with moral choices. I will do pure evil if that's a choice but usually not in a first playthrough. Pure good usually has some downsides so I have to really like the game

Fair. I did straight up honor in my run. The only time I relied in stealth was when it was forced to keep someone alive. Otherwise, it was marching up to every gate for a duel, challenging the forts head on.

I actually enjoy traveling to a degree in open world games. Provided it has good scenery/atmosphere.

I'm slightly irritates though if I run across something blocking my path and the way around seems hard to find.

Oddly just got done beating the game. I kinda wanna try playing with using dishonorable methods as little as possible but that seems to stray from the games theme. Does it change anything? Like even dialogue

I can't remember if it changes any dialogue, but it does change the weather. Most stealthy, ghost stuff results in more storms and bad weather. More honorable, head on stuff results in brighter, sunnier weather.

IX and X are tied for me.

Was easily my GOTY. And the fact they released a fully functional multiplayer mode for free later on, with a lot to do and unlock in it?

Amazing. I still love jumping into the co-op sometimes just to have some fun.

Oh, nice. A damn good episode.

It was great when I was growing up there. I'm glad I got out when I did, though, before it went batshit.

It makes me sad, seeing how it is now.

South Park.

Without Family Guy, which started off strong, we likely wouldn't have gotten American Dad, The Cleveland Show, Ted, or The Orville. All of which I enjoy.

South Park has given nothing of long term value, really.

Just gonna say, I'm 36 years old and I never knew that Easter was a movable holiday.

Always assumed it was the same day every year.

Just saw it. Enjoyed it. Hollywood finally learned to relegate humans to being the support, and for their scenes/story to be directly about the Kaiju instead of human drama.

Leave the human drama for the Japanese Godzilla movies since they tend to do it right.

Overall, was just a fairly action packed giant monster brawl. Gave me what I wanted.

Deaf.

I enjoyed most of the mini games. Queens Blood became my obsession.

This is like someone looked at Velma, thought "I can do that", and then proved they could, indeed, do that.

Seth isn't the showrunner. Just one of multiple executive producers. I don't think we can blame him for this one.

Yeah basically. I can already imagine the jokes everyone at work would make if we walked in on this >_>

Same. Hell, sometimes you just see something totally unexpected and all you can do is laugh like that. Happened to me a couple weeks back. Guy pistol whipped his girlfriend, so I took a look expecting it to be, you know, not too bad.

Yeah, no. He had hit her hard enough you could see skull. It was just so unexpected I laughed and went "What the fuck".

I just watched the first 40 minutes of the video. How are these investigators so calm when he's detailing every single thing he does. I would be shitting bricks out

So calm yet so terrifying. No cuffs on him or nothing, it's like they don't view him as a damn threat. Kinda what his friend mom said how he was a bit of an oddball but never thought he was a danger...

So, for interrogations, there are a few reasons to thst detectives choose to keep people uncuffed unless they are expected to be a legitimate threat..
1: Suspects are more likely to talk when not cuffed and shackled.
2: It looks better when the interview is shown during trial. Jury is less likely to be sympathetic to the suspect if they aren't all chained up. Also removes a tool from the defenses arsenal that the suspect felt forced into confessing.

Besides, he really wasn't a threat to police at any point. Unarmed, did nothing to hide his guilt, was open about everything. He clearly had no intention of trying to escape. Was a sensible call to leave him uncuffed and more comfortable to share all the details and his reasoning.

He confesses at 27:38. But i recommend watching the events leading up to that point. Hes so calm and nonchalant when the police goes to get him, its kinda chilling.

I feel so bad for the mother.

Don't feel bad for the mother. She was in denial his entire childhood as professional after professional kept telling her and warning her. She was one of those "The teachers and counselors are out to get my son!" mothers who directly allowed him to go unchecked to the point of becoming a murderer.

Without a doubt, assuming you like that kind of game.

Yeah. I'll answer if my phone doesn't say "Scam Likely". Usually it's just a wrong number. Sometimes it something annoying, but then I just block the number and move on.

I feel like ISIS claims credit for anything. Someone sneezes at an inconvenient moment? ISIS did it.

Little bit of everything.

Got off work at 6am, went to breakfast with the wife. Slept about 3 hours, got up.

Went to comic book shop with wife, spent about $100 on some things for her.

Went into work for a couple hours to help with court. Went to dinner with the wife after.

Now lying in bed relaxing while wife reads The Three Jokers.

EDF 6 will be the next game I buy this summer.

Too bad I can't just get Iron Rain, since I have everything else.

Don't feel bad. Iron Rain is not good. It was made as a non-canon spin off by a different dev who wanted it to be more serious. Has none of the fun charm, and the gameplay itself is super lacking compared to the main games.

I do. I love them and can't wait for the new one. They are my goto mindless fun games.

Edit: And EDF 5 still has a fairly active online community for matches.

Is Agrias a real person or just a made up character for the comic? I never knew >_>

He hid it away on his "About me" twitch page from ages past.

A message from Ronnie himself when I told him I stumbled across a topic talking about him/whomp. Just so anyone knows, he is doing all right.

I work for him, but I do so in the style of not engaging with him whatsoever.

I wouldn't be able to stand him, so I'd try to be like Stanley and just do my work and not be a part of his nonsense unless it meant skipping actual work and still getting paid.

I played the game as close to the honor code as I could. Unless I HAD to be sneaky to sa e someone, I marched up to every camp and challenged them to face me. No assassinations.

I loved that they made how you play impact the weather throughout the game. I had a nice, sunny world.

It's a fun game that feels like a much better ARK. They are also actively updating it with much requested features.

When they drop some big updates, or a bunch of small ones over the months, expect player spikes as people jump back into it.

Places use a general allergen warning that states they can't confirm that any given item doesn't have this or that; and to inform your server of any allergies you have.

Thus, it's the customers responsibility to inform their waiter if they have an allergy to a food item, whether the customer knows if it's in the dish or not, for safety reasons.

Astonia III.

That was my first.

Ever hear of Merry Gear Solid 1 and 2? Christmas themed parody games of Metal Gear. Short, but surprisingly well done and fun. I recommend checking them out.

I worked at one for 3 years. Honestly, one of my favorite jobs while we had a good manager.

Was fun, pretty chill and straight forward. Get into a really good rhythm with your co workers while making sandwiches..

Loved it just as much as I did the first, if not a little more.

I can understand it. Working with the public suuuuucks. And those jobs sure as hell don't pay enough to make it worth it.

Hojo without a doubt.

Well, without voice acting in the OG, it's hard to say. But yeah, he never revealed how young he was until Cosmo Canyon in the original. It surprises the party even in the original.

I honestly love the energy his battle lines get after that reveal in Rebirth. I like the youthful Nanaki.
