A really nice thing about it is that you don't have to play it that way if you don't want. If you want to play it similar to Sekiro, you can. If you want to play it similar to Souls games, you can.

Easily my favorite non-From Soulslike as well. I'd rank it higher than a few From games too.

I'll be on record in saying I liked it more than Elden Ring. ER just felt like it was big for the sake of being big. They had a LOT of repeat bosses. The main story bosses were great, but the side bosses and dungeons just felt pointless.

Hunter X Hunter actually has chapters release sometimes

the last chapter was released in December, and that was essentially 1 volume of the manga after a 4 year hiatus where he was writing literally nothing.

The question now is: Who will finish their story first? George R R Martin with Song of Ice and Fire? or Togashi with Hunter X Hunter?

Phase 1 was fun but Phase 2 was BS and could only get the health down halfway. I had to spam my Aegis arm. Only boss in the game to take me more than 3 or 4 tries.

If you equip the Aegis arm and then use Simon Manus's weapon it becomes a strong poking weapon that prevents nearly all damage. Just got to pool your stats into its proper arrangement.

Woof. Yeah, selling online can always be a shitshow.

Also, what kinda brat gets a big gift for Easter?? Even at $250 that's ridiculous.

That's what I was saying to my father. Growing up I got Easter Chocolate. Even now at 38 my parents still give me like 20 bucks to buy my own chocolate.

That's awesome. Meanwhile I went 3 weeks of a chick online trying to haggle my 600 dollar computer down to 250, just so she could buy it for her son for Easter. Ended up selling it to a different person for 400, which is about how much I expected to sell it for.

Easily Lies of P. Great setting, game is beautiful and very tight gameplay.

Which is even more impressive as its a relatively new company.

I think people seem to forget that your not just getting Poker skills. Your getting the skills and abilities of the best Poker player ever. Ergo, bluffing, knowing when people are bullshitting you, keeping a straight face when your lying, card counting, being able to see things most people wouldn't, etc. A lot of which can be transferred into other fields.

Hell, many jobs these days will accept WoW guild leader as a viable skill these days because it shows leadership, problem solving etc. By gaining the skills and abilities of the best Poker player ever, your essentially turning into Monk from the tv show Monk.

I've never had vegan Indian food but there use to be a restaurant I went to that was vegan Chinese food. It was amazing. Seitan is the best alternative.

I need to try this one day.

Imagine the best food you've ever had. It's even better than that. I'm not even a fan of Indian food, but the level of care put into the dishes was insane.

People are lazy

And I'm lazier than all of them combined. I once left on Ron Polpeil infomercials because I was too lazy to bend over and change the channel, or get up, and this was over the course of 4 hours. It's still a manner of principle. You earn enough to live off of and then invest the rest.

Why would anyone in their right mind take 30k? In the world of professional poker that's literal change. Even if you don't like Poker (I'm more of a Blackjack lover myself), you can earn more than 30k in a single night.

There's over 30 species of Seals. They're not all Arctic/Antarctic. For example, the great white shark's favorite snack is seal.

And your right, and if I were talking about that, you would be right. But specifically I'm talking Atlantic/Arctic/Antarctic.

Tyranthraxus posted...

The easiest and most efficient way to keep seal population in check is with things like sharks which are just one of many families that has been dramatically diminished by overfishing. Ecosystems have a really remarkable way of balancing themselves out pretty fast when they're not being destroyed by humans. Overfishing is by far the biggest threat to sharks which in turn threatens all other kinds of sea life.

Stop overfishing get more sharks sharks keep everything else (orcas + larger excluded) in check, including seals.

Yeah..... hate to be the one to break it to you, but you might want to look at a ecological map. Seals, Walrus's and the like are cold water creatures. Sharks are mainly warm water creatures. There are a couple breeds of sharks that are cold water, but not enough to affect a population. The only predator of seals in northern climates are polar bears, and I sure as shit don't want more of them, as they are all assholes who will attack anything that move.

Tyranthraxus posted...

I highly doubt overfishing would be impacted in any tangible way if you just stopped eating seals. The WWF as well as basically every other environmental authority agree (and in parallel to climate scientists) that the main problem causers are humans. All empirical data shows that fishing regulations/restrictions placed on fishing industries dramatically improves marine population of all types, even the stuff we don't fish.

While that might be true in some sense, its just basic numbers. We humans eat between 3-4 lbs of food a day. Bigger animals like Seal, Boars, etc can eat far far more than that. And its not so much eating Seals, its keeping their population in check, which is something that a lot of Vegans don't seem to understand is a necessary evil. We don't really feel the destruction they can cause, but if you look at 2 recent examples of Crabs in Europe devastating a fairly large lakes ecosystem when they were left unchecked; and the most recent case of the guy who scooped up what was it? 5000 tadpoles and released them back into the wild and he got in deep shit for it?

And another note, that wouldn't stop the worlds population from overfishing. Fish are used for more than just eating.

Turkey Burger
A 4-ounce cooked turkey burger (made from a combination of dark and light meat) has 193 calories, 11 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat and 22 grams of protein

Impossible Burger
19g protein (the same as 80/20 ground beef); 0mg cholesterol (6g saturated fat); 25% the daily value of iron; No antibiotics or animal hormones.

so yes it is healthier.

your forgetting god knows how many chemicals that go into making impossible burgers edible. I'm all for healthy eating, but if your going vegan food, go with real vegan food. Give you a quick story. My aunt had Indian tenants in her basement apartment. The Indian wife got pregnant and her mother came straight from India to help with looking after the baby. She made us REAL Indian Vegan food. For context I'm not Vegan, but its the only time in my life I ever said "If all Vegan food was like this, I would gladly go Vegan".

Tyranthraxus posted...

I wasn't aware we eat seals.

We do. In fact, Seal Flipper Pie is a delicacy in the northern territories and Atlantic provinces. Plus the idea of going vegan means we stay away from animal products. Seals are used for leather, as well as Seal oil which many use as a supplement for Omega 3 fatty acids. The point is that Seals also have a secondary issue. They breed like crazy. They are essentially like Wild Boars. They eat every type of seafood possible, and multiply like crazy when not put in check. Which is why things like Seal fisheries exist, and why Pam Anderson and Heather Mills have looked like idiots for the past 20 years.

Tyranthraxus posted...

Yes immediately take the deal. Would be a tremendous boon for climate change and fix lots of other problems too like overfishing.

Would it surprise you to find out that one of the highest causes of overfishing are seals? Yes, we humans eat a lot of fish, but 1 seal can eat up to 60 lbs of fish a day. So the moment you go Vegan to protect the wildlife, that's when overfishing is at its worst.

I've not tried it yet, but r/wow is pretty pissed off. Apparently the bronze grind is ridiculous and they nerfed the frogs which was the only way of getting it in a timely manner without buffing the rest of the stuff to compensate. So now the people who grinded the frogs are way ahead of anyone who didn't.

Most are hoping Blizzard buffs the drop rate or lowers prices. Apparently they did something similar for Plunderstorm.

Its not even just that. I just hit 70 this morning, and the grind from 60-70 is way too difficult. The scaling is fine until 60, but once you hit 60, your stats take a sharp downward turn. I went from killing 5-6 mobs comfortably on my overpowered fire mage, to killing 2 with a LOT of kiting and dying.

Every quirk has some sort of downside as well. So, for example, if you have a heat quirk, you could end up burning yourself if you use it too much. It's almost like the flash being forced to eat 10,000 calories a day just to live.

I really lucked out. Outside the terrible gas mileage it probably has, I have space for a decent size mattress, and I can just build a tiny home to drag on the back for everything else I need, and since I don't need to put in a bedroom into the tiny home, that's more space for everything else.

Resident Evil 4 Original (I still argue this is probably the best version of the original RE4 out there)

I don't know.... maybe 5-6 months from now when Stormgate comes out of Alpha/Beta?

No way would they approve removing windows to extend the living space lol. That said, I've always been a massive fan of Gary Changs transforming apartment, and I would love to see it implemented in some sort of tiny home.

If you like Card roguelikes, then Night of the Full Moon might be for you. It's free, and worth a few hours of playtime. I enjoyed it.

Cooked to hell, barely seasoned, yet they still managed to not render down the fat.... absolutely not. I'd take away their grilling license.

I don't disagree
Regardless, that's what's wrong with them

Everything has different uses. Regardless, I live in a province where veggies are 1 week from spoiling so frozen just makes more sense in some cases.

Flavor
Texture

Which isn't what they are used for. Its used for convenience, and savoury pies. If you bake a meat pie with fresh vegetables, its more difficult than baking one with frozen vegetables. Something to do with temperatures. And I can promise you that frozen veggies, at least where I'm from? they are way cheaper than fresh. I get a pack of fresh peppers for about 7 bucks CAD. 1 bag of frozen chopped peppers is 10 bucks and there are at least 15-20 peppers in there. Maybe even more.

Into the Fire?

I'm playing it now, they added a bunch of interesting things to the game. The general quests haven't changed, but every time you get a treasure chest or kill a mob you have a chance to get a scroll which permanently increases one of your stats on your cloak. I'm sitting at about 10% extra experience on my Demon Hunter at 28, and 8% extra experience on my level 10 mage just by running a couple dungeons/scenarios. Eventually you will get so strong that you can solo Pandaria raids. You only have access to Pandaria content though. There is no Stormwind/Orgrimmar/Rest of the game.

I like Real Mayo, but that said, recently I've been making sandwich sauce with Greek Yogurt instead of Mayo and its just awesome.

It might be my slow nights through YouTube but I believe he has an entire series where he just eats from a Korean convenience store for like 2 years straight.

Wizard of Earthsea by Ursala Le Guin

I'm not against the change, but I do find it interesting that many parents have the belief that at the age of 18 kids are considered "adults". You can't legally drink or work at a strip club, but you are considered "intelligent" enough to vote, enlist and drive a car. All 3 of which scare the ever loving shit out of me just thinking about. You can also legally be kicked out of your own home once you turn an adult.

I don't mind the design, but I think it would have worked better if they had white numbers.

Did that fan game Skywind ever get finished after?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Word of advice if you ever decide to play them. Play them with mods. If nothing else stability mods because lord knows that Bethesda doesn't know how to fix their own game.

How the fuck was I supposed to know that I'm Mormon. Was there a group e-mail I missed?

So..... literally everyone of any race, religion or age?

I'd just walk out on him because he's an asshole, no other reason.

If FF13 was less linear, and made the battle system more like Octopath it would be looked at more fondly. Because that's all Octopath is, FF13s battle system but it applies to all party members instead of just Lightning.

Delicious in Dungeon is pretty fun so far

Manga readers: do you expect the anime to cover the entire series over its (presumably two coeur) run?

The fact that episode 12 wasn't the end of the first season is a positive start.

And yet... they still won't remake Dino Crisis 1..... wtf Capcom.
