Evil is a choice that Joffrey simply wasn't given the chance to understand. There's something to be said for his personality as not all the Lannister kids were so outright evil, but if he had good parents he might have had a chance.

Why would devs get money from constant renting? Wtf?

My stupid tired brain misinterpreting it. They don't make money directly from rentals but wanted games that would be rented repeatedly as they could earn a lot of sales from purchases for rental stores.

Tc woke up and his first thought was; lets do some trollling.

That's a pretty low bar if you consider this trolling tbqh

This topic exists in the weird space between Armored Core 5 and 6

It does

Also in the weird space between waking up and waking up

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Renting isn't. And devs get more money when a game is rented repeatedly. Which unlockables and other ways to extend game lifetime accomplish.

They say it like its devs getting greedier, when in reality unlockable content was just as greedy since it was implemented to keep people renting the game repeatedly. Same reason games before that were made super difficult.

What server? AUS is absolutely dead, and if it's SEA/USE/USW/EUW/EUE, then it might be that it's having a hard time getting you a match because you're so new. Once you get a few games in, that should change, queues will end up being about 3-5 minutes

Ah fair enough

Is it unusual that I'm having such a hard time finding a match? 10+ minutes for anything involving other players

It came out a week after John Wick 4 and dethroned it

Yup, but the numbers just aren't there. It might make back its budget over time but I doubt we'll see much for sequels. Hopeful though!

MaxEffingBemis posted...

How did it flop? It was number 1 at the box office when it came out

Because it came out when there wasn't much competition....because all competition had vacated the spot in (it turns out justified) fear of the Mario movie.

MCU humor ruined it

It doesn't really have MCU humor though, the humor honestly feels like how most DND campaigns go. Actually has good writing and characters though, something I can't really say about some of the recent MCU movies and shows :(

It really did unfortunately, but it is a fantastic movie. Same people that did Game Night(another top tier comedy). Well worth the time you put into it.

Oh my Primal Beast is fun

I lost to bots

But the game actually feels pretty familiar at least

I've followed it a bit during TIs so I know some of what's changed. Dino guy looks fun

This will be your first red flag.

When you get it, enjoy the Honey Moon.

Fun fact, the whole reason I'm in this chaotic job search fiasco is because a couple years ago a company told me a week before the wedding they wouldn't approve any time off for the honeymoon.

Movie did need Luis tho

It needed a lot. Like an actual character arc for Scott would've been nice.

Or.....anyone. Did anyone have an actual arc, let alone a satisfying one?

I rarely play dota outside of 5 stacks, so it's really not a problem for me. I think more people should play with stacks, solo queue is miserable.

I don't have 5 friends though D: I'm not particularly ragey when playing with friends, but I do suck an awful lot. Or I did, and this was back before Dark Willow was released so I'm scared yo see how bad I am now

But then again I don't remember the learning curve to be as much of a wall as some people say. Still bad, but playing League seemed to give me a solid start.

Im sure youre fine. Theyre probably just being lazy about it. If you already have the job, you should be safe.

I have a job offer pending the background check, but I'm just nervous because I've had some incredibly bad luck in the past couple years and this would be par for the course :/

warlock7735 posted...

Surrender is available for 5 stacks, unavailable for ungrouped pubs.

As someone who, when I still played Dota 2 that was my biggest complaint and I since haven't gone back to League.....I'm ok with it not being there. The games are their own things in many ways and playing from behind is not just fun, but a crucial skill to practice.

It has now been pushed out to next week

I'm starting to feel anxiety even though I have a clean record

I watched the newest TI and thought there was a mainstay missing, first TI I've seen with no Dark Seer

warlock7735 posted...

This patch is fucking wild. I was reading it last night and it made my brain hurt something fierce. Can't wait to play more dark seer.

OMFG THAT'S WHO WAS MISSING

Website said you only have access to your own characters you make, not the actual roaster of ones that will be in release. Is that correct?

I haven't tried yet in messing around with the character creator. I've made a monstrosity. 8 foot tall, makes a twig look thick, but with a 10 inch neck

Firing uo the demo now

People still play MOBAs?

Yes tons

Haven't gone through even half the notes yet. Map is replaced with a new one 40% larger, tons of core mechanics sre redesigned, third champ class introduced to match Void Spirit, Ogre Magi is now as mechanically stupid as his gameplay is and I'm so excited

This might actually bring me back to Dota

I mean, the ending was the least of that movie's problems

I think it is really messed up that people who are so adamant about being morally superior celebrate the deaths of someones parents, kids, etc etc.

They aren't celebrating their death generally. Most of them are using easily avoidable deaths as PSAs, and some are celebrating harmful politicians being out of power, which is completely reasonable even if how it happened is the worst way possible.

My local paper (San Francisco Chronicle) has a fund to help people get back on their feet. Its generally a one-time deal, like providing a security deposit or paying for an expensive car repair or something, generally a few thousand dollars. Is there anything like that in your area? You mentioned the library- have you talked to a librarian who might know of some local resources?

I can definitely talk to my librarian

That's manageable still at least
Do you feel the pay from the new job will allow you to cover your bare needs and pay the cards?

If my wife can get a job, maybe. Otherwise no. I've been managing and paying decently over the minimum, and prior to this year I'd never even been late on a payment. It's kind of frustrating to see Chase acknowledge that then offer almost nothing to help.

Dat_Cracka_Jax posted...

How much debt do you have across those three credit cards?

Little under 10k.

I've been out of work for years after a suicide attempt. I spend most of my spare time doing unpaid charity work while struggling to get a job because of the gap in my work history.

But yeah I just need to cut back on the avocados.

Oh nevermind I'm sorry I was here operating under the assumption you weren't trolling, carry on brother

For context, he posted this topic after shaming me for being broke and struggling severely and shamed me for not having an emergency fund despite having explained how my wife has been out of work for a year. He then dismissed my mental health concerns and told me to go work fast food, despite having had increasing issues with severe panic attacks.

Dude is a troll, just report him.

Yeah he's just a troll, Mark him for me since for some reason new accounts can't

Did until we had multiple emergencies over the last year.

Sexypwnstar posted...

No reason you couldn't do Uber Eats, Doordash, or service industry, honestly zero excuse. Did you even have an emergency fund?

I've tried Uber Eats and Doordash, they're godawful services when I can even use them and barely cover the cost of gas.

I do not have the mental health stability to do service industry.

I did have an emergency fund. My wife has been put of work for a year because of two emergencies.

But yes, keel trying to be judgemental, it sure helps.

Sorry TC.
If you live in Louisiana I can help proper. Food or a little money or anything.

Hang in there

Nah Oregon. Quite literally every form of public assistance I've found beyond food stamps is overtaxed to the point I can't even apply.

(Doubt meme)

And what do you doubt?

I love how three of the four accounts are with Chase, the rep even sees my two bank accounts overdraftwd a combined $500, and the best they can offer is to schedule the payment for the middle of May and expect me to get right back at it as soon as I get the job

Fuck them I'm almost tempted to let the credit card go bust and just block any attempts at repossession.

Ivynn posted...

Sorry to hear that, TC.

Will you need to pay overdraft fees too or do you have overdraft protection?

Overdraft protection just stops charges from going through. Had to turn it off when living paycheck to paycheck because it'd block me from accessing funds on payday

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but Lawrence of Arabia still holds up

Yeah, one reason I went into network engineering was to get away from the average end user. I did tech support for 5 and a half years and was burned out. The job in its purest sense was cool. I liked helping people who didn't understand computers with computer-related problems, but there are too many people who:
* Clearly Don't know jack shit
* Think they know everything
* Try to tell you how to do your job
* Don't want to listen to any recommendations you make to fix the problem they're calling about, no matter how commonly you've fixed their exact problem
* Don't want to take ownership for things they've specifically done to cause their own problems.

When I got hired at a network operations center, one of the things my boss at that company told me was, "For better or for worse, a router, firewall, switch, etc. will do what you tell it to do 100% of the time." That sounded amazing to me, so I gave it a serious shot and it has worked out well.

See, one of my previous jobs was working a call center for a senior focused phone company. I had to walk seniors with zero experience through multiple tech issues and loved it lol

Lgbt people during Aladin's era wouldn't exactly fair that well. I believe a punishment they inflict for homosexuality was throwing the guilty party over the tallest building in the city and if they somehow survived that, they would be repeatedly stoned till death.

Good thing it's a kids movie so we can ignore that.

I prefer new characters being lgbt. If you make a new gay spiderman. Do it like Miles Morales and don't change Peter Parker

Or change existing characters because there's literally nothing wrong with it and it gives more high profile inclusivity.
