RFK Jr. is going to siphon votes from Republicans way more in swing states. Don't listen polls on both sides. There's enough moderates who don't want Trump or Biden to get 4% all the way to 9% of the votes. In a tight race that is pretty huge.

I remember playing a Jurassic Park game on the SNES that was a Contra style game where you shoot humans more than dinosaurs. It was kind of okay so I went to rent it again and got a completely different game: a top down "where the fuck do I go" type of game, got upset and never played another game in the series again.

I had them 7 years ago. It's not bad to self treat a bed as long as you have quality bed bug proof covers and basic metal bed frames. However if they infest a couch that piece of furniture is as good as gone. It's impossible to treat every nook and cranny that exists. It's cheaper to toss out the couches and buy new ones than to afford a professional exterminator.

FF7R is not like FF15 or FF16 where you can literally hold X to win. I wouldn't say normal mode is difficult but it demands attention from the player, especially since the game encourages you to switch between all your characters to build up ATB faster.

Hard mode is mostly about using powerful builds to remain self sufficient enough where you don't need to use a lot of MP. Prayer and Chakra are normally weak on Normal but essential on Hard.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


It's the opposite. They tend to scatter and flee from pesticide, causing them to hide for months. What happens is that you think they're gone, then suddenly comeback when the coast is clear. This is why over the counter bug spray makes bed bugs worse. I've seen bed bugs hang out on the ceiling because it was the only place that wasn't sprayed.

The sure 100% effective method of getting rid of bed bugs is fumigation. You bubble your home and fill it with basically bug mustard gas. Spray and heat treatments can fail. This is why bed bug extermination is expensive. It's not a one time gig, it's a project.

It actually becomes cheaper to just toss beds, couches, and other furniture out and buy new ones than it is to hire an exterminator.

However I never had anything hacked or breached with any online accounts ever to really warrant heavy use of 2FA. I had my Genshin Impact account breached but that was from a database leak from the devs themselves, the one time 2FA would matter but the game didn't have it.

TopicWhy do people pre order games?
Lord_Ephraim
09/13/23 10:50:20 AM

Pre-orders were only necessary to acquire certain low print run games that often would only be sold at gamestop due to their niche market. This was before the age of digital copies and online shopping.

These games also came with physical pre-order bonuses that were kind of cool to collect. Things like soundtracks, artbooks, actual underwear (Catherine in that case) etc.

For any other video game, yeah it's a scam. For gamestop it was an interest free "loan". That's why they push pre-orders so often. It's just why pre-order a game that has a thousand copies at your local walmart?

Lord_Ephraim
09/11/23 11:01:06 AM

The major flaw of Persona 5 happens after Makoto becomes a permanent party member.
The game hypes her as the complete brains of the group. Regulating characters like Ryuji and Ann to side characters written to be stupid so Makoto can look smarter. Even Morgana is given acts of stupidity as a plot device to introduce Haru into the game.

Outside of that major gripe, Persona 5 shines more than 4 with much much better production values, real dungeons, and better monster encounters given that most regular enemies are actual SMT demons and not palette swaps of hands, tables, and uuuuugh dice.

Combat is extremely unfun. I put on the amulet that doubles max HP and heals after battle and I think it's not enough. I think a small portion of your MP needs to be restored after battle.

I miss Overwatch 1. A lot of people hated Shield/Stun meta but it was still very team focused. Overwatch 2 puts more emphasis on solo carry and the tank role. They shouldn't even be called tanks but rather Super DPS.

PvE was the main reason people were hyped over the sequel but it's clear Blizzard just doesn't have the talent anymore. That's why they dropped it. Better to just gut the PvE aspect than release one that is a quarter assed.

Combat is more shallow than the SNES JRPGs it tries to replicate.

I'm 7 hours in and each character only has three moves. Magic is powerful but drains all your MP so you're resorting to normal attacks a lot. Combo moves are nice but to perform them you have to charge a meter and 90% of battles are over before you even get a combo charge move ready. Since most areas has a heal point, what you end up doing is fight one battle, go back to the camp fire to heal, then move on. Rinse, repeat. There are charms that make the game easier you can turn off and on at will. Turn on the one that fully restores you after battle. It will save you a lot of time.

The biggest flaw is that the writing is .....too safe. Both Zale and Valera are wet towels personality wise and Garl is extremely annoying, but in a boring way. The story starts off slow and is finally taking off, but the more I play the more I rather just boot up Chrono Trigger, Lufia 2, Golden Sun, or Phantasy Star IV.
