Lurker > Uglyface2

$100. My friend wanted to attend a class with his landlord's wife (he was having a hard time finding employment), so I loaned him the money. He never paid it back, and he's a terrible credit risk to this day. I let it slide since I was making good enough money to absorb the loss.

Once the initial shock of whiskey wears off, you can actually get some nice flavors out of them.

A lot of crazy stuff happens there, but I have fond memories of my vacation there many years ago.

Im still working on moving. Ive got some essentials here, and my dad is helping me assemble furniture. Ive got to haul more stuff over and clean up the mess in my old room.

Im not sure what ethnicity her face is, but Ive seen women with similar features and I find them very attractive.

Concert/rave tickets

Are raves still a thing? I thought those were late 90's/2000's things.

I hope you have more fun (and more time) than I did when I visited. In short, my manager at the time saw that I took two days vacation before my weekend and in her infinite wisdom decided to schedule me for OT on my weekend days. Just one of the many things she did that made me hate her forever.

It's going to be rent, followed by student loans. I've stopped contributions to my 401k for the time being so I can address the debt issue. I just hope I can make this work.

Bullet-hell shooter, but it's done as part of the Star Fox series and features an autoplay feature.

Can't really point the finger at anyone. They'll just quote Billy Joel.

I get my apartment tomorrow. I should really pack my stuff, but I'm having a lot of trouble cleaning up all of the garbage I've accumulated over the years (and by garbage I mean stuff I haven't touched in years, mail including credit card offers I needed to shred but never did, stuff like that).

I'd hoped to be completely moved by Monday. With all the stuff to go through, I'm not sure if that's even possible. It's a lot more tiring than I'd expected.

That depends.

1. Is this job good enough to warrant trying to find a workaround?

2. If yes, then is there something that can be done to mitigate the pain?

If the answer to either of those answers is no, then your friend should find another job. If the answers to both are yes, then go for the workaround.

Example: One year, I got seasonal work at Macy's as a stockroom associate. Walking on concrete for long periods hurt so bad that I could barely walk at the end of the day. I needed that job, so my workaround was buying Dr. Scholl's shoe inserts. Saved my feet.

I couldn't be bothered to finish.

I'm moving on Thursday. I've got a lot of stuff, most of which I don't use and probably never will. I started throwing things away yesterday, and I was all set to do more of that today. I got home and just feel dog tired.

I could've would've should've been cleaning right along, or been doing this over the last few weeks, but here we are now and I need to clean. Not much space left in the garage to put trash, since my new furniture is taking up so much space.

It's basically Cold Steel meets Persona with guest star Ys.

Sounds like it's worth a $12 risk.

I guess I'll need to pick up a new 1tb USB stick. That suckz

They have those? Geez, I remember when they were something like 128k and all you could really do was transfer Word documents on them.

Good grief, did it come with a handjob?

Grown adults still jerk it to hentai?

I've been trying to stop watching porn (one week so far), but when I was watching, yes, occasionally. They can draw stuff that would cost a fortune in the real world, they can give you a much better likeness of certain characters than you could hire (there's a Tifa one that you'd have no problem finding), and you can get angles that wouldn't happen in real life.

I have no strong feelings either way, but having just played Ni No Kuni 2, I can say that well-developed protagonists can tell stories that silent protagonists can't. That said, I also played Dragon Quest 11 this year and enjoyed it so much that I platinumed the thing.

I suppose it's the approach to the story that makes a difference. Ni No Kuni 2 was largely character driven, while Dragon Quest 11 was more event driven.

While PS3 had better support for older games through the PSN Store, PS4 has had a lot of remasters that I've had a good time playing. Also, the advance of game design means that developers have generally learned their lessons on what works well so PS4 games have that experience behind them.

I was exposed so I went through the thing. I think it's actually 4 years of three bureau rather than months, and they'll add on an additional 6 years after that expires for one-bureau monitoring.

I was hit.

So... supposing that I'd rather not get my credit destroyed, they'll pay for 4 months of monitoring?

It'll be worth it. How far are you moving?

When I finally got my own place, it was only a mile down the street from my parents' house, so I never felt too rushed to complete the move, and that helped a ton.

Google says it's around 5 miles north of where I am now. It's not far, but it's much closer to work and I won't have to deal with lousy traffic created by bad land management.

I move out of my parents' house next Thursday. Tomorrow is trash day, so I've been making an effort to clear my stuff out of the attic. I knew I had a lot of stuff from a long time ago, I just didn't know it was THAT much.

Also, climbing up and down a steep set of wooden fold-out stairs sucks, as does walking hunched over and carrying objects to the hole with the fold-out stairs.

I haven't been doing this for very long and my nephew helped (he took the things from me as I handed them down the stairs, but I still hurt and I'm old and I hate everything.

Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords

Such a rage-inducing game, too. Until you get some game-breaking powers, you're at the mercy of a computer that (as near as I can tell) can read a few lines above the visible playfield. I've had circumstances where I've had one move left and deliberately took damage by making a false move, forcing the computer to take that one move and set up a giant combo for me.

I just got to the crucifixion scene. I'd heard about the Chu-chu part before playing the game because of how absurd it is, but boy oh boy, I was unprepared.

As one caption on The GIA read, "He died for chu sins."

I tried to get back into Revelations, but that game is bad. I'm at a point where the game raised the Templar awareness to full, spawns guard groups including Janissaries everywhere, and seemingly rid itself of ways to reduce the awareness. Janissaries are not fun to fight in the slightest; they dodge everything, they survive counters, and they can shoot you from offscreen (and the camera seems to take great delight in making sure you don't see it happen).

Frankly, I haven't been this angry at a game in years. This game had design flaws that wouldn't fly by today's standards. I'm hoping that I'm near the end so I can put this game behind me.

That's a hard one since most games don't put that kind of effort into NPC schedules. They kind of do in My Time at Portia, but not to the level you're looking for.

6:

AC
AC 2
AC: Brotherhood
AC III
AC III: Liberation
AC IV

I've got a save file on Revelations that's a good ways in. I played a lot of Syndicate before getting bored and selling it back. I've played a little bit of Origins, but I didn't stick with it. I played some of Rogue, didn't finish because it crashed at a certain point; I have the remaster, but I haven't touched it.

I like the concept, and were I a wealthier man I'd opt for the $500 tier (I'd go for an enemy that's a cold cup of coffee, splashes on you and causes a slow status effect - I, too, worked in maintenance). Alas, that's money that needs to go towards living expenses.

There were some really good ones on the list. I went with Time Circuits because I can (and have) listened to that for hours, but there are others I absolutely adore.

Frankly, any cable news is bad. The 24 hour news cycle has been far more bad than good.

McDonald's.

Life wouldn't be great, but from what I understand, jail is hell on earth. McDonald's actually provides a few small benefits for their employees (free food, some places offer discounts on shopping), you get privacy during your off hours (you get none in jail), and there are ways to get discounted medical treatment if you happen to live near a hospital (I know this firsthand from my time being unemployed).

This was a suffocating bit that removed any desire I once had to finish the game. I think I reached a point where I could have potentially gotten to the end because the world opened back up with side quests, but the narration just destroyed it for me and I couldn't be bothered anymore.

Several hours. My job involved contacting insurances, and I wasn't supposed to disconnect if I'd gotten somebody at one point. It wasn't sunk costs so much as not wanting somebody else to have to start the wait over on a new call.

im looking at a place today and uglyface, you're my inspiration to move

I hope it worked out!

I think I've got most of the high-dollar stuff bought. I've got enough money for the movers and for paying the rest of the first month's rent. I set up renter's insurance, the electricity is set to cut over to me on moving day, and my Internet will be set up on day 2.

I'm sure something will go wrong, but I'm moving pretty close to a lot of shopping so it's not as if I'll have a problem finding what I need.

My car needs repairs and the AC is gone. It's window time.

I've killed an hour in this stupid platforming section where I have to jump around trying to ascend a tower while a million random encounters that can't be escaped from happen. It's infuriating.

There was a tell on the original Playstation where the disc started loading and if you stopped on a platform when that happened you wouldn't fall to the bottom. I suppose you lose that on a digital version.

22 to 8.

We kind of did elect Oswald Cobblepot over the Republican Party.

I would kill for an option that increases text speed.

Just wait. It gets worse.

Getting a handful of friends together with beer and pizza will be a lot cheaper than movers, man.

The movers are for the truly heavy stuff. I'm getting offers from friends and family to help me move, and there'll be plenty more besides the stuff I bought.

(There's a couch, a love seat, a recliner, and a couple of unassembled pieces of furniture that weigh a lot.

Does your apartment building have an elevator you can rent to help with moving?

I don't think it does, or at least, I wasn't shown one. I hate to make anyone carry anything up, but there's no way I could do this myself.

I never played D2. I think I'd sold my PS3 at that point.

Bought furniture today. I had no idea I'd become so weak, I needed a lot more help than I'd expected just moving it into my parents' garage. I'm going to hire movers when it's go time next month, there's just no way I'm getting them up two flights of stairs.

(Also need to do something about the "weak" thing, as long as I'm working on the "fat" part.)

After all of this, I've got a place lined up starting August 1. It just doesn't feel real, like it's all going to fall apart and I'm going to lose everything. I've got electric set to switch on move-in day, and I'm going to have Internet set up on the second day. I'm shopping for furniture tomorrow since Big Lots is having a sale.

Real mix of emotions.

Late night bump.

I beat Xenogears and don't remember much of it. Other than this

I worked out the system for that scene. When the Playstation starts to read the disc, stop moving and wait for the fight to load. That's not so helpful now since Anagram is probably playing a digital version, but there it is.

I also remember one other scene: He died for chu sins.
