Even people with a good job can get screwed with a big enough health problem, Cancer can be notoriously expensive to fight since we have no actual cure for it. Insurance companies are also known for dropping coverage if one of their customers gets a major health issue.

Yeah TMZ is saying that theres reports hes dead after a botched surgery.

R.I.P. surgeon

He had one of his generals killed because he wasn't clapping enthusiastically enough during one of his speeches, that doctor might have his entire family killed.

Odds are they wouldn't admit he was dead until they had another leader ready to go.

I think a Biden+Bernie ticket would be a smart move for both candidates, if Bernie is dead set on beating Trump at all costs he should consider a VP ticket with Biden. Especially if Biden will work with him to accomplish a few of the things he wanted assuming he wins.

The game that Minecraft took the most from was Dwarf Fortress a free text based game that lets you do most of the stuff you can do in Minecraft.

The creator of Minecraft himself admits this fact and will say the same damn thing. Minecraft was more appealing because it was in first person and it wasn't as hard as DF or didn't require a huge time commitment to learn like DF. Minecraft does take effort to understand everything, but DF is about 3-4 times as hard to learn.

Most guys that are very long don't have a ton of girth, it's extremely rare to get both.

Even with the wireless ones you can use cords to plug them in to the computer, I plug in my PS4 controller to my PC all the time and most titles recognize it.

Dude, where does it say in your post that shes a Trump supporter? Sounds like shes a normal anti-vaxxer moron.

About 2/3rds of Idaho residents voted for Trump so odds are she is one.

Who plays fighters with keyboard+mouse?

PC's are super easy to use nearly any modern controller on these days.

VIII is one of the worst in the series if you ask me, the characters all suck and the junction system is a joke.

Only way the Bucs win the whole thing is if they can go back in time and get younger versions of their roster.

I only started playing during Guilds and have only followed standard since then.

Is the issue with eternal formats that it's a guaranteed card, or is it a few notable broken combos?

In those formats the cost for companions is less and it's an 8th card imagine if we sat down and i got to start with an opening hand of 8 and you got an opening hand of 7.

I am in a hugely advantaged position before we even play the first card, this is what companions bring. Not to mention Lurrus for instance plays very well with good cards like Mishra's Bauble. On 3 mana if you want you play Lurrus get the bauble back use it so Lurrus becomes 3 mana draw a card and get a 3/2 that can get even more value if they don't kill him.

Crap some decks in modern can play lurrus as a companion at almost 0 cost like burn a deck that doesn't even play permanents beyond 2 mana.

I don't vote or feel strongly either way. It's more a matter of the ridiculous things the haters will invent to bash a guy who doesn't deserve it. They're as bad as the media - they want attention.

Bash a guy who doesn't deserve it? A guy who has gone out of his way to collude with foreign governments, a guy who has destroyed organizations like the CDC that would have helped us greatly during this pandemic, wants to build a giant fucking wall that will do nothing, etc...

I can go on and on Jen is exactly right Trump is a horrible leader and a horrible president period.

I swear the apologist for this guy are the worst and most of them don't even follow what's going on. It's like some guy that is not opposed to the Vietnam war that knows nothing about it back in the 60's.

"gotten?"

Anyways, I feel like the reason is because you can know somebody is a troll(based off of posting style and habits and NOT political views) because they tick off all the boxes, but there is still NO way to prove they are unless they say they are.

I mean, somebody could come in here ticking off every troll box there is but all they have to say is "nope not a troll" and then there we go.

I dont really care about marking trolls posts, but what I don't like is how you get moderated for calling somebody a troll. it makes sense, and besides, there are too many people here who DO call people a troll just because they don't agree with what the other person is saying. Its dumb but thats on us to get better i suppose.

This is like saying that the only way you know someone was cheating or lying or something is if they admit it, you don't need to prove intent to claim something is against site rules.

I am part of a sports forum and on that forum if you start talking a bunch of shit about a certain fan base or team you will likely be marked with trolling.

Smart criminals here, hold her hostage with a gun take the check and assume the cops won't come for them.

Lol, so even if her gofundme is successful she will need to do it again for her next rally. Some people really just don't use their brain.

I also love that people think that a government can order people home during a pandemic, might want to check the laws instead of just assuming.

DPsx7 posted...

Did checks go out yet? I can't wait to find nothing to buy...

Checks are going out in different waves some get theirs earlier others have to wait. The checks would have been sent sooner but Trump wanted his name on every check so they had to halt the process.

You dont get to decide if a lightning bolt hits you or the ground opens up underneath you, so... Id say you dont ever really get to decide. You might think you do, but that just isnt the case.

That may be the case it doesn't mean we should all say fuck it and throw caution to the wind. You won't start surfing on top of a car going 75 MPH because tomorrow you might have a tree fall on you.

Just because we don't know when we are going to die doesn't mean everyone should take 0 precautions.

They should all go jump out of planes without a parachute and let god decide who lives.

Just some people. Was at the grocery store at 6am for Senior Hour, to shop for myself and an elderly neighbor, pretty much all seniors there, mostly wearing masks. Was checking out (cashier now surrounded by plexiglas shields), and crowded by two women, masks dangling from their hands, shoving to load the checkout counter behind me, can't wait for me to finish, can't maintain social (or even ordinary polite) distance, obviously not seniors, obviously more than 1 person per cart.

To be fair, the media has been lying like cheap rag rugs. A month ago, painter's dust masks were no good, had to have surgical masks, now, dust masks are better. Two weeks ago, sunlight doesn't have enough UV to kill the virus, now, 3 minutes of sunlight kills the virus. Previously, social distancing was working to slow the spread of the virus, now, random testing of blood of people in low risk/low exposure communities, 30% already have coronavirus antibodies. Then, we have the aircraft carrier Roosevelt, 4800 crew working in close proximity, only 600 test positive, most are asymptomatic, and only 8 hospitalized.

Is there any truth to what we are being told, or is it all meaningless babble and panicmongering? Is the coronavirus actually that much worse than ordinary seasonal flu? Does social distancing slow the spread of the virus, or just delay people developing immunity?

You realize this is a relatively new thing and we don't know everything about it, this hasn't been studied like the common cold for over 100 years dude. Covid-19 was first discovered just last year, scientists are trying to understand it more but we don't know everything yet. You act like the news agencies are going out of their way to lie about this, let me guess your a Trump fanboy.

Not to mention really analyzing any virus takes a lot of time even if you have the best god damn scientists in the wold working on it.

You might want to seek help bro.

This is almost like the "Let them eat cake" thing.

In not the one testing. Even the president wants to stop funding testing because 1. Its coming back with terribly inconsistent results, and 2. He hates the fact that its raising the US numbers, while every other country is covering up their own numbers. So he says fuck it

Trumps #1 goal in life is to make himself look like he is doing the best thing possible at all times, and making sure he gets blamed for nothing.

shadowsword87 posted...

Yeah we know that it's spreading from just the positive tests.
What it doesn't tell me if there should be an increased production or not. Are doctors asking for the test with everyone with a cough, pneumonia, or just every person who walks by? Would increasing the number of tests available help out? Is that even an issue? What is the ideal percentage of positive rates?

That's what I don't know.

From what I hear from my relative that is a nurse at a clinic, people can't request a test unless they are showing potential symptoms. There is not enough tests to let everyone that wants a test get one.

Now I have no clue about testing stations put up to give out tests though, there you may be able to get a test no matter what.

I can't speak for how long you are infected, but I just read that three minutes in the sun kills the virus. Doesn't help when it is inside you, however.

Pretty hard to expose the inside of a human body to the sun without some very brutal violence that would likely kill the person.

2 years minimum

In Bioshock play your own way was the whole killing or saving the sisters thing and the fact that you could use different combos of powers to clear enemies.

It's not like some games like Deus Ex where you have a huge array of ways to solve problems. Anyways I thought the storyline in Bioshock was enough to keep me playing but I haven't played it in a long time. The game was far more revolutionary when it came out.

The game was not the first to use a skill tree plenty of games have done that before. The powers do play out differently though...

It's kind of a known fact that overall men age better than women. Now obviously if some guy eats a ton of junk food and really abuses their body they will also age poorly but women just have a much harder time usually.

I played Persona 4 when I most needed it - when I was a lonely, jerk of a teenager too full of himself to make friends. Never before has a piece of media encouraged me to get over myself and believe in others so strongly. The agency I felt being able to develop relationships in those games and turn it into a tangible benefit resonated with me and helped me improve myself. I mean, it's a good game on top of that, real good RPG'ing with a fantastic level curve (that Golden mucks up, admittedly), but it's one of those bits of impact that'll stick with me. Resonated with me and actually gave direction of where to go from there - that's the rare bit.

Banjo-Kazooie is also real good, funny bear game with good platforming. Probably the best mix of score attack-style action with the Note Score system and exploration with its collectathon sensibilities without overbloating itself. Turning exploration itself into a collectable with the quiz at the end is absolutely brilliant, blew my mind that the game cared as much about its world as I did growing up.

Yep, Persona taught me you need friends if you want to make stronger demons with your social links.

Call me when the Washington Redskins get their head out of their ass and change their team name.

Bow down to Sony and it's tremendously successful franchise WItcher. I am not sure why they ported the damn game to Switch though, should have kept it a PS4 exclusive.

Are the Godzilla cards going to be in the regular booster boxes or do you have to get a special product for them?
Been a long time since I've played magic.

On Arena the only way to get them right now is buy packs with gem bundles or buy the huge bundle of packs for actual $, or you get one right now for drafting the set.

Keep in mind they are just special versions of regular cards though even though the name is different they count as the same card. Luminous Broodmoth = Mothra, Supersonic Queen. Also you are just getting the style of the card meaning you still need the actual card to use it so if you get the Mothra style you still need Luminous Broodmoth to actually play it in a deck.

Been a long time since I've played magic.

The Godzilla cards are alternate art versions of regular cards, you can get them by buying pack bundles with gems and/or for drafting Ikoria on Arena. Buying packs with gold does not give you them...

You can't get the regular versions of the cards in packs though, for instance Luminous Broodmoth is the normal version Mothra, Supersonic Queen is the special version.

I don't play anything other than paper magic (and only commander) so this has been a weird time.

My commander group has been playing over webcam. We quickly learned that playing theft decks was a bad idea.

It was pretty hilarious when someone realized the Praetor's Grasp he drew was impossible to use over webcam.

I mean someone could just fan the deck out in front of his camera it would be a lot of work though and take some extra effort. He then has to direct the player to take the right card without looking at it by saying oh yeah grab that one right there and then maybe so no one over etc..

Obviously takes way more work than a typical face to face game though.

If Sekiro wasn't made by FROM software noone would be calling it a souls like game

ITs a straight up Action game. Only thing they have in common is the bonfire thing. Sekiro barely has any RPG elements, no stamina and is focused on 1 way of playing with no real upgrade system of a RPG kind.

Nioh yeah its a souls clone but with a different twist.

Okay even if you want to throw Sekiro out then you can put in Bloodborne, that game is basically Dark Souls with a slightly different twist.

Nioh, and Sekiro are also reminiscent of Dark Souls.

Yeah its very hard to track cases and deaths in China when your country is that big with no real governance outside of a few dozen cities. Its the same with any country with billions of people. A shit ton isn't going to be accounted for because they live in the middle of fucking nowhere

Well China also is basically a dictatorship and if they report the most deaths by a landslide it makes them look incompetent. This is a country that banned Winnie the Pooh because people were comparing him to their leader.

Well other countries are apparently massively under-reporting their numbers also, China for instance apparently only has 82k confirmed cases and 3342 deaths in a country with 1.4 billion people that seems like a joke.

There is no way they only had that few of cases and deaths.

idk, it was odd because I couldn't list is as new, so I have to put it as used and say it's new, and that it will only take a few days to ship not the 1 month amazon is showing because they're backlogged.

Amazon I believe has a restriction that only trusted sellers that they allow can sell games as "new".

Horizon Zero Dawn is a far better game and this coming from someone that played through and enjoyed every Borderlands game.

To be frank not seeing what's wrong with wasting a SWAT team's time having them forcefully break into someone's house and point guns at them and their family for fun is not only a bad opinion, it's psychopath territory.

I'm desperately hoping they've been working on the parts simultaneously so they can do quicker releases

The first part should take the longest, that is when they are designing character models determining how the world will look and designing every part of it getting voice actors etc...

Now some of this stuff has to be done for part 2 also but part of the work is already done.

I turn 40 in a few months and I look way better than that and don't have any of the problems.

The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation donated $100 million to the effort to help stop Covid-19 to think that he is responsible is just completely unthinkable.
