I think the problem is games pretty much need tutorials now because they don't have manuals anymore. Or even if they do no one actually spends the time to read them so they don't need a tutorial. I doubt that will ever change.

However there is no excuse for a game not having the option to skip tutorials.

yeah. is that supposed to be an own. im not a democrat

yes, i also think joe biden is inconsiderate.

The point is you can't judge people by what they thought 25 years ago, only by what they think today. Can you honestly say that you have the same opinions on everything that you had 25 years ago? No, no one can.

Neither of those people would vote in support of the same bill if it was being pushed through now. Would Bob Dole? IDK because he was never asked. So you don't know if he was still inconsiderate or if he had a change of heart.

I believe Retro Studios employees said in an interview that Nintendo (or at least the Nintendo rep they spoke to) doesn't really know what a bounty hunter is. They're using the phrase in a broad, all encompassing way like "cowboy". They just view her as a space super hero.

Well, she is probably more like a mercenary. She does get payed for the jobs (except Super Metroid, unless somehow they talked payment when she got the distress signal), but there is no "bounty" really. She is just hired to do missions.

Sometimes I get the feeling Assassin's Creed is the "Make whatever type of game you want" series, just as long as it includes an Animus. Even that gets thrown out the window in most of the side games.

I mean, the series has been Assassination, Stealth, Parkour, Tower Defense, Strategy, Ship Combat, Open World, RPG, Platformer, Collectathon, and probably a million other types I am forgetting.

Well, the term "Metroid" (or at least the "oid" part of it) comes from the fact that Samus was supposed to be an android in the original game. However, that was changed later in development to make Samus a human woman.

By what metric?

Omicron is the 15th letter of the greek alphabet (I.E., the 15th known variant of Coronavirus).

God is the alpha (1st letter) and the omega (last letter).

Therefore god is stronger since it is both the beginning and the end, while omicron is only the middle.

I think it was a great game honestly. Top 5? Probably not, but maybe top 10.

People get caught up on what we didn't get and forget that we still got a ton of stuff in the game. I put in 180 hours on just Phantom Pain, over 200 if you include Ground Zeroes. And I enjoyed all of it. If the story feels incomplete, just look up what was cut out, you can see pretty much all of the cut-scenes on Youtube. Personally, I liked what we got and didn't feel the need to look up the extras, even though I have seen them and still say they aren't critical to the story being told.

As a kid I liked Florida's Natural, since it was the cheapest not from concentrate back then(which really is the only "taste" difference in orange juice for me, and even then it is minor). Now I drink it so infrequently that store brand is good enough. That is what I bought for the cranberry sauce I made for Thanksgiving.

...it feels like you misunderstand the question, then come back to the underlying context of the question.

...Don't you do that all the time?

I didn't misunderstand it at all, the point was why be with someone if you can't trust them not to cheat on you? If they say they are going out for coffee with a friend then I will believe they are going out to coffee with a friend. If I find out later something more happened, then they broke that trust and don't deserve to be trusted again.

The problem is that not only are they 3rd party controllers (which pretty much break instantly under any kind of regular use), but they are expensive ones due to the fans. So I never really had a desire to waste money on them.

About the only exception to that rule is the Logitech PS2/PS3/PC controller I have. Pretty sure that thing is going to outlast me at this point.

I don't really think "allow" factors into it at all, she is my wife, not my property. If she wants to go out and do stuff with friends then she doesn't need my permission to do it. That said, I am with someone with the expectation that we are in a monogamous relationship and I expect her to honor that. If she doesn't want to be in a monogamous relationship anymore then I expect her to tell me so that we can discuss it and (most likely) go our separate ways to peruse what we want. If she breaks that trust, then that is her fault and she can't expect me to ever trust her again.

Of course, all this mostly applies to being in a relationship with someone, because I think the concept of marriage is outdated and stupid anyways. I don't need a government or legal entity to validate my relationship. And I certainly don't need a church to do it.

So yea, I am fine with her going out for coffee with a male friend. I just expect that to be all that happens.

That is kind of the point: Samus' gunship is meant to get her from point A to point B, not shoot down other ships.

That said, if Star Fox Adventures is any indication, Samus would wipe the floor with Fox McCloud in one-on-one combat.

Just as long as you aren't charging the full delivery cost for it.

I requested a return on a game a day or so after I got it. They ignored it for like 40 days, then sent me a notice rejecting the return saying it was outside the 30 day window. About an hour on the phone with customer service later they finally agreed to give me my money back without returning the game.

I stopped using them for games after that and switched to Best Buy. Only "problem" I have ordering games from them is they sometimes send me an extra copy when I request in-store pick-up.

That's why you just don't get insurance and drive well

Most states require you to have some form of insurance to register your vehicle.

In fact, only New Hamshire and Virginia will let you drive without anything, and with Virginia you have to pay an extra $500 a year for the privilege (and still be responsible for anything that happens to your car or others).

My dog refuses to leave the living room, even when he wants attention. Like if he sees me in the dining room (literally 10 steps away), he will sit in the living room and cry until I go into the living room. The only time he will leave the living room is if I put a leash on him and lead him into the other room.

BTW, I didn't train him to do this, he insists on doing it.

Shocker, it is almost like they care about the technologies and don't actually read your resume until you go in for an interview. Anybody who is a recruiter will tell you that.

Hell, I won't post it, but my resume is just a list of every technology I have used in my career and maybe one or two sentences about each job responsability. Nobody who reads literally hundreds of resumes cares about anything else.

So yea, not surprised on the call-back rate since they list things like Node.js, Hadoop, big data, blockchains, etc. That is the stuff companies are looking for.

Warhammer 40k

It's expensive and I have to paint

Kind of why I want to get into Battletech. They are fine with you using cardboard tokens for your army, or you can use miniatures. Even if you get into the miniatures, they are way less then Warhammer 40K (~$25 for a lance, less then $100 for a full company).

Downside is it doesn't have the broad rule-set or customization of Warhammer 40K.

War hammer is one, Model RC planes is a good one since most people can't afford it or have a place to fly.

Not as common anymore, but when my dad was into RC planes there used to be tons of parks around where you could fly them. Basically take a tag with a number on it, put it on your receiver and plane, and fly as much as you wanted.

I think most of those places are disc golf courses now.

Anyways, I always wanted to get into off-road driving. But even the introductory cost for that is like $5000 and requires you to do all your own mechanic work.

essentially everyone qualifies at this point

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html

You are eligible for a booster if you are:
65 years or older
Age 18+ who live in long-term care settings
Age 18+ who have underlying medical conditions
Age 18+ who work or live in high-risk settings

Pretty safe to assume most people don't fit into those categories (I don't).

Anyways, my 6 months will be in December, but I am going to wait to see what my company says about boosters and what their regulations are regarding them (and if I will even need to go into an office again come January).

I wear my clothes to the point when they start disintegrating, and only buy new stuff when I need it. I literally have clothes that are from high school that I still wear.

Although, with shoes I usually keep a good pair (going out in public), and a "work" pair (yard work, walking, etc.). I replace the good pair about once every 2-3 years and make the old ones my new "work" pair.

I still own the originals on the PS2. Sadly my PS2 died. I would buy another but lack the space to setup ANOTHER console at this point and my PC sucks. I'll probably end up picking up this remaster at some point due to nostalgia. Vice city is my favorite.

I have the trilogy on PC and PS2. I was honestly looking forward to the remaster because while I don't subscribe to people who say "X game hasn't aged well" since a good game is always a good game, I still think the controls are horrible. I mean, the controls always sucked, but it is just more obvious now that we have more modern games to compare them too.

And, admittedly, even though I love playing with mods, the PC ports are bad and I also don't want to hook up my PS2 again.

https://www.registrarcorp.com/nutrition-facts-requirements-for-coffee-tea-and-spices/

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires Nutrition Facts labeling on food products sold in the United States, whether they are produced domestically or outside of the United States. Coffee, tea, and spices may be exempt from FDA nutrition labeling requirements if they contain insignificant (by FDAs definition of the term) amounts of all nutrients required to be included in the Nutrition Facts panel (fda.gov).

Pretty sure the same applies to Canada as well.
