If you can drive a stick, look to get a Ford Fiesta.

It ain't gonna get you laid, but I regularly get 40 miles to the gallon and after the initial 3000 miles you only need to change the oil once a year or every 10000 miles.

If you can't drive a stick, don't get a Fiesta though. I've heard the automatic transmissions on them are dogshit and will get you killed on highways.

This is part of the "getting around it" thing, because if you add a little screw to it you can call it a belt buckle and get away with it I think.

Pacino refused to lend his likeness to the Godfather game (which came out around the same time and had the rest of the cast on board) because he respected the series so much, but he had no problem with Scarface.

I remember reading an interview where he said he specifically did it because Coppola was against the game, where as with Scarface the movie was always meant to be mindless fun so he thought a game about it was no big deal

It is what it is. I have barely played it since I bought it in December, so I KIND of regret it.

But I'm sure a day will come when I want to play an SNES game and I'll be glad I have it. I'm just holding out on buying an NES one now cause I play NES games even less than SNES.

I thought it was funny how Trump claimed if he lost, it meant that the election was tampered with. And then everyone said he was super wrong and that was a horrible thing to say and blah blah blah.

But now like, ever since he won the entire narrative is been that the election was tampered with lol.

(And before anyone gets upset, I'm not saying it wasn't I just find the whole flip flop funny. I've always thought our elections are tampered with in some way by both sides)

Brass knuckles are legal in Georgia, as are guns. \_()_/

The South is the lawless lands

Looking into it, they are legal in most states. It looks like California, Illinois, Michigan, Vermont and funny enough Texas are the only states where they are strictly forbidden. (which I'm glad to find out cause I go into Illinois all the time and have my Brass Knuckes in the car.)

John Krasinski is like doing a bunch of military and spy movies/shows now. He's the new Jack Ryan I think.

Steve Carell got pretty big.

I see Rainn Wilson in stuff once in a while.

Mindy Kaling got her own show IIRC

Weren't most of them just writers/character actors though?

Dont miss out on your dialysis treatments, it might affect your position in the transplant list. Dont you have a late shift where you do dialysis? DaVita usually has late shifts at their centers after 4pm where you walk in any time till like 6-7pm.

Lol they already have me on a hold cause my dipshit doctor gave me steroids that caused me to gain weight and put my BMI over the limit

I went but I have no faith in getting a transplant cause of the goofy rules

Right? I wasn't doing mgs when 4 came out so don't know if people mentioned this, but I never see any other posts expressing annoyance at mgs 4 not having the voice back. I feel like not enough people seemed bothered by it.

I was, especially since he had it in MGS2.

Most people just hand waved it and just said Kojima was right to change it or something.

The only thing about the movie that I thought really did this was the whole "weaponizing hyperspace" thing.

Other than that it was just a really mediocre movie. Luke losing faith doesn't undermine Star Wars (I actually didn't mind this, it was kind of interesting), neither does Rey being super good for no reason, that one is just shitty/boring writing.

Honestly, Luke dying wouldn't have even bothered me that much if I had just heard him tell Rey that the Force would be with her always as they flew away.

Every game from 3 on has been a power fantasy that makes you feel near invincible by the end.

Yeah, I think this is the reason that I don't enjoy Far Cry 4 and 5 as much by the time I get to the end cause they give you this power fantasy, but then try to make you feel bad for it.

I love the games as I play them though, I actually *really* loved Far Cry 2 despite my complaints of "seriousness" but it probably was because it felt consistent until the end.

Either that or I'm just a scatterbrain, who knows?

When I applied for welfare I was told I couldn't get it specifically *because* I didn't have enough debt since I paid off my car.

Basically, if I then went out and got a car note, they would have subtracted that from what I make and then I would have hit the poverty level to be approved for it. Or at least that's what it sounded like.

The biggest bullshit was that they wouldn't count my medical debt since they claimed if I didn't pay it it wouldn't effect my credit. (which, they were right and I just started paying the very basic minimum amount so I didn't need welfare after that)

Far Cry 2 was the last one with a serious tone. 3-5 went really odd directions with eccentric enemies. 2's setting was very grounded and believable.

I guess serious isn't exactly the correct word, but I'm mostly talking about that weird thing where they try to play it off as if there is some meaning or message to the story at the end which really flies in the face of everything you've done and the game itself.

It's done halfway decent as a twist in Far Cry 3. In Far Cry 4 it just feels kind of tacked on but it still wasn't that bad

But in Far Cry 5 it just comes off as really stupid. The actual story presented through the gameplay (notes, dialogue, side missoins, etc. etc.) present Joseph and his cult as horrible horrible people. They're literally torturing/brainwashing/killing anything they come across. They even have Joseph reveal that he murdered his baby because "God" told him to do it. They're all awful, yet when you get to the end it turns out Joseph was *right* to do all this and *you* were the bad guy because apparently you trying to stop atrocities against your fellow man instigated the end of the world because of prophecy or God willing it or what the fuck ever.

But yeah, I just thought the main story was really weird and awful for trying to be something different from the rest of the game. It was like I'd be having a lot of fun doing goofy over the top stuff, then I'd get captured and everything would get moody and serious and not fun.

You can call them in wherever and fly anywhere on the map in one of the fastest forms of transportation, with a "helicopter" and jet in one aircraft. You will be so much more efficient in everything you do, especially VIP work.

1. You can't call them in "Wherever" if you don't have the hanger, and even then the hanger still spits them out in predetermined locations while calling in a Buzzard with CEO Vehicles calls it in right next to you.

2. The speed of the Hydra is offset by how much skill it takes in landing it quickly. You'll be torn apart by any vehicle with homing missiles these days.

3. The only VIP work worth doing is Headhunter, and it's much more efficient with a Buzzard than a Hydra unless you're triggering it out in the countryside instead of the city, which you should never do anyways.

Serious isn't the right word I guess. It's more like Far Cry 3, 4 and 5 try to be deep or feel like they're trying to have some sort of weird message to the story by the end and it always comes off half assed and feeling out of place. Far Cry 3 and 4 a lot less than Far Cry 5 though. Far Cry 5 really feels like there is a huge dichotomy between the main story writer and the side quest writer.

I loved Far Cry 2, but I also played the modded version that fixed a lot of problems.

I still think Far Cry needs to stop trying to be "serious". There's a reason everyone loves Blood Dragon. You don't need to be as goofy as Blood Dragon, but honestly the perfect Far Cry to me would basically be a hybrid Predator/Commando rip off.

https://imgtc.com/i/XLz4tpM.jpg

It isn't as replayable IMO.

The first time through I thought it was great.

The second time through it seems way too easy and the story missions bring everything to a grinding halt that just isn't as fun.

Also the story was shit, and that's saying something since we're talking about Far Cry.

I really really liked Hours of Darkness though. I really wish they'd just full blown embrace the over the top and campiness instead of trying to do the semi serious stuff.

Toys R Us "died" like 20 years ago for me, when they integrated Kids R Us and basically took away half the stock of toys.

From there, shit just got worse. Shit was never stocked, the place was dirty as fuck, weirdo employees, etc. etc.

Lucky for me I turned 10 right around then so I wasn't going to Toys R Us nearly as much.

If I were to give you any tips, it would be to do whatever you have to do to rank up to 130 as quickly as possible (at this rank, your health maxes out and you can store the maximum amount of extra bulletproof vests)

As soon as you are able to afford them, get the cheapest CEO office and a vehicle warehouse (not the cheapest, but the one in which you like the location most. middle of the map is better tactically, the docks location is also okay because it is close to the highways. I have a docks warehouse myself)

Import/Export is the biggest money maker in GTA Online for a solo player if you know what you're doing. It's not hard to figure out the trick to getting 100k sales every 20 minutes from it but since you're just starting i won't bore you with it here.

Avoid biker businesses. They're all money sinks unless you have a dedicated biker crew. If you absolutely have to have one, Cocaine would be the one to get as you can actually earn decent money from it playing solo.

Bunkers (aka Gunrunning business) are nice passive income but require a HUGE initial investment so this is something that you should look at way way WAY down the line and even then I'd say maybe skip it.

Hangers are a waste of money unless you're really *really* into flying. That shit is an expensive

Weaponized vehicles are a major part of the game now, but honestly the only things worth getting are the Buzzard Attack Helicopter and the Oppressor Rocket Bike. But because you need to spend a shit ton of money in the bunker in order to unlock missiles for the oppressor, it's better to just buy the flying delorean because missiles come standard on it. It's slower than the oppressor but you spend WAY less money in the long run.

Hydras are a big waste of money, If you really want a jet to grief just pay the 5000 to have cops not chase you and steal a Lazer from the airbase.

Other than that, just keep an eye on double cash and RP missions and sales on things
