Fucking 2%?

I thought those guys were supposed to be highly intelligent, not 1/50.

All the pieces were from bought sets, the instructions are up there in a drawer with all the pieces... I would think the pieces would be there, I was kinda meticulous as a kid and had most of the sets memorized and could put them together by heart >_>

Didn't really specify, but they are at my mother's house, and I know she mentioned letting kids play with the toys in the attic a couple times when people were staying over. Actually asked me if I minded one time I was over for some holiday lol, I told her I didn't. Don't know if they played with the legos but they might have.

i mean, he's already been effectively canceled for other sexual assault convictions

was thinking I couldn't remember the last movie he was in

not quite

* that was @ #43

They are trying to extend the statute of limitations for a civil case, that already had it extended once.

They ruled creating a look back window past that statute was unconstitutional

*iirc when statute of limitations are increased for crimes it is normally for any crimes committed after the new law was put into place, it cant retroactively go back and extend it for old cases

Its called brine and its an auto kill

It would be hilarious if the sequel to that awful movie became a cult classic and was secretly one of the best horror movies released in decades.

eh, I'd watch based off the trailer... looks fun

I know PC is better but the only thing that annoys me is when my PC Master Race friends go on about how consoles hold back gaming. Yeah if games were only on PC graphics etc would be at an overall higher level but not nearly as many games would be being made without the consumer base provided by consoles. Like others have pointed out in the topic, the vast majority of people will not bother with building a custom PC.

It's also a complete and utter lie.

If that were the case everything would look like fortnite or wow, so enough people would actually be able to play it to turn a profit... cutting edge with a tiny install base is never going to happen unless they are charging you thousands for fucking software.

I have thousands of lego bricks in the attic from when I was a kid, literally a 3 ft x 3ft x 4.5 ft shelving rack of drawers sorted by color & specialty pieces... I shudder to think how much they would cost these days.

HSI's area of responsibility includes smuggling, in this case possibly people, guns and drugs. They have a kind of "X-files" focus, taking cases that may not fit the more traditional law enforcement focus that the FBI, ATF, DEA or CBP have.

You would think that would already be covered by the FBI, DEA, and ATF just for this case alone, do we really need 4 government agencies getting in a pissing match over who has jurisdiction?

I never rated it as high as a couple people here, but I thought it was decent (by itself)

as an Asimov fan it was hot garbage

this is great

zitkin's post in another topic about a mario game(hypothetical) where he could switch through the FF job classes just reminded me this exists... sucks it's so low

alright, that was kinda fun... I remember seeing a few episodes (sorry, I know, don't know the term) back in 2002 and finding them cheesily enjoyable, but also kind of having that teen "I'm too cool for stuff I find kinda cringely stupid" feeling

I mean it's true, but that's why it's great

that's a sentence

Honestly, I was kind of hoping for some weird video game picture for this one... only reason I clicked, like from fable 3 or something >_>

I really don't care and no I don't think that.

But if you can't understand why he posted the article, and how it could be seen as backing his point I don't know what to tell you.

That is all I was ever saying.

*ugh, and you are doing exactly what you are accusing me off, you have no bloody idea what the metrics were except that this was specifically put in place as a dei measurement that backfired, I very much doubt it was weighted that impractically but who knows... that's kinda the point, people on here seemingly intentionally misunderstanding each other is really weird, is it all really just trying to mod bait people?

ech, that vid was creepy, I actually agree with the other person about it being too late,,, I can watch awful violent crap before bed, read horrible news stories and watch raw footage (still not pleasant) and don't get that feeling. It is specifically a creepy feeling, kinda odd.

did you, did you actually read it?

The trial found assigning a male name to a candidate made them 3.2 per cent less likely to get a job interview.

Adding a woman's name to a CV made the candidate 2.9 per cent more likely to get a foot in the door.

I thought the dudes point was that dei was discriminatory because as the article said, everyone thought this would be amazing and help... but oh no, when they just look at the data more men are hired

*...the word being there shouldn't matter, I made it pretty clear I was talking about him posting the article and his reasons for it

Well, seeing as the general strategy among the right is a grassroots replacement of officials they believe to be corrupt with people they feel they can trust at the local, county, and state levels in order to affect the higher institutions in the long run, having someone representing your side at that lower level would definitely be useful towards combating your oppositions plans.

THANK YOU

what year is this?

damn, guess he got tired of people saying he was all talk...

dear lord lol... THE POINT OF POSTING THE ARTICLE

I read the bloody thing, this is exactly what I mean

I didn't say it made me feel bad.

I posted "...when two people..." semi amusedly, and semi resignedly during the day on a break.

I log in now and the response was fuck off, so you get the response telling you that your mental state ain't in the right place, just as a fyi

nah don't think I will

but you get back to telling who the evil people are because you didn't like a meme, that seems healthy

no u, this place is getting insufferable... I tend to pull gfaqs up during the day on short breaks, especially if I just need random stuff to read/look at to clear my head, and even the meme thread is like this.

The constant negativity around here is like a disease, can't even have a brief smile on your face for a couple minutes.

I've been through this, it's nasty friend, be very very careful.

I thought the point of the article was that dei is unfair/racist/bigoted, because when they looked at the applications based on merit (experience/scores/etc) even more men were hired... so the arguments that women or poc are being discriminated against because they are a woman, and everyone knows they could do the job at least as well as a man aren't lining up.

When they couldn't choose based on gender or skin color, it showed that hiring practices were being screwed and the best applicants were not getting the positions.

...anywho, get back to your topic, I just like reading these things and trying to follow along with what people are thinking... which is literally FUCKING EVIL I have been told and not something people around here like doing

...when two people don't pass the purity tests for memes

Damn I actually cant pick a choice Ill just wait for poll results

Thats what were going to look like to aliens

He means like the Italian bmt specialty sub wouldnt count for the 5 dollar footlongs.

I remember it was like that for a while, but iirc it was only near the beginning or end of when they ran that promotion

The game is on gamepass if you want to play it fyi

Friends,

I got one, played starfield on it. for like 500 hours.

brought it to my daughters. it sat there for like 5 weeks, noone played, it

Brought it back.. it sat here for 3 weeks. not even hooked up.

I Played persona 3.. I Play like a dragon, on my playstation.

I finally hooked it up. and played Oblivion... But I also have a
360 and a one... so I really did not need to use it.

I might be happy to trade you for a playstation 5.. I will
even THROW in starfield...and 20 bucks.

could have played both those other games on gamepass without buying them... actual silly amount of stuff I have actually wanted to play on there

There is a scientific theory that there is a large entity devouring galaxies out there. Whether it's a humanoid or not is not really explained, but it is definitely a scientific theory that many scientists seem to agree on.

Of the ones I've actually played, Avatar: Frontiers f Pandora. It's held up by good visuals alone and good visuals alone.

Actually, the crafting system and the way it is integrated into the natural world is pretty epic.

They recently had to nerf the shit out of the game and make finding legendary components baby mode because everyone was too stupid to try and figure it out. (tbf, people expected it to be simple and didnt understand that not only did specific plant spawns have quality, but there was still lots of variation as each plant type has preferred weather, time of day, and harvesting method, not only that you could craft food that gives a 10-20% buff to the core stats of the material when harvested.

That would be for just one specific type of bark, with only one or two epic quality spawns on the map. When you went to craft you would have 2-3 types of bark in the same tier (dam/health ranges) at a time, with 7-8 total, and they all add different specific flat bonuses as well, perhaps 18% weak spot damage, or gain a 40% damage reduction for 10 seconds after breaking line of sight for 3, or even homing arrows on your full auto short bow.

If you put in the time you could make a fully customizable god Navi all based on the natural in game world (which looked fucking amazing) and had major incentive to actually explore it.

But everyone was like lol, baby mode ubi game, so the natural pandora experience got lowered down to their expectations because it wasnt that they didnt bother to learn the systems, the game was too hard for how simple it was.

When with a combination of skills and gear from the first area, you could have +40% damage to marked enemies and +15% (stacking up to three times) on kill turning you into a fucking berserker as long as you scouted first. That is from one skill and 3 pieces of gear (or a mod), oh yeah each weapon or gear piece has two mod slots that add bonuses akin to the 40% damage reduction one.

That didnt even add any defensive options to that build. You have 5 armor slots and 4 weapons slots for a total of 9. So, for those that were counting that is 27 buff slots total, plus all the skills in the game.

The bonuses for gear stack, even if you think its OP enough that it is a flat bonus, and many can be applied multiple times (ex: getting +45% dam on kill is easy for a total of +135% after 3, fire a burst of machine gun into those pint sized humans, then run up and kill the mechs with one shot from your bow (if you could hit weak points at speed)... or stack 3 of the 40% damage reduction after breaking LoS, one from a material bonus, one from a vendor mod, one has to be a world drop mod (game knowledge is rewarded).

If you still need a boost, eat a food that gives a +50% damage bonus lasting an hour and persists on death.

The customization and combat were actually really good with enemies being a serious enough threat to incentivize and justify digging in.

This is where those stupid easy mode arguments break down btw, difficulty forces play styles and engagement. When its gone, people dont even realize the systems are there and if they just go LOL ubi game, they dont either.

This one actually kinda annoyed me (not you, the situation with the game), because I took the time to dig in after getting waxed a couple times and was frankly shocked by what was all there. The game does not give a single fuck if you are OP, but you are going to have to know what you are doing and work for it ...even then the enemies are not afraid to push your shit in if you slip up or let your buffs drop/lapse. With giant predators ambushing you on the ground and in the sky that will kill you in one hit, especially at the beginning, it makes the world feel dangerous and exciting. Learning how to kill those monsters in one hit was the only way to get the best crafting materials in the game, and wasnt easy.

There actually was a lot to do in the world, form questlines that gave craftable gear patterns so you could have godly gear that gave the exact bonuses in every slot, to health bonuses that worked through the buffs multiplicatively, to skill points so you could have an infinite revive on death skill as long as you had two random food item (available from the first world map section), to cosmetics, Most people just never took the time or bothered to see what was there, just (attempting) to run through the main storyline missions like it was CoD back when they still did single player.

If people had taken the time, looked around, and tried things out, they might have had a different opinion of the game.

This website is fucked, it keeps telling me it's trying to give me a virus when I try to edit my post... I got kicked out like 10 times and have been trying for an hour ...because I have problems and free time today.

I am annoyed, and even my stubbornness is close to giving up.

Guess leaving something open long enough to actually read through isn't something that is required of this site anymore.
