Holy shit so apparently, a white sheet is put over the girl's upper body and the guy goes to work while the elders and father stay in the room to make sure he doesn't enjoy himself.

Totally gonna try this one day. I'm going to look the father right in the eyes when all is said and done, too with a huge grin on my face.

Hell yeah CE

wait @megATOMOS who is the guy with tom and is he gay? and is it the same guy in every pic you've posted?

if not then it's more likely a bromance

Nobody knows if he is gay. What we do know is that him and Tom are very good friends. They're always together and Tom hired him as a "personal assistant" when Spider-Man Homecoming was being filmed. Naturally, you would think they are lifelong bros but some of the things they do together bring up the question if they may be more than friends. Of course, it's nobody's business so who really cares. I say let them be happy hanging out with each other. Not many people get good friends like that.

Sorry TC, this isn't /tv/.

Also, Holland is more toned than ripped due to his dancing. If that's ripped then some of the guys I exercise with in the gym would be hulk mode to some of you lol

Going to do a soft bump since I'm busy. The Nexus seems decent enough so far. I really hope some new intelligent species are introduced besides The Kett.

This game is weird. It doesn't feel like Mass Effect.

It's less stiff as the original gameplay.

Honestly, I enjoyed it well enough but it needed a year of polish

It does feel like it could have used more polish. Can't imagine how the game was originally unless I uninstall the updates.

Bethesda will not let fan complaints and criticisms define what games it works on or releases.

That's according to PR and marketing dude Pete Hines, who said he's well aware of a critical fanbase, but won't let the dissenting voices influence the publisher's plans with the likes of Skyrim, Fallout and Doom.

"We're aware of it, but we're not going to let it define what we do," Hines said in an interview with GamesRadar.

"Ultimately, we're going to try and do the things that we think are the best for the games that we're making, because that's, honestly, all I can really control.

"I went to Todd [Howard, Skyrim creator] a couple of E3s ago and said 'everybody's going to ask us about The Elder Scrolls 6. You have to help me, you have to help me come out and say what the studio's path is, and when The Elder Scrolls 6 is coming, to try and manage expectations'."

Fans may cry for The Elder Scrolls 6 when Bethesda announces Skyrim for Switch, or Fallout 4 VR when it announces Doom VFR, but Hines made it clear that his development teams "aren't just a vending machine where you press for the soda and they just go back and forth they want to be able to stretch their legs creatively, or try a new idea, or do something different and not just fall into the same pattern."

He pointed to an example of another development team's success this year, praising Guerilla Games' for stepping away from Killzone to create Horizon Zero Dawn. "It might be my favorite game this year," he said.

Havent dont a second playthrough and probably wont... but i did one full go PRE PATCH... so yeah

Thats also partially because the game is LOOOOONG

Longer than the previous games? I usually clocked between 30-35 hours on the previous Mass Effect games.

It's the nature of Gotham. It's citizens don't give a shit and the police are corrupt. Plus, it's kind of cursed so bad things happen all the time.

I'm not seeing why any of that would really bother Spider-Man.

It's just an entirely different atmosphere compared to NYC where the majority of the people love you. A lot of messed up shit happens in Gotham and sometimes, it even gets to Batman. Who knows how Peter would handle knowing that guys like The Joker has filled entire graveyards and he didn't do enough to stop it. Guilt is a big part of his character.

That's not what happened in that video at all. It looks like it's the opposite in fact, and you're just projecting your anti-let's play shit onto Terry Crews out of no where. He didn't say let's plays were dumb, he just talked about how he didn't understand at first, so he decided to get involved in his son's life.

Like, idk where you're getting that wall of text paragraph about let's play's from, but it wasn't Terry Crews.

I never said the wall of text was from Terry Crews tho
---

...

He literally recognized that his son was using streamers/Youtubers as surrogate friends and he fixed that by getting involved into video games. The moral of the story is why the fuck would you watch LPs in your spare time?

LPs are a lazy, brainless substitute for friends and an excuse to not think or strive. It's a mentally and emotionally destructive pastime that is destroying the youth. These "online personalities" are creatively bankrupt failures who profit from children and beta orbiters. They do not inspire any sort of growth or critical thought in their viewers. They do not have skills to display or anything good to say. It is an intellectually poisonous activity whose effects will be more clearly seen in about ten or twenty years from now as their victims physically (definitely not mentally) grow up.

I want a job where I can mindlessly do my task without having to worry about anything major, I get overwhelmed easily, which leads to panic,which leads to mistakes, which leads to me beating the hell out of myself mentally and that leads to more panic, leading to more mistakes. For example, the second time I was called back to my job, it was to drive one of the forklifts, they assured me that it was easy, come time for me to actually get in the thing, I instantly forgot everything I learned and nearly ran over the instructor, me and him agreed'd that I should move to another department then and there, which worked out well til my dumbass took the bait and stayed in the area with all the mega big boxes like shoes, sports goods,toys and and more shoes because no one else would do it and I thought I was being helpful by doing it and helping myself because I got to be alone, turns out nobody hardly touches that shit because you can't meet your hourly quota of 30-40 boxes by doing that crap combined that with me stopping to unclog the box shoot that leads to the trash from time to time because again, I thought I was being helpful and bye bye job.

Being fired is all kinds of humiliating, they call you to a room, they have you sign the release and this whole time there's this big Debo looking motherfucker in the doorway ready to spinning pildriver you into the ground if you don't take the news well and he will follow you all the way til you leave the grounds.

Sheesh, that's rough. I wouldn't mind a job where I didn't have much to worry about right now. I already have enough on my plate.

It seems like OP dislikes Sales.

Having to persuade people to do things you yourself wouldn't do is job I can't do well myself.

I can see how obnoxious that would be especially if my hours (aka pay) depended on it.

It's why I can't work on commission.

Yes, I hate Sales. Didn't even know I would be doing Sales when I applied for the position until the interviewer broke the news to me in person. I didn't even see Sales in the job description. It was awful.

TC you should get a warehouse job, they're easy as hell provided you can stay on the move for 10 hours without feeling like you're gonna die. Your only responsibilities depending on your department are how fast you work, from my experience at least 40 items per hour is what you should be hitting but that's for things like replenishing, I did packing the last time I worked one and it was awful, standing in place for 10 hours sucks, it's easier to be able to move around like sorting or picking. If you're a social person it can go quick, if you're not, you get to wear headphones with only one of them in your ear. The pay is better than retail,too usually 11.80 to 12.50 an hour with bonus pay for people who want to work holidays and overtime.

However, don't go to Amazon, those guys are slave drivers, their demands are absurd and they're real sticklers about getting people to work overtime.

Hm, perhaps this may be something worth checking into.

I just despise the selling aspect. Ringing people out and stocking is fine but trying to convince them to spend more money is something I can go without. Personally, I hate it when I go shopping and someone tries to get me to buy what they are selling.

That blows that you have to do so much extra shit like push subscriptions. Would anyone know if you didnt and just told the consumers to have a nice day?

Yeah, there's a way of keeping count. I have to hit at least 5 magazines, 3 subscriptions, and 3 gift cards per shift. It sucks, bro. If I don't meet my goal, the manager will have a talk with me and I lose hours.

are you sure you're not just anxious or lazy or something and looking for a reason to hate it?

No, I'm a hard worker. Some of the people training me were surprised at how quickly I picked up on how to sell to people. If I were shelving books or just ringing people out, it would be no problem. Having to try to convince people to buy what I'm selling and being fake as hell bothers me.

You dont owe your employer anything. Find something else and quit. It doesn't matter if you just started, it's best to move on so you don't even have to put it on your resume.

I quit 2 jobs back to back where I only worked there 3 months. Sometimes it's just not a good fit.

True, I should start looking for something else in the meantime.

It's awful. The job description online didn't say anything about having sell subscriptions to people. Yeah, I have to ask every customer if they want to fork over an extra $25 for a membership plus I have to ask if they want magazines for free for several months until they have to cancel it themselves which takes about 10 minutes because you have to call. I have to try to convince these people to spend more money or else I get less hours.

Nobody likes the manager because he's a hard ass who likes to rush the customer out the store 30 minutes prior to closing. My coworkers seem chill but I've already seen how they like to gossip to each other. Fuck man, I just want to stock or something. I hate being fake for hours on end. I feel dead on the inside and I don't have a girl or someone worthwhile to go home to afterwards.

Just needed to vent/blogfaqs. I have to work again about one hour and I'm really not looking forward to it. I'm so miserable, bros. I would quit but I just started so it would probably look bad.

People should be very wary of that game.

It's trying to manipulate and confuse people into thinking it's "the next Bloodborne/Souls game" made by the people who made Dark Souls/Bloodborne, when it's not.


The game has tried to draw these comparisons, and that leaves you having to wonder and ask: why doesn't it think it can stand on its own merits?

Trying to court the Souls fanbase is a dangerous proposition. You might attract a lot of dedicated consumers to try your product, but if it doesn't live up to their very scrutinising expectations, might end up another Lords of the Fallen. >_>

Well, I can tell you one thing. As of right now, it looks better than Lords of the Fallen and The Surge does. Maybe the game will fall flat on its face when release comes but I'll stay hopeful.

Square Enix held a special Active Time Report live stream session at TGS 2017, where they shared more on Final Fantasy XV and a bit on their plan to continue its development into next year.

The continuation of the development comes from the strong demand of fans asking for Final Fantasy XV to continue further and its story further enriched. Episode Ignis was expected to be the last content for the game, but Square Enix has decided to keep adding content to the game into next year.


The development theme is to properly fill any holes left in the story and to make Final Fantasy XV complete. Director Hajime Tabata said “It won’t only be about digging further into characters through additional episodes, but we must show more for the setting of the world that is its base in order to better depict how its characters are living.

Tabata put a lot of emphasis on that last part and said he’s putting together a group to make it happen.
