He's a bleeding heart and upset at how callous he perceives Luffy.

Worked at Starbucks for a while.
You have no idea how many people mumble, fail to listen to simple questions ("WHAT SIZE? HOT OR COLD?"), or just don't recognize the person behind the register as a human being. Even spelling it out, they'll say, "mmmNA, mm mmmmm N A" - very helpful, "Banana".

Starbucks also tends to hire a lot of minors who, for some reason, can't spell. Probably has a lot to do with the industry. But, if you took random people off the street and asked them to spell "Lindsay," or "Siobhan," I'm sure you'd get a lot of wrong answers.

I transferred my Chao to the GBA games. I got the Tails chao from PSO. But I don't think I've ever seen that screen.

D-pad copyrights are actually pretty broad, yes.

Seinfeld did what it did. It was a good sitcom.
Simpsons was packed with jokes and inherently quotable. Seinfeld had absurd realism, Simpsons really pushed satire.

If you're so morally against cheating that you cannot abet it, just drop him off and say, "Sorry, I can't help you cheat."

I guess there's an ethical argument to make for helping those you see in need, like helping a drowning child. But I think, generally, the social contract to mind your business at work is stronger than calling out a cheater.

Jesse's motivation? Money and a sense of purpose. Walt was the same but wanted a sense of power, too.
Plus, he was an addict.

People who care about ranking Pokemon games always have awful opinons on ranking Pokemon games, sorry.

SMT If... Hazama's Chapter and Persona 3 Social on mobile flip phones is probably lost forever, let alone translateable >_>

Do mobile/web games count as lost media?
There's a handful of Facebook games including a cute chocobo game I miss.
The KH mobile game shut down, but is fairly well documented. Same for Mobius FF. FFRK is on its way out globally :(

"That Elizabeth Smart? That can't really be..."
Apparently it is. Yeah, that's bizarre, weird, and awkward in so many ways.

Crash was less 3D than SMRPG.

Depends on the series. The Witcher wouldn't work with a weekly schedule, nor would most Netlflix Marvel shows. Anime should be weekly. Something like Stranger Things could go either way, though I think it definitely benefited from being binged when it released. Weekly Stranger Things would really piss some people off with certain episodes, though...

Yeah, it depends.

There was a quote by a Fed chairman, don't remember who, saying, "When we react to inflation we get it wrong more often than we get it right."

These are new conditions. It's not like my friends and relations have always had mobility issues or have always had cancer.

I like how you're such a big man coming out of left and only decided to post in this topic just to talk down disabled people.

Apply for disability, talk to a case worker, see what help you can get.

I am extremely sympathetic to people with disabilities, but you can't blame a relatively new private company and system because they don't subsidize your lifestyle. If you need help with groceries, talk to your local food banks, churches, or social workers. Here's some resources to get you started: https://www.usa.gov/disability-financial-support
If you just want McDonald's delivered to you, I don't pity you for paying $50 for a single Big Mac. That's your choice, I don't care.

Some people aren't able to leave the house. During covid I had coworkers that were on lock down so they had to order all of their food and supplies to come to their door.

I've had elderly relatives that have had mobility issues and getting up to drive was too painful and exhausting for them so they had to order in food and rely on family to pick up other essentials for them.

I've known other people that were going through chemo so they had to limit their exposure to other people to the barest minimum as much as possible because a gentle breeze could kill them.

Also sometimes people are inebriated and it's best for those people to stay off the road.

There's programs to help people with mobility issues. How did they get food and products before companies like Uber?

Uber is not your personal assistant, it's not government assistance - it's a luxury service for people who want to spend some extra money for convenience.

Yeah, that was my issue with it. If it was just once or even twice, it would have been fine. But then it just kept showing up.

They had a list of couch gags by time and used quick ones or long ones depending upon their needs. Basically they had to stretch out a lot of episodes.

GTA continues the trend of "not being made for me."

Hearthstone is also struggling.
Iksar, who worked his way up to Game Director just 6 months ago, quit under suspicious circumstances:

This comes just as Hearthstone is moving to an even more predatory model by adding a paid-only currency, runestones, and switching certain purchases from dollars or gold (which can be earned) to runestone-only.

Sept 14 (Reuters) - The average interest rate on the most popular U.S. home loan rose above 6% for the first time since 2008 and is now more than double the level it was one year ago, Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) data showed on Wednesday.
Rising mortgage rates are increasingly weighing on the interest-rate sensitive housing sector as the Federal Reserve pushes on with aggressively lifting borrowing costs in order to tame high inflation. The central bank has raised its benchmark overnight lending rate by 225 basis points since March.
Expectations for Fed tightening have led to a surge in Treasury yields since the start of this year. The yield on the 10-year note acts as a benchmark for mortgage rates.
The average contract rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose by 7 basis points to 6.01% for the week ended Sept. 9, a level not seen since towards the end of the financial crisis and Great Recession.
The MBA also said its Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, declined 1.2% from a week earlier and is now down 64.0% from one year ago. Its Refinance Index fell 4.2% from the prior week and was down 83.3% compared to one year ago.
A worse-than-expected key inflation reading on Tuesday cemented expectations the Fed will be forced to deliver a third straight 75-basis point interest rate hike at its policy meeting next week, with investors now predicting the central bank will have to hike rates faster and further than previously thought. read more
The impact of higher interest rates is being felt across the housing sector. New home sales plunged to a 6-1/2-year low in July while home resales and single-family housing starts are at two-year lows. But house prices remain elevated amid a critical shortage of affordable homes, making a housing market collapse unlikely.

I could afford to buy a house 2 years ago, can't afford rent now :(

Johnny Depp played Tonto. Benedict Cumberbatch played Kahn.
Race is a social construct, get over it, especially for a fictional non-racial character. Maybe Halle Bailey (also thought it was Catwoman) was the best audition, she certainly sounds better than Emma Watson.

BTW, have HHH tagged for previously posting race-bait stuff.

Feraligatr is a worse Gyara, minus 4x Electric weak.
Typhlosion is a worse Charizard, even has the exact same stats, minus 4x Rock weak. Moltres also kicks his ass and is a legitimately great pokemon (in GSC).
Meganium at least has a niche in GSC with its support role. It can also run an awkward SD set with EQ and Body Slam.

Meganium is very oddly the best one, competitively... at least in GSC. I think evaluated without context, it could be the worst, but given the GSC meta the other two have too much competition AND counters. Meganium can actually get in, set up a Reflect/Light Screen, Leech Seed, and help set up Marowak or Curselax.
It's absolutely the worst choice as a starter and, IIRC, GSC wild pokemon are pretty garbage until you get to Red Gyarados or get Mareep to level 30.

We don't need a board to outright trade porn, but one where we can simply push the limits around explicit content a bit more for jokes / memes / etc would be welcome. And of course, where we can spam blackmanass.jpg in every topic.

There's the Sex and Sexuality board, but it's just a wayyyy more awkward CE.

Why the hell would you post that, TC?

What chores does she do? Are chores a big problem?

If so, can you set it up so that chores are split evenly? Say, "<These> are my chores, <these> are your chores. Would you rather each person be solely responsible for their own chores, or would rather share responsibility?" If she says that each person is responsible for their own chores, make it so. If she's doing laundry and asks for help say, "Are you going to help me with the dog?"

Don't be accusatory, don't try to create conflict, but set up boundaries, test them, and communicate.

Pretty sure samsun wasn't implying that he would drop dead from their beauty, lol. There would also be a word missing if that was the case, for example "drop dead gorgeous".

Do you need a giant neon sign flashing "THIS IS A JOKE"?

assboobsgames posted...

Feel free to explain to us what "drop dead" actually means. This should be good.

a rude way of telling someone that you are annoyed with them and want them to go away or be quiet:

sensationally striking, attractive, or impressive

Hmmm....

Yeah, still should have been modded. But "fuck off" is a valid interpretation depending on context.

La Mulana 2 is another example of a game where you get SO much stronger as you level that even increasing the level of enemies makes it feel like you're a god. Your growth is basically exponential since you have more movement, stronger weapons, and higher stats. Meanwhile enemy growth is mostly linear, more HP and damage.

Plus, the dungeon is like a living breathing thing, it makes sense the it changes.

Hopefully I'll finally understand how Dragon's Dream works

I was hoping the anime would clear it up.
As I understand it, there's lucky points and unlucky points, like in Feng Shui. When the dragon is in the compass ring, it points towards lucky points. When the dragon is outside the ring, it points towards unlucky ones. When an attack is made at the dragon pointing to an unlucky point, the attack happens at that place, part 8 spoilers: similar to Wonder of U.
Kenzou's water manipulation is just a stupid part of his natural skill as an assassin. Maybe it's like hamon?

Ngl not liking this Netflix shit of it coming out in drops. This was a shitty cliffhanger. Also Jailhouse Rock fucking sucks. Really annoying last two episodes, and the solution was a major ass pull

Otherwise I really enjoyed this portion of the episodes even if there was a lot of bullshit stuff lol

I haven't watched it in the anime yes, but Jailhouse Rock is my favorite enemy stand out of all of them in the manga.

Not the words itself, but the sheer consistency of his unnecessary hostility. Coming into every single topic just to say that is...

That's not a gimmick, that is someone lashing out. That is someone that hasn't been happy in a very long time.

It's absolutely joke. I think this is the thread that gave him the idea: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/573081-hellhole/78690648
He does have bad politics, though.

"Would you rather go to the beach or read a book at home?" - that's pretty cut and dried. Unlike horoscopes, there's not a breadth of interpretation to that. Though people might extrapolate wrong ideas, but that's ultimately on them.

It's one of those things you start thinking, "OMG, this is broken!" Then move to, "Nah, this thing sucks, total garbage." Before wrapping back to, "OMG this thing really is broken."
You're at the mid stage.

Garlic lets you level aggressively early on and increases the knockback of other weapons, which is really important to survivability if you can't kill immediately. There's some weapon combos where you can just sit still because nothing can approach you faster than it gets knocked back.
