Jirard said on discord that a statement is "coming soon."

I am still having fun with it. What am I supposed to talk about exactly?

Been going on for awhile. Just getting back on a freeway.

Fresh meme hot off the presses.

I'll be honest. Some of those pics fucked me up.

the silence is deafening

Watched Jobst video.

The Completionist is not looking good. Basically just looks like he was lying for years, either on purpose (bad), or cause he was extremely ignorant of the charity he was on the board for created for his late mother (also bad).

Watching the video I was wondering why this didn't come out before Indie Land 2023, which was only held a few weeks ago, but it appears that they waited to see if they would make a statement about this or keep repeating the same lies (seems like they just kept lying, even after being made aware of what was known).

I have nothing against The Completionist besides the fact that I have never seen someone try so hard to be funny all the time and never even be remotely funny. It is seriously amazing how unfunny he is.

SOFIRN IF22A

Bought it cause it was only sale. Not bad for $35.

If you won your job would have been to oversee the care and maintenance of the township roads, fire and police protection, cemeteries, parks and recreation, zoning, and waste disposal.

The only thing that I know my township really deals with is snow plows. Beyond that there really isn't much going on.

I wrote myself in for township trustee.
There were no candidates on the ballot, only write in.
31 votes total, 10 for an approved write in candidate and then 21 that were not valid (including me), so I really only needed to get 10 more votes and I can get elected, and if I get on the ballot I would basically win by default.
Important to note that I don't know what the township trustees do and I don't actually want the job, but something to consider.

For reference here is the flashlight I already owned.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/08846bba.jpg
It is very bright for its size (smaller than a can of pop) and lights up a lot of area.

Here is the new one
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/e9a91c49.jpg

It is smaller than my other one, but as you can see lights up a very specific area with a focused beam. Rated for 460 meters but I didn't shine it across the fields near my house so I don't know what it looks like at long distances, looks like it'll do a good job when aiming at something specific.

Not sure why you wasted money on an ubisoft and a sports game, but Control, FFXII, Spyro, and xcom are all solid pics.

They were both in the $10 category and I honenstly have most good games they had at that price, so it was kind of slim pickings.
I grabbed New Dawn cause I have every other Far Cry game so might as well complete the collection.
Got PGA cause I didn't have a golf game for my current XBOX, nice to have an option for every sport available.

It is the 4 for $20/$40 sale on used games they have several times a year.
My pick ups this time in alphabetical order:

Control Ultimate Edition
Far Cry New Dawn
Final Fantasy 12 Zodiac Age
Hasbro Family Fun Pack (Scrabble, Monopoly, Risk, Trivial Pursuit)
Pac-Man World Re-Pac
PGA 2K1
Spyro Reignited Trilogy
XCOM 2 Collection

Total with Taxes/Shipping: $72

Shudder is better but there is a bunch of random stuff I personally want to watch on Full Moon

Canceled after one season. Removed from the service a week later.

Anybody who has strong Amber Heard feelings is fucking weird.

What happened when I use up my 100 boosts?

So the Hamas are bad? Because I see everyone saying they stand with Israel

The recent attacks killed a lot of civilian, which most agree is bad (though it seems like they think that selectively), so people are saying they are with Israel and not Hamas.

Israel has treated the Palestinian people terribly for years, taking land they live on and killing civilians.
Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist group, launched an attack on Israeli military and civilian targets. It was one of the larger attacks against Israel from the Palestinian side ever.

Sad thing is, he didn't used to be like this. Back in the early days of Red Eye he was still conservative leaning, but didn't take himself so seriously and wasn't so extreme.

Land management (a term that covers a bunch of different things) would help prevent forest fires. But that would be federal spending and he is most likely against any program that would pay for something like that, so him even mentioning it is pointless.

Only done a few Main missions, a few random side missions. Just been landing on random planets and walking around.
Still a lot of systems I am getting the hang of, like gathering resources, upgrades, and most everything ship related.
There's just so much to do in this game if you choose to do it.

I rarely play long games, so I am curious how I will feel after 40 hours or so, but I am having fun so far.

I normally get up around 5:30.
I could make a breakfast burrito or something while I watch...

Yes. There is always a shit team or two.

Do you actually watch arthouse films, or basically just superhero popcorn flicks? What countries do you like for films?

I watch a lot of random stuff.
For older movies there is really no rhyme or reason to what I watch. A few years ago I only watched thrillers, last year I only watched stuff from the 90s. Usually its just a random movie I come across on IMDB.

For newer movies I usually default to three categories

• any new horror movie
• big popular movies
• movies likely to be nominated for Oscars.

I'm up to 116 but I'm way behind my usual pace. Been playing way more video games this year and just busy with life stuff. I'll pick up the pace soon though.

I am gonna plant a pear tree next year.

Looks really nice! How did it taste?

Pretty damn good!
For my first attempt I really can't see much to change.
It is a little tarter than most pies, but that is because of the apples. I still don't actually know what kind of apples they are.

inloveanddeath0 posted...

You didn't pick them?

I picked them fresh yesterday before I made it. Then peeled and diced them. My peeler fucking sucks though, that part just pissed me off.

Here is a shot from a week or so ago of all the apples in the tree.

Filling and topping from scratch.
I didn't do this previously because my tree barely produced apples, but then half of it fell over last year and now I have a ton.

I'm interested in it and plan on watching it, but the commercials I have seen are horrible.

i think thats just called moving

They never said you would be able to.

1. I Heart ?
2. What to Wear
3. The 1
4. New Romantics
5. I'd Lie

Honorable Mention: Our Song, Stay Stay Stay, Betty, Paper Hearts, 22, Blank Space

MinnMax is a youtube channel that is video game related and super positive, its not one person thought, its a group that rotates in and out

Easy Allies is basically the same thing as MinnMax, good vibes all around

Jeff Grubb's Game Mess is good too.

I understand how you feel TC, but im with your friends on this one. Id never want to hook up one of my single friends with another one of my single friends. If it doesnt work out its a whole shitstorm of choosing sides and not knowing who to believe.

I agree it could cause issues, but I also hang out with my friends every weekend and I've never seen this woman around so I don't think it would be too much of an issue if things didn't work out. If that is the reason my friend will tell me that.

So I have no idea what is going on in these responses, didn't expect to come back to 30 missed posts.

Back on topic, I was texting my friends about other stuff and my one friend actually brought up why she hadn't mentioned her friend being single, long story short is that she previously said she wasn't trying to date and she didn't know she was putting herself back out there.
And when I said I was annoying it was probably a 1 and a scale from 1-10. If I wasn't bored tonight I probably wouldn't have even wasted the time to make the topic lol.

Yes you are in the wrong. Holy crap I thought this was actually going to be a real grievance.

This isn't a very serious issue even to me, so try not to get worked up.

KanWan posted...

Why not.. just ask them to do that lol

Now that I know she's single I can handle it on my own.

I didn't really expect them to set me up on a date really (should've clarified that more in the original post), them just mentioning she is single would be more than enough.

Glob posted...

More or less this. Your single status is not their concern.

True but at the same time, they make it their concern. Basically any girl we see or meet or know they will automatically jump to if I am interested in her or if we should go out on a double date, stuff like that. They spend more time talking about who I should date than I do. If they didn't do that all the time I wouldn't expect them to tell me anything.

I have two best friends, who are a couple. I am single and they will constantly talk to me about dating and stuff. We are teachers and used to work together in the same building. Until last year when I moved to the building literally right nextdoor (so I still see them often, just not every day).
When I switched jobs a new female teacher started at my old building (where my friends still work), she's cute but I figured she was married and since I'm not in that building I've never actually met her or talked to her.
Skip to today I see that new teacher on Bumble, so I message my friends to ask "Hey you work with her, what is she like?" To which my friend responds "Oh she is in our wedding [which I am also in], she was my best friend all through elementary, I helped get her the job at school last year." She had never mentioned this girl being single or even suggested we should meet or anything.

So basically my friends, who know I am single and looking to date someone, had a single friend and never even thought to try and set me up or introduce me.

I'm kind of annoyed, like you know I am single and would like to date someone, you talk to me about it all the time, but apparently you don't think I am good enough to date one of your other friends.

As a teacher I will do my best to avoid all of the Education comments because they will only make me mad.

That's quite an interesting situation you got there. Never heard of a person buying a church without the intention of either turning it into an active church.

A different church near me was converted into a home and then featured on Jack Osborne's paranormal show cause they said it was haunted.

Though if you watch the show it seemed pretty obvious these people were full of shit and acted like it was haunted so they could rent it out as a haunted Air BnB.
