Voting is changing the Oil to keep the engine running
More like of rbg hadn't been so stubborn and had actually stepped down when Obama was in office, we wouldn't have a republican majority on the supreme Court.

This meme is giving "I have only played Ubisoft/ea/actizard titles for the past 4 years" and I mean do whatever you want but it seems silly to complain about games you continue to buy no?
I loved Pokemon, but it hasn't really changed in like 20 years. I'll play some romhacks, maybe I'll "try out" a newer pokemon game, but I haven't bought one since like omega ruby/alpha sapphire. The point I'm making is if we stop buying repetitive garbage, we can bring the small devs up and let them determine the course of game design moving forward.
Or I mean you can just.... Keep playing assassin's creed: (insert vague cultural name here) I guess

I'm a California restaurant operator preparing for the $20-an-hour fast-food wage by trimming hours, eliminating employee vacation, and raising menu prices
eliminating employee vacation
Man shut the fuck up, the only employee that got a vacation was you numbnuts

Turns out, far-right shitheads are still far-right shitheads
I don't disagree with this, but Hamas was created by Israel, and now Israel is bombing all of Gaza because of Hamas. It really seems like Israel has been planning this genocide for a loooong time.

I wish sleep wasn't so appealing now.
I've put over 400 hours into vanilla terraria and recently started the calamity mod, first day I put like 6 hours into it.
I don't play every day, I just don't have the time/energy. But when I do I try to make it count.
That being said, we used to play Edward forty hands and try to beat ocarina of time in a single evening, usually staying up until dawn despite the copious alcohol.
I'm not the stallion I used to be, but even an old horse has something to prove.

America is a dystopia unlike any other, where we smile and fuck each other over and then say "hey this is just the way it is!"
I hate it here.

I think the issue that people are responding to is that you're comparing it to Diablo, which is fundamentally a different game. Diablo is a hack and slash game with rpg elements and a god awful loot system. Bg3 is pretty much just playing DND on a computer without a dungeon master. They're just two completely different games. You can't even hack or slash in bg3, it's turn based and tactical.
That said, if you don't like the aesthetic of fantasy games, then clearly none of this will matter to you.
Frankly, it seems like you mostly care about the aesthetics of a game (no shade, just saying) so I'm kind of curious what your favorite game is?

I mean there are good AAA games. From soft still puts out bangers, CD projekt red makes some good stuff (the cyberpunk launch was pretty rough though), larian is pretty good. Most AAA studios are dog shit, but you can still find a few diamonds in the rough.

What item did you "buy for life?"
Bought a 9 dollar cast iron from Walmart for a camping trip and I love it. I'm hoping it outlives me and it should with proper care. It's already been 4 years

Right, because Kansas's vote should hold the same weight as New York or California even though there's less people that live in Kansas?

I think the HVAC maintenance guy just destroyed my relationship
Ask her if you should get a shotgun and point it at the door anytime you hear human life on the other side. Hopefully at that point it will become clear that this is a stupid thing to do, and you can both move on.
Also, depending on how much she harps on this, definitely a red flag.

Sure!
Valheim is fantastic, Kenshi is brutal and unforgiving but very fun, outward is similarly difficult and fun, also very unique.
Open world is kind of a huge genre, so I'd even say games like Subnautica, terraria, etc might be up your alley.
Edit: I can't believe I left out no man's sky and hyper light drifter! Highly recommend them both, no man's sky is such a good space life sim and hyper light drifter is kind of like a throwback to the first Zelda game, but obviously updated and with some different intentions to the gameplay/story. Happy gaming!

100% fruit juice associated with weight gain in children and adults, study finds
This is why I treat myself to the occasional coke zero and mostly just drink water. Is it boring? I guess so. But I've lost 100 pounds in the past two years and I'd really like to stay this way.
Too many negligent parents, especially in terms of health. Although American health science is pretty much profit lead dog shit

Yeah it's all a bit sketchy, if we can't get this figured out I will help him do so. I think he used a debit card unfortunately, so I don't think he can get the money back. I'll have to ask him and make sure.
This fucking sucks.

Chrome is now telling people uBlock Origin (Adblock Addon) is slowing down the browser
Is Firefox still the GOAT? Or is there another browser that is better now? I know some people in the Foss community are a bit skeptical of Mozilla but is that reasonable when seemingly every other browser is so much worse in terms of privacy?

We've asked, they are not responding. I guess it could be stolen but what I meant to say is that my dad/I did not steal the laptop. Apologies for any confusion.
