Yeah, they’re fantastic for, uh, “vases”

I haven’t played many of the indie games on the list, but I’m glad to see Sea of Stars get some love. It’s probably the best game I’ve played in the last year

This was exactly what I was thinking. I remember trying to run it on my GTX 970 and it definitely struggled in places. Expecting this to be 30fps max with low graphics on the Switch.

Developers don’t use early access to get feedback on lore, world-building and visual aesthetic. They get feedback on gameplay balance and bugs. A movie/TV studio doesn’t have gameplay, it’s all visual. Apples to oranges comparison

Her manager and one of the other co-workers participating in the group sex act were vomiting, she said in her lawsuit. While one vomited in the trash, the other threw up right in her guacamole bowl, she alleged.

Probably the best paragraph in the whole article.

We do this in my family as well, with the exception that we all buy stocking stuffers to fill whoever’s stockings we want. Everyone in my family enjoys finding little treats or fun small gifts to put in everyone’s stockings and it’s great to see what everyone comes up with

You’re just saying tea tea

I think this is very likely the reason OP feels the way they do. I just left a job after 2-1/2 years. I knew I didn’t want to stay there from the moment I started. It was an in-beteeen job while I looked for something better. I knew it, my bosses knew it. I was so excited about the prospect of finding a new job and actually doing something better with my life. However, the moment I actually got a job offer, that excitement turned to anxiety and dread. I was venturing into the unknown. My mind instantly shifted to focus on all the negatives of the new job.

Change is terrifying. So much so that sometimes we simply try to do nothing in order to avoid it.

I missed the whole server debacle at launch, but I did play a few matches after the first week. I really want to like the game, but the lack of voice chat really kills it for me. The ping system feels lackluster and unintuitive, and trying to coordinate with random teammates is frustratingly difficult. If you have a full squad on discord I can see it being a ton of fun, but as a soloQer I’m gonna pass on this for a while

Last time I flew in the US was back in April, and I still had to do all of those things you mentioned. Not sure how you got a free pass

Translation: War. War never changes

‘You fucking donkey’ is a personal favorite

I’d everyone else died of old age and you are the last, would you still want to leave the earth better than you found it?

Yes. Humans are not the only thing existing on this planet, and I find it rather arrogant to treat it this way. If I’m alone staring down the heat death of our universe? Well it doesn’t quite matter anymore.

Would you take comfort in or be indifferent to the happiness you brought

Absolutely. This is probably more nurture vs nature though. I’m very much an atheist but was raised in a strong Christian household. I’ve shunned the religious aspect, but “Love your neighbor as yourself” is pretty much ingrained in my DNA at this point. I find happiness in bringing it to others.

As for ideas of good and better, of course they are my own opinions and based on experiences of others. There is no objective “good” and “better”, because there is no objectively true meaning to life. For me personally, doing what makes me happy would include eating good food, drinking good whiskey and listening to punk rock. Those are not objectively good, but they are good to me. I will share them with likeminded people, and I will find other ways to better my neighbors’ lives.

This is quite the existential question! Of course, there’s really no “right” or “wrong” answer, and there are so many different ideas on what the meaning of life is.

My opinion? There isn’t one. The fact we exist at all is a wildly random event, and the fact we are conscious of it even more so. Life is meaningless, so we create our own meaning. For me, the meaning of life is to strive for happiness (not BE happy, we can’t be happy 100% of the time), bring happiness to those around me, and leave the world better than I came into it. I don’t give a shit about legacy, since I won’t be around to enjoy it. The only legacy I care about is that I made life better for the people I love.

Treat others with kindness, be mindful of the world you live in, and do more of what makes you happy.

I mean, they kind of are, right? We just pay all of our tolls up front in the form of vehicle registration

This kind of thing happens all too often. Going in for a surgery that your insurance will cover? Oops, we forgot to mention that the anesthesiologist is actually out of network, so you’ll have to pay out of pocket for that part.

Republicans pulled this same shit during Obama’s tenure. They have no intention of negotiating in good faith. They want the shutdown so they can point their fingers at Dems during their campaigns in the coming year. We’ll have a shutdown, suspending important government agencies and furloughing hundreds, if not thousands, of Americans just to manufacture an anti-liberal talking point.

Easily the best track on The Crow OST. Seeing The Cure live is on my concert bucket list. They’ve come through Seattle a handful of times in my life but I’ve never managed to get tickets

Shouldn’t be a problem while brewing. I’d just drape a towel over the top while it brews to prevent anything from getting into it.

We use a toddy system at work to make cold brew, and the lid has a bunch of holes in it, presumably to minimize condensation from doing a hot start. Just seal it up once you remove the grounds and it’s ready to drink.
