Not sure where you got that from but no I am not.

I've been working within various pharmacy/cancer departments for 11 years now but I don't see this as a career. It's not like I hate my role but it's never been something I'm passionate about. No clue what that kind of job would be for me but I'm thankful I can pay the bills :)

What are consoles but PCs with custom software and no bloat? Something anyone can plug in and play with minimal setup. The only reason they're saying it'll be priced like a mid-range PC is because they can't say the price due to the world (US) right now.

The song is about trying to find your place in life and while I won't bore you with the long the short of it is I find myself lost in life, trying to find my way through the fog alone. I have no direction, I just am.
Still, super pleased with my bedroom makeover! I'll post some pics at some point.

"...helped not least of all by the strange and overwhelming popularity of Pedro Pascal."
Nothing strange about it, the man is an amazing actor and a saint irl.

Might want to include some proper sources friend, using AI to come up with facts without citing the original info is the equivalent of "Trust me bro!".

I never said it would be easy. The point I'm trying to make is Starmer cannot afford to be sitting on his hands here, he needs to be proactive with the other leaders in order to convince Trump to change course with whatever weapons they have at their disposal, including financial pressure on the US.

It's a fantasy world, all kinds of things might be happening. One Pale Tree might be pollinating another for all we know!
I'd also like the answer as to whether Sylvari can reproduce. I think those that we know are known not to be able to but is that true across all Pale Trees?

This whole 'Coalition of the Willing' is dead if Ukraine are forced to accept the US 'deal' so this is America directly challenging the plans of Starmer and the other leaders. You can't just politely ask Trump to reconsider (nor can you threaten ofc), he needs to be persuaded with force.

Starmer needs to grow some damn balls and stand up to Trump for once. Unless pressure is put on the US this is it for a sovereign Ukraine and the past 4 years of death, destruction and indeed funding the war effort will have been for nowt.

Here's another thought nugget: Are the Sylvari relatives or clones of the Pale Tree? Might they turn into Trees at some point?

It's been on my mind since headstart... ANET have two choices: GW3 with a new or current Pale Tree (Pale Father anyone?) or we get a Malyck expac and that tree is older.
I'd love learning about an old generation of Sylvari, burial practices etc I think it would bring a TON of lore to the race.

As with any wholly publically voted awards show it's not to be taken seriously. Clair Obscur of course deserves the credit but the voting process is off the charts biased towards popular games rather than the best games.
It's also why I pay no attention to the music charts.

And in this moment I remembered Sliders. Oh did I love that series... until they started replacing characters and it got terrible if I can remember correctly. Might have to give that another watch all these years later.

It's a weird thing for me not knowing that growing up. TV was never a 'group event' in our household, it was just something we watched while eating or on in the background.
Stargate was never my favourite sci fi but it's nice it's coming back and I can think back to my mum.

I think GW2 finds the perfect balance in the absence of Wildstar (although I did just play a 'boring' human when that was up). The Asura can be pretty or they can be... Phlunt.

You can use a PC with a TV... and he clearly still thinks PC gaming isn't popular enough to warrant GTA6 at release... and watch as he shuts down any and all unsanctioned mods for his new game...
