To the people saying it’s easy or not time consuming to do in all cases, that’s just wrong.

describing what is going on in a picture is really quite difficult at times, especially when there are a lot of elements.

Also please consider those whose ability to type is hampered in some way.

I am deeply disappointed that Ken was chosen by those few people who elected him.

I believe that whilst Ken may have the best interests of the country at heart, he fails to connect with real voters in a meaningful way that will get people excited about the realities of our political process.

Relaxation and time limits aren’t mutually exclusive.

I can be relaxed because I am playing a video game, but the pressure of a time limit can increase fun without causing any stress.

This is because video games inherently are not real life, and the escapism inspires relaxation.

My beloved Gauntlet Legends and Dark Legacy used Quantum3D Obsidan2 3dfx cards in their board set.

The boards are flakey as hell with more problems than I can count on both hands and feet, but boy is that a fun ass game to play with a few mates and a lot of beers.

at least you get away with just having nuggies and chips, and the wait staff won’t give you side eye

also bottomless crayons to eat :)

Another instance of Bethesda’s bug.

Does it tell us that orcs are in fact beastfolk? Goblinkin? Does it tell us that in becoming a vampire you shed your race, becoming a daedra under the service of Molag Bal?

Or does it mean that the dev in charge of Wuuthrad just forgot

Well probably never know

It’s actually never okay to like something unironically. If you do you you failed the media literacy test. /s

That’s fair.

If I came off as aggressive or contentious or even condescending, that was not my intention.

I can see your point and respect your position.

It says something about the ingrained capitalism in your head, that you think that things that are broken must be thrown away.

There are the skills and experience to fix it in the hands of experienced NHS workers.

Sunak undeniably broke it. Starmer is right to call this out.

I’m not making the same argument that they are, but, to be clear:

If your fast food prices are on the whole cheaper than grocery shopping; you are the outlier.

That is to say that your lived experience is not moot. You must consider that your experience is not the experience of the majority.

I was only using the numbers they gave me.

I have no reason to believe they were lying about that.

Further up the thread they explained they also use a monthly subscription that allows them free delivery and I would assume some gratuity to the driver.

$20 per meal, say you only eat 2x a day, lunch & dinner = $280 a week

You said 6x so lets say $240 to be generous.

$150 for one shopping trip to last 2 weeks =$10.71 per day, or $5.35 per meal.

That is quite high per meal, but doing the math on the numbers you have that is a substantial saving.

Not it’s not.

That was only very true for a short period of time during 2022.

Please, do not say “proven fact” when government institutions have done the research to show that is not true.

Food that is bought from a grocery store is always going to be cheaper in every scenario.

Hot food that is made to order, by multiple people, and then is brought to you by a person, is always going to cost more, in every scenario.

Each person needs to be paid, that cost is paid by the consumer.

Until the end of January all in game purchases have been reduced to 1 gold. You should be able to play all the content that ESL has released over the years.

I will very much miss Legends as it’s the only digital only CCG that I enjoyed to any degree.

If you don’t post it you a betraying the prime directive of all internet posters:

Always act unemployable

This is not encouraging, this is not cool or incredible.

It’s saddening to think that people are happy the right wing ghouls are saying things that on the surface seem agreeable, but just below that is a deep hatred of anyone who uses cumin as the main spice in their food.

They always say this shit for completely different reasons that the good reasons to say it.

Then that tricks a bunch of idiots into thinking that the right is being based for once, when the actual message they want you to take away is: you need to hate brown people more.

This is a huge argument in many different communities.

The idea of being a fan of a media property without interacting with the primary source material is being a “secondary”.

This is neither good nor bad but it can lead to bad interpretations of the source material e.g. Mouthwashing romance ships

This is largely true for older games getting a breath of fresh air. Like for example the lighting improvements in OpenMW.

This issue lies with raytracing and bloom effects being used in slightly dumb ways that add nothing to the composition of the scene, and seek to be a marketing gimmick.

As Outrun 2006 is a conversion of OutRun 2 SP, with content from C2C, this makes sense.

OutRun 2 SP was designed to interface over a LAN with another cab. You had to be connected to SEGA severs, there are ways around this using SBCs

Here is a shot of a linked cab I worked on a few years ago.

This is the kind of dogshit low IQ trolling that has been missing from the world since 2012. Thank you very much for being the change you want to see in the world.
