First of all, that cookie looks absolutely baller. Secondly, damn you I’m going to get crumbl cookies now and fucking up my diet lol

Right? An entire halberd head going through your torso has got to do some serious damage.

Biden.

Likability advantage? Since when was he likable?

I’m a simple man. I see Animorphs, I up vote.

Stealth has always been optional in Assassin’s Creed. The modern games have a lot of problems (the series really hasn’t been good since Black Flag) but that one in particular isn’t new. Trying to be stealthy makes every mission take twice as long, but imo it also makes them more fun.

The art of the insult has truly declined over the centuries.

Someone else mentioned VR games, if you can afford the gear I second that recommendation. Some games can be quite the workout, and it doesn’t feel like I’m convincing myself to exercise because I’m just playing video games.

I haven’t seen this mentioned yet, but I feel like a world map is important. It doesn’t have to be a work of art, even a rough sketch of a continent shape with a couple landmarks and a You Are Here sign will do. For me, being able to visualize a map of the world and my character’s position on it helps me place my character in the context of the world. This is doubly true if your campaign has a lot of travel, as many do.

This is the best thing I’ve read all day.

It lends itself well to that. Infinite loot train is definitely on my list of one shot ideas.

I was a grown adult when adventure time aired, and it’s still one of my favorite shows.

For what it’s worth for anyone finding this post later, uninstalling and reinstalling the game fixed this for me.

Hmm, just tried restarting my PC, no dice. It’s 100% percent of dialogue for me, not just some of the time. Guess I’ll try the old uninstall/reinstall.

Sure, but don’t let that stop you from insulting him. The activity is its own reward.

Parallel worlds/multiverses. I hate them because it removes all stakes or consequences from the events of a story. Character died? Bring in a new version from another world. Inconvenient thing happened? Move to a world where it never happened. Nothing matters, nothing is canon, everything is reversible.

I wouldn’t say it’s great even there. If you want people to pay 20% more for their food so your workers can get paid, just list that on the menu. Raise all food prices 20% and pay the wait staff a decent wage. Customers pay the same in the end and your staff isn’t dependent on customer generosity to make a living.

I’m going to buck the trend here and advise the more conservative position. I took a developer job in the insurance industry right out of college, and I have no regrets. The work is rarely exciting, but it’s stable and not very demanding. I have great work life balance. And developer jobs in non tech related industries seem to be largely immune to the upheavals and layoffs currently affecting the tech world.

High rates of gun ownership is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for high rates of homicide. “Necessary” would imply that high homicide rate is flat out impossible without high gun ownership, which is clearly not true.

Twice the refresh rate means twice the frames, so I’m twice as productive.

Or at any rate, that’s what I’m telling my job to try to get them to buy me a high spec gaming monitor.
