Sorry to Steven but with a last name like that, you gotta work to get me to trust you. If Jesus came back as a Prager, I’d be the first to sell his ass for a shekel.

It’s like, I have a 13" laptop, a 15" inch one, and two monitors at my desk with a dock… But so the my director… Actually, he doesn’t have the 13" one! Am I actually the director?

I used a Dell Thunderbolt dock to dock my Steam Deck with my third monitor at work, so when it gets slow I can play with my Dualsense I keep in the drawer at work.

It hasn’t been slow in a while but when it was, oh boy, I made some progress in my games.

What you’re saying it that we all must be careful, lest we turn into cops.

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.

BCT is just about making you react and listen to orders in high stress situations, like when a machine gun is clacking right over your head. That does mean overriding fear responses and making you quick to react but they don’t have you stand up and drop down a hundred times because it makes you more likely to spit on the Constitution if an orange turd tells you to. Hell, I remember Obama’s inauguration a dude was running around with his official photo cheering.

It’s weird but they are all different. I’ve never had an issue where I see an Xbox X and hit the PS X. Normally if a game wants X(PS Flavour) the X itself is blue, potentially with a black circle around it. If a game shows you an X(Xbox Flavour) it shows a blue circle with a different blue X inside. Nintendo generally just shows a top button glyph or if they do show the X it’s usually monochrome, except for Americana flavoured SNES which was just top purple and since GC had the vertical kidney bean X… Well, Nintendo only recently became a problem I suppose.

So, basically, the in-game glyphs do differentiate themselves.

He wanted that suburban home after all.

Plenty of places? New builds are likely to have HOAs but pre-2000s builds don’t necessarily have them. Moreso if it’s not in a subdivision or suburban hellscape.

Yep, edited for clarity. I’m not trying to play all of them every day but when I don’t feel like reading or thinking, I can pick up Boltgun or NFS for 30 minutes and have fun but when I’ve got the time and patience, I can hop into the bigger games.

Paper Mario and the Origami King - Partner picked up the game around launch, played up to the final boss, put it down for a few months, came back and restarted their save. Infuriating but whatever. Then, they dropped it after playing for a few days.

Finally, in need of a ‘simple’ RPG to balance out the rest of my in progress games right now (Yakuza 4, W40K Boltgun, NFS Unbound) I picked it up and am about 30% through, so I’ll probably play a bit more of that.

I don’t have ADHD and have been describing my system of organization as “Everything might be in piles but I know where things are in the piles,” and that means…

Stellantis is a Dutch group. If we head to Michigan and get the CEO, they’ll just appoint a new one… Unless you’re suggesting the Americans invade the Netherlands…

When you sign the agreement that you allow the neighborhood to care about the length of your grass, you agree to make it their business. Don’t live places that care about grass length if you don’t want people to care about your grass.

If you’ve got the money to be buying guns to threaten people with, you’ve got the money to afford a uHaul.

Same, HOAs are a non-starter for me. That said the price is going to be high with or without and those buying $500,000USD homes are probably less likely to care about an extra $100 a month.

If I have to mail you something to tell you to mow your lawn out of fear you might pull a gun on me, I’m not treating you like an adult.

People should be able to talk to each other.

City mails a fine. Guy gets mad and doesn’t pay it. Nanny State mails you demanding money for grass, government overreach, etc.

City goes to the man’s door and says “we got a complaint, mow the grass so I don’t have to fine you.” Man is treated like an adult who is given the opportunity for grace. Man mows the lawn and goes on living his life.

Would you prefer drive-by citations for everything without having an opportunity to correct issues?

To be fair to the pigs, they killed a man for pulling a gun on the nosey neighbor patrol. They wouldn’t have bothered to shoot him over the grass… Unless they felt like it at the time.

Depends on your HOA. Some maintain pools and parks in the area. Some exist solely to ‘keep property values up.’

I’m ashamed that I once photoshopped Wish.com Mario Lopez into various Dark Souls armor to send to my friends in relation to John Mullaney’s Dean Cain joke.

Leave Poland alone and get to the polls, dammit.
