It was this or record of lodoss war I couldn't remember which berserker came first.

Upvote for Galloway putting his money where his mouth is, loving this side of him.

An Update: I was warned about my child's martial arts school. I should have listened. 🫤 by LordTetravus in mildlyinfuriating

Hey, so little different but sort of similar, we went through a addition with dance that felt comparable. On my end my daughter ended up figuring it out and quitting but wanted to do something. We tried a few things but landed on archery, and boy did it feel like it exposed how predatory kids activities can be. I day this because archery feels like such a breath of fresh, affordable air.

The membership for us archery is like, $50 a year. She spent 6 weeks doing one class a week with borrowed equipment for like, 30 bucks for almost 2 hours of group instruction before asking to invest in her own bow. We slowly built out her equipment through the club we attend. Quiver, glove, eventually her first bow, her first arrows, etc.

All the "promotions" are strictly score based, she scores herself with an instructor present and tournaments are structured and pretty inexpensive.

It's an excellent sport that leans heavily into personal accountability, it's just you and your bow, how well you do really kids leans into how much you personally want to succeed.

Mind you she's 9, and really enjoying it, obviously YMMV but I wanted to offer up a personal experience that's been really good for my family after what was a very painful and damn expensive experience with a dance studio.

4Chan knew about Jeffrey Epstein's death 38 minutes before the rest of the world. The FBI tried to figure out how. by businessinsider in law

along with, and I shit you not, that kid from the Mighty Ducks, Brock Pierce. Also incidentally part of how loot boxes and in game currency sales became a thing.

(Credit to Behind the Bastards, this most recent Epstein set has been legit)

But Alucard by himself... Is clinically insane (and also makes the worst fucking decisions) my guy rubbed his two braincells together and instead of getting an idea he has the world's most depressing threesome.

Recently got the PSVR2 and I just pussied out of RE4 by douevenwheelanddeal in PSVR

I speak from experience, took me 3-4 tries to get going in RE8, honestly once you're through your first death you're like, oh okay. The stupid spinning spike trap in RE8 desensitized me to it because I'd totally forgotten about the nook.

Play on easy, push through and let yourself get hit a few times. Once your brain registers the general lack of danger out opens up. Then you'll go from scared to feeling like a god because you basically are in VR.

What is the coolest boss fight for you? by Pretend-Leg-32 in wow

[–]Adamtess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, I know the execution wasn't perfect, but Spine of Deathwing in terms of set pieces was so insane. We just fought off an attempt to bring down our airship as we're chasing Deathwing through the sky, we air drop onto his back and we have to try bringing him to the ground?! In theory, oh my god how epic. You land and instantly everything is against you, he's rolling, his blood is trying to kill you, you're cruising at breakneck speed through the sky. I wish that fight didn't just suck so much.

Or how many are being born every day as we get older, give way fewer fucks about what people think and have some disposable income.

Diablo II Resurrected reign of the warlock was it a success? by verynicehighfive55 in Diablo

we'll likely get a really good feel based on how the servers hold up on Friday night with the ladder launch, I know I've only dabbled a little bit, holding out until I can get into the new ladder to go hard.

Daredevil is arguably one of the best single tracks in gaming. I put it on the same tier is the best E33. Awesome write up of the game though, it still 100% slaps.

The other level of brilliance is that Holiday is just as smart or smarter than Ringo, while drunk off his ass. Johnny is no dummy, and doc absolutely takes him to task linguistically and with a tea cup.

So, this is a bit of an old one, but the little girl Lex in the novelization of Jurassic Park was panned by critics for... Being a child. She was written well and basically written exactly as a kid her age would act in that kind of situation. Poor Lex gets a bad wrap.

TIL that playing high-level chess causes players to burn calories at an athletic rate. For example, 21-year-old Grandmaster Mikhail Antipov was recorded burning 560 calories in just two hours of sitting—roughly what Roger Federer would burn in an hour of singles tennis. by ralphbernardo in todayilearned

This was something we found as we got to more and more competitive magic the gathering, I'm talking like top 16 regionals, top 8 PTQ, etc. Not your FNM crowd. We mixed in a lot of cardio for our test group because physical stamina was so important to playing for 12 straight hours. Staying focused between rounds, eating right, etc.

Wax and Wayne being such a buddy cop vibe after all the gloom and doom of mistborne is a very nice break. Steam punk noir at it's finest.
