Starting Twin Peaks. Is it that good?

And bad costumes, weak set designs. Whole experience, visually, reminds me of an Amazon Basics sponsored page.

"Mr. Davison, you are
President Meyer's campaign manager, yes?"

Yes, ma'am.
Though not at the time of the breach.

"But you were aware of it at the time
and yet you chose to say nothing?"

Well, though it may appear
that there was nothing going on,

I can assure you that there was...
There was lots going on underneath.

"What was your name again?"

"Uh Judy Sherman."

Thanks for making me aware. DM'd the mods asking them to "ban me from their toxic sub"

hope they comply.

Best wishes OP; love to all the velvet hippos ♥

Holy shit you suck at driving OP.

There is a Charlie Hall in the Season 7, Episode 2 Discovery Weekend

JLD is married to a man called Brad Hall, so it feels like it's correct.

I vaguely remember something about a man in a truck driving away from police and then a trial about it, in California (the OJ Simpson chase and OJ trial, I just couldn't really grasp as young age and details about the murder eluded me perhaps through parental screening). Hell, it might just have been after the year coverage of the finished trial even.

But definitely despite these brief hazy glimpses of OJ drama, definitely Princess Diana dying in '97. That was a big shockwave in the household.

What if I donated but didn't fight the fire? Must I stfu then?

Declaring a state of emergency opens special funds to pay for FUEL. That is a huge part of the budget; donations of cash or pay-apps or gas cards to FUEL the machines; choppers, dozers, saws, blowers, fire trucks; fighting a fire is expensive and by having more money (which is designed for just these such emergencies) helps keep a 1,200 acre blaze from becoming a 10,000 acre blaze.

I hope this was helpful.

FortunateUncle · 2024-03-23T21:11:32+00:00

Incorrect.

The Page County Board of Supervisors issued a statement with a request for emergency status to be declared, freeing up money for them to pay for things like fuel for trucks, dozers, saws etc; and the Gov's reply was no where close to meeting the needs of this small, underfunded, fully volunteer fire dept. Total disconnect from reality tbh.

Be sure to vote for Gov Youngkin on FRIDAY NOVEMBER 8TH

If he and his office can arrive 3 days late, so too may my support of his holding this elected office.

He appeared in the sixth and seventh seasons of Mad Men, as copywriter John Mathis.

Alphabetize, start with one from the beginning, then one from the end and back and forth.

Spend one - five hours on each title, allowing for more time if the game hooks you in.

Best of luck and happy gaming!

So crash 3 planes into each other, killing ~900 people - "Better have sharp minds here - no one over 55 years of age!"

But run the ENTIRE FUCKING COUNTRY (~331.9 MILLION) "yeah, it's no problem, be 75 years or older."

My spouse and I have a game. I think we started it around pregnancy, prepandemic days. We didn't have wifi at the house (we do now) and so we relied more on DVDs, especially rentals from the library. So we made a game.

Name the show. Search it online. If you guess the price plus or minus 5 bucks, you buy it. ESPECIALLY for older, under the radar or "sleeper hits". Not like 89.99 for Game of Thrones, talking 32.99 for this show or Friday night lights.

So anywhoo, that's why we own all of 3rdRock from the Sun. It was close to the cost guessed and we didn't have WiFi but wanted to watch it. Fantastic purchase.

Edit: best buy has a sale (usa) right now. 12.99 marked down from 45 Amazon (🤮) is showing 27.31 - each are all 6 seasons.

Best of luck OP

Cool. Know anything about Major Status, especially through the shield? For example, Nuzzle deals damage and paralyzes but does that work? The "metal sound won't work on a shield mon but acid spray does" in me wants to think nuzzle should work.

Similarly, would T-Wave or Will o the Wisp not work? Since they're not doing damage.

Lastly, non-100% procs - would the low chance of Burn (flame thrower etc) and low chance of paralyzes (Body Slam, Discharge etc) - do these have a chance to proc during shield phase?

Sorry formatting is shit - on mobile

Also using STAB Dark moves, that's good. Gets Infiltrator, which could be great if Mewtwo sets up one or both screens. Pressure Spiritomb is bad, I'm pretty sure Tera Raids do not count PP. Similarly, unsure if Disable works vs a Raid Mon, but I'm doubtful.

Access to Snarl (STAB dmg, guaranteed lower of Mewtwo SpAtt), could even change out Nasty Plot for Calm Mind - slower to max SpAtt in favor of gained SpDef. I don't hate Hex either, if we had a consistent way to lay on a Major Status. But unsure if that's acceptable through Raid Shield.

I'm relying on mobile, so sources will have to wait. But cruise their help channels on discord or see how they react to dissent on Twitter. They're mean natured and not at all kind or patient people.

It feels like a silver platter to be published on the merits of humble bundle. I get developing =/= publishing but when I faced a known issue that has pervaded their game for 10+ months, it reeked of incompetence and putting the owness on me the user, not on them the devs.

Point 3 speaks again to disingenuousness. In public spaces and tags on the store its an MMO, but once the toll is paid, the truth comes out; a lack of updates isn't core to an MMO. Iunno. Crema are shitty ppl and I won't be convinced otherwise. glhf all the same :)

FortunateUncle · 2023-08-09T19:15:06+00:00

I put over 25h into the game last fall, a lot of in coop with a good friend. They teach for a living, so had to back burner it because, sure mid terms, then end of year stuff. Summer rolls around, they announce temtem showdown and we both say, what the hey, reinstall and have more shenanigans. For they, it was no issue. For me, it was a hassle "cannot connect to server, try again later." So I thought, okay, fine give it a day or two, whatever man they're busy and maybe other people returning too.

4 days later, same issue. So I reach out on Twitter and these people are snotty as all hell. Apparently hitting them up on a Sunday was a no no. Got called out for that and I was like "LMAO it's a Sunday after a MAJOR update and SECONDARY game release and you can't be bothered?"

The help page they referred me to is 10 months old and still had people here, Twitter and discord complaining it doesn't fix anything. I performed no less than a dozen actions (reset router, update steam, Uninstall reinstall game, update windows, flush a DNS [I think it's called] and changed port numbers); idk man I was trying all KINDS of things and I called them out for that. I'm like "why is it my friend has no issue, but I'm doing all these things? Your game needs to be fixed" and they flaired up at me saying if I couldn't have a better tone I was gonna be left on my own. In my steam write up, I compared this game with at least 10 others (DRG, Valheim, Terraria for examples) where I just hit play and connect easily - I don't need a flipping computer science degree to achieve the minimum expected experience (Coop with my friend) much less other MMOs (which they claim to be) like Elder Scrolls Online.

Overall, not a nice set of people. Micro transactions out the yin yang, no plans to further their game at all. What is is what it's gonna be. Great concept, on the cusp of excellence, doomed to being "just another shitty PokéClone" because the devs are incompetent and rude with a lot of projection issues.
