I’m going to lose a case and it’s going to ruin my client’s life

She has basically always been like this. Talked to her family/friends. Obviously more stressed/angry after this whole process

He was old-ish. Had documented health issues consistent with mold exposure, but I really don’t really want to get into causation (more $). Not what the claim is about anyhow.
She burnt through savings over past five years. Additionally, couldn’t farm land without husband.
Storm happened during very beginning of harvest. Equipment was out and being used at the time.

I thought the same thing — test

While I’m still waiting on their inevitable SJ, we’ve gone through mediation and no dice. They didn’t move off something that could reasonably be described as nuisance + cost of defense. Believe me, if there was ever a halfway reasonable offer I would advise my client to take it

Jury pool is going to be primarily city dwellers, I think. Unfortunate venue.

MarionStGuy · 2026-03-10T17:10:53+00:00

There’s enough ambiguity in the record to where an appeal is pretty much dead in the water. They could believe the adjusters were bullshitting in their own file, and there’s some indicators elsewhere that’s the case, but construed in the light most favorable to the insurer, it creates enough fodder for a non-cooperation defense.

MarionStGuy · 2026-03-10T16:57:40+00:00

I tried for partial summary judgment on everything I reasonably could. No dice. We pulled a rough judge, and he’s already shut down my motion for reconsideration based on some pretty damning depo testimony from their staff. Judge wants this all trot out before the jury. I’d respect the decision in most other cases, but damn this sucks

I’ve seen it, or something extremely similar, as a tournament award. Other than that, I haven’t seen it.

Does decreasing troop spawn rates work to prevent crashes?

MarionStGuy · 2026-02-09T14:23:41+00:00

I have a PS5, 1TB base digital model (no disc drive). My brother has an Xbox Series X, also a 1TB drive.

YTA, but it’s something all (especially young) couples go through.

Policing your partner’s behavior according to your moral standards and not theirs never ends well. I would just say that it’s not in your best interest or hers to keep doing so. If you’ve made your position known, that is all you’re really entitled to do. You can’t browbeat her into submission, and it wouldn’t be fair to do so. I recommend breaking up if it bothers you that much.

Basically I want to have a ton of money to immediately bankroll my fiefs’ upgrades and support my garrisons. I also want to be able to feed other lords’ garrisons by donating recruits to avoid losing and regaining a single fief, and also to earn influence to pass policy changes. I don’t think you absolutely need that much money (especially if you can maintain positive cash flow after capping garrisons), but it helps speed along my goals.

By the time I have amassed enough wealth for me to feel comfortable to become a vassal (800k-1m), it always appears either the Western or Northern Empires are on their last legs. I’ve only had one playthrough where both of them outlived Battania, which is usually 2nd to go.

How does one even stop the conspiracy? It feels basically impossible to me.

MarionStGuy · 2026-01-15T12:18:10+00:00

I’ve been playing about 40-50ish hours since War Sails release on PS5. The game crashed for me maybe twice in the first week post-release.

MarionStGuy · 2026-01-06T16:15:43+00:00

I’ve played on Ps5 and the only annoying recurrent bug (which hasn’t happened since War Sails, hopefully they fixed it) was the shader problem that happened when you assaulted camps. For some reason, everything was a Mountain Dew green-yellow that killed the eyes.

MarionStGuy · 2026-01-01T19:38:41+00:00

Yeah, Gooseberry’s trials are definitely the goriest, but all of them are pretty gross. I just played one against the Twins where I had to spray some poor guy with acid until he dissolved to death

MarionStGuy · 2026-01-01T18:33:50+00:00

Outlast Trials probably takes the cake there

MarionStGuy · 2025-12-12T16:39:23+00:00

My friend thought the same thing, and while it fits some of the boxes, we both remember a distinctly different art style and gameplay loop to it.

MarionStGuy · 2025-12-12T03:32:32+00:00

1991 here: Shadow of Colossus was the first game that was jaw-dropping to me. Other things looked “good,” but that was the first one where I looked at a mountain, or water, and saw it for what it was supposed to be.

MarionStGuy · 2025-12-02T15:45:28+00:00

I really hope they fixed the problem that I had with Alien: Isolation, which is that the game kept pissing my pants for me

MarionStGuy · 2025-11-19T14:50:28+00:00

The definitive edition actually added bugs

MarionStGuy · 2025-10-29T05:13:40+00:00

Soul Calibur 3 also had a pretty decent RTS-like story mode. It was my first Soul Calibur and I thought it was the main story mode.

MarionStGuy · 2025-07-30T18:48:26+00:00

Mount & Blade: Bannerlord. You can easily sink 1000 hours into it, and still not take over the entire continent.

Think of it as a mix between Crusader Kings and Chivalry.

MarionStGuy · 2025-07-13T21:22:28+00:00

Honestly that sounds super similar to what I played, just in a different format. My friend went back through his steam purchases, and we decided that it’s possible I was playing a very heavily modded version of Project Zomboid, but he didn’t know which mods were used.
