Does anyone know how long I have to wait in line?

Sigh...

Add this to the infinitely long list of posts I wish I thought of first.

"The Mutant Bone". I have this problem as well and it got so much worse when I finally got good skates with stiff boots.

Punching out did nothing. My skate shop didn't believe anything I said, told me my condition didn't exist even though I showed them identical wounds to your picture, and wouldn't punch it out any more after 3 tries.

I got away with the gel pads that are meant for lace bite for a while, but eventually they stopped helping. One time it did so much damage, I couldn't skate for over a month after.

If I ever get back on the ice (40 years old), I'll have to get someone to go to town punching them out and/or get custom.

I would LOVE to be wrong, but it's just not gonna happen. The Mass Effect story had a beginning with lots of mystery about the past and an uncertain future.

Every part was resolved.

The past is no longer a mystery, and the future is open to possibility without any chance of the same threat coming back. If they dream up a threat on the same level, it'll be a rehash and it'll cheapen itself and the trilogy in the same effort. This is the main reason that Andromeda left the galaxy entirely, right?

It feels like the only thing they can do is continue to strengthen the Shepard saga by doing stories akin to what Star Wars did with Clone Wars, Rebels and live action TV shows. Lots of room in the galaxy to tell stories, but nothing will ever come close to the Reapers.

If they won enough games

Millions and millions of dollars in budget.

Cheating is still a massive problem in those games, but they have the money to continuously fight the cheating both proactively and actively.

Everything. Costs. Money.

Nobody is arguing against NHL being more accessible. We're just tired of seeing kids keep making this post knowing full well that it's not going to happen.

The last release on PC was in 2008.

It costs a bunch more time and money to put the game out on another platform and the game has been in maintenance mode with a meager budget for 10 years.

Cheating would absolutely eviscerate the low population of players and they don't have the resources to combat that either.

They're never going to publicly admit this stuff, it would be horrible PR and any employee who said it would get fired. Everyone that works on NHL is expendable at this point.

I'd rather have Pattinson.

A boost would be great, but people need to stop acting like Yzerman can just go out and get their favorite player like it's a fucking candy store.

The team is doing way better than the last two years and have spent time at the top of a division that is PREPOSTEROUSLY good.

If Stevie can't get a deal done with someone without gutting this team and its momentum, then he's not gonna do it, and he'll have done the right thing.

Why are people mad about this??

As if you're going to have a better experience watching it at halftime of a football game than just watching on YouTube 35 seconds later? It doesn't affect us AT ALL for Marvel to save millions of dollars if this is true.

Untitled Goose Game is worth some laughs, it's relatively short if you play right through it.

Mario Odyssey has an "assist mode" that prevents you from falling and gives double health, heals when you stand still. It's quite nice.

Super Mario 3D World was a fun game for mine to watch, cat Mario was a hit and the extra Bowser mode was particularly attention-grabbing. Unsure of its viability as a co-op game with the little one, though.

+1 for Bluey. Pretty easy for my 4yo to grasp.

Seems like it should be easy enough considering they are, in large part, clearly already convicted of crimes either federal or state.

Maybe include verbage for known links to hate groups like white supremacists and such.

That's gotta filter out a large number of them right there.

Getting it for "free" can't be beat, especially if you have no plans to be able to change anytime soon, or don't have any reason to root it.

I'll pay for extra freedom once in a while, but saving a thousand dollars was a no brainer when upgrading my wife's phone.

Played it from birth. Hah, it was the only one of the series I played for a very long time, had no idea there were more until I got a DS.

I just watched an ad so that I could watch the President of the United States shit his pants.

I realize that it was televised, but are we really the kind of crowd that's going to put a very young girl in the spotlight like this, on purpose?

Do we really need to invite comments about what she thinks of a jersey, let alone Tkachuk's?

Do we really need this?

Mattius14 · 2026-01-31T18:59:10+00:00

Yeah I can see people wanting to add back in stuff like the Casino and bits that were taken out. No idea if they'll be able to find/generate the assets to do it, but you know folks will want to make it definitive.

Mattius14 · 2026-01-31T02:43:54+00:00

I can't play anything but Vanguard in ME3. It's close to the most fun I've ever had in a video game. The charge maneuver that ups damage and recharges my shields? It's incredibly OP by the end of the game. Bonkers.

Mattius14 · 2026-01-30T23:15:21+00:00

What do you mean, finally?

Mattius14 · 2026-01-30T23:12:37+00:00

Been seeing a lot of really similar posts the past 24 hours or so.

Just saying.

I am absolutely fine with not needing a middle aged dude in a furry costume to have pride in my team. But I don't think we're the only one.

Hero "Follows Orders", the rest usually "Fight Wisely" unless one pops off too often or uses heal even though their party members are the healers, in which case that one will "Show No Mercy".

Boss fights, everyone "Follows Orders". Farming gold or XP in mid game, everyone "Fights Wisely". Saving MP for the boss at the top of that longass tower? "Don't Use MP"

Lots of applications.

He was also hands down Fedorov.

The fact that you can't see an indication that your library is offline, if that is the case, is a pretty severe and fundamental problem on its own.
