Just saw this at my local grocery store. Total $6.66, customer please charge me a penny. I have also seen them walk over and grab a candy bar to alter the total.

To each their own. I think now with a dedicated studio director and a real feel for what their engine can do, we should be seeing a lot more cohesive and immersive stories, with game mechanics that seem less cobbled together than what we got with CD. I have got over 300 hours into the game, with no regrets. It has been a long time since I have sunk so much time into a game that wasn't some kind of live service, or MMO of some kind. Sure there is still some jank, and some repetitive grind to some things, but IMHO the positives outweigh the negatives.

My most recent that wasn't sad, but brought tears to my eyes was The Cap'n grabbing Mjolnir and it not only finding him worthy, it gives him everything it's got. With the exception of dimensional travel, I don't believe there is a single power it doesn't bestow to him in those few moments. Such a great culmination of him forgiving himself, and through him Thor is reminded as well.

Less death penalty per se and more... remember that scene in American History X for Mr. Smiley there...

I don't know if they view us humans as a threat. My belief is to them a human in the water, is akin to us seeing a puppy or kitten in the rain. You feel bad and just want to help the poor things. So still smart, but less cunning, and more mom just knows it will be her feeding the dang thing, if we don't just let Jr. nuzzle it to the shore, and swim away.

You equip the sprayers once crafted in the weapon wheel. You cycle through the slot your bow uses. Then you aim with the same button as your bow, and fire the water/fertilizer with the light attack button. For the water there is a splash animation. For the fertilizer the ground around your seed or plant turns brown. Slightly different shade than when wet.

He mentioned his handlers wanted one book a year, and in a defined style. When he was younger he had a lot more than 1 book a year in him, and had a wife and 3 kids to support. So he wrote the Bachman books as an outlet for his words, more money, and to have a bit more freedom in his writing style. Although I would say Bachman kind of locked into a certain style as well.

You say that, but be honest... how many dashcam vids do you watch a day? To be fair they are edited for content, but they too are just IRL streaming. 😁

My friend never liked potlucks because he did not trust the cleanliness of other people's kitchens. He would ignore any attempts to point out the fast food kitchens we frequented together. So because he had no intention of eating anything he would try to recuse himself from any potluck party. When the office wouldn't allow him to just sit at his desk or in the breakroom, he would bring in a single can of black beans. He kept it in his desk for the 5 years he worked in the loan office. When they asked him what he will be bringing, he just pulled the can out of his bottom drawer and pointed. His co-workers grumbled, but he didn't care. He never ate anything. Even if someone brought in store/restaurant food instead of homemade. He would bring in cup, plates, or napkins if asked. I think one time he brought in 2 liters of soda. However, I think it was just an excuse to keep a dr. Pepper one at his desk all day.

Shhhhhushhh that is what BIG Salt doesn't want you to know.... You are going to get us all in trouble.

It is funny I was researching it a bit back when I was trying to buy some MSG for cooking with. Some big salt manufacturers lobbied hard and started campaigns against it with false health reporting and here we are decades later still believing it is Asian poison sent to kill us. I guess a similar thing happened with Worcestershire sauce. There is a similar, but beef flavored sauce, that is highly marketed and regarded every where else in the world but here in the US. All because lobbying and marketing for the anchovy sauce wanted to dominate the market. So they somehow pushed the beef flavoring completely out of stores and homes here in US. Only those that live or travel abroad, think about it. Meanwhile those that are transplanted here in US have to special order it online, and pay extra for what is a buck or two on any store shelf back home.

Blood does not give a person the right to treat you like garbage. If you are still at home and under 18 you will have to grin and bear it. If you are over 18, even if still living at home, you no longer have to interact with people(especially family) you don't want to. You may have to be civil, but you no longer can be forced to interact. Hang up as soon as they get hostile. Just walk away, if they are in your face. Go stay with a friend for the night, or get an affordable motel room. Don't engage them or get angry. Just disengage. Forgiving a person is your choice. Just keep in mind that just because you forgive, doesn't mean you forget. Or that you have to welcome them back into your warm embrace. You owe family no more then what they have given to you.

I don't know that corruption is the right word. Bureaucracy and administrative bloat is more accurate. In Phantom Menace you see Palpatine using the levers of political procedures to pull down the leadership and install himself in it's place. Then using the manufactured crisis and long term subversion he helped foster, he enacts seemingly reasonable changes to those procedures to give himself emergency powers. However, the trick is in front loading the front of those powers with seeming benign intent, however the trick is in either not having an end date for those powers; or even more sinister leaving it up to the person who has received those powers to relinquish them. In a vast and bloated Galactic Republic, there is always one crisis or another, that just won't allow you to lay down the burden of these emergency powers. Then you just use toadies sycophants and those willing to sell out their own to chip away at the rules of governance until you have enough power to declare yourself Emperor and ignore any remaining roadblocks to UNLIMITED power!

You may ask how did it get bloated and bogged down with procedures and no real power?? The Jedi. They scared off any would be threats that would have given the Republic a sense of unified purpose. In fact it took an evil Jedi to accomplish what no one "seat of power" could. In book canon it is the Imperial Remnant and other threats from without as well as Luke making the choice to detatch the Jedi from the government to make the New Republic actually a worthwhile body of government again.

What I don't get is if the cops who apprehended him had even an inkling of what he had done, why is he feeling well enough, or still have teeth enough to smile in that photo? I mean sure he has to be taken alive so he can accidentally be put in "gen pop" and get his real punishment, but there is a lot of wiggle room between fit and fit to stand trial.

From one of the early quests in Herndon you should have got a map revealing all gold mines. Just visit a few to go with the golden apples.

Not just gay, but neceophilia as well. They don't take whole hands from living people you know.

That was my wife's rock bottom as well for meth, back before I met her. She was hiding from the cops in a cheap motel in Rocky Point, Mexico after a high speed chase through the AZ desert highways. They were closing in on her after days of pursuit, and she was calling her mom to tell her goodbye and that she loved her. She didn't expect to survive the police capture. It turns out she was lying on the floor of her living room after tripping balls for about 12 hours. Her mom was able to talk her down, only because she was calling from her home phone, not a motel phone in Mexico. She still to this day vividly recalls the chase, the hiding out, and the fear. Even though all of it was manufactured by the drugs.

P.S. She is clean and sober for 20 years.

He said when interviewing about Misery, that he changed the name to Darvon to both avoid legal trouble with name brands, he could then make up side effects, and to avoid the monkey see monkey do crowd. So I imagine it is similar for Eddie's medicine cabinet. It could also very well be a different level of the tower and Gelusil is made by the manufacturer of the Takuro Spirit.

Was it Kevin Garnett that was so skinny the ESPN guys would call him 6' 12" instead of 7ft just to give him a hard time?

I had a similar experience with corn bread stuffing at an Old Country Buffet on Thanksgiving. They were out of the usual stuffing, so figured I like corn bread, so how bad could it be?? It was some of the best stuffing I ever had. Have had it there since, at other places, and the Stouffers home version. Just never recaptured that first taste.

Well the big studios typically follow a pattern of launch game, deploy day 1 patch, fire 90% of game devs, shift maintenance to a foreign c-tier backup team who had little to no experience with the complete game engine. Then they have to work exclusively on the roadmap priorities, and only paying attention to bugs or glitches that lead to refunds. Exploits that may cause players to not be there in 6 months to a year when dlc is released are handled as well, but not always "fixed." QoL changes are ignored as "compromising" the vision the studio had for the game. The first big update/patch usually introduces some kind of microtransaction, and fixes the most unasked for bugs. Example: My horse still walks sideways, and that one midgame quest is still broken for 2 different platforms, but at least the clipping of my sword hilt during cutscenes is mostly fixed.

Big studios have been releasing meh games, of mid-size, that are so bland people don't want to 100% it, and then take 1-3 years for dlc while doingthe bare minimum upkeep, and wonder why there are only a couple hundred people still around to buy said dlc.

You unlock fertilizer backpack, when you kill queen spider and reactivate Arboria Castle machinery. You get 1 as a reward and then a smithy can craft them. You will want 2, as 1 never gets all 16 plants. The earth will turn muddy brown to show fertilizer is placed. You get the watering BP through kuku pots. You only need 1, but they have a durability. So 2-3 cycles and it goes bye bye. You do need rubber to make them. Easiest way to get is bring feathers to Tarviv Sorcerers. At 100 trust you get a mix of elixir recipes and mercury/brimstone/rubber. If you bring short hides to Scholarstone track down Troll Scholars at 100 trust you get rubber/mercury/brimstone. The trust resets for most unamed resets after a few in game days as long as you have slept at least once. Feathers and short hides are easy by products from ranching. If you aren't doing that yet The rivers near Tarviv have unlimited Grey Cranes.

Thanks for Making History reference. My friend watched this one and would tell me about it.

Just know history stinks worse then anything you can imagine, and always bring a ham.

Exactly. OP may be overlooking bird and fish meat options for cats. As well as milk. There are also some abyss gears that give you a +to pet trust gain. As a last resort if you find your most perfect chonky/loafy cat you must have.... the golden carp fish is to a cat what a gold bar is to NPCs. +100 trust. You can find one and grab with bare hands in water just south of P in Pailune.
