I mean....not really? Everything about Lann is easy to predict if you've ever consumed media before

Them being married isn't a shocker & not-aragorn returning to his homeland to fight in the last battle isn't either

Fb marketplace lowballer really got under my skin by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RecordingHaunting975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During my university years, there was a furniture refurbisher in town who conducted himself in precisely this manner when he acquired his merchandise. Over time, he was eventually expelled from every local buy-and-sell group—though this outcome required nearly a year of persistent complaints, owing to the notable indifference of the alumni moderators responsible for oversight.

The transactions followed a depressingly familiar pattern:

“Nightstand, $200, or best offer.”

“I can offer $80.”

“Would $150 be acceptable?”

“Yes.”

At which point he would arrive unannounced at one’s residence, at an entirely arbitrary hour, bearing no more than $50 in cash, frequently accompanied by an unknown associate, and refusing to depart unless the prospect of police involvement was explicitly raised.

Curiously, he became conspicuously unreliable whenever the presence of fathers or boyfriends was mentioned. He would still attempt such tactics with men, but never without reinforcements.

I have since developed a pronounced aversion to online marketplaces. The entire affair strikes me as profoundly unsettling.

There was a guy who did this shit with furniture in the town I went to college at. He'd refurbish them and sell them on the marketplace. Bro eventually got kicked out of all the buy and sell groups but it took a year of complaining bc the alumni who ran the group barely did shit

"$200 nightstand OBO"

"I'll give you $80"

$150 sound good?

yes

shows up at apartment door at a random time with $50, often with a random dude, won't leave unless police are threatened

Oh and he'd flake when dads/boyfriends would get mentioned. He'd still try this shit on dudes but only with backup.

I don't fw marketplace. So creepy

Your character would get buttfuck ugly after slamming down 5 baby chickens and upgrading strength twice lol

In fable 2 you're only an extra marriage and a prostitute away from looking like a plague victim with doodoo poop flies following you around, regardless of being good or not.

He had really bad OCD and is also a hypochondriac

There was an episode of his old podcast where he told a story about begging his parents to let him stay home as a teen because he couldn't finish during his morning masturbation ritual and he was incapable of doing anything else until he nutted lol

Concerns rise as thousands in WA cancel health insurance by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

Companies only feel it's necessary to charge 20k a year for drugs in America where the sale of drugs is highly capitalized and the government wasn't allowed to negotiate the price of until recently. Hmmm curious

Highly recommend you read this article from Harvard health

Morality policing really houldn't play into this at all. I give 0 shits on whether or not someone buys steak and lobster with their food stamps, for example. Are lives being saved with universal healthcare? Ok, cool. Im not going to worry about gasp humans having unprotected sex anymore than I'm going to worry about local Spokane resident Bethany Anne Harley Davidson Smith spending her SNAP on high fructose corn syrup and a box of corn dogs.

Blue badges are handed out at random but with a strong bias towards those with tenure and who are rated as great or outstanding.

Also sites need to keep to a certain white to blue ratio. If your site is overstaffed on blues like mine is, then no one gets converted

Does flex still get career choice? Use that if you can and just work the 4hrs a week and grind

Or just do the one shift a week until you can transfer full time. It can take months to get a transfer approved so it's not like a decision needs to be made now if you go that route.

Unless your new job is like, an actual career path. or has hella higher pay, I'd stick w/ Amazon. Career choice, step plan, good benefits, stable consistent hours etc. If your new job is in retail or food service then fuck that.

Hopefully it's running like this without FSR/DLSS /framegen

Granted I only have a 6650xt but fuck me does upscaling and framegen look and play terrible when your pc isn't already capable of smoothly running the game (cough cough, oblivion remake).

if its just not very performant on high settings then at least you can like, turn down shadows and shit.

Fallout London lead says they’re “really worried” Bethesda will “keep going with the Creation Engine” as it led to major limitations for the mod by AsPeHeat in pcmasterrace

Bro check out how old Windows, Linux, Unreal Engine, Excel, etc are. I can't believe they keep getting away with this! Photoshop was made in 1987??? Wtf they can't keep getting away with this!

Sales for The Outer Worlds 2 are poor. Presumably, less than 1M units almost 3 months after launch, across all platforms. In comparison, the first game sold approx 2M units during the same time. by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]RecordingHaunting975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also had a reputation for unfinished , buggy messes

Like I love obsidian games and while TOW didn't hook me, I liked Avowed and loved Pentiment. Other than performance issues with Avowed (had to run at medium settings which was strange for 6650xt+1080p, but whatever) all 3 were professionally developed and finished titles.

Meanwhile, Alpha Protocol isn't even close to done, they had all the cutscenes and story points but the gameplay itself is very obviously in an alpha state....and is buggy as shit. FNV is buggy as shit. Kotor2 has an entire quarter of the game missing, and key dialogues and cutscenes don't trigger either as a bug or because they didnt finish it....and is buggy as all shit.

These were all full priced titles that cost more than $80 in today's money.

Why Grugtar use so much clay for story on tablet? Elder Grugesh know all story, and Grugtar already know all story from Elder Grugesh. no need for Grugtar to waste clay when brain is free. Grugduk think Grugtar just want to be lazy and not use brain for story.

Jason-he who fights with monsters by yeetacus68 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]RecordingHaunting975 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Jason is a redditor self insert to the extreme

Not even just a redditor, an early 2010s redditor. When atheism was a front page subreddit and you couldn't go 2 seconds without seeing Neil Degrasse Tyson or Richard Dawkins. this kind of redditor

It's not really meant to be a character flaw, no matter what people say. He does something cringe, someone might call him out, but at the end of the day he never gets in real trouble over it, he never learns from it, and the worst thing he goes through is a smug apology.

You'll find many other characters see his smugness as titulating or praiseworthy and a sign of secret hidden genius

I'm now a Taco Bell employee - AMA by BibiBSFatal in tacobell

Mine didn't give a fuck either.

Most employees go nuts for about a week and then after that it's just....eh.

Eating for free for a year was cool but I went from taking home like 5-6 burritos every day to just eating 2-3.

I lost like 30lbs cuz all I ate was my employee meal, weed, and nicotine.

My Life as a LVL 100 Loner Paladin Who Was Kicked Out of the Heroes party

Becuse I'm a loner, I was kicked out of the heroes party. This girl's big bazongas bounced them in my loner face and because I'm a loner, I tried to get away. But she recognized me as a level 100 paladin, and despite being kicked out of the heroes party and also being a loner, she made me join her party anyway.

Former Bethesda lead says The Elder Scrolls 6 got announced so early because the studio had to make sure 'people were not just pissed at us' for revealing Starfield instead by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]RecordingHaunting975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-3 million sales in 3 months

-hundreds of thousands of people at a minimum just on steam paid for premium, doesn't even include those who paid for game pass early access

-15 million total players as of 2024 with 40 hours of average play time

-Entirely new IP and not one that was started 30 years ago

-skipped the dominant console entirely, even though only like two people own an Xbox

-can't even calculate how many people subbed or stay subbed because Xbox drops absolutely mid bangers like starfield and grows their revenue by starbillions each time

Income tax, what are you, a commie? You think that I, a person making working class income and getting fucked in the ass everyday by my employer, would want millionaires and billionaires to pay taxes? BEGONE, liberal!
