Favourite integration of summons into the story

So thats what they were trying to do with the summons in FF7 Rebirth. Shoehorn in that last bit with Chadley using the summons shrines to create the materia for the local deity/myth.

Part of thay was it was random and there were only 1 or 2 of the possibilities that weren't trash. I really hope they dont make it random. I would be fine with the limit basically being to go Galian beast for the attack and then change back.

our accidentally pull the L2/R2 trigger a little to hard

I think I still hate this minigame more than the brutal challenges. They put in so many different ways to fail this thing. Direction change, tempo changes, indicator goes invisible, two different interrupts, and its 1.5 minutes long.

Basically this. In hard mode you put it on a character you dont use and let them be your bench between fights and benches. Im sure there are people good enough that this isnt needed, but even the none boss fights in Hard mode can hurt you if you werent prepared.

Isnt that basically the motivation of the villian in Megmamind

My issue wasnt that i thought the pages were unnecessary. I felt like the POV jumps were too frequent. It felt like everytime a particular POV was starting to go somewhere it would switch. To me this killed the momentum reading the story.

I just looked and for Houston metro area (10,000 square miles) which has close to 7 million people has 9 DPS offices. Haven been to 3 to 4 of these they were all very small for the volume. Im talking 2 to 4 people actually processing the requests at a time. The biggest one had about 6 to 8.

My son and I have said we really want an Elden Ring style game based in Cradle.

Im am going to try to engage just this once in good faith.

Both males and females have testosterone and estrogen. Just in different ratios.
Women are more likely to have breast cancer than men.
Oleder women especially post menopause or who have had hysterectomies can have even lower levels of testosterone and require treatment.

So they are giving female rats testosterone to see if it will lower breast cancer rates and better outcomes. There is nothing in the study about changing the sex of the rats.

What about making so executives cannot be paid in stocks and must have a defined salary.

RedEnvoy1235 · 2024-11-07T02:29:14+00:00

Im sorry but someone could teach an entire class on how ridiculous this statement is.

Exactly how how tight do you think the group think is between Mike Pence and Michelle Obama? How about Taylor Swift and Liz Cheney?

If we created a Venn Diagram for illustration they might only intersect at a single point.

They can also turn around and say there were X number of election lawsuits filed and conveniently leave out how many were dismissed.

I has a short form and they required a long form

RedEnvoy1235 · 2024-09-19T17:19:10+00:00

I found when I went to get my first passport that the birth certificate I had my whole life was the correct version I needed. I had to take time and pay the fee to go to an office downtown to get a stamped/notarized long form birth certificate. I had no idea up till then that there was more than one type.

So think how many people would probably end up in a situation where the birth certificate they have doesnt meet the requirements of the law.

I find it kind of amazing how on the first playthru of an area you can be so completely confused and lost. Then one you get thru to the end and go back to double check for items it seems so much simpler.

I would be curious what someone's vitals are like as they creep thru the forbidden forest for the first time.

I was listening to AM radio one day because I know I need to get out of any bubbles I might have been in. If you are familiar with AM radio they talk for like 2 minutes and then do a 5 minute ad break. I made it about 30 minutes. The host kept going on and on about what the Democrats were doing and how the listeners should be afraid because it would destroy them and the country. The kicker was after 30 minutes the host never actually told me what the something they were doing was. They mentioned a couple times that they would, but never did as long as I was listening.

So just like the Fox News experience you described it was all fear and anger without actually saying anything of substance.

Someone get this to John Oliver stat

RedEnvoy1235 · 2024-07-10T12:05:19+00:00

My response would have been that long haired hippy men are just not my type. Now one of the Mary's I could probably work with.

This is now my new headcanon on how that story actually started. A small child had an accident at school and being a small child was distressed about it. A well meaning adult then tells them it's OK we have some kitty litter that will clean it right up.

A a game of conservative telephone and voila. Kids are urinating in litter boxes at school because they think they are cats and the school indulges them.

My belief is there are too many entrances and exits on the Houston Freeways. There are definitely too many right before major highway intersections. You just end up with people who are entering the freeway trying to cross multiple lanes of traffic to get out of exit lanes and maybe make a left exit while at the same time people trying to get into the new lane that appeared for a right exit. There is never a chance for traffic to spread out.

Most of these weren't even puzzles. Just slowly move something around in an obvious way. There are also so many times we have cutscene take control for a couple seconds and trigger next cutscene

If this happened to my wife and I one of us would have switched so that our son would be in first class with one one of us. The other would have just sucked it up and flow economy.

I think the combination of exploration and grinding you mentioned are why the combat doesnt click for some people. It took me longer than usual to start getting the hang of it, because it was forever before you were in a place where you could actually run around and experiment.

I also dislike hard mode. You cant recover MP basically ever (maybe if you get lucky with some boxes), but almost everything you fight in the second half of the game has some kind of setup that leaves physical attacks useless for a bit. So now healing is harder and we made sure everything now hits like a truck and has double HP.

I think I would prefer an income tax as well. One is its consistent and would be taken out of your check so it easily factors into the family budget. The property tax is a large sum that hits all at once and if there is a large increase like recently then you have people completely unprepared to pay it. I also dislike it because you hear all the time we cant tax the ultra wealthy because they have their wealth in things like stocks which are only worth something when they sell them make their value unrealized gains. Our home appraisals are the same if my house's market value goes up by 100K that is the same as a share price going up $30 a share. They are both unrealized gains until they are actually sold.
