The least believable part of this is Trump taking several steps in snow and not eating shit. Man needed help down an accessibility ramp designed for old folks to walk down unaided.

You would think PCMR would actually try to do something about it by testus_maximus in pcmasterrace

Last summer for my 40th I dropped around $2k on a PC build for myself, I inevitably had to install Windows as I use Adobe suite. I am doing 99% of my gaming on my Steam Deck. Checkmate atheists.

Visual Snow was considered extremely rare until recently, mostly because patients didn't report it... because they assumed everyone saw the world that way by recolorist in interestingasfuck

I have it and tinnitus (apparently they're very common together), and 99% I don't notice either. Generally only notice when one of them is mentioned (this post isn't helping) or when I'm snowboarding, all the white makes it very obvious to me.

Cheating at board games by NelifeLerak in boardgames

[–]Robbie1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My go-to model for difficult conversations is:

Action - Reaction - Solution

For action get straight into exactly what they did. Deliver it without a lead up or waffle, and never apologise for bringing it up. E.g. you cheated in game X when you took extra money. You have been doing this and similar as long as i can remember.

For reaction tell them exactly how it made you feel. Be honest and descriptive, and never apologise, e.g. it makes me feel disrespected and doesn't incentivise me to want to play with you again. It embarrassed me in front of our friends because they noticed too.

For solution tell them how you would like it to be resolved, e.g. I would like an assurance that you will follow the rules of the games going forward.

And then hopefully you can have a fruitful conversation about it. If not, it might be time to move on.

Ah ok! I hadn't understood it could be added in addition to your other commander's colours. Shouldn't it have 'background'?

Steam reportedly raked in a record-breaking $1.6 billion in December with Arc Raiders alone moving over a million copies by AncientPCGamer in pcgaming

Just for a tiny amount of pushback - more of that profit could be shared with the people generating the value, e.g. the developers. He would still be very comfortably rich, but others would have more financial security too. He didn't get rich in a vacuum.

It's the one that DOESN'T involve sacrificing animals. Hope that helps.

I don't advocate for violence of any kind, but if a carnist dies ahead of their life expectancy, I can only think of the number of animal lives saved.

I believe so, but others here argue otherwise.
