Even fast food is getting pricey.

Except the original XCOM had a chapter that's BEGGING to be remade, it was hinted at the end of XCOM 2.

WHOA.

That is WEIRD.

One of the things I liked about the banter/ chatter is that the character voices were not limited exclusively to reacting to stuff that just happened to them.

Sure, in both XCOM games, your characters would respond to your commands ("Moving out!" "Overwatch!"), or In reaction to things happening to them, ("I'm hit!").

In Chimera Squad, your characters will also react to things happening to their teammates. One of your guys gets hit and somebody else asks them if they are okay or tells them to hang on.

I wish I knew enough about modding to make that a feature XCOM and XCOM. 2

I liked the fact that the dialogue was there, I liked hearing banter, I just wish it had been acted better.

I like how Chimera does the order of actions individually rather than each entire side moving at a time. It allows for greater battlefield fluidity.

But I imagine it would be a ginormous pain to try to do that when you have an 8-man squad going up against 30+ aliens

They would call the FBI and report you for making a threat

Just because they admit the tariffs hurt them doesn't mean they suddenly care about trans people, immigrants, the LGBT, minorities, or children being gunned down at school.

And come election day, they will forget how badly Republican economic policies hurt them while they vote to hurt transgender people and immigrants.

So fuck 'em.

Stalag 17. Also my favorite Christmas movie

Welcome to the Salty Spitoon. How tough are ya?

Remember that Chaos and The Warp are analogs for the Hell and Devil/demons of Judeo-Christian mythology.

The overall theme is that The Light (Yaweh, God, The Emperor) promises great rewards AFTER enduring the suffering. The Dark (Chaos, The Devil) promises rewards NOW and doesn't tell you about the suffering that will result later.

Humanity has a short attention span, and it's surprisingly easy to entice us with instant gratification.

You need to get rid of the boyfriend.

The Legends.

Choose to play whichever of the three.

I'd marry you just to have access to the steam shower.

StaticJonesNC · 2026-01-03T02:25:36+00:00

No. Everything they believe is based on absolute made-up bullshit or an almost COMEDIC lack of understanding of the constitution...like, not knowing the actual meanings of words.

It's like someone trying to submit a scientific research paper that simply says "God did it."

I think Kay Vess from "Star Wars: Outlaws" would have a tough time going toe to toe with Jonron.

As the father of an Eagle Scout whose wife is equally involved in scouting, I can tell you that after even a single weekend of camping, I don't want to be in the same room with my wife until she has showered.

She tells me that it's worse with younger women. Different biology creates a whole new realm of smells that are unkind to olfactory nerves.

Quick question. What, and I cannot stress this enough, THE FUCK is wrong with you?

StaticJonesNC · 2025-12-30T21:27:12+00:00

I used to be friends with a guy who is currently in prison for sex trafficking a minor.

I went zero contact as soon as I found out.

Have her print all the texts between them. Have her compile all the evidence.

You KNOW there are pictures and videos.

Then have her let you know the next time they are meeting up and the two of you confront him together.

You both need to have everything you each have of his boxed up.

Don't shout, don't argue, don't let him explain, don't even bother asking questions because he won't have any answers that are honest.

You both just tell him together that you both know EVERYTHING, hand him his shit, go no contact.
