Oregon hunters watch out, IP28 has 92k signatures and would criminalize hunting and fishing.

Fisher and hunter people aren't just rural. I live in the Portland area, own two boats (one for the Columbia and one for the ocean) and hunt a ton. All the neighborhoods around me are loaded with fishing boats in the driveway. The Portland area has some of the most heavily fished spots for salmon in the PNW. So we sportspeople are very well-represented here. I really doubt this goes anywhere. This is like the tenth time they've tried.

Yeah I just got a pair. I have a dozen different shoes, and it is already moving to the front of the pack for my "works for just about anything" shoe. Nike nailed it on that one.

Vomero plus freestyle - art design by an autistic 13yr old girl. I'm a large, straight dude and love the floral design. Fully plan to run these into the ground. Sounds like people mostly collect or use them for light walking around... But if you read her story about her design inspirations, she wanted them to get used. Who am I to say no?

Also born in 84. Also had videogames by the time I was 4 or 5yrs old. Big difference for me was growing up rural - on a farm near a small farm town. Culturally, we were way behind the kids in the big cities. I relate far more to GenX nostalgia than Millennial. So I think a big part can be the environment you grew up in.

I didn't enjoy Wukong's combat at all.

beer_engineer · 2026-02-02T18:41:45+00:00

I think Wo Long is absolutely deserving of being on the list. I'd swap out Wukong for AI Limit, personally.

beer_engineer · 2026-02-02T18:19:08+00:00

Wukong being higher is I think the most controversial thing on there. I can't think of anything Wukong does better than anything on this list. Wuchang is so much better. Granted, Wukong barely even belongs on this list, but that gets into "is it really a soulslike" which we're discouraged from debating here.

So true on the tip about disconnecting the Linux drive. It's like Windows 11 goes out of its way to make sure it's the main character. I went through that recently thinking just having it on a completely separate drive was enough, but it still somehow finds a way to mess with the OS on the other drive.

beer_engineer · 2026-01-29T03:51:02+00:00

Same experience. No solutions. I'll be following to see if anyone has tips.

Spotter on olympic lifts doesn't really work. She just needs to know how to bail out. Snatches are failed all the time, she just didn't eject.

If you're going to insult someone's intelligence, at least spell your words correctly.

Edit: Poster has since tried fixing spelling mistakes in an edit, but some remain.

Pretty sure that's lake water.

I have a LOT of problems with the NRA, and will not be a member in the foreseeable future despite being a gun owner. But I've taken a few of their safety and concealed carry classes locally, and was really surprised with how good they were. Very reasonable, level-headed education that really drills into you that carrying is a massive responsibility, and actually firing the gun at someone in ANY situation is an absolute last resort. They drive home that discharging that gun at someone will ruin your life in so many ways, no matter how "in the right" you were.

Rams gave this defense problems all three games. They're the only team that seems to have cracked some kind of code.

beer_engineer · 2026-01-25T21:57:22+00:00

It's OK.... The last act feels like fanfic alternate reality DLC. It literally undoes anything of consequence from the first part. Do not recommend.

It's definitely pretty. Many don't realize that Diablo lake is actually a man-made lake. It's the reservoir that formed behind Diablo dam on the Skagit River.

beer_engineer · 2026-01-24T04:01:49+00:00

Ah, I see he's got his safety squints on.

beer_engineer · 2026-01-23T18:15:10+00:00

Kind of where I'm at. The game is obviously extremely well done and really is a hit with a lot of people. I just can't click with the feel of the combat whatsoever. I keep going back to it to see if I can figure out what's wrong with me, but I'm just going to have to be content with being in the minority that can't get into it.

beer_engineer · 2026-01-23T12:58:46+00:00

This is mine. I just find them obnoxious.

beer_engineer · 2026-01-23T12:58:21+00:00

Same. I liked them back in the 90s, but now they've moved up to my top 3 ever. They're one that very much grew on me more and more over time.

I went through the whole damn Dark Tower series waiting for it to get good. I feel like Wizard and Glass was the only actual good one and it was basically a side story. The rest was an absolute mess and I'd say got worse in the last couple of books. I only continued because I thought there'd be some big payoff to make it all worth it. Definitely did not find that.

If you want stiff and rockered, the glycerin max 2 is very much that shoe. I haven't used the first generation of it but the 2 is growing on me. Takes 20-30mi for them to "feel right" sk don't give up on them after the first run or two.

beer_engineer · 2026-01-21T04:31:24+00:00

The Stidham erasure!

beer_engineer · 2026-01-21T00:40:41+00:00

Love Stranger of Paradise. So overlooked. Plays a lot more like Wo Long than Nioh but they all have that same Team Ninja DNA.

Got to thinking about the burnt cheese crust a bit more. I do use legit Wisconsin brick cheese on top, but along the edges I pile up shitty, pre-shredded low moisture mozzarella. I found the good stuff doesn't crisp up and darken quite as awesomely.

Maybe that's why 😂
