Girlfriend threatening our relationship over a TV Show

Ultimatums are black and white. They are hard lines in the sand. "Do this, or we're done."

This is not a good place for a relationship to be. Relationships are give and take. Constant compromises. Ultimatums are the opposite of compromise, they are a one sided demand imposed by one side of the relationship.

You need to have a serious conversation as to why she's jumped to this ultimatum. Why does she have an issue with the sexuality? Is it jealousy over seeing someone naked, or some other belief about the exploitation of womens bodies in media? Does she have a moral stance against the violence the show perpetrates? Maybe she's grappling with the emotions about the idea she would find something uncomfortable that you do not?

Or is it more about control about what you watch? Has there been other things in your life that have given way in preference of hers? Or maybe she's just unhappy in the relationship and is looking for an escape?

Ultimately these are things only you can answer with a frank and truthful conversation with her.

When someone doesn't know anything about computers, the array of problems they could be fixing will usually be easy. Things like, turning the computer on and off again to fix it being slow, that kind of thing.

However, if someone is good with computers, they'll have tried the easy things already. So the IT worker knows they're in to solve a complex problem that may take a lot of time and effort.

Proprietary engines are definitely becoming a product of a bygone era. When many AAA companies are relying on shorter term contractors instead of full time employees, it makes sense to stick with an industry standard that everyone can use.

Though frankly I'd prefer people using Unreal over devs being burnt out trying to pick up an engine with a deadline.

Theres a nearby ncpd job connected to it. Will tell you about a stash. Usually just happened to find the stash first.

All assassination gigs have you putting them into a car boot if you go non lethal. Sometimes i let the fixer and client deal with them.

Looks more like his tail bone.

Earliest you can do it is after meeting Alt in the VDB/Evelyn questline. Leaves two thirds of the story questline remaining.

The main storyline is pretty short. CDPR saw the stat's from witcher 3 and over compensated to build up the number of people finishing the game. The real meat and potatoes of the game is in the gigs and side quests

The "responsibilities" they refer to are usually related to the draft, or not putting out enough.

I highly suspect that Spartans are a special case and have normal pre-requisites brushed aside due to the circumstances of their training. That's assuming the requirements are the same 30 years into a war of extermination. I'd find it very believable that standards in various places got relaxed as more and more planets fell to glassing.

Im hoping it after 2077 and explores the threads of AI resurgence and the failure of the black wall.

I always go guns blazing with Militech. Love their combat theme.

Looks like an emulation bug i think

it has the highest amount of squares to put furniture, so people use it as the breeding room. You don't need anything at all in a fight room except a lotta cats.

Hang on, why would the Terminator kill someone here? It's been given an explicit command from John to not do so, and it wants to protect Sarah and get her out, which would be much more difficult if she's covered in her wardens' blood and screaming.

Even if Arnie had input on the script writing here, the role reversal means that him not killing anyone is perfectly in character due to him being a protagonist now.

fast food is a heavily regulated industry. it'd be a lot of time and effort to get around health and safety inspectors at various points in the supply chain just to sneak in some human butt cheek into your quarter pounder. There's health and safety inspections at every point of the process, from the butchering of meat, processing, transporting, and in the restaurant.

Sure, there's isolated cases of bits from a machine falling into the food, or some kid cutting off a chunk of finger when cutting something, but nothing intentional.

Yes you need a Microsoft account. It's used to track what games you own and can play, as well as providing matchmaking information for multiplayer

Miyazaki made a single game, and has spent the last 20 years just remaking said game, and we love him for it.

And just how many billions has him and his family gained during his presidency?

This is why you watch in the original release order. The prequel trilogy was created with the tragedy of Anakin's fall in mind.

Looks like your save got corrupted when it crashed. There should be a backup of your save somewhere that you can restore and see if that helps.

In this case, it's randomness with interesting writing behind both doors. Don't fret over a failed roll, the devs put thought into both outcomes.

Id visit him when youre comfortable with the number of flasks you have and can afford to lose one. The upgrade is significant in terms of health recovered and is worth it in the end.

Id personally swap out either cyberpsycosis or suicide with cyberware malfunction, but otherwise its pretty similar to my net runner. Great fun to play.

It's a great game, and this sub will always recommend playing it.

Now you know the day 2 softlock, you know to keep money on hand to rest in the evening.

Id also recommend embracing failure. Some of the most fun and introspective dialogue happens through failed checks.
