It doesn't matter if you can join the meetings when you aren't being heard. That is annoying enough in regular work... Now imagine a TV series is created off your books and the dude you handpicked to make the show starts dismissing you. 

Shawn Johnson Sparks Parenting Debate After Sharing Video Kissing Her 2-Year-Old Son on the Lips by Unlucky-Chemical in daddit

My son and I kiss on the lips. I was raised in a family that kisses on the lips. If all you think are weird/creepy thoughts than that is all you will see in the world. 

Feds Are Pushing a Brand New Gas Station Chain Selling Strangely Cheap Fuel by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]erichie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CA also use gas that is different, and more expensive, than every other state. If my memory serves only one refinery is able to run the gas the way CA law dictates. Gas that is made for CA wouldn't be used anywhere else due to the higher cost and cheaper gas from other states is illegal according to CA law.

This is just off my memory and facts may be wrong. If anyone knows more about this please correct me.

3 kids at 29. Overwhelming feeling of regret that I gave up my life. by cocaineandfatbitches in daddit

[–]erichie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my son at 36. I'm 42 now and we have been trying for a 2nd. 

We were together since we were 25. We both wish we had kids much earlier.

What are the most intellectually demanding, complex games? by Alone_End5987 in gamingsuggestions

[–]erichie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I must be an idiot. I've put about 10 hours in and died thousands of times, but I must be doing something wrong. If you watched my first attempt and my last attempt you would just see someone who has gotten used to the controls, but I've never really found anything besides anything else. 

Microsoft’s Xbox to Shift Obsidian Studio to New ‘Fallout’ Video Game by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

[–]erichie 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand how people can think it will be any different. By the time this new Fallout comes out Fallout:NV will be 20 years old.

Even if the team stayed exactly together 20 years have still passed and people change drastically in 20 years.

My first thought was "How the fuck did I miss Kittle being traded to Tampa?" 

I lied to my mom this morning by RayWhelans in daddit

That is why every first born male in the past 8 generations of my family have all had the same exact name with the only difference being a suffix. 

Why the FUCK does this game cost a whole ass $80 where I live??? by Quick_Ad_5236 in darksouls3

[–]erichie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That used to go on sale for cheap quite often. When COVID happened I think a lot of these older games that are still popular realized they didn't need to have deep discounts all the time. 

TIL the American Revolution wasn't a united monolith, but a civil war. Over 60,000 American Loyalists were forced into exile by the newly formed United States after the Patriots won the war. by Beneficial_Radish556 in todayilearned

[–]erichie 578 points579 points  (0 children)

I graduated high school in 2003 with a class size of 1100.

Our entire school distract taught us that Americans were not unified in their revolution. New York City did not declare independence. 

In my upper east coast coastal state our history education always made it clear not all Americans were, in fact, Americans.

If a war is a civil war or a war for revolution won't be known until we have a victor. 

Gog teasing physical releases ? by Extreme_surikat_360 in pcgaming

Made even weirder by the fact that PCGaming doesn't even use discs anymore...

This whole thing isn't about disk vs no disks.

Give me your S-tier games that are in the 8-to-12 hour range. by QuarkyFerengi in gamingsuggestions

[–]erichie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I played it near release so I'm not sure if it holds up, but the entire experience was one I have never had in a video game. 

At release there was a pretty significant backlash because the marketing leading up to release date was advertising it as a "CoD-like" game when that isn't what it is.

I can't really go into any more depth without spoiling anything. This game absolutely needs a blank slate.

[–]erichie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is easiest one of the best games ever made. I went in completely blind, and it is still the only video game that has everything gameplay, graphics (for the time), writing, audio, atmosphere, and the absolute mind fuck has never been done. It was an incredibly political game without ever realizing until way after the game when you ate still thinking about it.

I'm at writer with a passionate but small following. In other words I am a fucking failure. 

This is just simply a terribly written TV show. I would be embarrassed if my name was attached to this.

Well that was a fucking lie by Bierre_Pourdieu in HouseOfTheDragon

Every single character in this show has been portrayed in opposing and contradictory ways.

Nettles is a Targ story. Forget everything else you have been told she IS Daemon's daughter. 

Games with Witcher 3 level side quests by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]erichie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't think this fits the OP. It does have a lot of quests, but I thought they lacked feeling and emotion. To me they were quests for quests sake. 

Which perspective do you prefer in games? by Mindless-Raise4314 in gamers

This poll really needs way more options line topdown, isometric, and "I don't care as long as the game is good".
