Can’t relate; I do think its pretty boring. Its up there with like; clubbing or bar culture. I don’t hate it, but I’m left wishing it was just like, a house party or something, somewhere less loud and crowded.
I don’t shit on sportsfans or anything, I just can’t understand why its enjoyable to watch. But like, there’s lots of hobbies I don’t ‘get’, so I’m not judging people for liking things I don’t. And I do like playing sports, generally speaking.
I didn’t care for it. Very much ‘skill issue’, but all the games I’ve played so far against people has felt like I lost the game in the first 10 minutes, and then had to endure 30 minutes of getting my balls stepped on for the game to end, since there’s no surrender option, and didn’t feel like there’s any ‘comeback’ mechanics, but also the winning team feels like it takes a while to actually secure victory.
Compared to League of Legends (which I haven’t played in years, but did rack up many hours back in college), where a) you can surrender, and more importantly b) its possible to win quite quickly, both from just being ahead, but also from doing a cheeky ‘backdoor’.
Deadlock, it feels like the ‘securing victory’ route requiring minions, and also just being a multistage affair with mandatory wait periods in between, just makes it feel like a slog, both being on the winning or losing side.
‘scallops’ from king mushrooms might be my favorite
Chicken/hen of the woods ‘pulled pork’ tacos are excellent (oyster mushrooms also work)
Lion’s mane ‘crab cakes’
Combined with Beanis for blackbean and mushroom burgers
Also just, in soup. Minestrone is a classic, but I’ve been liking as a side some miso soup with just a bit of diced button mushrooms and seaweed
I’m sorry she’s cringe. Its not my fault (its the writers)
Gale is the fucking worst. He talks like a redditor. Probably only Astarion is worse.
Karlach I guess I can see people liking; to me its less the character, and more the writing. She isn’t sold to me; she comes off not like a person, but like a new player’s first barbarian trying to fight for ~power and love and violence!. I can’t take her seriously, she just feel like a tumblr post made live or something.
Ugh, yeah, that tracks.
#1 complaint (and, really only, aside from bugs) about BG3 is just how unlikable every single companion is. And yeah, they do got big Morrigan energy, for worse.
Thank you for the answer! That makes it a lot more clear what’s going on; the impression I got from the marketing material was kind of all over the place and made it seem a “do everything” mess.
Probably not the game for me? Sounds like I might like 2/5s of the core gameplay, but also probably will mildly to strongly dislike another 2/5s. I like puzzles and platforming, but I find hack and slash combat extremely boring. I do like that there’s no ‘timed social links’ like in Personal; one of like 3 major reasons why I don’t like those games.
I don’t especially get what kind of game it is from its trailer. I glossed over it because of this when I saw it on Steam.
It looks kinda open world hack and slash-y? Which are two genres I mostly hate. But also, it has some mention of puzzles, which I do like. But its hard for me to tell “what is the thing you spend most of your time doing” while looking at its press material.
Star control 2 fucks. Highly recommend. Basically a proto Mass Efect, but still better thannit in a few ways (if obviously much less ‘cinematic’ and character driven).
I think his analysis of election numbers is solid, maybe the best out there.
But goddamn is he a fucking dumbass. I love his post breaking down the ‘democrat coalition’ into liberals and progressives, and genuinely good (if very very basic) description about how different they are, only held together by the threat of the right wing. And then being like, ‘yeah so I’m a liberal because progressives suck’.
bro really expects us to not recognize cheeseburger freedom man, smh
I don’t say this to go to bat for Kamala, but like, I think she absolutely has better odds of winning the election than Biden.
Like, so much electoralism is ‘vibes’. People have pointed to her polling worse than Biden as some ‘gotcha’ over her being a weaker candidate, but like, if she’s only polling a point or two worse that Biden, despite not campaigning or doing anything at all, that says a lot about how weak of a candidate Biden is/was.
Not saying I expect Kamala to like, ‘slay queen’ or whatever the fuck, but like, if she can not be a zombie corpse on stage, she can earn some ‘points’ back.
I guess we’ll see; she is a weird alien in some ways, and maybe that will kill her vibes or w/e. (which, mocking her weird laugh is dumb, as dumb as mocking trump for ‘lol he orange’ instead of y’know, the fascism, but ‘politicians not be weird’ is definitely a bar the average voter cares about.)
I think it is a great idea, if the bones of the house are solid (and, from what you said it sounds like they are), and if you are serious about putting in those hours and labor.
A lot of people think they are, but it can be hard to translate ‘off hours at home’ into ‘additional unpaid labor hours’ mentally sometimes. I work construction (electrical), and I’ve seen very skilled and active workers leave their homes full of half finished projects like the house you’re looking at is, just because of the mental and physical toll it takes go from work, back home to do more work.
But it can and will save you a lot of money to do it yourself, or even mostly yourself, with the added upside of being able to sculpt you home to your preferences, and to be familiar with what is where in case of doing later repairs or renovations down the road.
If you need any electrical advice, feel free to shoot me a DM. Hopefully you won’t need to do more than splice and pull romex or maybe cat5, which should be pretty simple.
No
If I had to eat one (and assuming its vegan), I’d pick pizza with ranch. I wouldn’t add it myself, but the other three are actively disguising to me, and ranch on pizza is like, only mildly gross.
Lol yeah… I’m allergic to grapes, so I can’t eat at like any french restaurant
though frankly, I have enough allergies I generally don’t feel safe eating at any restaurant
I do like the bastardized french cooking I make for myself at home though, using rice wine, coconut cream, and vegan butter
I wish I had ever felt that. Its only ever given me anxiety and headaches.
Are… dating sims, widely played? I know they’re ‘popular’, but I assumed popular among fair minority of the populace.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor was the first band I really liked when I was a young teen decades ago. And they’re still based as hell. I love, for their recent tour, this being their amp:
You are right. But like, ‘learning to do sportstalk’ to help with ‘socialization’ (especially at work) doesn’t make me like sports. If anything, I kinda makes me think its dumber.
But yeah, sports, beers/alcohol, guns, hunting, all classic ‘guy talk’ I’m decently good at, despite none being things I’m really into.
