The smell is unbearable. Probably the only place these should be smoked is in the Cuban jungle. I’ve had a pleasant cigar experience before, but it’s much worse than cigarettes for everyone in a 200 m radius.
People here focus a lot on the fighting and difficulty.
Just so you know, it’s also absolutely gorgeous to look at and the game feel is incredibly tight and responsive. If you just run around in it for an hour or two, but don’t have the patience for getting really good a tapping your shoulder button, you probably still have a good time.
The only one that was on par so far was Nine Sols. It has the most insane final boss I’ve ever seen and the only bossfight I had to grind harder than Father Owl. Probably took me 8+ hours over three days. After beating it, i felt like I could parry bullets in real life if just tried a little harder. Gorgeous and deeply engaging game too.

If the director has a great sense of humor and a horror background, just make Hornsent the protagonist. Also Jar People please.
Most slop isn’t made for my taste, so I’m honestly looking forward to it.
Feels more like the dope ass bear is looking at me.
I work in heavy industrial production and my company bought another.
Their plants were in a much worse state in regards to health and safety. Higher incident rates, worse safety practices, less maintained equipment and a worse culture about mistakes and criticism lead to people get hurt much more often.
Among all the corporate nonsense, I appreciated that they actually invested the money to make work safer. People get heavily injured or lose their lives when dealing with these large machines. Most of the workers there were grateful as the last owner was just interested in running the plant dry, no matter the cost of human lifes.
If you make or sell anything in the US, or really anywhere, you need stuff from China. Anything that contains any electronics (i.e almost everything important), many resources, plastic parts, anything the US has outsourced is ordered via sea freight from China.
Now it’s 64% less things over a single week. Your whole economy relies on cheap stuff from China and they made it not cheap anymore. So companies will not order anymore, because they can’t afford it, knowing that can’t just double their prices. Most companies probably hope, that this is temporary and want to delay their orders until they have some level of security, that shit is not two or three times as expensive as it was the month before.
If that doesn’t happen, everything down the supply chain will be affected. From food to cars to data centers and IT, consumer goods, cosmetics, healthcare. The shipping companies themselves. Logistics, ports, trucks. Building materials like steel and concrete. Everything. And most companies hold very little things in storage these days, they rely on just-in-time delivery because material on stock is expensive, so this impact will come very quick.
And nothing, outside of a gigantic national effort that would be comparable to the brutal industrialization of the Soviet Union or China, could compensate for this. The consequences are a massive economic crisis agaist which 2008 or Covid looks like peanuts.
Trump will bend. Or he might have to dodge a few more bullets.
I think it’s a bad rep, because people (ofc especially women) would like to have at least some body parts that aren’t immediately sexualized, but now you even have to think about the beach pic of your feet in the sand.
Bare feet are seen as very innocuous… Until the feet people show up, are horny on main, put them in a wiki, give them a rating and catalogue all the feet pics.
In bed it definitely falls for me under the “if it brings you joy, we’ll find a way” category.
Cutscene at the end of Act 2:
Kim lies with a gunshot wound against a wall. Harry tried to stop the bleeding with a handkerchief he got from Joyce Messier, who is very reasonable and also young and hot now.
Kim takes off his pissf****t jacket and hands it to Harry.
“Guess you gotta be the pissf****t now, huh…”
“Goddamit, Kim, don’t say shit like that!”
“Take care of it… Can’t go on… Woke has gone …too…far…”
Kim closes his eyes and dies.
Harry gets up, puts on the jacket, tightens the horrific neck tie, who’s back as comic relief and has an incredibly annoying catch phrase, and looks into the sunset. A slowly rising mashup of Revacholiere/Won’t get fooled again plays.
In a general sense. In the day to day business these ghouls can and will do things that will hurt their mid/long term interest because it fits their vibe or they don’t really get it/know the history.
Elon does want to lead a fascist empire, but the nonsense-ai-crypto-bazinga version in his ketamine-head, not the fairly boring but successful, actually existing empire.
Good, cheap wireless noise-cancelling headphones are one of the few legitimately wonderful technological advancements of the last 10 years. Very few things help my with my ADHD as much as these fuckers.
Annoying coworker breathing like a 400 m runner? Headphones. Loud, stressful supermarket? Headphones. The little kid downstairs throws it’s third tantrum of the day? You know it.
Cables can suck it. I will wrestle Bluetooth anyday before getting my head yanked back because I forgot my headset has a cable and i suddenly got up to get some water.
By the way, I think the boys found an actual mermaid, let’s check it out. Hm, why can I hear bells tolling on the open sea?

Love me a good wetbulb room temperature.
Dexamphetamine.
Sleeping on time also helps. But that’s difficult.
I don’t care. Just unify it. If you work with data and databases in an international company it constantly fucks you over. Excel still falls apart when mixing seperators from different sources. It’s so utterly dumb that we can’t agree on how to write down numbers.
I firmly believe that happiness is a failed concept. It frames the fundamental emotion of joy as this attainable human state that we are supposed to be in. But joy, like all emotions, can only ever be temporary. If there is no joy, our lives will feel worthless and painful and we must do something about that. But just seeking joy, “happiness” or attempting to make it permanent is just as detrimental, as anybody who has suffered from addiction will know.
A much more useful word (in english) is content. You can be content with something, even if it makes you sad. When my grandfather died, I was sad and deeply heartbroken. I certainly wasn’t happy, but i was content with how we said goodbye, how he was cared for in his last days, going out on his own terms.
ADHD and especially the medication made me realize how fickle our brain chemistry is. My meds go ham on my dopamine production/absorption and suddenly I’m doing good, finding some joy in my work, even if it bores me to death. Until it wears off and then sometimes I crash and feel sad, lonely and hopeless. But now that I am diagnosed and medicated, I am more content than I ever was because everyday i act instead of just being acted upon and it shows in all facettes of my life.
If you are rooted in a reality that you find fundamentally acceptable, that you are content with, you have a much better chance to endure the emotional storms. This is difficult and there is no guarantee. But it turns a non-existent emotional state into something that can be worked on, grappled with, and it is something that remains, regardless of how you feel in that very moment.
