Statute of limitations is why they’re getting off.

Agreed. But not impossible. Insignia got original Halo 2 Xbox Live servers back online. Most nights you can find a game easily with 20-40 people online during peak hours. It requires a soft mod and maybe 1-2 hours of set up to get online. If anyone could just turn on their old Xbox and play, I’m confident those numbers would be in the hundreds at least.

Allowing people to run private servers is an easy way to allow those that want to play to keep playing in an era where most games have some level of online functionality.

One of their ideas is allow private match/self hosted online services for any game that shuts down it’s servers.

It’s fun for what it is. It has a very positive community. Lower level players are always gifted high level armor and weapons from vets when they see them. If you do decide to play, you can do most of the game and quests solo. That’s how I did it and it felt more or less like a regular fallout game. You should do the events even though you’re not prepared for them. High level players will make it so you pretty much don’t have to do anything and that’s where you’ll get your highest level rewards.

The card perk system is different and overwhelming at first. Basically good some good builds and pick one or two that fit your play style. Then you’ll know what to focus on.

My buddy for me into it a few years ago. It was fun for what it was, but it’s not GOTY or anything.

Watched about the first half this morning before going to the store. Got to the point where the student of the year’s shirtless dad was lurking in the background and started getting interviewed. First, what a fucking weirdo. Gives off weird incest vibes.

My personal experience with DARE was fun when we were introduced in 5th grade. Got us away from normal class. I did win some essay contest on why drugs are bad mkay and got a frisbee which was cool. However I had to read the essay in front of the whole grade which I hated.

We got a tshirt for completing the program. I made it a cutoff at someone and made a point to rock it anytime I was trying a new drug in college.

That sucks but it’s not a dick move on your part. Was literally talking to a coworker who did that to a friend decades ago (he’s in his early 60s) and said he would basically shack up in everyone’s basement until they kicked him out. Sometimes weeks, sometimes months, living off others good will until none was left.

I never thought about this but this happens to me occasionally. I often put my arm under my head and pillow for support and comfort. Maybe once every couple weeks I’ll wake up and it’s numb or fully asleep.

I don’t have an answer but I’m 34, this has been happening my whole life, and I haven’t noticed any issues.

Nice try 9 out of 10 dentists. /s

I think I have both your problems solved. If money isn’t an issue the bureaucracy is a nuisance but not inhibiting as you can pay someone to file all the appropriate paperwork. The language barrier is even easier. I have been to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland and did not meet a single person that didn’t fluently speak English. Not saying they don’t exist, but operating in most any western European country is very easy as an English speaker. Also you’ll pick up the language over time. Immersion is the best way to learn a language, or so I hear.

Pennywise eating ass is a pretty funny image.

Just got done playing about 3 hours via game pass and it is quite fun.

It is much more a survival game than pokemon. You put your pokemon (called ‘Pals’) to work on what is essentially your farm. It is much more a survival game as you are always looking for resources and crafting the next thing for your homestead. I have yet to shoot a gun, currently rocking a spear, bow and arrow, pick axe (for mining), and axe (for chopping wood).

I have ventured off my base twice and you do come across a wide variety of creatures once you venture far enough and there are small towns, people, many creatures, and more materials the further out you traverse. There appears to be ‘bosses’ as there are marked high level creatures and even gangs that will occasionally raid your base.

I could see myself sinking a lot of time into it as it does take a bit to get your base running smoothly to generate the needed materials without too much manual work on your part.

You have a party of 5 creatures but can only have one out at a time. You start with another creature at your base working and as you level gain more slots for more creatures to work for you. It’s kinda funny because you basically beat the shit out of these creatures, capture them, and then put them to work at your base.

All in all I hope development continues to expand on this game as it’s got a solid foundation and I’m not generally someone attracted to survival type games. I’m looking forward to continuing to level up and see what the game has to offer.

I agree with you but there are more ethical ways to eat meat while also saving money. Last year my wife and I purchased 1/4 of an entire cow from a farm about 35 miles north of us (friends and family bought the other 3/4). This cow was responsibly raised, grass fed, on a small, local farm. We received 200 pounds of meat with probably a dozen different cuts of meat. This includes dozens of pounds of excellent steak and the meat is simply amazing. We will definitely be going this route moving forward as we averaged the price per pound to ~$4/lb which is far less than the local grocery.

I understand this isn’t possible for everyone as we also had to purchase a chest freezer which requires space but has made our grocery bill far smaller and the meat we are eating much better in many ways.

That’s really cool. I already foresee Americans intentionally breaking them and finding ways for people to get their phones stuck in there to be assholes and for internet likes.

What a great piece of storytelling. Those doors opening and seeing all those guns pointed at you. “Guess I’m going to have to commit genocide” was my first thought quickly followed by “oh no, wait, what’s happening!?”

A large factor is probably the increase of phone use. I’ve flown into a lot of shit looking at my phone.

Main floor is about 600 sq ft. I’d say 40% is carpeted. It’s a pretty normal carpet, not shag but not that super short stuff.

We actually went with a nicer one because we had just adopted a puppy and wanted one that wouldn’t smear shit all over the house in case the dog went inside. It was an irobot brand, it was about $500.

Does anyone feel these things suck? Not in a good way. I’ve had a hoover since i moved out after college 15 years ago. Dudes a beast. My wife wanted a robot we got maybe a year ago and it barely does it job at best. Constantly replacing parts, frequent disruptions, and got like 600 sq ft on our main floor to clean. Way too much work and when it does work it may get the top layer of dirt but it doesn’t feel clean. I can spend 20 min vacuuming the whole house with my regular vacuum and it feels and smells clean for several days. I hope these robots get better but I’m not a fan right now.

Let me try on this one because I feel you.

It’s tough to interact, I feel the same way with literally every person I meet.

Ask a question, ideally open ended, not yes or no.

“Hey this is my friend bigchungus”

You: hey, I’m a buddy of op from his gay porno days. How do you know op?

It incentives the other person to share a little about themselves. And then just be curious. They’ll ask you plenty of questions but the reality is everyone else knows way more about the world combined than you do. Be open, share, but pause and see what their reaction is.

I find most of the people I connect with are people I think I may have nothing in common with but the more I ask them questions the more I realize we are similar and it’s easier to open up to.

Also alcohol. Alcohol and drugs. But mainly the the first part.

I’ve never heard of those. They look just like the bombs from 64-era Zelda.
