If we're on minute 45 of what was intended to be a 15 minute meeting and you've still got questions I should be allowed to kill you.
And you get paid for this, huh
Kind of agree that this would have fit right in with the Kobe legacy of pretending that he was the best at things
Is that in Cleveland, too
Your parents got divorced, huh?
When I was a teenager I attended a service aimed at, well, teens that actually stuck with me. The abbreviated form was in the absence of everything else, what are you relying on to guide you? Turns out for me it wasn't God or anything, but it's a good question to chew on from time to time.
My folks were mostly trying church as a way to save the marriage so it's not like any of us were particularly committed. And that whole thing was plenty weird enough to seek answers elsewhere.
Honestly it was a very valuable morning. Learned not to trust anyone and that consequences don't exist. Really helped in the building of a foundation of a dysfunctional man.
Not even worth the vinyl it's pressed on
It was a one-two punch kinda Sunday morning. First, one of the adults tried to tell my mom I did something that I hadn't done. Shortly thereafter during the service, a man wept and everyone put their hands on him after he apologized for trying to kill the pastor. We started sleeping in.
Finally some good clean fun for my kids
Characters named like Phineas ramsbottom. This stupid little puerile shit that just needles at you the whole time and drags down the tone. Every time. Rockstar makes games I almost think are great but their whole deal just doesn't seem to be able to grow up.
You built all this great foundation then just farted it away. I was expecting like he fell in with a gang of outlaws or had gambling debts, something that a guy like Arthur knows about and can try to solve. But nope. Gotta do some goofy shit and let all the air out of the room.
But she begs because she just can't solve this problem. The big issue? Her brother fell in with a wacky religous cult who wear funny robes.
Like... why
For example: an old flame of Arthur's sends a letter because she needs help and has nowhere to turn. They have an exceptionally well written and well acted scene about how his life wasn't good enough for her until she needed a guy like him. It's fuckin great character stuff.
But what I find breaking the spell more than anything is that Rockstar just can't fuckin help themselves with their writing and characters. Where it's great, it's great. Then it'll take you out of it with something nonsensical or juvenile.
Yes I'm full up on cigarettes, could you please fucking grab the gold bar sitting next to them? Why is that rando shooting at me for just walking to the general store? And now I've got to run off, pay a bounty, then wait around until I'm allowed to buy a pack of gum.
Only a decade late to the party as usual, but I've been putting a lot of time into RDR2, a game I've bounced off of several times before. Like any Rockstar game, it's got brilliant stuff, but it always feels like it's fighting me on some level.
If you think that's illuminating just wait until you see this jangling set of keys I'm holding up
The media isnt stupid. They're doing this on purpose.
I'm sure they'll do that
What really fucks me off is people on the bus or the train doing a video call and holding their phone up. If you're gonna put me on screen, I should get to be involved in the conversation.
If it's got concentration camps like a duck, secret police like a duck, and concepts of a thousand year reich like a duck...
We need to enhance our internal comms relationship between business units to provide maximum opportunity to drive KPIs.
I want to die.
God damn work is fuckin fake, dude
Love a half hour meeting that goes to an hour with a second meeting needing to be booked to cover the original topic.
Imagine, if you will, a meeting with more than two participants that stays on topic and doesn't derail into irrelevant topics for the full duration.
Yeah I bet they'd like to walk things back.
I'm not above it.
Great way to burn your shitty friends necks when you're a teenager too
