It's been a thing in the past couple of games, though in those games it was maybe a loading screen here or there.

Nothing ever this blatant or widespread. Granted I'd also be shocked if some of the map designs weren't AI genned, nor the campaign's writing.

Honestly my only concern beyond price was controller features, since from initial look it seemed that finger tracking from the Index was gone.

Though that's staying. Only other possible downside I can see is price, which I have no clue what it'll be.

Money.

It's funny since Marty was only ever a co-composer with Bungie. Never a developer or, at least to my knowledge, a decision maker in the broader context of the company.

Even if it was ruled illegal, I'm glad in hindsight he got pushed out right before Destiny launched.

Honestly HP turned me off from reading as a kid once I hit book 5. It was so droning and plodding and from what I remember, filled with needless padding.

Thank God I never really liked the universe much.

Problem is it also takes fuckloads of money in the US.

Doubly so since the mainstream parties would gang up against you.

There's unironically only one independent party that has any traction, and funny enough it's in the closest state to Canada culturally (Vermont).

My only assumption is that they're going to overturn Obgerfell with a less legally and morally shitty case.

Though the fact that it's still here for the time being is an unquestionable win.

Yes.
Yes they did

I almost went that route since I could get first class one way, private cabin the other for the same price as flying.

But the time is about the same as if I drove, and it dumps me downtown instead of anywhere near O'Hare.

Same.

Though at this point shit's just FUBAR, especially since I'm in the US.

That also said, you're not even halfway through your life expectancy. There's still tons to look forward to.

My DMs are also always open if you ever want someone to talk to more 1-1

From personal experience, it's most frequently both parties having no clue what to say and just defaulting to saying nothing lmao.

That's how I am, especially after I run out of things to talk about.

Maybe skip the cigarette, but don't need to tackle everything everywhere all at once.

Focus on some of it, in my experience doing that tends to make the other stuff fall into place a lot easier.

My plan rn is that if there isn't movement, I'm going to look at cancelling my flight and just pay to drive it.

Unfortunately parking is $45 a night so that's probably more expensive than my flights, since I'd need at least a tank of gas each way, too.

Might just face-tank it, regardless.

In general, tbh.

And NGL I'd probably ban the "easy access" sports betting though apps, too. Make it so you actually have to go to a dedicated spot to put bets down.

It won't happen because it prints money, but it really should.

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖

Hint. Fucking. Hint.

Live updates: US voters head to the polls in first general election since Trump's return to power One year after Donald Trump retook the presidency, 2025 Election Day includes closely watched races for New York City mayor, New Jersey governor and California's Proposition 50.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students.

He's also illegally holding up food assistance programs (against court orders now), too. Which is funny since I'm pretty sure most adults on SNAP lean Red. Unfortunately court orders are only suggestions since they don't have an enforcement mechanism, especially for a Republican.

Never been so glad I have zero interest in an IP.

Now here's hoping Battlefield doesn't pull some dumb shit beyond being owned by the Saudis starting FY 27.

This fox got WAY more bunny than he bargained for!

You been doing studies specifically on that?

Might be worth it to train on it if you're not where you wanna be.

I can say a few things:

1. I genuinely think you're being a bit too hard on yourself. All of my pieces from you with more muscly peeps genuinely don't look unappealing, or even particularly different to other artists.

2. Comparison is the thief of joy, I get doing it, but it's bad for your health

On the one hand, I'm confident.

On the other hand I was also confident for President, and there's no telling if it'll be rat-fucked and/or people are so confident they stay home.

On the third hand, if Mamdani wins, how quick will Trump invade NYC?

Don't care that much about baseball, but the Jays.

Hell yeah, brother.

I also love how they leave out the fact that DLCs exist and are still pretty commonplace, which would make games cost roughly 100 (IIRC Cross Worlds on current gen is 90 with DLC, ZA on S2 is 100 after DLC).

And the live service model also prints money, even with free DLC drops.

Good news is the game runs decent

Tutorial is really long and annoying. But the game opens up a lot after.

Pretty enjoyable overall, assuming graphical fidelity isn't an end-all

something something shuttlecock
