My version of this story happened in the gymnasium. My class, along with the students from three other classes, were all formed up as a choir and had just wrapped up practicing a song for the school's Christmas play. One kid let loose, and the whole assembly made a very hasty (and disorderly) retreat, leaving the poor guy standing in a puddle of his own vomit.

No posts here? I'll be first.
I tried the demo for a few hours last night and liked a lot of what I saw. I'm a fan of Ogre Battle, and it's nice to see that Atlus can at least use that series' DNA for something, even if they won't (or can't) put out another official game.
My biggest issue is that some of the screens feel too information dense. I had to sit a metre closer to my TV in order to read some of the menus and stat pages.
The story also looks like it's going to be very generic and predictable. That's not uncommon, but it is disappointing every time it happens.
There's a few other minor issues, like the lack of a "halt" command on the tactical map, or that the mapping of the cursor to the analog stick feels a bit off in certain menus.
I'm glad another game like this is being released. Symphony of War was my favourite game of 2022 and reminded me why I like this sort of game in the first place.
I just brought my toddler to the ER, and it is apparently a 14 hour wait to see a doctor.
I can't even muster up the energy to be angry. I just feel defeated.
Part of it is the pendulum of Canadian politics. The Liberals have been in power for a long time and many people in the "great Canadian middle" have swung over to the Conservative side. That makes the prospects of another Liberal government forming in the next election slim.
But also, yes, there are some people who hate Trudeau on principle. My holidays this year were exhausting.
I think their situation is somewhat akin to where Bethesda was c2012: they've just released the most talked‐about game of the year, a game that was a critical and commercial success despite not being of the general gaming zeitgeist.
I really hope they don't follow Bethesda's path.
When I was learning French I was told penser and croire were interchangeable in this context.
He sparked outrage by torching the GOP. You'll never believe what happened next
I've gotten the pop-up once or twice, but updating uBlock fixed that.
I have instead noticed a large decrease in quality, things like frozen images/pages and endless buffering. I don't know if all that is related, but it did start around the time YouTube started cracking down on ad blockers.
The most profoundly puzzling thing to me is their insistence that magic words will somehow make authorities back off.
Like, they believe that there is this grand conspiracy involving the Federal Reserve and maritime law and birth names and whatever else. And yet they also believe that the forces behind this conspiracy must acquiesce if you just invoke the right language.
Do they never consider that an entity powerful enough to do all that could also just ignore their demands? Like, even if the conspiracy is true, why would its perpetrators just give up because some random person told them to?
Don't be afraid to mess around with the class system and try out things beyond the default mono-elemental classes. There's no penalty for changing your class setup every so often, or even after every fight
Between my wife and me, we have Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Curiosity, DropOut, and Nebula for videos. I also have one paid Twitch subscription. We could probably stand to cancel one or two.
For music, I have Spotify and my wife has YouTube Music. We have different preferences in sorting and recommendations, and at this point either of us migrating to the other's preferred service would be more work than it's probably worth.
Well, there's the Flood and the Ten Plagues (particularly that tenth one) for starters.
Then there's the various war crimes committed by the Israelites at Jehovah's explicit instructions (e.g. the genocide of the Midianites in Numbers 31).
