Wow, that sounds awesome. Based on all that, the devs seem solid, I think I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the response!

The USA was founded to avoid tariffs on imported goods imposed by a monarch. Trump just took a gross big mac dump on your desire for historical consistency, and then gold-plated it.

This looks pretty amazing, but it also looks huge, and for a game this big I would need assurances that I won’t lose my progress if it leaves early access. Have the devs said anything about their completion timeline? I’ve never played anything in early access, because I frankly don’t trust devs to respect my time. Thoughts?

That does help explain the strangeness of the whole thing, thanks for sharing. Sounds like things were pretty tough for you, so I’m sorry for that.

It sounds like he is a bit oversexualized (not sure if that’s the right term), but it doesn’t seem like it’s anything too out of the ordinary for someone figuring themselves out. Many of us probably pushed things a bit too far when we were little, I certainly didn’t understand how uncomfortable it made people for me to run around the house naked when I was young. But we all test boundaries like that when we’re growing up, and usually the adults around us help us find the right boundaries, not stretch them.

So yeah, with that new context, giving a fleshlight to her 18 year old son is very odd, and does raise some red flags. Sounds like you made the right call cutting things off.

I’d be super curious to hear the context if you’re willing/able to share, but it all depends on the relationship between the mother and son. It strikes me as a bit weird and abnormal, and certainly embarrassing, but if you normally talk about sex in an open and healthy way with her, then this might not be as weird as it seems. Parents know their kids play with themselves, and it’s usually healthier to be open about it than to stigmatize it, but actively buying this kind of thing for her son is a bit much in my opinion…

One day, everyone will have always been against this.

Fully agree with all of this. I really struggled to get through the first season, but when they unceremoniously replaced the actors I had just started getting used to—with actors that barely look any older—I threw up my hands and gave up. For some reason I took it personally, since I felt like the two actors they aged up and replaced were the only interesting people in the show. I have absolutely no interest in the story.

Ha! I want those two in a scene together.

That's what I love about Rygel. His character arc is increeedibly slow and steady. That fucker stays true to himself, but still grows a bit. Kind of like Londo.

Damn, that looks awesome. I’ve got a big rind-on pork belly in the freezer waiting for a good recipe. How’d you prep that?

That’s Dominar Rygel XVI from Farscape (my favorite sci-fi show hands down), which was co-produced by the Jim Henson Company. So yup, a Jim Henson puppet but not a muppet.

I love the hot springs in Ghost of Tsushima.
