Honestly it was just a good game. I saw it attracting both Potterheads and non-Potterheads. (I would not consider myself a Potterhead).

Does it have a bunch of replay value? Not really (neither do a lot of games). But man, that initial playthrough was just really good. It also looks like I clocked 113 hours on the game, so that's a pretty decent return to me.

Also, despite the source material and the author, it had a lot of very inclusive elements, which were a nice touch.

The original comment said they took their family to Burger King and then you made up that they had it delivered and that was why it cost what it did.

I'm not sure why you decided to make that up when it didn't fit the comment, nor why you expected a full itemized list in a copy to price compare against, but ok.

omg.... but..but.. I.. I remember the logo... changing.... oh god.

Berenstein is classic though.

I know some landlords in a nice area. They didn't raise rent on their renters because they were nice folks. Kept the house around $800 for them.

The renters died and they wanted to re-rent, so they looked at the prices in the area and set rent at $1200+.

Note: the $800/month paid all of the bills, upkeep, plus some to pocket. So now it's $400+ in their pockets. It's just price gouging at this point.

Has South Korea moved on from Internet Explorer for their banking yet?

Well, NPR did an entire article of 20 protest songs that came out in 2020. Looks like they might have made a Spotify playlist of them at one point too.

Here are 30 protest albums that came out in the first half of 2022

Here are 50 protest songs from 2023.

These are just results from pretty simple Google searches. 'protest songs year'.

At least do it outside or you'll get blood on the carpet.

Well, they ruled that he had no history of being a conscientious objector and did not put any previous effort into spreading his claimed ideology that would point to a history of it. One of the findings was that he didn't want to join the military because the 'orders were unfair.' PUBG was a small part of the argument that he was not as against war and violence as he claimed to be, but the article is on Kotaku, so they know their audience to get clicks.

To my knowledge, the current law is that if you say you're a conscientious objector, the alternative to military conscription is to work in a prison or correctional facility for 36 months. Getting the previous punishment of 18 months in prison is at least a shorter amount of time.

I wonder if he went to court to get the previous alternative of 18 months in jail over the 36 months of work. At least it's a shorter amount of your life.

Context clues. Scorch is usually a temperature word, not a spicy food word.

I also went to a public school. Kids were definitely singled out for the brands and perceived value of the clothes they wore. There was definitely a pressure to keep up with the latest trends and styles, including those at other schools around the city.

My friends all call it Valheim, but with cute fluffy animals.

The ability to customize difficulty settings is also a big hit.

I pretend to be an elven paladin regularly. I'm not going to become an elven paladin.
