All Summer in a Day isn’t necessarily scary, but reading it in 6th grade felt like a real eye opener on just how evil people can be, especially when they don’t even understand that they are.

Two weeks from now marks a year since my last drink. Last night I had a dream in which I had one and instantly felt regret knowing I was so close. But it was a dream, and I’m not drinking today.

Dad,

What was your favorite DnD character you played growing up?

What was your favorite video game?

What was the name of that 90’s hentai vhs you offered that I didn’t take?

What were you running from by drinking?

Oh gosh this reminds me of Edward Gettier and the damage he has done to the definition of knowledge.

First time I’ve seen the word ignominy. That’s a good one!

What I believe Wildbus8979 is implying is trying to get the person they responded to to understand is “if cops are this bad outside the US, and US cops are worse, then yes US cops can be that bad.” Could they have clarified or spelled that out more? Sure. Could you have thought out your understanding of their words a little more than your initial reaction that they weren’t discussing the US? Sure.

On the one hand, you’re right that the market for micro transaction laden multiplayer games is much larger than single player games. On the other hand, the market for people who want single player games is still very large. You showed that yourself mentioning Rockstar games and Harry Potter.

So while many publishers want a piece of that larger pie, every publisher trying for it just leads to over saturation and greater odds that a game will fail entirely. So there is still incentive for publishers to release large single player games even if the pie is smaller since there may be less competition making it easier to stand out. And what the article is saying is that, within that pie, one way to stand out is to avoid micro transactions. And since it’s discussing single player games specifically, I don’t see a lot of relevance for bringing up multiplayer games that exist in a different part of the gaming world.

KCD2 is exactly like KCD1 with a few more years of development refining and in some cases expanding the rpg systems, a new map, and a continuation of the story. It feels the same, just a little nicer. In other words, it’s a perfect sequel.

The only fault I have with it is that Henry starts the game bad to mediocre at most things instead of useless, and that beginning stage is my favorite to go through and out of. But being a sequel I can excuse it pretty easily.

I agree wholeheartedly. The book and movies are just vehicles for delivering nostalgic references, but while in the book 80% of those references were just listing off one thing after another, in the movie I could see and hear them, which makes it much better for that nostalgia.

What’s wrong with the visuals? I rewatched my DVD a few months ago and was surprised how good it looked. The field of ice structures crashing into each other in the last third kind of blew my mind in fact!

Starting and quitting have made my life better at different points, so I was curious. Edibles are super nice since there’s no throat irritation, but I do really enjoy the finer control over how high one gets that smoking gives. Vaping is a pretty good in-between.

Starting or quitting the marijuana?
