Three Rounds. Zero Points.

Seems like the MSM has realised that they can get revenue for reporting negatively on Biden, no matter how minuscule the story is. Meanwhile Trump has been a maniac from day one, so his senile ramblings aren’t as much of a hot topic, and go unreported. Screw democracy, there is money to be made from hate.

What I’m reading is that Black and Asian women can only be attractive when they conform to western beauty standards: petite features, small frames, perfect proportions.

Considering that some games these days use the likenesses of actual people to create their characters, it disgusts me that some random guy out there gets to be the deciding voice on beauty.

He seems to be pretty hung up on that one guys girlfriend though…

Why not?

Why is the default response for “nobody even knows I exist” to curl up in a ball and bitch about it on the Internet?

If there is nothing holding you back, then you can do anything you want. What do you have to lose if you feel like you have nothing?

And if your response is that you don’t have the motivation or mindset, or you can’t bring yourself to care… buddy, that’s a mental health issue, and there are people who’s job it is to help people experiencing the same things.

Being fit does not mean being ‘gym bro’. I am 34 and obese. I am actively dieting and working out in order to lose weight, not because I want to be attractive or live forever, but because doing basic daily tasks was hell. I existed in a world where casually walking 10 minutes to work meant I was so warm and sweaty that I needed to shower. I could not squat or kneel down to pick things up or my knees would burn with pain. I was not healthy. My weight caused me to snore, making me more tired. I was walking around like a geriatric at the age of 32.

You don’t have to be a fitness guru who eats kale and chugs protein shakes to be healthy, but the giving up entirely is 100% more miserable than having basic mobility. And it’s a lot harder to come back from when you’re too heavy to work out to your full capacity.

Cool. So which pre-ordered, $100+ edition of the game do I need to purchase specifically from Target in order to get access to this section of gameplay? Sure hope there’s a digital art book (aka, a pdf slapped together by an intern) thrown in at only the highest tier.

The game looks beautiful, but Ubisoft deserves to rot for still pushing this sort of thing.

Strangely, yes.

All on board until the suggestion to switch to Apple, immediately after telling the reader not to jump from one big company to another. I am an Apple user, but I also trust them about as far as I could throw them. They will 1000% become as bad as Google if everyone switches over. They are already a walled garden that wants to keep you all to itself.

I was hoping for a more detailed list of things to change from and to. Life hacker posted an article to this effect:

But their alternatives are mostly Apple, Windows, or Facebook offerings. Kind of defeats the purpose I think.

That’s a lot of characters with a wide range of relevance to the Borderlands story. From Moxxi, all the way to… Atlas?

Can’t wait to see Borderlands bosses Krom and Knoxx on the big screen looking nothing like their in game counterparts.

And don’t even get me started on my main man Larry! Ooh! All the fun times I remember with… Larry…

Publishers: But the NEXT microtransaction-riddled live service looter shooter with a roadmap to completion years after release is sure to be the hit we’re looking for! Ignore every single proven failure! We will make this the future of gaming if it kills us!

Having watched the premiere of Acolyte, I am not convinced. They jumped 100 years into the past, and everything feels exactly like “present” Star Wars.

There’s a Jedi. There’s a Cantina scene. There’s an orange sabre to validate Rey’s sabre. There’s Coruscant, looking pretty much as it will in 100 years from now. There’s a wookie.

It all felt very same-y. Aesthetically, if Mando walked into the scene, he wouldn’t be out of place. Which is weird.

I get that it’s in the ‘Canon’, but when a character that lives a century before the trilogies are set referenced R2 units, it sent me on a spiral down wookiepedia. It would be like someone today talking about driving their T-Model Ford. Did the droid company really only release 3 more R series droid between now and when Luke buys R2 from the Jawas?

Acolyte is a fun story, but I don’t think the High Republic is as revolutionary as they claim. I guess it at least separates us chronologically from the Skywalkers… for now.

My first thought was Brain Age. But he refuses to hold the ds like a book as the game requests, hence his look of concentrated concern.
