@Slatzism Back in my waitressing days a barkeeper colleague (not partner) whom I didn't much like and who didn't much like me still remembered for the entire 4 years we worked together that I can't have grapefruit, and he made sure every single new member of staff knew and remembered.
@GreatCheshire The characters are bland, the story uninspired and the emotional investment required of the player near zero. It's not a bad game, but it's not a good game either.
@jeeyonshim You can turn the lights on and off. It's not that much of a stretch.
At least according to my cat, who is giving out to me because it's raining...
@davidgaider Ok, hear me out: 3rd person perspective. If I have to stare at an ass for hours on end, I might as well enjoy the view.
Male Shep for me.
1st person perspective games: I play as female because I can identify. I see the world through "my" (their) eyes.
@ct_degroot It's not always easy to tell. I've been home sick for the last 9 days. Tested negative daily. Used 3 different brands of test.
Today, when I feel like my symptoms are easing up at last, I'm suddenly positive.
A friend just died.
My heart is broken.
His kids and my partner were with him when he passed. I'm home with Covid, sobbing and coughing uncontrollably.
@zenpundit@Schwarzenegger Just one Krampus?
We'd get up to 12 of them at once.
For 2 kids in the house.
Our entire local hockey team dressed up every winter to scare the kids of their friends.
I still get the chills when I hear cow bells in winter.
@edtwomey@chris_sanders Not true. My Kiwi friend had tears in his eyes and kept mumbling "not like this".
Sadly that's exactly what we all know to expect from Barnes by now. It's not fair on either team, the All Blacks don't need handouts.
@johncusack Honestly, I admire your patience. I get a headache from just reading all the calls for genocide. Don't think I'd have it in me to repeatedly explain so even the dumbest will get it.
You have the patience of a Saint on tranquillisers.
@mandalore1228 A friend of mine once asked the cashier for the price of a box of condoms. Then he returned the box to the shelf and picked up clear film, rubber bands, and lube. The look on her face was priceless.
Reminds me of a 35 year old English acquaintance of mine. Went to an elite school (but won't tell me which one). Said he was taught "how to run an empire"
If you want an idea about the ethnocentrism in the West, this is a real quote from Winston Churchill to the Peel Commission in 1937 referring to Palestinians as a "dog in a manger"
