Ok you called me out on a very specific flaw and consistent failure of mine! I have some weird wrong pronunciations they can lead then to wrong spelling and it has nothing to do with misunderstanding the context or whatever and just... my brain tends to read the shape of a word and that leads to problems if it isn't a word I hear often.

Thank you for your kindness and context and I think maybe that will help me not make the mistake in the future! At least after I play the game at least lol

Thank you so much! I will just dive into that after I finish my current game and not worry about needing established lore or backstop. Just started a quickie and unique game called Get even. Gameplay is kinda like the detective line of Detroit become human. Enjoying it so far.

I've been hearing about dues ex forever though and I'm ready and looking forward to being able to understand the pop culture references and conversations now. Thanks for the reassurance and confidence

***Edit: deux ex

So I have access to the ps plus catalog. I'm really excited they have disco elysium the final cut, and dues ex mankind divided

My brain has muddled these two awesome franchise pop culture knowledge where I feel like I'm more or less able to go into either blind and I wanna preserve that! The thing is it's not really clear to me for either title if I'd be playing a sequel (or something that is better enjoyed with prior context)

So I guess my question is for these two games, what should ideally be the order placement? Even if I just watch a yt essay on a previous game I don't have access to just to have some good groundwork context.

I also am curious what games you discovered that is available through similar subscriptions. Were you pleasantly surprised? Just meet average expectations?

VOLCOM!!!! Thank you that's the brand my mind was reaching for but couldn't remember. Great designs, cool to learn they work with local artists!

That backpack sounds cute

Dude at least pick a cool brand that has unique designs and art for each shirt like O'Neil, quicksilver, Roxy etc. Fuck I think even Hollister and clones had cite branded shirts.

Now it's a red box that says Supreme. And apparently is lucrative because their website is closed? I'm too stoned for this shit

"The agency claims authority to regulate everything from a power lawnmower's design," he wrote, "to the level of 'contact between trainers and whales at SeaWorld.'"

I fail to see anything wrong with either thing like.. is he just mad it is not the people who sell lawn mowers should decide what's safe?? Please please please don't tell me Americans are going to dip to this new level of cognitive dissonance

Here is the Opening Draft [01:32], which could serve as a trailer.

And his current project/upcoming video is the entire series of Power Rangers

I'm sorry. I've seen this so many times today and I can't stand it anymore.

I hate this article photo. What the fuck is that shit?? Gloveless fingers? Digit warmer? Turtlefinger sweater?

gestures to everything else I mean... we are fucking drowning in situations to care about.

that is some selective bullshit

Seriously. What this tells me is that 70+ people either didn't read the article or they just really have a thing about mixed gender sports. You quoted only the pathetic backpedalling lies he said to try to further justify his actions. BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST he said this (the man you are quoting, Sunderland, is the president)

The city-wide basketball league, Southwestern Ohio Basketball (SWOB), made the call because they believed that 11 to 12-year-old girls and boys competing against each other on the court could pose a liability risk leading to violence, even though the girls team had been winning 7-1 all season without incident.

IT IS WHY THEY WERE KICKED OUT.

It wasn’t until late January/early February that several teams from the 6th-grade division started traveling down to Kentucky to play their scheduled games, that it became apparent that the Next Level team was, in fact, a girls team.

You're telling me it took multiple games AND teams for them to become "apparent that it was a girls team " ??? And become a problem. But only until they got far enough because maybe they wouldn't and then SWOB could avoid PR problem all together.

this is a reminder to read the fucking article people

You might come up with a similar conclusion as me, or completely opposite. But OP is patently false and deceptive with their quote and definitive ruling on it, claiming the headline is deceptive! Fuck that.

WE NEEDED THIS IN 2015, It's too late now

Yeah sorry not your typical post here, I hope that's OK!

I'm thinking of getting this for my (14)nephew and my brother to play together. He used to play DND in the 80s and this game really sounds like it tries to honor a lot of the culture and whatnot of the games.

But... I haven't played anything like either of those and my brother is extremely busy with little free time and my nephew doesn't have as much free time as the average kid.

Is this a game that could still be enjoyable in small doses? Does it get overwhelming or stressful fast for most people who don't play games nearly as long or as intense as this? For context they play a lot of match style games but my brother loved the original assasians creed.

And if not or for some reason you have another suggestion I'd love to hear it because at the very least this game sounds good to me and I'm interested in what other games it's fans like that I could also check out. :)

This is my first celeb death that is surreal and weird and just generally feels wrong like this person should always exist in the background. I really hope that his story brings some lessons and guidance for others. And i hope that those who knew and loved Matthew find a soothing peace in the coming days and months.

Wholesome dirty talk aww

Ya'll jealous of my black 08 prismacolor fine line marker and pilot precise v7 rt.

Okay what the fuck is that last one? Why does it sound like a sports car marketed to males 14-26?

Is there a really popular product, technique, or otherwise viral trend that you tried and it fell short somehow?

What was it, what were your expectations, and what was the result?

(LOL no shame, totally posting this in the makeup community if I can find it)

I love how far against mainstream Radcliff has gone post HP. And this is just delightful regardless

What is an old show you think is great and really doesn't get mentioned enough? Why should someone watch it?

Hope mildly witchy stuff qualifies. At least while things start gaining momentum. I have a lot of those!
