Sort-of PS3 Shadow of the Colossus, but the physics engine gives me heart palpitations. Wondering if I should switch to the remaster someday, if that improves anything…

Also, Daemon X Machina on PC, which is fun, but also too story-lite for my preferences.

Obviously bad form, but anyone wanna bet it's something still to do with Crowdstrike on some of the relevant processing servers?

For what it's worth, I have been a convert from naive to aware for a couple years now. I used to like to think naive == UTC, but when data comes from unverifiable sources, you can't know that for certain...

After extended sessions of any of the Telltale adventures (Walking Dead, etc), I would spend about 10 minutes post-game with the sense that real-life conversations were like, scripted, and I was navigating by selecting the best option.

Arguably, not a wrong assessment of life, but it feels really gamified when affected

Earl Grey with honey and oat milk. Orange Pekoe/English Breakfast with sweetener and oat milk. Chai with milk. Or a straight herbal tea

Dope. For what it’s worth, good luck with the bureaucracy

They’re making a reference to the Canadian characters of South Park

Agreed. Straightforward, but classy

I have a personal run of thumb. It's got a thousand and one exceptions, but seems to work a good amount of the time, for what it's worth.

Hard rock songs tend to have guitar-lite verses. As in, the verse seems to often feature just the bass and drums as instrumentation, or the guitar doing minimal legwork (read: a start-stop non-riff, or sometimes acoustic noodling), before exploding into existence for a powerful (pre-)chorus.

On the other hand, metal tends to be guitar-forward most of the time. The verse/chorus divide is usually heralded by switching riffs, or, in the case of symphonic and folk subgenres, the introduction of other instruments besides guitar.

Yeah, I've implemented OTP before, and I can think of no way this could be a surveillance move. If they required you use their app because they use a custom solution, sure, maybe, but they're OTP is currently entirely standard, so you can use a plethora of app (or roll your own in about 14 lines of Python)

That which you fall in love as a teenager, innit?

No disrespect to either artist, but I always find it funny whenever this meme-format is aimed at anyone other than the king of "YEAH!"'s...
