Per the twitch payment leak, he made $5M+ in 2 years. Unless his living standard is insane, he’s set for life. Like most celebrities, I suspect the real question will be if he can stand a life without an audience.

I had to check - you’re correct. According to English grammatical rules governing the order of adjectives, quality/opinions “weird” comes before proper adjectives “Christian.”

Having already read The Brothers Karamazov, I feel like I don’t really need to further explore the theme here, the same way I don’t need to repeatedly take a claw hammer to my sternum.

Many countries just define “vegetarian” differently - exceptions of honey, dairy, and eggs seem common. Asian cuisines frequently don’t include seafood in the restrictions - a shellfish miso stew could be served as a vegetarian option, and a distinction would be drawn between ‘vegetarian’ versus ‘buddhist.

Halloween tradition here: kids get candy, parents get jello shots. The current favorite is good ginger beer, Vodka, lime juice (2:1:.25). Bloom the gelatin in the ginger beer, maybe add some fresh squeezed ginger juice if you like it face-melting, add the rest and chill.

yep: “Io” is a proper noun, not an acronym.

Old JRPGs are my vacation/travel activities. Nice on a long flight, not time sensitive so I can play and pause for meetings or dinner, and available on portable systems (used to carry a vita, now a switch) so perfect when i’m travelling with carry-on only.

Albanese 12 Flavor Sour Gummi Bears belong on the list, and are superior to the Haribo. The Haribo are just the regular bears with the sour-sugar coating; the Albanese could have the sour coating removed entirely and would still be sour for as long as they take to dissolve.

My wife used to work for a certain candy

Having tried both pirate and legit ‘classic’ versions of my choice MMORPGs with old guildmates...the problem for us older gamers isn’t quite so much that we want the social/difficulty/grind of the old games, but more that we want the kind of free time we had back when we could play those games. 40-60 hours a week free

While it is turn-based strategy on a grid, I wouldn’t describe it as similar to Fire Emblem or other Tactical RPG (FF Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Advance Wars, Disgaea, etc). There’s no paper-rock-scissors element to combat, fairly limited rpg mechanics, and the strategy involved is much more position-oriented ala

I want a life of lasers, mad science, intrigue, danger

The only way Lovecraftian horror can surprise us these days is if it wriggles it’s tentacles into some other genre and lurks just underneath the surface.

Wait...does this mean The Joker is a Time Lord?

Or, to make it more of a manichaeistic duality: D.Va not ‘Diva’ but ‘Deva’, hindu divinity.

Drop down to lowest World Tier and the weekly HVTs are easy to solo - just takes a little extra intel farming. I got tired of LFG for it.
The shields spiked my interest, got me playing for a month to finish content I never did, doing some dailies to farm up a classified set into a working build, then there was a global

Thanks for this. Planning to visit Japan next year, and mostly staying at smaller hotels with reviewed owners (my wife is very tattooed, so doing our research on places that are more accepting) and we know to pack gifts, but we’re planning to splurge on an onsen ryokan in Hakone with private baths and weren’t sure the

My thoughts exactly. Why is a WH40k 4X game limited to 1 planet? Old-school Imperium Galactica would be great for a modern remake with WH40k motif - turn-based 4X management with RTS-like battles.

I think someone actually made a Stellaris conversion mod to turn it into WH40k.  Think I’ll go download that presently.

Vault 76 was the ‘real’ vault, where people weren’t subject to any experimentation. So yea, looks like a new Fallout.

rice stew...so, risotto omurice? I’d try that.
Just about any rice leftovers in my house wind up as omurice. Thai curry and jasmine rice, Aloo Palak or Murgh Makhani and basmati, etc. Frying rice, adding vegetables, mixing the remains of leftovers (that are usually more sauce than protein), and wrapping in an omelet is
