note that the in-game photage was labelled pre-alpha. If that’s the pre-alpha level then I’m not horribly worried about the final gameplay.

This is making me really bummed that I can’t afford a PS4/PC update. Mirror’s Edge is in my top 5 games ever, and number 1 on my list of under-selling/performing games (Minish Cap is 3 and Amalur is 2). I was sort of hoping it wouldn’t look so great so I could reason my slowness in getting something to play it to…

I’m left handed and I don’t understand lefties that mouse with their left hand (I’m also a nerd that can type faster with just my left hand than you probably can with both hands). Obviously the priority should be the dexterity of the dick hand...I’d almost feel bad for righties if I didn’t have to grow up dealing with…

If it’s a local place that you care about, sure. If it’s a national chain? I don’t care. In fact, if you ask me to suggest something, I’m going to suggest the easiest thing for me and my friends to make. At Domino’s, for instance, I’d always try and steer people away from the artisan pizzas/pan pizzas, and from the…

I think every person should have to work 6 months as a retail cashier and 6 months in food service before they earn the right to work any other job. And they should have to wear a nametag that indicates this, so everyone that’s “passed” this test can feel free to show them how much of an asshole people can be.

Green Eggs and Ham is the best. In kindergarten there was a day when our parents came in and read our favorite book to the class. I grabbed it from my mom and I read it and did different voices for Sam and not-Sam and from that moment forward I was the smart kid in elementary school because I could read before first…

My favorite character is the minigame guy from WW. “Sploosh!” “Yay yay hooray...”

We recently got yelled at for having a pile of sticks and limbs that have fallen off of trees that we can’t cut down because while we have to maintain them, the trees and yard between the sidewalk and street are considered city property. So we moved them on to our empty shed foundation (behind a privacy fence). The…

I met my best friend at a college party. I was hanging out at a sort-of party with my other best friend and his sister/my ex and briefly met this chick, ran into her at a used game/CD store downtown a few weeks later and tried to hit on her. I’d give her rides and we’d get high. It took a few months before I realized…

Well lately I’ve been playing in Adventurer’s League, where luckily even though there are rules that we must adhere to my GM plays our campaign as lenient as he can “officially” allow - he allowed me to shatter molten glass constructs in the Talos campaign because if not, our entire party would have wiped (not that it…

I personally fall in a middle-ground: unless it’s a super-powerful spell, it’s just assumed you have the supply of components. Don’t keep track of arrows unless they’re special. You always have water and some crappy rations (yay prestidigitation as a cantrip!) or ink and a quill for your spellbook, but you’re not…

But I mean, it took me 2 sessions of 3.5 as a sorcerer to sit down and build a PF fighter in 20 minutes as everyone chatted and the GM recapped. And hell, I sat down with a pre-made wizard in 5e and I needed 0 introduction to mechanics. Obviously, I’m familiar with core DnD mechanics at that point, but still...I get…

Yeah, I actually learned today that the CG patrols the river. I should clarify that while I actually live just a few miles from the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri, neither are recreational boating rivers, and I’ve never actually been out on Lake Ozark, so my experience in life where I might SEE a CG vessel…

Lots of...non-american restaurants do that. They know that it’s easier to put the “tame” options out there for 95% of customers. When we order chinese, the menu items we get have a SPICY warning on the menu...we ask them to make them hotter, and it’s still not up to a level I would consider spicy at all. Just because…

Is that orange black and blue thing like, a Coast Guard color scheme? I ask because I live in St. Louis, which is about as far away as possible from a coast in the US.

Reminds me of a recent comic called Chrononauts. We start finding jets and sports cars and tanks buried away in pyramids and tombs and whatnot...long story short, we invent time travel suits that can transport anything in contact and one of the guys leads lives throughout history and hides away technology and weaponry…

I mean, it is a very specific kind of comedy. Not necessarily a comedy where you’re laughing out loud, but a comedy where you’re smiling and chuckling as it gets more absurd throughout. It’s very absurdist, anti-comedy comedy. It’s definitely not for most people.

Lots of HOAs have restrictions on boats/trailers/RVs/non-functional cars in driveways. Hell, some have restrictions as severe as “your car must be parked in your garage and the driveway is for guest parking and you better not invite more people over than can fit in your driveway because you sure as hell can’t park on…

My city has an ordinance against boats being stored. But trailers and RVs are fine - though in my Grandma’s neighboorhood about 2 miles away (which is weird on its own because their mailing address is my city, but her city services are provided by a neighboring city) the HOA only allows cars in the driveway, and they…

My aunt works at Build a Bear HQ and they actually have a room for kids. Books and toys and markers and a TV and whatnot. They also let you bring your dog to work so they’re not exactly the standard office.
