Exactly. There’s no “unless” in the rules of firearms. 1) Every gun is loaded. 2) Never point a gun at anything you aren’t willing to destroy. 3) Never put your finger on the trigger until you’re ready to fire.

No disagreement here.

Yeah, that really was the best innovation of that game. Sad that the rest of the game was so blah.

I didn’t like the character much, but I LOVED his aesthetic. I especially liked his super goggles that gave him eye beams in later comics, after this saga. You’re right. Kids are stupid, ourselves as kids included.

I hear you - I’ve always felt the expansions whose plot was focused on a faction war were almost all weaker because of it. All too often, one faction becomes “bad” and the other “good” by default, and when that doesn’t happen the faction conflict becomes almost an afterthought. But then again, I always thought putting…

That’s been my experience as well, and it’s sad that so many people are all too willing to go after people on this point.  I feel like it’s also a very gendered thing - women catch far more shit for saying they don’t want kids than men do, even though regardless of gender it’s a perfectly valid preference.  No matter…

The Doc is absolutely right UDN - if she wants kids and you don’t, that relationship is never gonna work. No one needs to be at fault, no one needs to be wrong, but this isn’t a problem that you can fix unless one of you changes your mind.

Props to JJ for using his platform to call this out.  Kealia deserves notoriety and recognition for her accomplishments, not to be treated like an accessory to her fiancé.

I, too, loved the ending of FFX.  Then they had to go and make X-2, which totally undercut the power of the ending.  It’s why I think I put XV ahead of it in my list.  Well, that and because of the scene with Tidus and Yuna laughing.

You’re definitely not alone. In fact, I feel that, overall, the majority of players appreciated the graphical style of Diablo 3. I do remember though when the first screenshots came out, and one of them had a waterfall with a rainbow from the spray. It was funny watching people lose their shit about rainbows not…

That’s a good point, too.  If you’re someone who is still very much into the “single lifestyle” and is looking for someone else who is the same, that’s gonna conflict with the stability required for good parenthood.

Yeah, that definitely rubbed me the wrong way, too. I want to be charitable, because as Ugh points out it’s definitely a thing that can happen, but combined with the unspecified “religious aspect,” and the lack of detail regarding what triggered the breakup, I’m not sure there’s really enough of a full picture here…

Honestly, I can see the “no kids” one as at least understandable, although maybe not in this case since LW2 said he wants to have kids. Especially if your (potential) romantic partner is the primary caregiver, but even if they’re not, having children takes an immense amount of time and effort. Being in a relationship…

Is there some reason no one seems to consider that she might be trolling? Because those tweets sound a lot like the kind of thing I’d hear from someone who’s trolling.

100% agree about the Star Trek mod.  It’s one of my favorite ways to play Stellaris now.

Fortunately Köln isn’t far from where I live (Saarbrücken), at least not by my standards, so I’ve been several times. Never during Karneval, though; I tried to convince some of my friends to join me this past winter but our plans never came to fruition.

Oh, I understand now.  I remember when In-n-Out first moved into Austin, and everyone was losing their minds, but meanwhile I just went to P. Terry’s instead.

They absolutely do. You just have to ask them for it; one of my old roommates would always order them that way. The Whataburger comes with mustard on it by default, but you can have them hold that and add mayo if you want. It’s possible the location you went to was out of it for some reason, though.

So I’ve been strongly considering returning to FF XIV with the latest expansion, especially given the class changes (which I’m generally positive about, since I tend to play tanks/melee dps). However, I haven’t really played since before Stormblood, and what I want to do is get into Dark Knight. My main is a level 60…

Oh.  My.  That is...a lot of Illithid.  Time to go get my squid-killin’ spear.
