I loved it, and it was one of the first to introduce open world PVE events that anyone could jump into. I know that stuff is common now, but back then I remember being blown away the first time a rift opened and a bunch of us random players ran over to close it.

Seriously though, he ought to want to go play somewhere else. Who wants to play for their father? The extra shit from other players is just a small part of why that would suck.

Even without the sexual abuse, no one should be subjected to the emotional abuse that passes for coaching under Karolyi, or frankly, a whole lot of coaches.

And maybe guys could just fight at their actual weights, instead of pretending they weigh 20 pounds less to get into a different weight class.

I’ll have to tell my wife that we’re living in some sort of temporal rift where she didn’t message me despite my average-40-year-old guy profile picture 10 years ago. Thanks for letting me know that never happened.

Wow, I am most impressed by his ability to spend hours every day working at his job. I can’t imagine the dedication it must take to show up for work everyday. What a hero.

Every time I hear about people complaining about the pressures of being a professional gamer, I’m tempted to “welcome to life”. What’s that? You had to sit in your apartment and practice Overwatch for hours everyday? I’m sure that guy working a double to keep his autistic kid in a treatment program feels bad for you.

Lo…

Not doing what they expect you to do can be a good strategy. Unless of course, what they expect you to do is something you are very good at, and the alternatives are much worse.

Apparently random Americans aren’t as tolerant of me being an asshole as my drunken friends. Who knew?

One of the most compelling things about PVP on the MUD I used to play on back in the 90's was the fact that if you were pkilled, the killer had the option to take anything/everything off your corpse. Getting “full looted” was a very real possibility.

The element of actually having a significant stake at risk in PVP was…

I’m pretty sure the rule says you have to include minority candidates for new hires, not that you have to have once upon a time hired a minority.

Your estimation of “nationwide exposure” might be a bit off if you think that whatever token candidates they pretend they considered have benefited in the least.

The only thing I’m waiting for is Lonzo to grow a pair and tell the old man to shut the fuck up about his gig. But I’m not holding my breath while I’m waiting.

If you actually played games or knew the history of the industry, you would recognize that nearly every evil in the industry is a result of digital distribution and required internet connections.

At least the integrated heart rate/blood pressure monitor will helpfully let first responders know that you’re already dead from the tablet fragments embedded in your face from the airbag deployment.

It shouldn’t cause an instant loss. Instead it should introduce a new civ, with advanced tech and Terminator like killing machines and have to defeat you like any other civ. While it is active, no victory condition can be met until the AI civ is eradicated, so you can’t avoid the machines by continuing to develop…

If you’re going to low-ball them, don’t even bother calling, because their ratty and rusty old Jeep is VERY RARE.

He could easily get his GED (which is actually a very difficult test), and restore eligibility. Especially if he gets the GED prior to when he would have graduated anyways.

I realize that, but the year after that when you want to sign him for real, if he’s pissed about it he can tell you to go fuck yourself and go sign wherever he wants.

Unless he’s pissed that they franchised him, and he chooses to walk.
