I’m just saying, but both Stardew Valley and Darkest Dungeon begin with a dying male relative giving you a house in the country and revealing that they lived life differently than you thought they had.

It also badly contributed to what I found to be the biggest problem with the game - it assumed I had bought into the idea of being the inquisitor without ever giving my character a compelling personal reason to accept ownership of the movement.

This is a simple, common sense solution and frankly I don’t know why it wasn’t proposed sooner.

I know this objectively but am a grumpy old man.

I totally get caring about esports teams in general! I was just expressing some confusion about feeling real investment in ANY sport team that’s been playing official matches for two and a half weeks.

How do any of the teams have hardcore fans at this point? Like, this whoooole thing has been going on for less than a month. If I’m reading the match schedule correctly the game described in the article was the fifth match the Dragons ever played.

Seriously, if you have what you think is a kind of flirty relationship with a woman there are SUCH EASY TO READ CUES on whether or not she’s interested in you. And when you misinterpret something (because seriously nobody’s perfect) just accept it with non-threatening body language (relaxed posture, don’t loom, no…

At least the spirit of the onion is still alive though.

I have been waiting SO IMPATIENTLY for this. Finally!!

I’ve long appreciated that the Dishonored games randomize their safe codes, forcing you to actually go look at the clues in game in order to access them.

Have your tried turning to them with an expression of wide-eyed delight and saying “They got rid of Trump!?”

Transformer explosions look and sound like the preliminary bombardment of an alien invasion.

This makes it a lot clearer, thank you. I think I was getting too hung up on the “mid” in front of the thirties and not listening properly to the broader conversation.
