I’m flipping back and forth between Disgaea 5 and Rogue Legacy for the switch.  Although I hear that Battletech got a bug fix patch for my PC, so that may end up distracting me from my other games.....

I personally thought that one part that aged pretty badly was that at the end Keaton’s character got to go back to his ‘80s era auto industry job in Detroit and the movie treated it like his work problems were over....

You say that like that isn’t the way things are now or that we will be worse off for Gamestop’s demise.
I don’t wish any particular ill toward the employees of Gamestop, but lets be real here. When a company has a location in pretty much every mall in America along with 1/4 of all the strip malls, then it *isn’t* a mom…

For letter #1. For what it is worth, I felt like my sex drive changed gears in my mid-twenties and I’ve been pretty happy about it.
For me, ages 14-25/26 was a time when sex was *always* on my mind. I don’t *think* I was obsessed, I was able to do other things and maintain non-sexual relationships with women, but it *wa…

Im betting that GameFreak saw the writing on the wall & decided that it was untenable to keep expanding the National Dex for another few gens.
The national dex in Sun & Moon had *807* entries, it’s already crazy.  This is a game whose main target demographic is 10 year olds.  Totodile isn’t *their* favorite.

I’m also…

I grew up taking guided tours of the Minnesota Zoo in this exact Monorail. It’s demise as a public attraction saddens me as the view of the Musk Ox has never been as good without it.
That said, this guy seems to be enjoying his purchase.....

Now now, I changed jobs 18 months ago and now earn 25% more. If I did that every month instead of at major life junctions, why in a couple years I would have quadrupled my income!
Everyone should just make more money.  You are kinda lazy if you don’t.  (Sarcasm)

The versions of him in various comics/cartoons I’ve seen for a while now has him with the body of an adult but the mind of a child + Solomon’s Wisdom. So he ends up acting like a really responsible, really idealistic Kid pretending to be a grown up and not immediately failing at it.
It ends up coming off as what…

You make a good point regarding travel.
I think the core of my thinking is that for many people, shared values and experiences often form the basis of relationships. You may come from different backgrounds, but you have enough in common to relate and then bond with one another. Most celebrities have money, influence,…

I kinda imagine that the daily experience of being a Hollywood star and being a “regular person” might be too different to make a relationship easy.
One of them goes to an office every day & does something, the other flies to Tunisia for 4 months & then does 2 months of press tours. How do they commiserate about their…

Its a less popular show, but I was always a fan of Dr. Tom from “Being Erica”.
His big focus with Erica seemed to be helping her to accept what had happened in her life without being defined by it. Which he did with magical timey-wimey 90s flashbacks.
Too bad his group therapy sessions were so dramatically disappointing.

If you are making Seattle money in rural Iowa you are probably way ahead. If you are making rural Iowa money in rural Iowa the cost of living is more or less a wash.
The one exception is that set-price consumer goods are a higher effective cost if you are making rural Iowa money. An Ipad costs as much in Seattle…

It is. Life would be better for some if they accept they are never going to be made right and hoping for it is going to make their lives worse.
It also led me to the insight that it doesn’t actually matter if the person who wronged you is alive or dead. *You* are the one that has to let it go.
I applied that to my own…

When I was younger I had a job where I moved between Dr. Offices all day long. I had about a dozen, and I would check in at 2-3 a day.
The biggest thing I took from it was how much culture affects your job. All the offices I checked in on did more or less the same kind of work, they had similar patients, and they all…

I have family that are angry at other relatives who have been dead for decades. If the dead relative’s name comes up these people will still rage at something done before I was born.

Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.

Try “The Garage” in New Brighton. They have always been very honest with me. They aren’t a cut-rate operation, but I’ve also never felt like they recommended any work that wasn’t needed.
They are a smaller operation, just one location, and the owner is there most days.

Well, we don’t really have any non-speculative info on what is going to be different about the new models. Right now we have lots of re-reporting on one New York Times article based on off the record discussions with suppliers.
Lots of people are reading all kinds of things into some scant info.  Personally, I’m…

I feel like this article loses it’s thread 3/4 of the way through. It starts out as a pretty good examination of how the cold-war helped inform Marvel Comics, then touches on how the characters moved on from the Cold-War, then turns into a weird digression on how comic-book time is weird in the real world.
Which is…
