Everything you have on your ship can be lost, including loot and resources gathered. Its not truly yours until you cash it in. Cosmetics, gold and doubloons cannot be stolen.

In a play session, you get loot while out at Sea, exploring islands, etc. and need to bring it to any one of the outposts on the map (usually at most 5-10 minutes away from any one point) to sell. Once you sell it, the XP + gold you gain from the loot is permanent and cannot be taken away. Before that, though, it’s…

October surprise, or October hoax?

That’s what the con may be banking on, actually.  Have the governor (or mayor of LA) say oh hell no rather than pulling the plug.  Probably due to contracts, insurance, etc. 

retailers have to figure out a way to prevent that, though they probably don’t care.

The hilarious thing is - we don’t. Hell, even Fandango has a much better system for this when pre-sale movie tickets go live for major film releases. I remember when Avengers: Endgame pre-sale tickets became available; if you wanted to buy online from Fandango you were locked into a “first-come-first-serve”…

That always is the issue, but I will say that this is the only time where every retailer has had a 1 per customer limitation.

Right? I mean, why doesn’t Amazon just let us “request” a pre-order in advance, then give us a ping when our unit has been allocated and ready for purchase?

I hope my local one sticks around. They never use the hard sell and I enjoyed occasionally hanging out in there to pass a bit of time (before the pandemic). They may be a terrible company, but I’d rather buy games from them than contribute to Amazon’s monopoly on everything.

Bill & Ted Face the Music was just as thoroughly dumb (in the best way) and joyful as Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey. I already had a big, stupid grin plastered across my face by the opening monologue’s end. So, like, maybe two minutes into the film.

This is the problem with not defining your terms.

Or you could all stop being babies and enjoy whatever parts of Star Wars you like and then just ignore the parts you don’t like.

To be fair, I have seen little evidence that anyone in 2020 has.

Throwing the ball at the batter, accurately or not, isn’t really the object of the game unless the batter, I dunno, broke an “unwritten rule” like stealing third up six runs or hitting a 3-0 pitch for a grand slam or something...

I can confirm that the squeaky toy sound is essentially identical to the sound a rat makes when gripped in the jaws of a mini-dachshund. One came into a storage room and we blocked the door and brought her in to flush it out. Nailed the rat quickly and I thought she had a toy at first, but no, it was the rat.

Here’s hoping there’s no animus between the two parties.

When I was a bit into writing my response I suddenly remembered Suikoden III’s intro existed and doubted myself for a second. I’m happy with my response but yeah, that intro track is superb.

4. Works at a computer all day and likes the disconnect between PC and Console.

4) The controller, if you love it you love it. Just fits so nice in the hand.

Same issue here.

I can at least switch to the half-bow fairly rapidly, most of the time... usually...
