Or Bastion; he lets you be a useful contributor to the team, especially on defense, even if you don’t have the time to keep your skills on the same level as they people you’re playing with.

Might I suggest something like Ticket To Ride? No more complex than Clue, but more interesting design and maybe a gateway to the broader world of hobby board games.

Important note on the Switch; Nintendo is about to release an improved version with substantially better battery life.

We went through Chase for our mortgage, and they offered a five hundred dollar credit for completing a FHB class.

This is one of the virtue of games with a Luck stat, or some other mechanical representation of luck like Fate Points. It makes it easy to make a character who isn’t actually very good at things, but still manages to be useful to the party.

Southwest always prices their tickets in terms of one-way flights. They don’t discount round-trip tickets.

Asking about citizenship is not part of the constitutionally-mandated purpose of the census, and will interfere with the census’s ability to fulfill its constitutionally mandated purpose of accurately counting the number of people. A citizenship question will result in an under-count by millions.

I’m not at all surprised that they didn’t, but I wish they got Sanders, or at least some staffers, playing and talking about a politically focused game like Fate of the World.

I’d also check out Scott Robertson’s How To Draw. The name makes it sound elementary, but it’s really not; it’s the most in depth manual on perspective I’ve encountered.

The tutorial is assuming you already have a solid understanding of how perspective works, but if you have that, there’s plenty of useful advice here.

We have a Constitution. It, very explicitly, says that the census is a count of all people. Not all citizens, all people.

They aren’t independent contractors. You can’t legally mandate what hours an independent contractor works (not that it never happens, but doing it on a large scale would be inviting lawsuits). Contractors, including QA, are almost always W2 employees of an employment agency; the contract is between the game studio and…

You see to think there’s no cost to forgiving loans. Every dollar that goes to loan forgiveness is a dollar that can’t go to other worthy programs. So yeah, I’m gonna be upset about a recently-graduated MFA making 200k a year getting a 200k handout from the government while millions of people struggle to live on less…

I really, really can’t see a Democratic senator from a mostly-blue-collar state voting in favor of a massive handout exclusively to college graduates (especially if, under the Sander’s plan, you’re including people making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year). I’m pretty sure roughly half of Democrats don’t merely…

Only if it’s hot enough to be a problem a significant chunk of the year, there’s nowhere shaded or grassy you could walk them, the dog can’t be trained to wear booties, you can’t walk them in the early morning or at night, and the dog wouldn’t be destined for a worse fate if you didn’t adopt them.

When people talk about a government service being free, they mean free at point of use. This is true for free public education, for freeways, and for free libraries. It’s really not necessary to point out that they’re paid for out of tax dollars--everyone knows that.

My library has a delivery service for people who, for medical reasons, can’t easily travel to the library. It’s honor system so the sign up is painless, making it an option for people who are only temporarily incapacitated—say you can’t drive due to a broken leg.

Space Marine was a good game, but nowhere close to the genre-defining classic that CoH1 is.

It’s worth noting that a lot of online retirement calculators don’t take Social Security into account. While there’s arguably some wisdom to that—we don’t know what the state of Social Security will be in thirty years--it also makes the numbers scarier than they probably need to be.

You don’t need to pay off the credit card every two weeks to avoid paying interest. Interest doesn’t start to accrue until after the payment due date, which is once a month on every credit card I’ve ever seen.
