It is, it really is. I can’t hate on them for trying to make money to keep afloat, but the amount of autoplay video and ad popups is far beyond the pale. 

I’m guessing that the TV series is what they mean. It’s technically based off of a comic, so comic-adjacent is kind of fitting.

If you do try this approach in say Pathfinder: Kingmaker, you’re in for a terrible playthrough even on normal settings and probably easier. Just be aware.

I think it’s fine to say you should be able to make a character in 5 minutes or less, but not that you should make a character in 5 minutes or less. That’s how you end up halfway through the game realizing you skimped on the two stats that are necessary, or that your halfling isn’t actually strong enough to wield a…

There’s still a lot of them, that’s no lie. I live about 30 minutes from one that has never really changed much in the past 50 years. People around here just think that non-white folks don’t want to live there, pretty unaware that they have ways to make sure you know you can’t.

People are strange. Sometimes they look…

Maybe someone’s still doing the work, or there’s an automated process out there doing it. I’d sure hate to see it disappear though.

Very often people are completely unaware that the towns exist, much less the how or why of it. It can really be an eye-opener for some of that ignorance.

It is sad. I used that site a fair bit in undergrad classes too, even updated him with info on a few of the towns in my area (NE Arkansas). I wish someone would pick it back up and run with it.

Memphis is about an hour from here, and pretty intrigued to see what’s up with this pizza. If I can find an excuse to go there, I’ll report back.

With an answer like that, they are definitely a keeper.

Hahah, we are all unusual around here. I think it’s an occupational requirement. Must have MLS or equivalent. Must also be weird as shit.

Academic, for about 12 years now? But I’ve got much love for our public, which I visit very often. You?

Well nice to meetcha!

Cataloging/Discovery Services here.

Hey, me too man. Mind if I ask what field? Librarian here, my official title is Cataloging and Metadata Specialist, although that’s a bit funny because really I’m more specialized in Marc-21 and RDA, which are library centric metadata and standards. Still a neophyte with DublinCore, METS, XML Schemas and the like.

Nice…

I don’t disagree with you at all, unless you’re using the words to appear superior or impress. I’d say that actually “dumbing down” language is rude as hell to both yourself and company in a lot of conversations. It assumes the recipients need dumbing down to, or are unable to keep up.

Know your audience, choose your…

Hell, here’s a better base principle.

If you have to *try* to use it, you probably shouldn’t. Even if its the technical jargon of your field. Once you’re knee deep in it for long enough, you don’t have to try, that shit seeps our your pores.

Here’s my take: your vocabulary should often reflect the context and community you’re using it in. Talking among to a classroom full of first-graders, then you shouldn’t use these. Talking to colleagues, maybe some are okay depending on your field (curate, utilization are used daily in this field). Talking among…

Rock Bottom Remainders, unless I miss my mark.

I have tried them both, and I prefer the spicy version quite a bit. It’s got the right amount of heat to make the sandwich pop. Mind you the classic is not bad at all, I just need a little kick to it.

I just had one about thirty minutes ago. It’s my fourth one in the last two weeks, so you might say I like em. This is the first time I’ve been though where Popeye’s drive through had traffic backed up into the street, and stayed that way the entire hour of my lunch break. Bear in mind this is a town of about 70k…

Uplay password? I can’t even remember the account email I signed up with. I’ve got like the entire damned Might and Magic collection on it, and I’ve been wanting to try For Honor. I legitimately thought it was one of two accounts, and been waiting on that password reset for over an hour.
