If the board games are on a tablet and have single player mode, buy that for the kid. It’s easier to build confidence when you’re fighting the computer and not mom/dad/sibling.

I know this is not a thing cool kids say, but I wish there was an easy mode.

And, to his credit, the dude did the work personally to lean into that range further. He looks like a bad-ass in John Wick because he took the time to learn how to do shooting high-speed low-drag from a grandmaster competitive shooter. There’s a YT video of him floating around shooting competition, and he looks like a…

Arguing about the morality of killing an animal for food when you are literally gunning down hundreds of people seems... odd?

Don’t they resupply themselves to some extent with the convoys? As you mentioned, there is this whole crazy system with the map, control points, liberation, etc. that is just not well explained. I don’t think you can actually LOSE a control point from lack of supply until the endgame.

The gun-toting civilian good guys actually do pretty well for themselves in this game, and make a real impact when you’re fighting it out with the various factions. But you are not wrong that the first game had essentially the viewpoint you’re describing.

In the particular example I was thinking of, these were very low-yield weapons that were not going to have that kind of overkill. It just took three of them to get it done.

These are dirt cheap compared to an F-35, and I suspect will only get cheaper if produced in scale. However, I will agree that it’s disconcerting when the .mil spends $300k to kill a couple enemy combatants.

Did some people try to screw her business-wise? Undoubtedly. But random, unprovable accusations of shit being stolen is a pretty solid sign of some sort of mental degeneration. It may be early stages, and she may be young-ish, but I’d bet dollars to donuts she’s got a problem. You don’t go from “full faculties” to…

My grandfather suffered from it, albeit much older than Gail. Was tremendously unpleasant to watch, and forced some tough conversations between me and my dad about what to do with him if he suffered the same malady.

Good article, but my gut feeling is that she’s starting to suffer from some form of mental degeneration, perhaps paranoid dementia.

Ugh, I hate those tomb mission entry requirements. I’m sure they sounded like a good idea, but they feel like filler.

A collection would be mind-blowing, and probably a pretty quick buy for me.

For real? What’s the point? I could almost get past the lack of titans, but all the insane movement being gone makes it pointless. It’s like being one of those soldiers on the ground that you kill in droves.

The Colossus had a lot of survivability and power, but you had to play and build it right, and I’m not sure the demo was giving most people enough time to figure the nuances out, especially how to use the shield and melee effectively. People kept seeing the big guns and kinda forgot about everything else, and you…

I can certainly accept that allegation, even if I disagree with it. :)

I was responding to the parent comment’s proposal, and was not confusing anything you are alleging I confused. The parent really was talking about not allowing anyone to be _worth_ a billion dollars in cash, owned stock, or whatever. You are kind of super-imposing the current capital gains taxation system on top of…

I agree with you. The commentariat here has clearly never heard of agency by estoppel. The store manager made a deal with this dude to let it go in exchange for free food, and now they’re violating that promise. The funny thing is, this is like peanuts money over 20 years... the DM’s best play would have been to let…

IIRC, command told the regular SOCOM guys to cut it out with the beards; I think you need to be ASO or doing other plain-clothes assignments to get away with those now.

This would be such a huge win for Hulu if they could nab those series. Don’t they already have some X-Men content?
