- Comment on Does the engine a game uses factor into your decision to buy it or not? 3 days ago:
I do assume things based on performance based on the engine, but that’s more for moments like "new game is coming this fall, using some engine ", before tech specs are out. I find a lot of games that care to announce an engine in any way tend to be the heavier resource hogs, because they’re advertising the high fidelity of something-or-other.
But that’s not really a condemnation on any games. I do often avoid the high resource games, but that’s because I have an older PC, not because of any actual prejudice against an engine itself.

- Comment on Switch 2 demand appears to be flagging as Nintendo reportedly lowers production 2 weeks ago:
Right? They specifically set out to make sure it wouldn’t be scalped to hell and back after repeated complaints.
They did that, and now the product is real, and market predictions on existing products are much more reliable. The initial production wasn’t sustainable but wasn’t meant to be sustained, either.

Yeah it’s a stopped payment. Checks or bank accounts.
- Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead 2 weeks ago:
Nah there’s legitimate reasons to do that. Banks don’t charge the fees that credit card companies do.
Also, you can have your bank refuse payment, anyway.

Right, that’s why they suggested the quarry. Entirely safe.
Also, while NPCs do destroy furniture, they now shove chests, so it’s also easier to find these paths manually.

It became unlimited in HG/SS, which made it easier, but also more annoying for me when I had Platinum as my hub, because it meant I needed to catch a bunch of junk to trade over to my SS if I grabbed a Pokémon from the GBA games.
Such is life.
Although there are emulators that support loading the GBA games on DS, so if you want that pal park experience you can have it properly even on emulator.

I remember trying to get my living Dex sent over to gen 4 via the pal park. It was before heartgold and soul silver, so 6 pokemon a day. I’d do things like get middle stage Pokémon ready to evolve by getting them one level away, or holding the stone they need, etc, then as soon as I got them in Platinum, I could evolve them immediately and go get an egg. Called it “compressing” them, because the pal park was such a bottleneck, it was easier to rebreed them. Level 31 bulbasaur, for instance, send it, get it to 32 for a venusaur, get two eggs, hatch them, get one of those bulbasaur to evolve into ivysaur, so then I could store the proper living Dex trio in gen 4. Good times.

The answer is yes, this is exactly what sites like fiverr are for.
That is, if you value your time more than your money for this, because there’s probably a way to still semi-automate it and avoid some of the work. But yes, fiverr.
- Comment on Drug dealers hate this one weird trick! 2 months ago:
Simple, dissolve the whole package in one gallon of water, and then the solution is 110 times as potent as it should be.
Round up to 128 because watering it down a little more won’t hurt you, and that simplifies the math. You put one ounce of that gallon of solution into a second gallon of water, and you’re ready to drink. Repeat with a new gallon of tap water mixed with an ounce of your solution as needed.

I’m not sure, so if I were you I’d test the waters before committing to moving in.
Have your girlfriend over more often, stay for dinner, those things. If she’s already doing those things or it goes well, have her stay the night a few times. After that, have her stay for a week. Pay attention to how the kids and your ex react, not just what they say about it. Do they avoid going into rooms where your girlfriend is? Do they seem more annoyed than usual at signs of her presence, like a left-out plate?
When you do all this, treat her like a resident, not a guest.
If all that goes smoothly, I’d give the move-in a shot. If it doesn’t, then you haven’t committed your girlfriend to giving up her current living arrangements, she can go back to them.

Wouldn’t the square root just give plus/minus i? Seems correct enough.
- Comment on What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops? 8 months ago:
Eat enough that your body gets used to it?
If I had to guess I’d say its based on the amount of water I drink, and maybe coffee poops keeping me regular, less about the diet itself.
Dunno for sure, but I do know I have been so regular it was a surprise when someone told me a bidet reduces toilet paper usage, because I just didn’t believe it could do so. That’s because it can’t in my case. Takes me about as long to poop as it does to pee. Wish I could tell you what exactly I’m doing right but something is right.

- Comment on What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops? 8 months ago:
Always gotta wipe, just in case, but I rarely actually need to. No idea what I’m doing right so here’s some facts about my diet
-
I drink a gallon+ between straight water, coffee, and flavored sparkling water (no calorie, aspartame-sweetened)
-
My breakfast is usually cereal with 1% milk or bacon and eggs once a week.
Ramen for lunch
Pizza or pasta for dinner, with a vegetable side
Fruits and whatnot are eaten intermittently as snacks.
Hope this helps I guess its not the best diet but I’m always regular.

That’s true but anyone agaimt its inclusion would just say it doesn’t add to the story. “Clearly it detracts from the story, as the player would be distracted by the horrific event instead of enjoying the game” -some hypothetical mastercard Exec, right before fining Valve.
It’s not a court, so there’s no appeal from that, unless there’s an appeal granted by the contract itself.

You’re missing how a bunch of their friends from their new social class already do drugs and how good those drugs feel.
Easy hole to fall into, but money honestly makes it harder to climb out of, you can always afford the drugs.
So it becomes the norm, whereas someone at the poverty line with an addiction can’t afford them regularly and has to spend grocery money on them and therefore might be addicted but also resents them.
Rich people can afford to normalize drugs and consider themselves fine while they’re on them, because they’re still living within their means.
