Oh how I wish more antivaxxers chugged bleach…

Truth be told, dragon dancers still win so often against everyone else, but the bar is pretty low. Lol
I am on a retro fix lately and adore my Gen V Volcarona with Quiver Dance, but in that generation, my Ferrothorn saves me more often than not. Still, can’t do competitive with those DS games though, lol.

To add, it’s even worse if you know sweepers and how fast they can decimate your team; they usually have protection to one shot KO and decent speed.
Except there’s perhaps a third bored looking Spongebob with the counter ready to go, as you should always be ready to counter a Swords Dance sweeper.

My wife got my sister a job, although she still had hoops to jump. I think that’s probably B?
- Comment on People are sitting on the bike lane or parking on it. Saint Denis, France 1 week ago:
I can kind of understand the sitters, but the parked motorcycles are just wrong. (Also they really should have better dedicated places for people to sit, but c’est la vie as they say)
- Comment on Throwback to a simpler time 1 week ago:
It’s never too late to Picross (no really, Jupiter still makes them for Nintendo and you can find them on switch, and you can always pirate them if you have ethical concerns!)
If you want a different flavor, there’s also Final Fantasy Pictlogica (also Jupiter made) but the most recent version is a defunct freemium mobile game. Go 3DS emulation for it.
Oh and honorable mention to indie game Murder By Numbers, although I felt like that was more VN than Picross.

I uh… I said “Hello there.” It was instinct.
I’m a little sad they didn’t say “General Kenobi” but you can’t win them all.
- Comment on This is what peak dining looks like 1 week ago:
An interesting twist in LA, they mostly sell amazing Mexican food, including the authentic stuff, but somehow also pancakes, burgers, and gyros (?!) that are also passable.
Also maybe an arcade machine, but more likely a drive thru that probably isn’t supposed to be there (especially since the food still takes 20 minutes to make).
Yes I have a place in mind and no I won’t be sharing it. Lol
- Comment on I never liked these. Too sticky and high in calories. My GF has always loved them 2 weeks ago:
When I was younger I would sometimes take several in a day, but looking back on it, it was a pretty unhealthy lifestyle.
- Comment on We don’t need 75-inch TVs, we need 75% off basic survival. 💀 2 weeks ago:
I mean, yes and no, there are transport costs and stuff, plus you have operational costs. But they definitely mark up prices by a lot, especially things made in house like their cookies and muffins. Muffins start at $6, they get a mark down to $4 after a day, and probably more but they usually sell at $4. If you consider labor prices, energy cost, and ingredients, that day-old price is still pretty profitable.
You want corruption though, I’m glad Albertsons didn’t get the merger with Kroger/Ralph’s. They already do piss poor quality at high prices for no reason, but I’m also certain they’ve tried to bribe their way into that merger.

Seriously… It’s so randomly priced, lol. $13 soup? 25 cent bell pepper? $40 herbal supplement?
But I will defend their $4.50 milk, everyone caught up on prices anyway but I swear it tastes better. Same with the $4 eggs that… At one point during the eggdemic, was the cheapest eggs on market. They didn’t even raise their price, they just have different suppliers than Target next door selling shit eggs for $8 a dozen. Lol

My local Sprouts occasionally puts old or discontinued products for 99 cents and I end up feeling like it’s a fucking holiday. Like, fuck yeah I’ll take these discontinued lemon and poppy seed cookies no one wanted.
I think they have an anti waste policy, cause those sales get real heavy sometimes.

Kudos to you for posting for the sake of denying them. I won’t watch because I’d rather keep blind; I actually really enjoyed GTAV (once it was on PC and sold for next to nothing lol) and I’ll probably get this several years after release the same way. I’m remarkably good at avoiding spoilers for unreasonable amounts of time (e.g. I found out the cake was a lie a decade after Portal released, lol).
Also fyi, GTA games are generally good and you can tell the writers and world builders had fun with it despite their shit management. It’s not a bad idea to pirate or buy at a strict discount to at least see the story they created. Plus, I’m an LA native and GTAV is practically a documentary!

Your sign is the wrong way, you’re asking for a price tag greater than $50, hehe.
But I agree!
- Comment on Famous hit song. But you are probably too young to get it 2 weeks ago:
My 4yo likes the line “teacher leave those kids alone!” She sings it quite loudly, but I don’t think she quite gets the meaning of the song, hehe
- Comment on Elevator was taking forever. No problem. Needed to take a quick squirt anyway 2 weeks ago:
It’s a lot funnier when the door opens to just the toilet in view, no door but the elevator door.

- Comment on Following accusations, James Pond Legacy devs say no generative AI was used in creating artwork 3 weeks ago:
I’ll play devil’s advocate and say there are non-AI render processes that can miss a horn (e.g. working from a clay model and scanned, for instance). I’ll even say that the very-AI looking 2D illustration can simply be a byproduct of a lack of creativity and the fact this is clearly shovelware. I lived through the Wii era, I can attest that shovelware can look this bad without AI, lol.
HOWEVER, it sure as hell looks like AI generated artwork and they could do a lot better defending their process. The irony is … I don’t really think the trailer is AI? It’s… honestly too unpolished and weird to be? Every effect used is something I’m certain I could do myself, lol.

I mostly remember DDS, which is my favorite from the series. I don’t remember clearly but I recall a very specific strategy to down him.

I think a lot of other games protags get to! Although only on NG+ in some cases.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.
I think being the protag is arguably the best scenario here, assuming I survive the tutorial. The rest of y’all are very fucked, though.
- Comment on It's great to see a politician that's progressive and Not a Millionaire. 3 weeks ago:
She… she has 66k in bank accounts? I hope they’re at least in CDs or high yield savings; although I guess she gets a pension.
- Comment on this is so dark, Black Mirror couldn’t have imagined it 3 weeks ago:
Regret is a funny thing since none of us are fortune tellers. When you realize that every decision you make works the same way, you get a lot more chill about life.

I was chitchatting in a jury waiting room yesterday, on the day of the guilty plea, and there’s a fun little “what side are they on” when talking to strangers- especially boomer strangers in California- that happens when Luigi is brought up.
I detected a “Luigi deserves jail time” from her but I could tell she was playing the same game with me so I just nodded along and changed topics. Lol
Though, if I made it to voir dire, I was so ready to preach the gospel of Luigi and go full ACAB to get let go. Can you believe they only pay 15 bucks a day for jury duty if your employer doesn’t cover? Man fuck that, lol.

The stalking charge, oddly, includes someone dying. Stalking doesn’t usually do 25 to life without that “resulting in death” bit.

:(
Terraria is one of my favorites and I haven’t had a chance to play Calamity. RetroAchevements had, remarkably, added support for the base game and I think there were hopes for set support of this and any other big mods (tracking completion, doing additional challenges, etc). I’m sure this puts some damper on those efforts.
I’ll have up make do with just trying to finish the Completionist set if the craving hits again (it’s insane, every item in the game must be collected!)

Y’all thinking mules and horses but I’m thinking Satyr for all ones’ Greek mythos or demon sex play needs.
- Comment on 10.99 for a beer with..... ai pictures on it. 5 weeks ago:
While I agree the price is ridiculous (especially as a non drinker lol) I’m not convinced it’s AI. Looking up Brewskey on an image search, you can find images of similar cans going back 3yrs. Very diverse styles, with common themes of monocle and hops.
That said, trying to find literally any info on artists both past and present is proving difficult. Most info is just about how they make their IPAs and any mention of art is all “the art of brewing” which isn’t what I’m after. There are quite a few beer can artists out there though so I bet someone willing to search Instagram or something might be able to find an artist who contributed to Brewskey.
