It’s during.
I have legit punched the screens, and pressed all the buttons so hard in, I’m suprised nothing broke.
When it’s obvious from the start you can just drive to a different station (for now), but when it sneaks up on me is when I get angry.

Well, I am willing to give it another go. I’ll report back if my opinion has changed!

Ah, thank you for the context.
I tried playing the definitive edition of AOE2 but it didn’t feel right in comparison to the HD version, and haven’t really touched the franchise since. (Other than to periodically go back and play AOE2HD with a friend)

How many more versions of 2 do we need? The 2013 sprite version still looks great.
- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 2 weeks ago:
It’s also legal to give someone money after the fact for a job well done, and it’s definitely not a bribe.

And I feel like it’s important context to also explain that the Richter Scale is logarithmically scaled, so a magnitude 6 earthquake is 100 times more than a magnitude 5.

Heck yeah! Something me and my brother and some strangers on the internet have in common!
You reminded me the game had the option to do either vertical or horizontal splitscreen, something I don’t think I’ve seen since.

The Most Brutal of all video games, Metalocalypse of Honor is where my brain went haha!

Metal of honor rising sun was such an amazing game. I don’t remember if I ever beat it, but nothing will outdo the opening Pearl Harbor attack.
OH MY GOD, WE LOST THE ARIZONA!

Let me think about this.
Sure does. They would lose money if the cost of the beans was more expensive than the coffee.
- Comment on My student loan is gaining interest while I'm in school but I'm not allowed to start paying it off yet 5 weeks ago:
Getting the full amount is extremely easy. The couple of semesters I tried to only take the subsidized loans they gave me both and had to refund it for some reason.
- Comment on My student loan is gaining interest while I'm in school but I'm not allowed to start paying it off yet 5 weeks ago:
Have you added a payment method? Thing may have changed in the last two years since I have graduated, but I was able to pay off interest during college.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 5 weeks ago:
I would like to think so? Even so, I do pay my parents 500 a month as rent.
Yeah, he would probably be homeless if he didn’t have an overly supportive family I think.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 5 weeks ago:
I regularly tell my parents that the reason I am not like so many Americans, is that I have a supportive family. I live with my parents, but I would likely be homeless if they weren’t here for me.

While personally I agree with you at the ddMMMyyyy superiority, it is kind of confusing in international markets.

- Comment on Anon is 23 1 month ago:
It is more than likely a relatively shitty hard job.
Most shops have a shop time per hour, which lets say it’s 60, you would probably make like 20 an hour. But your hours are not time worked, they are what the body that sets the job time. So say you have to replace a water pump, and the job time is 10 hours. If you can do it faster you still make ten hours, but if it’s slower you still only make 10 hours.
There are pros and cons to every job of course, but generally speaking they get paid by the job, which can be profitable: if you’re quick, know what you need to do, and have what you need to do it. OR the exact opposite, figuring out what is wrong, doing a job, and you have to redo it because the parts that you got from the manufacturer are faulty, you still only get paid for one job. Or if that aforementioned water pump actually takes you 20 hours, it would hurt your bottom line.
My highschool autoshop teacher worked at a dealership with the only real exception I’ve heard about automotive, which is electrical. His shop time and pay was 100 an hour, but he hated that job.
- Comment on If the US Military can offer free money for college education..and is part of the government then why does the average Joe have to pay back a small student loan? 2 months ago:
As someone who went to college on the GI bill, I was really looking forward 20k in student loan forgiveness.

How has no one responded with correct response: steaming eggs.
Seriously, every egg peels super easy after I steam them for 15 minutes. My grandpa has bought a steamer because I brought mine to his house.

Besides the doors my parents opened for me, every single opportunity I have had has been because I walked through the door and asked. I have found that often, you make your own luck.
