Just had mine yeeted 3 weeks ago… and the pain was a relief compared to the pain I was in before… I got by the first couple of days with the oxcodone the doc prescribed in addition to 800mg ibuprofen. After 2 days or so I stopped taking the oxy and took the ibuprofen only for the next week until the big pills were gone and then periodically just taking 400mg as needed for pain. 3 weeks later and there’s no more pain at all and I have started eating things a little more solid woth the dentures I got…

Was thinking the same thing… now, searching through all my SQL scripts for the past year to find the same logic I want to replicate in another script, well that’s different.

If anyone ever invents a synthesizer somehow capitalism will fina way to ruin it. It would be lovely to live in a post scarcity society though

Like… there’s such a thing as comments my dude.

I never got through the prologue either… but I’m a completionist, and each mission was giving me extra parameters that made things so much harder than just ‘beating’ the mission.

That and playing demos before buying

Going to my step dads house when my mom first started dating him and playing Pitfall on his Colecovision in the late 80’s. I was 3.

Ditto :o

Yeah. How I am with it. Spend so much time modding that I never actually get around to playing it. Add that to thr mod that makes every building have an interior and suddenly even when I do play it it takes forever to get anywhere

I never started episode 2. I knew that was the end and just… never played it to keep things non definitive

#1 seller for me is the fact that the bumpers are better replaceable cause they’re attached to the joystick board not the button board. That was the ibiggest pain for me cause when they stopped working on my first deck I had to send it in, and they gave me a new one wiping out all the software customizing I had done. I can feel the bumper going on my current deck a few months ago, it only works if you press it a certain way and one small jostle could make it stop entirely again and I’ll need to RMA AGAIN.

Disney makes games off of all their properties, and .ore often Tham not they’re pretty good.

I mean, valhalla did have every weapon under the sun, sure, but before unity you couldn’t even permanently switch your weapon. Swords and hidden blade are all you had, other than utility items like maybe a gun or bombs. In some earlier games you could disarm your enemies and use their weapons, but other than that it was Swords. So with this being a ‘return to classic AC’ it’s actually chill that there’s only a couple different Swords and daggers to equip, rather than an arsenal. It’s just not what this game was going for. Combat does take a bit to get used to coming from valhalla but I wouldn’t say it’s ‘janky’ it’s just far more tactical. In valhalla or Odyssey you could murder entire fortresses of dudes like it was nothing in your combat gear, but this is going back to stealth. You wanna take out guys stealthily cause combat is much harder. You need to do your strikes precisely, parry and dodge at the right times, choose which envies to attack in order of threat and ability to take them out. I like it.

It’s not even the lowest so far, it’s the third lowest. Unity and Rogue where rated lower, and I get that. unity was a buggy mess on launch but is my personal least favorite even after they fixed it, and Rogue was basically a black flag expansion, which was fine. I don’t think that deserved to be so low cause I found the story great, an assassin defecting to the Templar was exactly the sort of story the series needed to show, that not everyone sees the assassins as the good guys.

Mirage so far is… ok. I’ve done a fair share of exploring the map and I can say it’s probably only the size of one of Valhallas expansions, which is fine, we paid a fraction of the price they charge for a full assassins creed game. Some assets are reused from Origins, which is fine, we’re in the desert again. I’m not sure if it’s just the shock of going from a fully leveled Eivor to a skilless unequipped Basim, which I experienced the past 2 games, or if this is generally harder than previous entries. Thr fact they brought back notoriety mechanic that was missing from valhalla, and also brought back the mercenaries hunting you from Odyssey, AND the fact that when you die your notoriety doesn’t reduce, and while they brought back the stupid wanted poster mechanic, they are few and far between to rip down, and you need special tokens to bribe the town criers… I’m liking the new challenge, keeps me on edge, makes me really think about whether I should kill a guard or sneak by.

If only life were that interesting.

Sorry just noticed this notification. Yes actually! A $500 shopping spree on a gaming website.

I apply to a lot of online contests and most have me ‘retweet’ the contest submission link or follow people on the platform. That is literally all I use it for.

37, Eastern PA. I CAN drive a stick, but I don’t like to. It’s another distraction I don’t need while driving. Can pay attention to all the other idiots on the road when not worrying what gear I’m in or when to shift.

Wtf they just raised the price last November by a lot too. I bought a 1 year plan locked in at the old rate before it did and it’s the only streaming service I’ve had this past year.

Star Trek went through the Eugenics Wars and WW3 before the aliens bothered with us, cause someone in the post apocalyptic wasteland still managed to figure out warp travel. I wouldn’t bank on that.
