yamamanamaYou want to know what bewilders me more than Gamingforce still being around? Spambots with “biography: Man” in their profile still being a thing. I remember dealing with a plague of them in 2008.
As a followup to something i said last week, I think if Trump wins or at least loses narrowly, the Republicans will field Bannon or Miller in 2024. If Trump loses decisively, they’ll probably pick a racist populist unassociated with Trump’s administration.
The Free Speech brigade is threatening to defund Duke University and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill because they have deemed them insufficiently anti-Muslim.
That is such a Houthi tactic.
Ellie has green hair and a fat skink named Bob. Meghan has a ferret named Odie. Jess has a boa constrictor.
Jonathan had a new Russian Blue tabby hybrid named Kiki.
Bush the Younger is like Harry the Super Mutant. Bush the Elder was fairly intelligent but not as much as Nixon, but had a tendency of going off on weird tangents. His vice president, Dan Quayle, did not have the excuse of being exposed to FEV. As far as we know.
Olivia (I actually forget who’s who. I think Nicole has tan skin and dark hair while Olivia is blonde and freckled) was just eating pasta sauce with a fork. She was going to make actual pasta but didn’t have the time so now it’s just stew. She also had mangoes and blueberries. She said the mangoes weren’t ripe enough.
Jacob once ate crepes at a sushi place. And they weren’t fish crepes.
She was wondering if Harry was really eating cat food. She has a friend who likes tuna so his mother got him a tin and it had a picture of a cat on it.
One time Jacob had lunch at 6:30 in the evening, and at that point, its basically dinner.
Michael says that Morrowind has an extremely dated combat system but some excellent worldbuilding. On the other hand, Oblivion isn’t that good. Jacob hates the way enemy levels scale. Michael says level scaling enemies rarely works out. The only one I like is Lightning Returns, where enemies level up as time goes on.
I think Xenoblade had the worst system of enemy levels. Basically, you get a severe penalty to evade and to your chance to hit when your level is lower than the enemy's. And the enemies get that same penalty and you get a pretty severe hit to your experience.
Harry said it feels cold and I agree with him. On the other hand, Nicole thinks it's warmer than it's been and maybe she's acclimated to it. Or I don't know, maybe she isn't there on weekends. For the last few days of summer and the first day of autumn, it's been very warm. I think today it peaked at 91 or even 92. Maybe the air conditioning is compensating for that.
I am so surprised Fallout 2 got away with the Hubologists. And then threw in a reference to A Canticle For Leibowitz for good measure.
burning question: Who cares if CELEBRITIES endorse Hubology? Shouldn't I make my own choices?
