From both a legal and a moral stance, how would it be viewed if a disabled veteran with a cane beat up some kids? Like do they balance out?

Who cares if it doesn't? These stupid kids used their one chance card on a "furry walkout", they already cried wolf once over some dumb ****. No one will come or care to help them, swing that cane freely.

Wow, I wish I were a kid again...so I could beat these kids up.

Jump King

I briefly talked about this one, its a very simple 8 bit game, a game I would never buy a few months ago. The premise is simple, get to the top of the level, but it’s hard. Its a rage inducing game, you hold down the “A” button and the longer you hold it down, the more you jump. Once you jump, you’re locked in (think old school Castlevania). You miss, you’re falling down, way down, losing an hour of progress in a few seconds. Sounds terrible, but if you know what the game is going in, its almost like you’re in on the joke.

RAD

Once again, not the kind of game I would ever normally get down on, but I’ve been in a rut lately. This is a top down, isometric, roguelike dungeon crawler. Nothing too special, but it has great music and a very “90’s” vibe to it. You level up and gain random mutations (things like growing a turret head, a head you can throw like a grenade and it grows back, wings, immunity to acid, etc). Really simple, yet really fun game that doesn’t take itself too seriously and has great 90’s music.

Bit Dungeon Plus

Hate it! ****ing hate this game! Its similar to the first Zelda, but only if its the dungeons. Another dungeon crawling roguelike, but I ****ing hate this game. Its just a boring game that explains almost nothing, is unfair, not fun and almost feels incomplete or broken. I’ve played better games on Newgrounds over 20 years ago.

Genesis Alpha One

This one is a FPS, roguelike, base building, survival game. You play as a clone whose mission is to expand human colonization of outer space. Your “home” is a space station that you build with acquired resources and the stations you build will give your perks on your mission (tractor beam collects debris, greenhouse makes food, armory makes weapons, etc). You will also have to protect your station from alien attacks and go down to a planet’s surface to collect resources and stave off hordes of aliens. Weird game, not many bells and whistles, low budget but interesting game. Haven’t played much, but seems easy to learn, hard to master.

The Eternal Cylinder

I have no idea what the **** I'm playing, seriously, I have no idea what the hell is going on here. I was sold on this game being an “open world/Spore/survival/action game…I’m stuck and it only ten minutes into the ****ing game. I really have no idea what to do and I don’t like using guides, I definitely feel like I shouldn’t need a guide in the first 15 minutes of the game. That being said, the look and music of this game is amazing, once I figure this game out, we might have a gem on our hands.

Yeah ammo will eventually not be a problem. I think part of the idea is to make you feel that "everything is scarce until you're royalty" wasteland vibe. 

 

Interesting take on NV, in that most people consider it to be weaker than 3 and 4 from what I understand.  (I don't have strong opinions, I liked them all.)

NV has been considered one of the best Fallout games from quite a few people and it has a very interesting story behind it's development. It had a terrible launch, so it's initial reviews weren't great. I remember it almost setting my gaming pc on fire when I tried to play it without any patches.

I’ve been so bored with games lately. I must have started and stopped about 10 of them. I think it’s me and not the games.

 

 But I do feel I haven’t really gotten a next gen experience outside of Returnal and maybe R&C. Where’s all the game using the controllers to the fullest? 
 

i feel like the PS5 is PS4.6. It’s above PS4 pro, but I don’t feel games have changed much at all. 
 

I’m hard to entertain, so maybe I’m just being difficult about the whole situation.

 

 It might be game overload with ps+ and I own about 60. I’m going to let ps+ lapse next month and just focus on the 12 games I’ve purchased and haven’t played yet. 

Been feeling the same way, so I've been exploring genres I generally don't like or play as of late. I've actually been writing a post of several mini reviews of those games that I've bought and have been playing. I suggest trying the same thing, pick a genre you don't normally like or play very often and try a different game.

playing Fallout 3 for the first time due to the new Amazon series coming out

 

It's okay so far. Not like your typical fps where you can easily find ammo. No, in this game ammo is a chore

Play Fallout 3, so you can play Fallout: New Vegas and fully understand how much better that game is compared to Fallout 3 or 4. 

P.S. You'll find more ammo as you get further into the game, I remember thinking that too when I played F3.

My bro in law also annoyed me with a massive spoiler, so I'm kinda already grouch-playing this to begin with

They're all the same with minor differences, you've played one, you basically played them all. I really tried to like Odyssey, but there really isn't much there. Wide ocean, but pretty shallow.

Thats why I don't get all the excitement for this new Star Wars game, its your typical Disney trash painted onto the same "Ubisoft open world", paint by numbers videogame. I wish people would stop buying this junk and maybe they would stop making this ****. At least don't buy it on day one, it will be on sale after 3 months for half price anyways.

AHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I'm a single man, I have to clean my own bathroom. I sit when I pee.

Team just looks tired now.

Getting lucky here...

Oh, I see.  Yes, I agree with all of that.  I just don't see this as a situation where one Dem vote is going to matter.  I think either the GOP caucus is going tell MTG and the other guy to **** off, or it's going to completely fracture and the Dems will get to decide if they want to save him, and that will take at least a majority of Dems.  But things can certainly change from where they stand now.  

True, but I had fun watching the first Speaker vote, I wish they were all that much fun.

Thankfully that didn't happen.

Is that PP our F from the refs?

Hmmm, maybe about to get screwed here?

Finally, I don't really see how one person saying he doesn't have preconditions gives away the Dem's leverage, you'll need to explain that to me.  

As far as I concerned, Suozzi is laying the path for other Dems to vote Johnson in for speaker. If this is the Dem's plan, so be it. However, if he's speaking out of school, he's telling Johnson that he has at least one (now I'm hearing two) Dem votes no matter what. Just say you're open to it, don't say you're going to vote for him no matter what happens. Dems should've said they're sticking with Jefferies and see how the cards fall. Of course, they could already have a deal in place, but with the way Johnson is freaking out, I'm going to say that they don't

I hear ya but, first, I think this particular Member is in an extremely swingy district (I think he's George Santos' replacement), so he's not going to be the guy to draw a hard line in public, there is no upside for him to do so.  Second, he's a Congressperson, so what he says in public and what he does in the back room are not necessarily related. 

I get that, but that is usually for bills, not speaker votes. Also, you don't need to come out and say you're going to support him, why so eager to show your hand? I don't know how "honorable" Speaker Johnson is, but it sounds like the Dems want to save him, so why agree to anything? Sounds like the Dems need him to be speaker as much as he wants to be speaker, why give away your leverage?

The Cyber Truck will go down as one of the all time worst decisions in automotive history. Never understood it from any actual business perspective. I don't get why institutional investors aren't pressuring the board to remove that dip****. 

I don't know, they might think of Elon as a Trump like figure, where he IS the company. I'm shocked the government still deals with this fool, don't be shocked to see him out at SpaceX as well.

Just now, Larry said:

 

Disagree.  There are times for bipartisanship.  

 

If that is what the Dems decide to do as a party, so be it. However, I don't want some rogue congressman mucking this up for whatever reason. Besides, why give Johnson what he wants without any reassurances? Sounds like a mistake to me.

As long as they speak together. Who knows how many Republicans Johnson will lose

 

 

Tell him to shut the **** up and vote with the party, if not, he can fund his own election, with his own money and own polling/voter information. Now is not the time for the Dems to run a loose ship.

Nope, those kids are Aryan Brotherhood looking white, can't pin that one on me.

You had to wear a shopping bag for seven of those ten days didn't you? 🤔

 

One of the boys came home with different pants on, I asked him about it and he said the ones I gave him were too small. I don't know where the other pants came from, I didn't ask.

Aww ****! Cancel my Saturday night plans, we're getting high and watch CSPAN all night!

Honestly, I don't think this is the trial that Dumbo should want to delay. However, if he want to take the stand closer to the election and admit banging a porn star or commit perjury...I welcome it.

Also, I said this would stress him out and you would see it take its toll. I most meant on his mind, but physically, he looks like **** too. He looks like I did after I helped watched the kids I live with when their mom went out of town for ten days (TEN DAYS!!!).
