Hopefully, in that case, more enlistees than refugees.

So, you think we all are the worst of us?

Given the situation, I can't judge.

Riiiight, because intelligent, hardworking people won't want to bail too.

Hope you guys at least accept enlistees ;)

Ooh I forgot about Project+! The only way to play Brawl. It turns it into possibly the best Smash game to date.

This was a tough one. But I'm probably going to have to say JSawyer Ultimate for Fallout: New Vegas. A continuation of the game director's own rebalance mod, it makes the game hard in a way that feels fresh and fair (unlike the baked-in Hardcore mode).

I like to pair it with my runner-up: JAM - Just Assorted Mods, for a more modern HUD and a sprint feature. Of course then you need the NPCs Sprint mod to rebalance combat and- you know what, all of the Viva New Vegas modlist while you're at it ;)

I count Dark Souls as a Metroidvania in my head, honestly.

But I think the actual defining feature is unlocking new abilities to reach new locations.

DS1 has you unlocking new areas that are interconnected with ones previously explored, but you don't really unlock new moves to get to a new place, it usually just happens after you beat a boss or buy an item.

I don't know if Trump will ever learn what consequences are. One month in office to this day, and he's already made us an enemy to our neighbors and allies.

They have no real reason to show any kindness toward US Citizens, but I can only hope Canada takes refugees if the US domestic situation gets any worse.

Welcome to the club.

My genuine reaction to that information:

TIL it's manly to smell like an onion that just worked out

Porn and weed.

I've no doubt there are people that can use it moderately, but my brain just keeps wanting more. I quit cigarettes with no issues. I went from drinking a 6-pack a night to barely drinking at all. But those two really are hard to escape. Every time I kick weed I always have a night where I'm relaxing and I go and get a preroll - then end up getting more and smoking for the next few days before I realize what I'm doing. Same thing with porn. I can smoke a hell of a lot of porn.

But seriously, it's hard to quit. And I think that part of the reason is due to my inability to label either of those things as "real addictions" in my head. Neither of those things are demonstrably decreasing my quality of life, at least not the way cigarettes and alcohol did, so I'm having trouble contextualizing them as harmful. Porn is easier for me in that regard, since it definitely subconsciously affects my views on the human body, and noticing that more is helping me shake the habit.

For the record, I do think weed is a lot less harmful than booze. But there's a right way and a wrong way to use it, and I've been using it the wrong way for so long that I don't think I can use it the right way.

To quote one of the great philosophers of our times:

"Well, Stan, the truth is marijuana probably isn't gonna make you kill people, and it most likely isn't gonna fund terrorism, but, well son, pot makes you feel fine with being bored, and it's when you're bored that you should be learning some new skill or discovering some new science or being creative. If you smoke pot you may grow up to find out that you aren't good at anything."

Now, I don't necessarily think all of that is true. Plenty of people are creative and innovative and also smoke pot, but it does make you content with doing nothing. Very relaxing in the moment, until you realize, after a few years of daily smoking, that all your friends have been learning new things and growing and you've been sitting on the couch watching TV the whole time. It's totally fine to use every now and then, and by no means should be illegal, but we do need to start being realistic about how daily cannabis use quells that burning desire to be active and improve ourselves.

TLOU has some of the most satisfying gameplay I have ever experienced. I have to wait a while between playthroughs, because it's almost like playing a movie. But it's so much more than a walking sim. The stealth segments kept me incredibly engaged, and looting for craftable materials is addictive in that game. I got to play the DLC, Left Behind, for the first time recently as well, and it was spectacular.

As far as linear, story-based games go, it's among the best.

But I am that E.A.

Pretty sure the condition of the post was we're immortal irl anyway, best believe I'm abusing quicksave regardless

....dude Musk'd the fuck outta McDonald's?

It'll play out like my last 5 playthroughs: a couple smacks from a deathclaw and I'm at Benny's doorstep in 10 minutes.

Don't even have to level Stealth, just have to stick close to Neil's Shack.

It's crazy to me that Ray Kroc was already in the unedited version of this image... Dude Edison'd the fuck outta McDonald's.

I thought about that, but I'd rather have some nice, premade spaces than have to build my home out of garbage every time.

You can't die, so it's just a post-apocalyptic zone, and really not even that with the different states moving in. There's AC and plenty of clean water, too.
