Consider it a badge of honor to be against this government.

There's nothing more American than telling a government to go fuck itself.

Honestly I'm glad I decided to pick this up despite my complete rejection of epic games store.

It has personally become one of the greatest games I've ever played, and I don't say that lightly, and I have been kicking myself for waiting so long to get into the alan wake series.

My friend got shot in the inner upper thigh with a rubber bullet by ICE in Minneapolis. I have no doubt they were intentionally aiming for his genitals. Left a gnarly bruise that encompassed his whole inner leg down to right above his knee.

He's billions richer. But he's also caused what feels to me like the fastest devaluation of the dollar and rapid loss of purchasing power for Americans.

So we all lose and he makes a small fortune.

It's only been 1 year too.

Hey this looks like every outdoor seating place at every bar in my town!

Why would he fire himself?

I would love to live without a car. But my town seems hell bent on making nothing walkable.

This is a weird generation of consoles. If you're an early adopter, you probably saved money. That sorta thing never happens.

So the AI Max 395+ easily performs about 6 to 8 times faster than the Steam Deck, but it of course uses way more power to accomplish it.

I have a Framework Desktop with the 395+, I use it as a small form factor gaming PC and it can play any modern game at 1440p without upscaling on high graphics settings while maintaining 60fps. Max power draw of about 120 watts. It's also basically silent which is awesome.

I'd imagine if they limit power draw for a handheld, it'd probably run significantly more efficiently than either the steam deck or Ally though. But I also feel like throttling such a powerful iGPU seems kinda wasteful and the 385+ could work just as well at low power and cost less..

When the label fits...

That's better priced than I'd expect for a Max+ 395. I'm not gonna buy it though, the steam deck still works fine.

Don't fall for the headline bait. It was a 3 vote margin. Republicans are almost all willing to give up their power to Trump.

 

If you aren't aware, the Ghost Stories English Dub is one of the most insane dubs ever made. It's incredibly offensive and racist and bat shit insane at times and it's probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Scamboli Reviews has a great summary video about it. If you have time, it's worth watching this anime at least once in your life.

 

The Gold Saucer is sure to be fantastic, and I'm excited to see the date scene. But I'm particularly interested in how they do Barret and Dyne's encounter. I hope they expand on that whole moment.

 

Can we discuss the start of act 2?

I made it a point not to roll back my saves for any decision I make. So far, I've managed to save the tiefling's at the druid camp. Being a tiefling myself, I want to see them make it!

This made me all the more excited to see all the tiefling's that I'd saved make it this far. And boy were there a lot of them. So many people I recognized from previous conversations or quests. I was thrilled! And they of course remembered me.

I say all this to emphasize how hard it hit me when I wasn't able to protect Isabel. That whole interaction blindsided me so bad. And my initiative roll was horrible for all my characters, I ended up being paralyzed and they just slaughtered her in 2 turns.

It was a freaking gut punch, the likes I haven't felt in a game in years. All those innocent people, turned to monsters, then forcing me to put them down.

My main character was always so optimistic before this. This interaction is gonna make me change the way I play and the decisions I make going forward, just to really add to the impact of him losing all those people he cared about, thinking the decisions he made led to their death.

Is there anyone living the good life with their tiefling friends in the Last Light Inn? Anyone who saved Isabel? Because my character just lost his people and is a broken person now because of it.
