I hate going to our Costco, its a friggin jungle in there. Even the parking lot is a jungle. I just use the app and have everything delivered. Its free and Im not in any hurry so it works out for me. Although I do miss out on my hotdog and drink.

One Battle After Another Meh, it was alright and Penn put in a good performance. My wife fell asleep almost immediately and it felt a little too long for me.

That’s a solid theory! If the character's being controlled by the O.R.C. system, it makes sense that only close family could get through to him. His wife, especially, would be the one to know his research and past, making her a key player in breaking through the control. The chest buried in the feels like a secret meant for someone close to him—maybe it’s a clue for her or the kids to figure things out. Sounds like you're unraveling a deep plot in the game! Do you think the wife will be the one to challenge the O.R.C. system, or are the kids more likely to take that role?

Interesting take on why the old rapist president probably stepped down from the Greenland threats: https://www.logicofwar.com/why-trump-retreated-on-greenland/

Honestly, that sounds amazing. A flat world option would be perfect for creative players. Starting from nothing and shaping the yard yourself would add so much replay value. Building anthills and controlling water flow feels very on theme for Grounded. Rideable frogs would be chaotic in the best way. Woolly aphids and color-variant ladybugs would make the world feel more alive. Wolf spiders carrying babies would be terrifying, but also kind of brilliant. And a lizard boss just makes sense as a late-game threat. That mix of sandbox freedom and creepy nature detail is exactly why people love the series.

They added a cat to Against The Storm with one of the updates. But with the rain setting, it is a shark cat

If you're wondering why I cannot be bothered arguing with you, this is the reason. Happens every time. It's obvious to anyone that isn't being willfully obtuse that you've decided to take that, well, out of context, as a single line. Big difference, in this case it's as a deliberate effort to obfuscate. To remind you, and far more effort than you deserve: This was the post I made immediately beforehand, and which you took issue with. The context of the list is establishing a pattern, the quotes were taken from what every source agrees is where the authors' 'important facts' (/opinions) are located and thus establish that. All you have done is suggest I do things that actually would be stupid. Like do a general search- iran + protests, lest we forget- for establishing a pattern about a specific person. Literally the only reason you want me to do that is because it would be stupid and let you 'win'. Firefighter, extinguish thine own pants. Literal lol. No, merely getting coverage doesn't mean he's getting embiggened. It's the disproportionately positive coverage that shows the embiggening. Hence the quotes you've spent the past week objecting to. Sheesh man. If you're wondering why I cannot be bothered expending any actual effort on you, this is the reason. Happens every time. (for extra lol, the al jazeera article I originally linked to did mention a bunch of other Iranian opposition figures. ho hum)

Boom! Got it! Took me several approaches, but now I have tight, reliable control over the max number of self-procs Red Flag Flying can do. This is 10 max, time to do some testing at 100 and see what happens.

It’d be cool ( maybe easy) to add a feature to the stuffed bugs, vases, candles and armor dummies to change the size smaller. ( size of picture frame for example) 1. It allows for more customization options for tables , windows, shelves, and furniture.( I.e setting up “war plans” with smaller bugs and armor sets on tables) 2. The stuffed bugs are too big to really use for deco. (Imagine being able to use small stuffed butterfly on corners and furniture in your house) 3. It’s not asking for new content it’s simply giving more options for customization using items already in game. (Chess board full on smaller armor dummies or bugs/ candle lit room with different sized candles.) Honorable mentions: 1. Marble variants for stuffed bugs 2. Founders pack outfits allowed on armor dummies for extra founder pack buyer swag. ( kind of like the shelf customization option)

Also allow the founders pack outfits to be put on the armor dummies for extra swag..

Quartzite or marble upgrades for the stuffed bugs would be cool too (marble mostly haha)

I'm glad to hear impeachment calls are starting to come out for Kristi Noem. I mean she is just throwing around the domestic terrorist label at every protester in the country, so maybe she isn't fit to be the director of Homeland Security. I'd imagine messing up her coffee order can get you on a watchlist.

Whew, won by the skin of their teeth. It's always a battle against the Rams.

the point is to trigger the libs. if you comment, then they laugh at you being owned. maga exists because trump gave people an outlet for their outrage and grievance. maga doesn't need grocery prices lowered or reasonable health care anywhere near as much as they want their neighbor's cow to die and for libs to be owned. HA! Good Fun!

Hi all — quick follow-up to say thank you. Your insights were genuinely excellent and pushed me to actually commit to a solo run instead of only theorycrafting. I started the run aiming to eventually reach the “crit loop” territory, but the path I ended up taking was a Forbidden Fist / Steel Garrote (Monk/Paladin) — partly because I wanted a easy-to-play solo chassis (Deep Faith, Lay on Hands, Brand Enemy for long fights), and partly because I was curious if I could later get the crit-loop to heal me without a late game Sanguine Great Sword - It didn't work, as the "proc-hits" don't proc healing from Steel Garrote. Curiously, in my combat log the extra attacks often appear before the Forbidden Fist line. Early game reality check: getting the crit engine to feel “online” before you accumulate a lot of gear is still hard. In Port Maje, I played medium shield+dagger modal. Once I reached Neketaka, things improved a lot after picking up Devil of Caroc Breastplate and Tuotilo’s Palm. I tried to start using Sun and Moon early, but low accuracy/damage divided by two felt like I was paying the “split damage” tax without the crit frequency to justify it yet. Squid’s Grasp (cannot be flanked) plus Acc Modal helped a lot with consistency from levels 7 and until now. I’m level 14 now and my next plan is pushing toward Sayuka to secure Mohorā Tanga (and then progress Principi content for Scordeo’s Edge). The bounty for The Steel Preacher (for Boltcatchers) still feels out of reach at the moment. It’s honestly hard not to feel tempted by other multiclass routes for the same solo run — Wizard self-buffing into martial, a Skald angle (“will Skald go brrr?”), or even Ranger accuracy-stacking (Marked Prey / Stalker’s Link / Accurate Wounding Shot-style reliability), besides the ever great Fighter for Unbending, Stances and Intuitive. FF Monk kinda feels good, beside not looking optimal. Lots of resolve sounds safe, on demand interrupts is nice (why didn't I go Tactician instead of paladin, again?) and crush damage without changing gear is lazy and great. I'm eager to get Mohora and start wrecking havoc with Enfeeble+Stun. Thanks again.

So I decided to try playing G2 on the couch with a controller! This in turn actually broke my entire game as the second I wanted to switch back to my KB+M only the keyboard worked as expected. My mouse is now being detected as a gamepad can we get some kind of fix for this as literally nothing works short of a full reinstall which is absolutely ridiculous to do over something that unreal should already have built in. Sorry if I sound angry but I've spent 2 got danged hours trying to get it working. I've been able to get it happening again on my main pc via just turning on the controller using it at all then trying to use the mouse.

possible more terrible than when we first began recommending boardies read fox story comments more than five years past, the maga movement has shifted distinctly... we were 'bout to say "right," but the truth is the direction taken is unhinged. fox remains the most popular news source for the US populace. period. however, much o' maga and other trump supporters consider fox too woke. most candice owns and nick fuentes content is too extreme for fox. benny johnson and matt walsh is fact-free and controversial enough so that their being given regular gigs on fox is current impossible. and, God help us, am wondering how many young trump voters is more influenced by the tate brothers than brett baier. in 2026, fox is the relative safe space for people attempting to gauge what maga believes as 'posed to what might be gleaned from polls. even so, at least once a week, or whenever something terrible happens (daily?) we go to fox and read stories. we then scroll through the comments following those stories to see how the issues is resonating with people who follow news at the country's most popular news outlet. disquieting. npr and pbs stories is all fake news and anybody who quotes those sources is sheeple... though am suspecting sheeple is now a boomer shibboleth. anybody know what is the genz version o' sheeple? HA! Good Fun!

https://www.salon.com/2026/01/25/those-rights-dont-count-bovino-says-pretti-forfeited-2nd-amendment-rights-in-fatal-shooting/ Wish someone would ask Bovino what's with his cosplay.

pants on fire "And on Pahlavi, taking the first ten search engine results for reza pahlavi (exc wikipedia/ brittanica and revapahlavi.org) over the past four days," followed by a list o' quotes. that ain't context and it is all you said. well, the underlined part is true. he is getting almost no meaningful coverage whatsoever. iran+protests yields no pahlavi returns for lede or headline from the first 120 results. even when iranian tv gots shut down by hackers who support him, or when he gave an hour long news conferences, you wouldn't know about such unless you were active already looking for pahlavi. furthermore, fact that pahlavi is the only opposition leader who has received appreciable coverage doesn't mean he is getting the "embiggen" treatment from western media. after all, pahlavi is the only opposition leader getting appreciable coverage from non-wester media as well. duh. as already observed, as with blm and hong kong, these movements don't need leaders. pahalavi gets coverage (dwindling and pathetic as 'posed to an effort to embiggen,) 'cause there aren't other options. the coverage he is getting (as evidenced in the articles you failed to link and attribute) is equivocal and ambivalent about pahlavi's real relevance to the current iranian movement, a reality you purposeful and deceitful ignored... a fact apparent if you bothered to read the articles you generated with your search. so, lazy or liar? and around we go. HA! coming from the clown who has been focused on your idiotic (and objective wrong) lede and summary definitions schtick for how many posts? serious, this is always entertaining, even if the returns diminish quick. HA! Good Fun!

It's more of an inevitable than a predictable. Doesn't even really need to be conservative though, at least as a political designation. To whit: centrist darling Emmanuel Macron and his approach after the 2024 French elections. He pretty clearly would have preferred to work with the far right over the left, if he had to work with one.

You were given the context. Saying you weren't doesn't change that. Again, that is how you indicate a trend; it's not by cherry picking results nor by doing a general search for, lol, iran + protests. The trend about Pahlavi's coverage is clear as it's also clear that he's the only Iranian opposition leader that has had any appreciable coverage at all. I cannot say I'm surprised that you don't know how to indicate a trend though, given our previous interactions. It's not particularly rigorous but it's easily replicable- and to be blunt, you simply aren't worth the effort required for proper rigour nor for quoting of ten fricking articles. Whatever is provided I know you'd just go off on a tangent and end up repeating the same thing over and over in the hope I'll give up; so it's a waste of time.

Happy Belated to Razor1911

I vote for the Black Company.

Thinking about starting Black Company or Broken Earth. Also want to get this https://www.dragonsteelbooks.com/collections/leatherbound-books/products/the-eye-of-the-world-leatherbound. But I don't want to pay something like 350 euros for it... Need to find a mule to get it to me from the US.
