You can get silencers and actual assault rifles and even machine guns here in the US but you have to go through the gov't and they are pretty pricey increasing from left to right as I listed them. Not sure if you guys have a different definition of assault rifles but ours is based on firing function and caliber not cosmetic or ease of use features. Now our assault weapons definitions vary by locality and always include cosmetic and ease of use features I'm generally for expanding the SCOTUS though I think it should be in a phased approached so one person/party can't stack the deck. I also think they need to adopt a code of ethics and having more members will allow them to recuse themselves more easily as I've seen that excuse used before as to why they haven't when they probably should have. But that's just like my opinion, man.

My favorite gin drink is something I like to call the Bombay Sapphire and you don't have to use Bombay Sapphire gin either. Gin and a dry ginger ale and just enough blue curacao to make it the same color as the bottle the drink is named after. Sweet without being cloying and as strong as you want to make it. I generally serve it on the rocks.

GOG said March 31 2020 but I'm pretty sure it's just a placeholder

I thought Owlcat did a good job in their first outing because even though the game was super buggy it was a lot of fun. I think maybe they went with a dev with a shooter background to make sure the gunplay/combat is solid and they've brought in both Mitsoda and Avellone which makes me feel warm and fuzzy about the story. I've already drank the Kool-Aide and put 90 quatloos on the highest edition. Just an FYI so you know my bias

Seems like Mitsoda is involved as well

I just pre-ordered Bloodlines 2 on GOG. But it looks like it's also on Steam and Epic. Paradox store too but I guess that was pretty obvious.

Have any red or even purple states signed on? If not then I don't see the point really as those blue state votes are going Dem anyways

Thanks for that, LC. Today was the first day I ever opened it on purpose and all I did was install a free game and play it for all of 2 minutes.

The self loathing? Spent half the day putting whatever dangerous chemical concoction on the stairs only to have a dog freak out and bum rush the kiddie gate I had up and ruin most of my work. Also, making a pot roast with the recipe I got from Gromnir. Smells so good I might have to go dark side instead of light side even though chicken soft tacos are on the menu tonight.

Good on NZ I guess. Not really how I would go about it but then there's probably a reason I'm not in charge of anything. Would prefer to make guns harder to obtain rather than harder to use

Not sure exactly as all I have is Win 10 but I'd guess it's not built into the OS. Not sure if they can't just use the web store https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/games/windows

I just tested the Windows store and I didn't hate it. Nothing to download, sign up for, or configure. Just putting that out there for those that don't want Epic or to install an additional client

I just installed a game from the MS store for the first time just to test it. Easy peasy, nothing extra to DL, and pretty fast too. I'm not really all that interested in TOW though because even though Fallout is probably my favorite video game series of all time, see my username, I could never get into the newer ones. Not even New Vegas.

I typically do 5 sets of 20 throughout the day. A set when I wake up, a few at work because my job is so sedentary, and the last one at night. I do Marine Corps push ups though which is a 4 count push up and is basically 2 normal push ups. Everything else is pretty much determined as the day goes on because I'm lay capital Z and self loathing can only take me so far

Again, I'm going to need examples because it sounds to me like you mean a few different things like buying Steam keys elsewhere or having access to game that is no longer sold but once was (GOG does this too when games are pulled). A store page is not the same thing. Unless I'm still misunderstanding you it seems unlikely that Obs/MS/PD will put the game on Steam at launch (and update and support it there) and sell Steam keys a year before they will allow Steam to sell it and that's if Steam even allows it. It may not be an impossible thing to do but I think it would be very unlikely as currently it's a timed semi-exclusive to their own store (MS Store) and Epic

If you mean adding a non-Steam game to Steam then that's a different thing altogether If you mean something else then I'll probably need an example as I am not an expert on Steam policies and practices

Is that a serious question? The game will not be on Steam for a year after launch and you can buy it from MS at launch so probably not. Sorta like buying a Valve game from Steam and expecting a UPlay key.

To the OP's first point, Obsidian is now part of Microsoft and you can get the game directly from them without Epic. I can understand your disappointment of it not being sold at the store of your choice at launch because as someone who prefers GOG that is my life.

I used to do Bikram Yoga but now I do mostly pre-natal yoga at home whenever my wife feels up to it I also try to do at least 100 push-ups a day along with some other body weight exercises. I probably need to do more weights but as I get older I find it harder to be consistent with my workouts. The motivation just isn't there most of the time. Looking for a new martial arts studio near my house as my old BJJ spot is just too far for me now

I thought the pet was an owlcat rather than an owlbear. Owl face and wings on a cat's body.

VtM announcement tomorrow?

I don't mind any of them really I'm a crazy dog person. Even I think it's ridiculous how much I spend on them but no lie my dogs are my best friends. I'm a country boy though and animals vastly outnumbered people where I grew up and the people weren't all that great.

For some reason I read that as her once and future husband Is it sad that a certain scene from End of Days just came to mind? I need help
