It could screw with your body, it also could be exactly what your body needs. I'm a firm believer that there is no such thing as a one size fits all diet, as everybody's body chemistry is different and they will react to diets differently. The only way to truly find out is to try it. If nothing else, I'm hoping that if I wind up going back to a more balanced diet, this carniovore stint helps get me away from sugars. I mean, naturally occurring sugars such as the lactose in milk or the fructose in fruit I'll likely be cool with if I go back to a balanced diet, but hopefully this helps me eliminate added sugars, such as the sugar put into coffee or tea, sugary soft drinks, candy, cookies, etc. Anyway, I dry rubbed some pork chops earlier today with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and parsley and I just pan fried one in the bacon grease I had left over from the bacon I cooked this morning. Delicious.

The Packers better find an answer for the Niners rushing attack and they better find it REAL soon. Edit: Ouch. Just when the Pack had a promising drive going they turn it over. Barty, Mannock, blink twice if you're still OK. Packers have to stop the Niners right here. If San Fran scores a TD off this fumble I think the game is just over. Okay, this game is OVER. Sorry Barty and Mannock. Handsome Jimmy doesn't need to throw another pass in this game, the Niners run blocking is out of this world spectacular.

Patrick Mahomes II is a MONSTER. That run to score a TD and take the lead near the end of the half was ridiculous. Edit: It's the start of the 4th quarter and the Chiefs are poised to score and put you down by 11; if you're Mike Vrabel, is this the time to cut your **** off? Chiefs go up by 18, GGWP. Not even **** cutting will save the Titans now. Mahomes is just too damn good.

The first Desperados is really great, the second, less so.

@vyvexthorne @melkathi I loved Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, it was my 2016 GotY. The team that made that game is currently working on Desperados 3, which is one of my most anticipated upcoming games.

I'm trying out the carnivore diet, started yesterday. I'm not doing the super hardcore version where people aim for ZERO carbs, so they avoid milk and other dairy products that contain lactose (which is a sugar), I'm drinking milk, which is basically my only source of carbs. I'm not super strict about it, I drink coffee, which is obviously not an animal product, and I plan to have some vodka later today, which comes from potatoes or grain, potatoes in this case. So, you know, there will be some calories from non-animal products, but my goal is 95%+ of my calories coming from meat, fish, eggs, cheese, milk, etc. I'm sure cutting out veggies, grains and stuff will leave me deprived of some stuff, so I'm making sure to take a daily multivitamin to cover my bases there. I will say I've had some unpleasant trips to the bathroom (I'll spare you the details) today, but I expected that. Any time you drastically change your diet, there's going to be a period where your body goes through shock. In this case my body is yelling at me "I'm cool with the bacon and eggs and milk and beef, but where the **** are the potatoes and bread and onions and cabbage? Where the **** are my carbs!? The lactose ain't cutting it by itself!" Anyway, hopefully it works out and I have the willpower to stick with it.

I am fascinated by musical artists such as Primus or Björk, just to name another one. Folks who make music that is completely alien and counter to what makes music appealing to the mainstream (these days, at least) and yet briefly become mainstream popular on the sheer weight of their talent. I will freely admit that some of their songs don't appeal to me, they are just too far out there for my limited brain to appreciate, but, once in a while, they produce something that clicks and is so astoundingly amazing that no amount of ignorance on my part can override its brilliance. I have a great appreciation for these artists trying weird and experimental ideas, even if 99 out of 100 miss, because that 1 that hits is so worth it.

Rodgers has been quietly not that great this year, but he's still the QB left in the playoffs that scares me the most in a late game pressure situation just because I have lived through the slasher film horrors of him ripping the beating heart out of the chest of muh Boys... multiple times. The mental scars have not healed.

If the Titans win the superbowl, will other coaches talk about cutting off their own genitalia?

Forget about Bhaal or Sarevok, the true God(dess) of Murder is Lara Croft: I ain't even gonna lie, I'm generally not into the killing portions of these games, but when she rose out of the water with the flames behind her and vengeance in her eyes, I was thinking "Aww yeah, I'm about to murder the **** out of some fools!" And I did.

Death Taxes Video game releases getting delayed

Oh yeah, right there, that's the spot

AFC Championship: Chiefs over Titans - I feel like uncomfortable pickung an Andy Reid team, but they are the overall better squad. Plus, if the same Patrick Mahomes II shows up that played in the divisional round, NOBODY is beating them. NFC Championship: Niners over Packers - Betting against Aaron Rodgers scares me, but the Niners are the best overall team left in the playoffs. Also, Rodgers has been very mortal this season and Jimmy is as handsome as ever.

There's a scene early on where Lara gets captured and it's strongly implied that her captor is about to force himself on her. Then you get a QTE struggle/escape sequence. Lara gets captured, bruised, battered, and beaten quite a bit in the game. Also, it's by far the most combat heavy and tomb raiding light game of the trilogy. There are a handful of challenge tombs that are so easy it's insulting and, if I recall correctly, 1 tomb/temple in the main story to go through.

The bulk of the torture porn was in the 2013 reboot, plus it made it easy to differentiate from the OG game to call it Torture Porn Raider. Rise and Shadow have much less torture porn, mostly the awesomely gruesome death scenes, but I still call them torture porn for consistency.

She looks like a human in that picture.

C-Hox seem to have no answer for Aaron Jones.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Partick Mahomes II is healthy.

There is a clue in one of the bits of lore you find outside.

^ Have you activated the red lights yet?

I have corrupted a fellow forumite into also calling it Torture Porn Raider.

Counterpoint: The long, storied tradition of Andy Reid teams losing playoff games they were supposed to win.

I'm having fun with Shadow of the Torture Porn Raider. From the limited sample size so far I'm finding both the main story temples and the challenge tombs to be the best in the reboot trilogy, hopefully they remain that way throughout the game. Full freedom of movement while underwater makes a welcome return in this game, which is grest since I always enjoyed the underwater parts in the original series. Hopefully I can finish the main campaign before Jan 28th because... As soon as the final act of Kentucky Route Zero releases, I'm diving right into it. I have waited patiently and resisted the urge to play the already released episodes all these long years so that I could play the whole game straight through, and the time is almost here. I can still remember the Kickstarter campaign. It was during the 3rd year of the reign of Emperor Trajan that the campaign was announced and the plebeians and patricians alike tossed their denarius aureus at them.
