  1. If you put on a persona full time, then it isn't really a lie, it is who you are. You might imagine you are someone different in your head, but that is just a fantasy. Sometimes I imagine I'm a really good swordfighter. It doesn't change the fact that I have no idea how to actually use a sword.
  2. I am just loving Yoga Fire now that it is turn based. It makes me way more interested in the equipment and abilities in the game. It was all just a bit of a blur before, but now I can really get a feel for what is happening.
  3. I head Kenshi described as a Mount & Blade Warband type game.
  4. I pulled Shingles on my first draw.
  5. I am not convinced Trump won't find some way to spin this. He was on tape talking about grabbing women by the kitty right before the election, and still won. He defies logic.
  6. That seems self absorbed and insecure at the same time. In reality there is a very small circle of people that have any idea who I am, and if their version is dramatically different than the one in my head, then I either need to communicate better or be less deluded.
  7. Went from an Atari ST to a 386dx. It was a massive jump.
  8. I thought Rogue One was perfect. Totally self-contained story with characters that complete their entire arc in one movie.
  9. I think I said it before, but the Han Solo guy is bad because he is trying to mimic Harrison Ford instead of being his own version of Han. Donald Glover was better at creating his own Lando at least. But it was also just kind of a mess of a story.
  10. Yeah, stop with the childish behavior while playing video games, guys.
  11. TN just destroyed something beautiful.
  12. The Sixth Sense is superb, so you are doing yourself a disservice.
  13. Dark, but hard to stifle that laugh.
  14. Hrm, writing is always a tough one to get over for me. I finally got into Elex lately, but man, the conversations grate on me. Overly wordy nonsense, abrupt translation, or both? I assume its the translation. I can't really judge if it is well written in the native language. Maybe it would be easier to listen to in German and then just have subtitles. I don't know, there is always a period of adjustment for me when dealing with stuff that was clearly not written in English. Good translations are not easy.
  15. Sweet, I have been putting off Yoga Fire for some reason, and now I will wait for TB.
  16. Hrm, writing is always a tough one to get over for me. I finally got into Elex lately, but man, the conversations grate on me.
  17. Also The Adventures of Handi Man. That one probably hasn't held up well in the current social climate.
  18. Which is worse, a bad call or a non-call?
  19. Is it any good?
  20. I would argue that it isn't a straight customer relationship, because it is also falls to the professor to hold you accountable for that information. You are paying for the credit as much as the lessons. The professor isn't just hired to serve the students, they are hired to create and implement a curriculum that will allow the school to give those credits. You then pay the school for that credit. Hopefully those credits are then useful to you in pursuit of a career or financial growth. That's one reason why tenure exists. In most service jobs, keeping the customer happy is a top priority. In education, it is secondary. Realistically if you are just in school for personal growth, you should have the financial flexibility to do so, because you are a hobbyist at that point.
  21. Yeah, I don't have a ton of sympathy for the Saints. You shouldn't be relying on the refs to make a call in order to win a game.
  22. I tell kids all the time about the importance and financial viability of trade schools. Also I talk up agriculture and the transportation industry. But nobody listens to the Social Science teacher.
  23. That would seem to be one of the few corners James Cameron cut then, because that movie wasn't afraid to spend money.
  24. Well there you go, somewhere out there is listening to you Volo!
