That TV Topic
I think I'm losing interest in the Marvel Netflix stuff. I struggled with Iron Fist and Defenders, and I've even stalled out on my favorite character; the Punisher. I don't think I can start another.

Random questions to black people
White guys need a voice in this world Grommie. This is one of the few places we can be heard. Since I'm posting, I might as well give my input... Personally I prefer when games give as much choice as possible on character creation. I tend to play a character I can identify with, and it rubs me wrong when I'm forced to play someone I don't like. It isn't like watching a movie, I'm actually controlling that person. For example I can't stand Geralt. I'd probably love playing in The Witcher universe, but I can't get into playing that pale SOB. I think it is actually easier for a developer to give more choice, because you are going to appeal to a broader group. If you are developing a game with a very specific narrator, it is a bigger challenge because you need to make the character appealing in a very general sense.

Ah yes, how dare someone fantasize inappropriately in fantasy roleplaying games.

All of my cloth stuff falls apart quickly. I know I can repair armor and weapons, but am I missing some sort of way to repair shoes, gloves, and jackets? I also need to find some better ways to make money. I'm broke all the time. At least I can read now, that was a neat way to handle that in game.

My kids watched Han Solo get killed by his son, so I think they will be alright.

What are you playing right now?
I thought AC: Origins was amazing looking. The setting helped, of course. But yeah, the story (or motivation, rather) was problematic. That seems to be typical for AC games though.

I kind of love how the Far Cry team doesn't just add extra content, they create entirely different and wacky settings for their expansions.

I take short showers, but I take about 3 a day, so that probably adds up to a lot.

It has a lot to do with PR. Will more people fly with Delta because they took a stance against the NRA? Will those numbers compensate for possible sales lost? What type of consumer reaction will Georgia be subject to? I actually trust that Delta's PR machine has a better grasp of the situation than the state of Georgie.

The Weird, Random or Interesting Things That Fit Nowhere Else Thread
I've been noticing that people are reacting to me differently now that I am in much better shape than I was a few years ago. It seems that I may be less approachable. I don't believe my demeanor has changed, or if it has, I'd say it has changed for the better as I feel more positive and energetic. However I've noticed my typical smile and greetings are not returned in the same manner as they used to be. I mentioned this to my wife and she put out an interesting theory. Men who are a bit overweight are more approachable and considered friendlier (jolly?) and more intelligent. Fit men are seen as gym rats and muscleheads. It is reversed for women. An overweight woman is seen as lazy and not intelligent, while a fit woman receives much more positive attention, particularly from males. At least, that this her theory. But I am finding it to be true. Ah well, I will console myself by staring at my abs in the mirror.

Can you serve the time? Otherwise I'd reload. The save system in this game does freak me out. I find myself looking for a bed every time I do something even remotely productive. I've been killing a lot of bandits while they are asleep, or rather while they are in a state of undress as I wake them up with my sword. I feel only a bit bad about that.

Has anyone voiced support for that? Other than a few of our European folks who just say ban guns altogether.

I'd argue that all pledges are more ceremonial than about any actual technical specifications, but there are some systematic changes they are making to be more responsible as a seller of firearms: - No sales to anyone under 21 - No high capacity magazines In terms of the assault rifle, or what they refer to as a modern sporting rifle, that could very well be a symbolic move rather than a technical one. Still, it positions them as a responsible gun vendor, even if only symbolically. I think that is a good move to make for them. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but over half a million people liked their post, another 200k loved it, and only 34k hated it according to the very scientific facebook like button. I don't think this will suddenly end mass shootings. But it is refreshing to see major gun sellers taking a responsible stance. The NRA does the exact opposite in these situations.

Since I posted the last one: I gotta be honest, it seems like they are knocking it out of the park from a PR perspective with this stuff. I mean it may seem like common sense to encourage responsible gun ownership, but far too much of the narrative is dominated by absolutists
