no no thats not the bullshit part.. the bullshit part is they call it the CROSS button in documentation, but for 30 years never wrote it out that way
To make it clear, a catch begins sometime in the Cretaceous period, where it dies, is covered by sediment, and slowly becomes a part of the geological strata, overtime compression and gravity, transform it into a semi-catch, which over millions of years will one day solidify into a full catch
bike helmet might be better depending on how its rated?
i think the loudest folks are so protective of her because to THEM she is their entire experience of music i heard those first 2 albums on repeat for YEARS just because i had sisters.. they never stuck with it.. but imagine never giving up and being able to track every lyric since you were 8 or w/e
gosh im so sorry
i become such a childish baby whos worried no one will ever talk to me again every time i try and send to send a pitch email.
if your reflex when you read anything isn't 'hmmm.. whos the person who wrote this?' i really think you should fix it.
Steam settings--> in game--> uncheck ENABLE STEAM OVERLAY should fix it. if not let me know :)
Got some Skate coverage for ya. Spent a lot of time with the early access build and it's a weird one to fully break down! The core is solid, but it's sometimes hard to tell what around that is a work in progress and what's intended. Some thoughts! www.polygon.com/skate-hands-...
getting a new wheelchair has basically devolved into a pissing match between my case manager and my doctor over paperwork.. i think my doctor just has incorrect contact info.. im very hopeful that this will be fixed soon, but its very stressful to have to be the go between for 2 very overworked ppl.
Hey y’all, I forgot about my energy bill and need it paid by Saturday. 🙃 $0/$60 $sparklefists @ashley-leckwold PayPal.me/aleckwold buffertimeexchange.square.site (all orders go towards goal, use UNLUCKY for 30% off) 💕💸
its the Reposting without any Thematic Connection Folks that get me
said like soup?
sure.. but i just mean culturally.. none of the disipline you learn ever has anything to do with finding ways to treat people better.. you're moved from station to station like a child star if you do well.. you see the same disrespect in basketball and soccer with much less trauma.
you see this so much in wrestling.. everyone swore to god the guy who played Kane was super smart, and it turns out Glenn Jacobs is just a diet soda trump guy.. when the bar is in the basement everything looks impressive.
its tough to look at Kelce as anything other than a good guy in the context of the NFL when it has so many problems around violence toward women.. he's great BY COMPARISON.. but that doesn't really mean much and all i can do is hope that, being that close to someone changes you enough.
does your head explode when you discover that american shows used to be like 20 episodes a season? :P <3
Really feels like the mood around gaudy premium skins, the backbone of the entire live-service machine, is turning sour in a lasting way. www.pcgamer.com/every-time-a...
Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, but
restrictive how? ive never used video here whats it look like?
*whispers*.. its because Greg is Skip Bayless
i feel the exact same about tony hawk
hey question: how do you get to this option to share your game? can you go into your backlog or does it always have to be the most recent game you played?
all of the marketing around this years NBA 2K is about 'skill gap' and tbh whenever i read skill gap it comes across as really ableist specifically in NBA 2K bc it requires so much more of you mechanically than EA FC or madden.. and like i don't know how to like yell about that in a constructive way
putting out a call here thats a longshot because most of the community is on twitter: Are there any physically disabled players that play NBA 2K regularly every NBA 2K creator is the most unhinged about whatever specific discipline of the game they enjoy.. i just wanna talk to some1 who gets it 1/2
we don't have ANY of the benefits y'all think we do.
Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.
im rooting for you
i did not get drunk for this review lol
the work you do matters.. every time i come into your stream i feel smarter because you either showed me a game i didnt know about, or said something in a new way i hadn't thought about before. you can't fail because you've already done the work.
resets the I DROPPED MY CONTROLLER ON THE FLOOR AND NOW I HAVE TO GET DOWN TO GRAB IT counter back down to 0 :(
is he a sports guy.. if so pablo torre is probably the best in terms of 'wow that actually taught me something' if hes not super into sports.. heres just an episode with will forte so it shouldnt miss www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvON...
My new favorite college football tradition: watching every July complaint about the allegedly unrealistic CFB video game become real. So many dropped passes. Oh here we go with the scripted rubber banding. Why is it raining again. Fix it EA
the persona art except this time everyone in the fam is a balatro card
people confuse 'fight' and deathmatch' so often
by thumbnail alone im already locked in.
i need lore here
im not seeing anything that looks like that on desktop rn.. im so worried now XD
all I want is the real tangible ability to actually help people
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh omg im so so happy for you!
i played the game wrong thats on me lol
final fantasy X would probably be Sin of the Father
joe burrow pump faked like a madden player: totally by accident and then forgot he was walking backwards
partner application except they have to follow the exact same path as emperors new groove.. because you're worth that adventure.
you have to eat to stay alive, therefor anything you eat is healthy.
arch manning trying to move nearly half the time after the first season is so funny
Talked with some developers about what the fight around itch means to them and what they want to do next.
discords new notification thing makes me so icked out.. but i dont see a way to get rid of it.. i just want my notifications in the same spot for everything.. i hate change.. i wish i wasnt such a baby about every change. but i just am
which one.
goth peaches is my new etc etc XD
i normally dont dedicate review text to a soundtrack.. but if EA keeps up this pace i may actually have to in the future.. because you can feel it's trying in a way it hasnt in a decade.
it says a lot about me that everything you're saying is 100% right.. but something about it being a turn based game makes me just overlook everything else.. i genuinely think the larger atlus brand at this point is comfortable gameplay systems rather than story.
we need mediocre rep just as badly as good rep i guess. *sigh*
theres what appears to be a mecha version of super sonic in the middle of the river near my home XD wplace.live for folks reading the thread
it bothers me so deeply that we are in a work culture where you have to search the specific date to find the correct info on a set of layoffs.. because other layoffs happened at the same company A WEEK AGO. read that outloud and try not to crumble.
oh my god its the 'get rid of plastic straws' thing but somehow 800 times less effective
hi! I'm working on a series about "Signs of the Sojourner." If you've played the game, don't need to have finished it -- want to take a few minutes and fill out a survey for me? All are welcome. (If you want to take this opportunity to rustle it up and play it, that's also great!!)
WHILE WE'RE HERE: the game awards lumping SPORTS & RACING into a single category.. as if NBA 2K and forza horizon have any similar design goals is bananas to me.. and would be called out more if people gave the same legacy respect to madden or NHL 94 as they do mario and donkey kong.
my father telling me to get on linkdin is the worst thing hes ever done to me.
love and solidarity with you as someone currently stuck with an ear that wont pop.. minor annoyances like this destroy me
resets the counter on *NUMBER OF DAYS SINCE MY PILLS SPILLED ALL OVER MY DESK* back to 0
it could be worse it could be cars 2 or 3

i also few blocking as a neutral action.. i do it when i feel as tho i would (maybe unfairly) blow up at someone.. its not a hater thing. its trying to minimize the things i get upset about
my "i block people who only follow and dont like anything" rule also applies if you follow a bananas level of people. i genuinely think you need help if you follow EIGHTY THOUSAND accounts my friend.
im sure there's like algorythms that say if you use enough adobe effects you increase watch time bc either, a certain person is entranced by it and finds it soothing, and then a certain person is trying to figure out if that image is full AI or just a regular shop.
as a person who doesnt like how he looks most days.. i feel the desire to just do voice over forever and never reveal yourself.. i think thats valid but i feel like if you hire an editor i should believe you like them and they arent being forced to edit you the exact same way as his 9 other clients.
random aside brought on by watching too many youtube videos today: if your primary trick in editing your video is to be as flashy as possible and just use stock images to match the words you are saying.. i don't trust you. people used to act like Jump Cut Editing was the big no no but this is worse
me: oh i don't really think about music all that much.. musicals are my least favorite genre also me: spends hours going down a rabbit hole that started with kermit the frog singing Rainbow Connection
you find community in it.. and you build what you can.. sometimes you take breaks.. but you never stop letting yourself be who you want to be.. a person who cares.
for context.. hes was a baseball player who was good at the exact timeframe he was dating her.. but he certainly isnt like the favorite player of the kids going to the little league world series.
i relate to a lot of this bc there's so much about the way we talk about disability thats stuck in the 90s in the BAD way.. not to mention people trying to re enable the R slur. my heart hates 'special needs/education' but my brain knows those terms are so deep in culture idk what to do.
we are just NOW getting to the point where you MIGHT, MAYBE see a wheelchair using NPC in an open world game. i'm begging these bafoons who think that is 'too woke' to figure out how many of us there actually are.
i choose to fry my brain in the @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social bacon greese when i watch ohio state thank you very much
CW death I miss you every day Theron. I hate a lot of whats happened since you've been gone but I do my best to remember the way you could make everyone laugh.. i try to bring everyone I meet that same happiness.
safe travels
you're really good at all of these
*waves*
you're so pretty <3
hey. hi. im sorry WHAT happens????
at least a fake ass watch can be made to tell real ass time.. its really a shame that people dont care about digital fakes.. at least knock off toys are still toys
mom i finally made it i got my first bot account DM
you should be naming and shaming bc why the entire fuck is anyone complaining about what gets written for free
the NY accent hits hard here (complimentary)
oh noooooooooooo im so sorry.
see normally im here with you on this.. i didnt get into mr robot or breaking bad or insert whatever mega hit here.. its just that based on the little i know about you you would like it probably.. watching 75 people do that to you at once is probably overwhelming tho i get it.
If you are a developer or writer or artist whose work has been affected by mass delisting etc. I would love to chat with you about your experience and concerns, dm me or email me at contact [at] graceinthemachine [dot] com.
keep his memory alive always feels like a tough thing.. i knew him as a child in a very limited capacity for like 5 summers at summer camp.. but as 2 disabled people thats the only way we could have known each other. i always worry i sound like a mother making content about her kids if i talk abt it
its nearly augest ill be doing my best to take my regular break to observe the passing of my friend theron doing my best to work on personal projects that may start in the fall if you're inner circle & have my discord i dont mind chatting there just know my mood is very day to day this time of year
thus far the hardest part about relearning chess has been making a move and then realizing like 8 seconds later you had a better option.. the good news is that is the primary skill i want to improve.. the bad news is it feels like thats the slowest skill improving atm
i need a feature that shows up inside youtube so that whenever they rec someone ive never watched before.. i can get a vibe check on them somehow without clicking the video.. i need like the netflix system that is like we're 82% sure you're going to like this.
i dont think you needed to do that.. i looked it up.. posted that link.. then about 8.5 seconds later i discovered the WHY of why you were asking lol
according to the ESRB website it isnt www.esrb.org/ratings/2060...
you got it no problem
wumbology.. the study of wumbo
that makes sense.. i was worried it was a show currently running.. still jarring tho how pervasive a lot of that stuff was.
dare i ask who did it this time?
