HA! Maybe firefighters, but EMS gets to sit around the firehouse once in a bloody blue moon. The 24 hour shifts suck, because the chances of you actually getting to sleep during the night hours are incredibly low.
Sure, there are going to be differences based on where you are working, but generally EMS is nearly call-to-call.
We as a species, is losing to whatever the “internet” is. We need real regulation.
And none of that regulation will have anything to do with age, if you want real effectiveness. A teenager seeing a dick and a dick, a vagina and a vagina, or a dick and a vagina, being mashed together isn’t concerning in the big picture. The stuff that is worrying about the internet affects adults just as much as children, like social media.
As someone else who doesn’t shave the armpit, my experience is similar. Less of a soul patch and more of a threadbare patch of dying grass though.
I mean… a little bit of that is a good game design. I’d rather have some things that are just ‘characters living their own lives in universe’ rather than everything revolving around the character’s effect on the world. Fromsoft just goes overboard with some of it.
Oh, god, yes. I got one of the mechanic simulators with a bundle, and it just boggles my mind that someone would put time into it. Why would you want to simply click highlighted parts in order?
It’s the nebulous lore part that really gets me. Other games have done the items=lore part before, but weren’t so fart-sniffing about it.
I think fromsoft shot themselves in the foot there. I really enjoyed dark souls 2 because there were a lot of enemies that your positioning and movement were more important than spamming dodge at the exact right time. Then 3 and elden ring came out, and it’s just ocarina of time, except instead of across hyrule field it’s across the anime glowing lines.
Heroes of the storm wasn’t too bad, but I never got into the competitive aspects, and that’s usually where things get bad.
I’m generally fine with microtransactions replacing some grind, just because I’ve finally reached a point in my life where I don’t want to dedicate 20 hours a week to a game for months. It mostly boils down to whether the game is wasting players’ lives to drive money from them. SOME games make the grind fun and worth playing, and thus I don’t really care. If the game’s fun isn’t locked behind a gate that requires significant time investment, then you’re not really harming players by having a grind. If the game isn’t fun in the meantime, and the cost is too much (and basically anything more than a dollar or two is), then I can go find another game.
Because you already have the other answers: OSRS. He just misspelled it ;)
I’ve had it pegged as one of my “under $5 and I’ll grab it” games. I’m glad to hear someone say something about it at all, as it had seemed like it had just disappeared.
One of my friends was fired at work for similar. I was pissed when I found out why he had suddenly disappeared. It wouldn’t have surprised me if the management was happy to get rid of an openly gay man by way of saying he was associating the company with political comments.
Aye, I remember trying subnautica on my friend’s computer, and being happy enough with the game as it was then to buy it. That’s still my ‘test’ for buying early access games: would I be happy if the developers literally died today and nothing more was done with it, OR is it less than $5 and I’m really happy with what progress has been made towards the game that I want?
The way programs are presented on a touch screen, and the actions they are taking inside of an application also being very fundamentally different in a gui sense, is surely to blame. I’m not upset about someone’s lack of understanding in that, really, in the sense of a generation alpha, but millenials, who had computer classes in just about every school in america thanks to apple and microsoft competing to get them hooked, give me major grumbles.
Anecdotes aren’t data, I know. My romance novels might be just a small drop of the ocean and I’ve gotten screwed, but I just find all of the ones I’ve read to be bad reading. Plot-driven characters that lead to the same sex scenes. If your wife is getting variety, I’m jealous.
I know the answer, but seriously? Are there this many people that still believe an actor’s personal views, tastes, or experiences are the same as the character they portray?
She was acting, dude, and so was he.
Snape was one of the few characters that felt ‘real.’ Like, yeah, I could imagine a half-abused kid forever being haunted by what he did in a gang when he realized his unrequited love towards one of the few people who were nice to him as a kid was never going to have a chance… because his gang fucking killed her.
Interesting. I have had a fair bit of experience with romance novels, and the ‘dirty’ part is always so bland and rehashed that you could substitute one book’s writing in for another’s with no problems.
Yes, yes, now go donate some more money to your turtlenecks so they can pass it along to trump.
…Yes, they suck, but don’t you dare take my long shifts away from me. The delicious nature of the suckage of a long shift is that you then have a long break.
