Don’t order pizza. We ordered pizza from Pizza Hut while we were down there because it was too windy for grilling at our place and it was the worst pizza I’ve ever had.
I think you can do a bunch with jedi/sith, but you have to use the force for something more interesting than pushing things and jumping pretty high. The extended universe novels had all sorts of cool shit force users could do with it. They should lean in to that kind of stuff.
I completely agree - force users should be few and far between, but if you’re going to put a Jedi Master or Sith Lord onscreen they should be goddamn impressive. It would be something you became creative with while mastering, but all we see them do is hop around and shove stuff.

Couldn’t explain it, really; I just want to grab the person and explain that Taco Bell (or whatever) is not an object you can get some of, and Taco Bell doesn’t sell Taco Bells in any amount, they sell tacos! (In the voice you would speak to a toddler in, of course)

This is very close to my workplace but we have about 17 domains to work across, with a separate account for each. It’s frustrating sometimes, but in the end I get paid the same either way.
West of Dead is a really fun game. It’s a cover-based twin-stick shooter, so there’s a top-down view and you crouch behind cover in between shooting bad guys. It’s also a roguelike, so you get random weapons each run and unlock permanent perks with the currency you collect. I’m typically terrible at roguelikes but I fell...
To anyone looking to check this out, it’s built like Curse of the Dead Gods. Ifbyou like that you’ll like this I imagine. I only have a few hours in so far but I’ll definitely burn some time playing this.
