I would love for there to be an Aldis here. Got WinCo and their prices and quality are really good. I almost never shop at Walmart or Smith’s (Kroger) anymore.
I’ve watched some here and there, but having to try to catch them when they stream has put me too much in the mind of old tv and catching shows when they air. Watching the recording afterward is maybe good for some white noise, but it’s clearly not the intended experience I think.
Exactly. There were a couple of small streamers I used to watch on Twitch and joined their Discord servers. It was a blast for a while but my work schedule changed and I was unable to watch/participate as much.
It’s definitely better live and being able to participate in some way.

Despite my love and appreciation for the Barenaked Ladies, one should just drink fancy Dijon ketchups and not bother with the Kraft Mac and Cheese to begin with.
What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?
It’s like people forgot how many Americans died during the height of the pandemic because T**** is a fucking idiot.
Anyone who is even remotely near the crosshairs of the Christofascists needs to pull their head out of their ass and vote Democrat this election.
The Republicunts don’t care if you think “both sides are bad” if you’re LGBTQ+, atheist, non-Christian, think abortion should be freely available, etc.
Ideals and principles don’t stop bullets or beatings.
I’ve been very busy with work the last few months so I haven’t really played any games, but things are finally starting to get back to normal a bit and I wanted to try this RPG. I played it a bit when it came out but decided to really dive into it this time. Just wondering if there’s anyone here who’s played it and has...
I’ve played it off GamePass a few times since it was released.
Is it a great game? Not at all. Is it entertaining? Yes.
The characters are all a little odd in different ways, making it interesting to try different combos for parties, depending on what you think you might be running into.
I told myself that I was going to spend more time with my other companions but I almost always have Parvati with me.
Depending on how you build your character initially, you’ll find that you’ll want different companions for different tasks. That means some backtracking but there is some fast travel and I know I’ll miss loot at times, so it’s usually worth it.
Definitely not open world but that’s okay if you don’t have hours to spend wandering down a track only to find some BS loot.
Dialogue options do make a difference and that is what kept me going back. All the “I wonder what’ll happen if I …” is fun to explore.
Again, the customer is always right - in matters of style and taste.
I think some of them are genuinely mentally ill - borderline personality, schizophrenic, narcissistic - and would be fine with the right therapist and meds.
The rest, probably a melange of desperate, ignorant and proud.
