    Whoever it was that developed industrial bubble wrap that's all just a single chamber so you can't pop it is a jerk. For five seconds I was the best uncle ever until it became apparent that the massive sheets of bubble wrap I brought home from work were useless for my nephew's intended purposes.

    Why does every companion in Baldur's gate 3 try to kill you at some point? I swear I cannot fall asleep in the game without someone sneaking up to slit my throat or eat me or something. Then there's that girl that I accidentally killed in my sleep whole game is just full of murder hobos for some reason.

    @Puppet Knight not going to lie, its already a tired cliche but well, it's all about the implementation right? Give that hobo a shotgun and he'll be good to go:

    Grandma got tricked by scammers, and now I get to spend my weekend helping her reset all her personal information everywhere because she gave them remote access to her computer and god knows what they have and what all they have access to at this point.

    @Dalph I don't know if I could trust myself to confront a man who targeted my grandmom like that. The idea of preying on the elderly and infirm or children is just viscerally abhorrent to me, I fear I'd likely cross the line in such a confrontation and do something regrettable.

    @Dalph That ####### deserved that
    uppercut. People who do stuff like that are scumbags. Sorry
    for my language but I would just be so incredibly pissed if
    someone did that to one of my grandparents or relatives or
    friends. People like that are like leeches. Their purpose in life
    is to latch onto other people, and suck money, or life, or whatever
    they want out of them.

    Up to 40,000,000 people just became felons by bureaucratic decree today in the US. If you own certain configurations of plastic and velcro, best make sure you aren't risking 10 years behind bars. Just had to take back my mom's mothers day gift from three years ago. Fun times, thanks unelected bureaucrats.

    Thanks for the sympathies and I do apologize for breaking the rules...it just scares me how many people out there have no idea that they are now the worst class of criminal, the majority of them elderly and infirm.

    I know exactly what you're talking about... As a legal gun owner who obeys laws I hate it when this kind of crap happens and the goalposts are constantly shifted. Other than that, I'm not going to say anymore because I like being on this forum.

    Why do people want to use family gatherings as a way to stir up stupid drama as a means of clumsily veiling the fact that they are gold-digging and trying to get her hands on grandma's purse for when she dies? I swear, some people have absolutely no shame and I am ashamed to have to admit that some of those people are family.

    I just openly mock the people who do **** like that. It's not relevant who they are, if my mom acts like a fool I will call her one. She is the one who taught me that anyway xD Ofc, I do it in a way that doesn't implicate others if I can. I know how these people work. But the mocking is also to try to get the people who are being manipulated to see that they are not the unreasonable ones.

    Finnuval said it exactly. Family isn't the worst because it has the worst members, but because you can't ever truly cut ties. As for what I said, I was specifically aiming it at one particular comment. Plus, there's a difference between "mindlessly challenging tradition" and asking questions. And you don't need to 'follow tradition' to keep things civil.

    RE4make almost had me with their demo until I got to the dog stuck in a bear trap and realized that he was dead and could no longer be saved. Just not the kind of reimagining I'm interested in.

    @FrigidGaze Cruel misdirection that cost them a full price sale if that's true. I'll buy it when it hits half off or more like I have with every other re remake. Yes I am a fickle customer to begin with but I legit talked myself out of buying it full price for once when I hit that part of the demo because I'm just kind of petty like that these days.

    Fair, haha. I've definitely been enjoying the game for everything it is--a fun mix of new and old remixed in surprising ways. But can understand if certain elements end up rubbing you the wrong way then. Luckily Capcom games hit deep sales pretty fast if you hold out!

    I kinda think that one misdirection is a silly reason to wait, but given how many good games are on the way, I would definitely be very sure of what you want before purchasing. I'd already have the remake, but Jedi: Survivor is later this month and I want to focus on that first.

    I don't care how unpopular this opinion will likely be here, AI art generation is a fascinating thing that is going to make a lot of amazing things possible to counterbalance the terrifying ones everyone is afraid of.

    Only in America can you see a 6'1 bearded guy in a pink miniskirt with a molle belt with two handguns and a bowie knife strapped across it aggressively demanding to know what everyone who glances at him thinks they're starring at while shopping in the piggly wiggly...at least I assume you wouldn't be able to get that exact configuration much anywhere else.

    Did they think it was beef before you told them? Sounds like it was a misunderstanding, finding out that what you thought you were eating is something different instead can make it hard to continue eating for some people.

    If you are an officer and you just want to go faster than the speed limit can you at least leave the lights on until you are out of sight? Kinda annoying suddenly thinking I'm getting pulled over only for the cop to speed past me as I pull over and then immediately turn his lights back off. At least keep the facade that you are doing something other than breaking the law on the taxpayer dime...

    ...and flagrantly and pettily abusing your power. I mean I'd think that'd be the absolute least you can do, then I could at least delude myself into thinking that maybe you are going to go do something important and actually helpful for someone else.

    I know around here they are allowed to flash their lights when they have an urgent but not very urgent situation to use their emergency light (only lights no siren) to help move traffic along for aslong as that specific traffic situation demands it. That could be the case here too, tho more likely they were just wanting to get to the donutshop faster xD
    Philosophus Vagus
    Philosophus Vagus
    Maybe, seems like if your business was urgent enough to require you to break the law to get to you'd need to keep the flashers on in my opinion, but hey maybe that's not actually the procedure.

    So the other day I saw my sister-in law, niece and nephews in the drive-thru lane behind me and I paid for their order as I got mine. I asked her today if she enjoyed her free meal the other day or paid it forward and she said she didn't get a free meal that day...I'm torn between whether my sister-in-law is a liar or whether the drive thru guy brazenly stole from me.

    Pretty good actually; new house, new job (two mile walk through the woods away from the new house, so no gas for commute which is awesome right now) that isn't likely to leave me crippled by 40.

    I mean this is basically how you get situations like what happened with Halyna Hutchens or Brandon Lee, the "its not real so it doesn't matter" mindset eventually can and demonstrably does lead to real world harm. Sloppy mindset when it doesn't technically matter will easily turn into a sloppy mindset when it does, and you won't know it until after you've screwed up and possibly caused something horrible to happen.

    Watched a video of a kid in China leaning against a giant ceramic teletuby statue (valued at nearly $4000 apparently) in a toy store and everyone arguing whether it's the parents or the store's fault. I'm just sitting up wondering why anyone would make a giant ceramic toddler toy in the first place other than to deliberately cause exactly that from happening in the first place though.

    @gstv87 generally I agree. But seriously what is a ceramic $4000 dollar tellituby even existing for in the first place? No one in their right mind would buy such a thing for a toddler, and no one in their right mind aside from a toddler would have any interest in the thing. Plus while it did have a sign it wasn't anchored to anything and was just standing out in the open freeform.
    Philosophus Vagus

    If a toddler leaning up against a statue (not pushing, pulling or anything) is enough to topple it and shatter it into millions of pieces the heck was it doing there? Kind of just seems staged for the result gotten to be honest.

    I'll do just about anything to get out of setting foot in a hospital. Was pondering if I could stitch it myself one handed when I remembered he could do it for me. Whatever kills me you could probably put "died because he wouldn't go to the hospital" on my tombstone and have it be accurate and I am 100% at peace with that.

    I lived my whole life never knowing that Disney world is essentially an independent city-state operating autonomously from local laws, at least the one in Florida is (for now).

    yeah they built a whole town everyone loved it until the Disney themed music played outside everyday and the only movies in the theater was Disney movies. Then one day everyone's houses needed repaired B/C spotty work. Disney's dream town turned into a nightmare. Even after the town failed they still cashed out, a big success.

Ho, ho, ho and mwah, ha, ha. It appears that I will be getting a leg up on the inclusion of Krampus in the 2023 Game Jam. We arrived in Orlando, FL yesterday and my wife found a Krampus Festival for us to attend tonight! Maybe I will be going home with a Krampus!

I was planning on getting new character management feature into Character Generator, but my recent illness has delayed this somewhat. I will try and get it done today (which would be a miracle) but if not, I will have to complete the whole lot by Tuesday. This should hopefully be fine and all other feature updates should not have their target dates affected.

I've been watching videos about the videogame streamer Open Hand charity scandal, and the rabbit hole keeps getting deeper. At first it was just a lot of donated money being grossly neglected for years, and now there's a lot of money unaccounted for, which could turn this into a legitimate IRS crackdown.
