Look at this guy, knowing a week before he needs a hole.

That ground looks so satisfying to dig in. Like it would actually yield to a shovel. I've spent my entire life in Southern California and our ground is hard, dry, and filled with rocks.

There is no clean. You've only got 3 options:

Abort, Retry, Fail?_

Sure am glad neither of the Dakotas are mentioned.

Even more specifically, there are two separate hands that are being treated as one. This may or may not be a bug, but it is what's happening.

The four heart cards form a flush: K, 6, 5, 4

The 4 contiguous cards form a straight: 6, 5, 4, 3

Both are true, and thus it is being considered a Straight Flush.

I'm curious if this is true without the Four Fingers joker.

These are my thoughts exactly. This feels like a French thing that I've never been exposed to. I'm now curious about this from many nations. What is the everyday lunch that is not the globally recognized stereotype national dish? As an American I feel like it would be something lame like peanut butter & jelly.

I had the same reaction and had to dig deeper.

Turns out this is a rodeo event called Swine/Hog/Pig "Showmanship." The competitors are making eye contact with a judge, waiting for signals and to know when they're paying attention to their animal so they're can rotate them. They're tapping the pigs both to steer them (always keeping the pigs between themselves and the judge), and to keep the pigs head pointed upwards. They're trying to show their control over the animal as well as give the judge views of all sides of them, so different aspects can be assessed.

I'm not saying that it's not irresponsible to grow to the size that they have, but I don't think people understand the staggering difference in the size of the development teams between GTA and Hollow Knight.

MobyGames lists 4,771 people in the credits for GTA V and just 85 for Hollow Knight. Honestly most of those on Hollow Knight are translators and testers, people who weren't working the full length of development time.

As a reminder, 99.9% of the cost of a game is number of staff * salary * time.

I LOVE Dandadan S1 intro song. I came here to post it. S2 is such a letdown in comparison. I skip most Anime intros because they're usually way too long and usually boring. DDD S1 gets me hype every damn time.

The very first person to write was doing so with the intent of it being read. They didn't make marks that they didn't understand and then later discover their meaning. Writing makes no sense without reading. These two things happened in unison, one does not predate the other.

The literal only thing I can remember about that game is that the GameCube version has uncensored boobies in video clips of exotic dancers. And that Nintendo made the decision to not censor it because they were still reeling from being vastly outsold by Sega two console generations earlier on the original release of Mortal Kombat because they censored the blood and fatalities.

 

Nobody likes voting for the “lesser of two evils.” Casting a vote in favor of someone who is diametrically opposed to your viewpoint(s) absolutely sucks. The shitty reality is that we aren’t going to change the electoral process in the next two months.

If you don’t see either major candidate as a champion that you can support, it seems more beneficial to see it as selecting your enemy for the next four years. I would rather fight against someone that I have a chance of changing. At minimum I would rather protest against someone that I think has a lower chance of authorizing lethal force against a march that I attend.

Voting for a 3rd presidential candidate (or not voting at all), is letting someone else make that decision for you.

That said, we have got to get out of this constant cycle of only having two options. There’s too much money at a national level to start there. We’ve got to start local and get third party candidates into offices at a city level, then state, then national. It’s going to take a long time and it should have happened so very long ago. We can’t change the past, we can only change the future. The only time to start changing the future is in the present.
