Nothing to worry about. Just body snatcher pods

I believe Dennis is actually a Slipper Crab, though

In Austin, there was a short period of time where all grocery stores were legally required to ditch plastic bags.

A successful campaign strategy for city council right after that was to run against the plastic bag ban because people kept forgetting their reusable bags. Everybody agreed they are bad but individualism and a sense of laziness prevailed. This is America.

I finished it 3 times, so I'd say I'm pretty patient.

As much as I would love for Robin Williams to be back and brightening the world again it would be incredibly selfish of us to forget that he was incredibly unhappy in life and killed himself in a very unpleasant way because of it.

So definitely the centipede.

That tracks, though. If chicken tastes like everything and we are losing things to extinction. Obviously, chicken has less to taste like.

I've beaten the game about 6 times now and while I've certainly encountered minor glitches that made me laugh, I've never had issues that were game breaking at all. And the fire giant included.

I always hear stuff like this but in hundreds of hours of play on both PlayStation 5 and PC. I've never experienced any serious bugs. It's so interesting to me that experiences can vary so much between people.

Some of our society says that same thing about 1/3 of every day with the other 3rds being drunk and unconscious.

This 5/7ths crowd sounds like under achievers.

My issue isn't any particular language but the advocates of various languages treating their language as the best hammer for every nail.

I wake up at noon because I'm depressed and went back to sleep.

Man, I have such a mixture of thoughts about Vegeta.

I'm rewatching DBZ right now for the first time in 20 years and I always remembered him as being arrogant.

This time, I see so much more to the character. But there's this I've things that bothers me. He's constantly complaining about how people being too soft is a weakness. Caring about others and such.

But during this fight, he states recognition that Goku has always been and will likely always be stronger and that pisses him off to no end. It almost seems like a little reflection on what drives Goku might help Vegeta see that things like caring for others isn't a weakness.

 

I've been playing Final Fantasy 16 for the last couple of weeks and feel really let down by the hype and reviews of this game.

While I enjoy the deviation of the combat the rest of the game feels very incomplete. The vocal animations are frequently off. The travel from area to area is just an overworld map to select travel from one small area to another. There are like 2 or 3 side quests at a time and a whole vendor that will send you to side quests in different areas, but his menu is always empty.

In general, the graphics are roughly the same as FFXIV. The animations and music seem ripped right out of 14 as well. And the combat and akin to the main series Kingdom Hearts games.

Overall I'm enjoying it, but these 7-9 out of 10 reviews that are calling it some massive achievement seem really undeserved.
