Now there's a game I haven't thought about in forever.

To be fair, every gun should be 1 hit kill, but that doesn't make games very fun.

I guess that one is better than the one Lock Picking Lawyer picked with a twig he found in his yard. I find it depressing that most gun locks are purposefully shitty because they only exist to comply with local laws.

I'm a big fan, and I normally hate this run/stealth/escort/stealth/run genre, but for some reason it really works well here. Everything is set up well, so it's more of a puzzle than your typical stealth game and that's more of the case as the game goes along. There are a couple of weak parts in the game where it leans a little too hard into action, but I still beat it. I should point out, I seriously value my time. I am not at all the type to finish every game I start. I'm pretty quick to drop a game when I'm not enjoying myself, even if I'm hours in. Hell, I haven't even beaten Outer Worlds because I found the final mission annoying. I'll beat it one day because I absolutely loved the rest of the game. I paid full Nintendo price for Tokyo Mirage Sessions and dropped it like half an hour before the final boss because the whole maze dungeon leading up to him was obnoxious...and I maxed out the stats in every character in that game. Either way, I never even bought Plague Tale on release specifically because I didn't think I would like it. I literally only gave it a shot recently because it was free on EGS.

Go play Teardown on Steam. It's still in early access, but who cares. That game doesn't get nearly enough love around here.

I'm more interested in what they're going to do with the rest of the cast than with Hawkeye. This series is also giving us Yelena, Echo, and maybe Kingpin...if we could be so lucky to have more Vincent D'Onofrio.

I so absolutely hate the "I'm winning this fight, cut scene, oh no I am defeat". It's still out there in games. Fuck you. If you're going to make me lose anyway, don't let me waste time restoring my health or have to "win" the fight by knocking the enemy HP down to some random number. I think the most recent bad offender here is Kakarot in the fight versus Raditz. You have to lose that fight, but it still makes you go up against Raditz for two rounds and bring his HP down to zero before he's like "Ha, you're so weak and I was holding back". Meanwhile Goku went from 100% HP in the fight to ragged and almost dead in the cutscene.

And here I thought you were cool people.

Yes, very much so. Nothing like seeing your 5/yo brother eaten alive by rats.

I don't know. A Plague Tale is basically a giant escort mission and that game is pretty great. Two that come to mind are ones that JRPGs absolutely abused. Save points and random battles.

How does a teacher get to cut some child's hair against the child or parents wishes and still keep their job?

From the actual story... So I'm thinking...maybe Dems should start talking about how everyone should really trust their local hospitals because they are absolutely doing everything they can to save lives and that any conspiracies to the contrary are absolutely false.

He has the exact tone I have when I'm, say, scolding my toddler for calling their uncle a bitch.

The last chapter was certainly setting things up for a final arc. My assumption coming out of it was that either they all get dragged into greater war when it reaches them or they head out to end the Hawk's war against non-humans. In the end, I don't see how they stay together. They each have their own dreams. Eventually they're going to part ways. Either way, the last chapter wasn't actually done. A far as I can tell, his assistants finished it up for him after his death. Berserk not having been canceled while Duranki is clearly canceled leads me to believe they really do want to continue the series, but they aren't really sure how. The only thing we know about the end of Berserk is that it was always supposed to have a more hopeful, though maybe not exactly happy, ending. Miura always seemed like he had a story he wanted to tell and he formed Studio Gaga to make that story happen. He doesn't seem like the type that would want his fans to not see the story finished. However, it's also really difficult to follow up and complete the work of a legend. I don't envy the position they're in.

Nice of him to confirm this story.

Looks like Young Animal had finally cancelled Duranki... Kentarou Miura, Studio Gaga's Duranki Manga Ends WWW.ANIMENEWSNETWORK.COM Manga gets compiled book volume on December 24 // The October 1 issue of Hakusensha's Young Animal Zero magazine confirmed on Monday that Duranki (Duruanki),... I'm actually surprised this one has been cancelled, but Berserk's cancellation has yet to be announced. Duranki was specifically set up for his assistants to have something they could turn into their own thing. I know Miura was storyboarding the manga, but I figured they'd be able to continue it without him. Studio Gaga isn't closing, so I'm guessing they're trying to figure out if there's anyway to complete the Berserk from his notes and such. The last chapter of Berserk was released a few days ago and I think I'd be fine if it ended there. It's not a major cliffhanger and, while there are certainly a while ton of loose threads dangling about, it wouldn't be such a terrible place to leave them unfinished. I'm sure Studio Gaga ended it there because of that reason and they're now trying to figure out if there's any way to see Miura's vision through to its completion. Either way, Berserk ends up being the longest running series I've followed. If it continues, cool. If it doesn't then Hajime no Ippo will catch up and take its place eventually.

There's the clip... This sucks.

In Massachusetts, blame our Republican governor and crazy anti-vaxxers across the country. Don't look at me. I didn't vote for him. A bunch of school districts wanted to continue offering remote learning, but his need to free parents up and get them back into the workforce overruled the will of parents, teachers, and districts across the state. Had half the student population been remote, there would be enough drivers to make things work out. If anti-vaxxers hadn't forced the delay of the approval of the vaccines for children under 12, there would be a ton of vaccinated kids right now which wouldn't have scared off drivers. With that much out of there control, there's no way school districts can overcome this hurdle. Their budgets can't compete with Amazon and UPS. They also can't just will more Class B drivers that are fine dealing with a roudy bus of kids spreading germs everywhere into existence. Doubly so for the coming winter months where driving the bus with windows open will be torture.

I hadn't really thought about this. If you had a Class B, why would you risk a COVID exposure driving school buses around when you could totally be driving a truck for like Amazon? I guess we now know if anyone else did that math.

All I want now is a Disney+ extra of the entire Rogers Musical.

Those are exactly the type they go after. Excel, Avon, and Herbalife are the big ones I've seen make their run through Spanish-speaking churches up here in New England.

Yeah, but a lot of those gassed people were black. They don't count. Your are right, though, they won't care.
