Did they ever patch in a reason that The Institute does literally anything they do?

Played again today and won! But I played with a 60% painted squad, which means I lost emotionally. Thematically Anakin got the high ground and kicked the everliving shit out of anyone who tried to mess with him, while Ahsoka and some Mandos scrapped over some border objectives. I think I played smart to win the first struggle. The second one went my way with a couple lucky rolls to give the priority objective to me when I had it, which only happened to my opponent once. Also in the second struggle my dice were red hot and his were frigid. Anyway I really enjoy this game. Playing with a good knowledge of the rules and winning two struggles in a row to clinch without having to go to a third, the game was a crisp 90 minutes after the terrain was set up. While I love me a full Legion army battle that can take a few hours, it’s nice to have one that’s more quickly paced. Not having a character / unit wiped until after they taker their max level of wounds AND they get one last activation means that even if the stars aligned and someone got totally slaughtered before they could activate once (I don’t think this is actually possible, just saying), they would still get one go before coming off the table. The tactics aren’t as deep as Legion which is to be expected given the pace and scope of deployment, but I still feel like there are interesting decisions to be made.

Ctrl+F: golden sun … Good.

I’ve maintained for decades now that unless you need to know file structures because you’re an engineer or programmer, the kind of person who sleeps better at night when your digital life is just so, or a combination of both, that they desktop metaphor with folders is confusing and has little to no utility. I’m broadly wired that way, in that I have digital rulebooks for every one of my billion board games stored on my Mac so I can just Spotlight search “line of sight” and the name of the game and get right to what I’m looking for. But even I gave up the organization fight for most things. Back in the say I had really detailed save folder structure for games that I backed up to floppy or CD, now I don’t even know which one of my SSDs my various launchers store their saves. If I’m that cavalier with save files for games I’ve invested hundreds of hours into, it makes total sense to me that someone has no fucking idea where that work PPTX file lives.

People in general either have very detailed folders where they organize everything or a desktop that is the digital equivalent of a million Hindenburgs. Anecdotally age makes absolutely no difference here. I will also say that over the last 5 - 10 years as things have moved to the cloud / Sharepoint / Google, it’s gotten much worse as a browser with more open tabs than there are stars in the night sky has become people’s de facto organization method.

My mom is a data bitch you fucking clown, recognize

I don’t mean to be callous as my sympathies are absolutely with the people who got laid off here but if any CEO says “layoffs are immoral” that’s a red flag that is itself waving several other huge red flags.

This is just not supported by the data at all.

Unless it's changed fairly recently, having literally any college degree is correlated with significantly higher lifetime earnings compared to people without a 4 year degree. That doesn't warrant taking out massive loans to obtain nor justifies the continual inflation of the cost of said degree of course, but in general getting any degree is better than not having one even if we're talking solely economics and none of the other benefits of a college education.

OKAY TAKE 2

EDIT -WAIT THE UPDATE DIDN'T TAKE HOLD PLEASE MACKLUNKEY

Crosshairs seems very good.

You can never truly hide a blue check, when you see someone with as many followers as I have as the first reply and they’re posting the stupidest fucking shit you’ve ever seen in your life, the blue check is obvious even if it’s not visible. It’s almost like Elon is a fucking moron who is terrible at everything, if he posted about how salt water was bad for you I’d run to the sea and start chugging.

The “it’s not fascism it’s authoritarianism” crowd is really flexing their “technically it’s ephebophilia” muscles.

People are actively not getting that Helldivers 2 is satirical right now, so that tracks.

Charlie Kirk is a phrenologist's wet dream and an absolute dumpster fire of a human being.

First: I assume you could use Automator to make a script for your terminal commands and keep it on your desktop, someplace handy, or named something unique so Spotlight could find it. if you know the Terminal commands I'd just google how to use Automator to do what you want and you should find it pretty easily Second: I don't think performance boost while plugged in is a thing on MacOS Third: I haven't used it, so no comment there Fourth: If you're just looking for something to keep it safe when you're tossing it in your bag, I usually roll with cheaper stuff on amazon that I don't feel bad abusing. For a dock, depends on your setup and how you wanna use it, if you're looking for Thunderbolt connections, the number of displays, if you want the dock itself to be portable, etc. Current MacBook Pros have been nice and I haven't felt compelled to accessorize mine other than a mouse now that they all have ports / slots beyond USB C again Fifth: Yes

Their first few albums are pretty good if you like 70's hard rock / glam. After that, yeesh.

The books beyond Messiah might as well be a photocopier that spits out Duncan Idahos and a lognform worm LARP, the less they're considered for a film adaptation, the better.

Rehoboam deez nuts

I appreciate that Joker is not a bad movie but I just can't get over the notion that it's an inferior, edgelord version of The King of Comedy. The performances are good but I didn't think they were especially remarkable and how it ended up making a billion dollars is something I'll never understand.

Only if it takes Reddit down with it.

FFVI is my favorite JRPG. I appreciate that it's not paced as well or has characters as interesting as Chrono Trigger, it's probably not as much of a leap forward for the genre or series as FFIV was, and its impact is a ripple next to FFVII's splash. But it came out at the right time in my life for me to go absolutely apeshit over it and the nostalgia is undefeated. I have a lot of early internet memories tied to it as well, it came out when the transition away from BBS to modern websites was in full swing and there was a lot of fansite bullshit out there on places like Geocities that had nonsense like how to get General Leo in your party that didn't work and required a shitload of effort. Obviously I'd play a remake, but I love the game as it is, warts and all, and I think it kind of stinks that in versions like the Pixel Remaster, the Sketch glitch is fixed. Is it better that your save can't get totally corrupted? Of course, but I like an inventory with 500+ Excaliburs for Shadow to throw like they're ninja stars and for everyone to dual wield Atma Weapons.

Need the link to the actual YTMND for max theme.

I, too, really like the R3.
