Are the lights and sounds actually changed enough to be helpful? If they are would a person without sensory issues still get anything out of the theater experience?

This is embarrassing but I cried when SHillary lost to Trump

That remains one of the funniest nights of my life, I literally woke myself up laughing the next morning.

Once upon a time my lib ass somehow thought racism and sexism were both basically solved in the US. I got into an argument with someone against affirmative action and reparations.

Ostara, the name of the holiday we actually celebrated, is on the equinox, Easter stole a ton of traditions but slightly changed the day.

It's a celebration of spring, new life and fertility. Eggs and rabbits are both symbols of fertility hence their co-option into Easter. The history of Ostara herself is really interesting as you can actually trace her beginnings back Ishtar, one of humanity's easiest known deities.

I think the answer is tons of coke.

I can't think of a single other game that has redeemed itself nearly as well. The dev's over promised in the beginning but they sure as shit weren't grifting.

Oh hell yes! this update is actually adding depth to game not just more breadth.

 

The indoctrination must start early.

I haven't played either in long time so I'll take your word for it. To be fair I was juvenile and edgy when Fallout 2 came out so I probably have some pretty colored memories.

Fallout 2 is even better then 1. I haven't played in years but I bet they're some of the few games that still hold up.

I just wonder if it's a simple generational thing where whatever you grow up with becomes the baseline compared to which anything older looks increasingly primitive and impenetrable

Maybe for some people but I started gaming on DOS and NES and for the most part I dislike old games. I have tons of nostalgia for stuff like Myst and Golden Eye but going back to play them is just not fun. A part of my problem might be that I get motion sick and old games can be really bad for that. Original NES games can still be fun, super mario 3 will remain one of the best games ever made.

Dark Forces (1995) just got remastered and its just as great as I remember it when I was a kid. Not sure if I can still pull off an unarmed hard play through but i do some how still remember where most of the secret areas are.

 

My partner has been able to take a dump in three weeks. I need your shit related wisdom!

Yes this is an actual medical problem but its being dealt with

We're never gonna get to join the interstellar society.

 

And spent like 10 looking at and configuring mods. It's a great pre-game!

 

From the river to sea!

 

Seriously almost all of my friends have kids now and no one has time to hang out anymore. This is bullshit and must stop!

I just have to get this off my chest but I can't talk about it too anyone who knows me in real life.

About ten years I started a new job an instantly hit off with a co-worker. We had a ton of similar interests and she was super easy for my anti social self to talk too And holy shit the level of pure chemistry we had, I didn't even know that was possible. Only problem was I was married and she was engaged.

Over the next couple years we managed to keep our hands off each other only because one of us anyways had to stay sober enough to drop the other off and we both knew drunk consent isn't consent. We became the kinda friends that know things about each other no other person does. But things never went farther than the rare nude or a hand that would linger too long in passing.

Once I quit that job we both broke off all contact and I haven't talked to her since. I'm married thirteen years now, last I checked she was married with kids. And yet I still can't get her out of my mind. All of my best dreams are about her. I honestly think that if there was one thing I could fix about my life it would be to go back and make it work with her.

This is a really shitty feeling I haven't been able to get over for ten years. Maybe getting it out there will help and this ain't the kind of shit I could tell anyone in real life.

Not 100% sure I'll make it but it's love to grab a beer and play some games with some fellow hexbears. I've had a shit ton of fun both times I've been. If anyone's on the fence it's totally worth it for at least Saturday only ticket.

 

I've decided I want to learn how to sing but there are a billion youtube videos claiming to teach you how and I have no idea assess them. If anyone with some musical talent can point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.
