Narbonic and Schlock Mercenary are two of the greatest webcomics of time that you would miss if you let the first pages art turn you off

It's a common enough issue that W3C has a whole article on it now:

I honestly have no idea if this is continuing the joke or not. But here you go. No clue about shipping or the site at all, relying entirely on Google

* What Moves The Dead
* What Feasts At Night
* A Wizard's Guide To Defensive Baking

This should definitely segue into the next iteration of uniforms incorporating codpieces.

We'd just have some serious questions that need to be asked. Questions like: is all the money from book sales going to Ukrainian drones or just the Ukrainian translation? And where can I buy the Ukrainian language versions in America? (Not sarcasm, but still joking. Mostly)

It's the ultra-dogmatic types that always seem to come from abusive families. They are expecting everyone that they trust to betray them at any moment, so anyone who doesn't already agree with everything they believe must be an enemy. Liberals aren't fully left, so they must be on the right

I've definitely seen some people claim that liberals are right of center.

Watching for the angry reply about how those ranges are correct

I learned that lesson long ago playing Cyberpunk 2020. We basically had 3 thugs and a corporate who hated them. Once my starter mission was over, I could never get them in the same room again. Give your players a framework to fit themselves in. It just works so much better

Cut into little pieces, cook however. Cover them in dry rub seasoning (I use the mix from K-jons dry rub wings) and stick on it under the broiler for a couple minutes to melt the sugar. Super tasty

Can we skip to the part where we all forget that the president exists?

The mission where the game finally lays out the backstory and explains exactly what happened is one of the most amazing parts of any game. I thought that I had it all nailed down going into it. I was maybe 25% correct

Also, HZD does a damn good job with representation. HFW has by far the most inclusive cast of any game that I have ever seen.

Seconding Horizon Zero Dawn. Absolutely the best PS exclusive that I can think of. Horizon Forbidden West is damn good as well, if not quite as amazing

You are doing God's work here. I didn't realize that the Hugo awards were tonight and would be searching aimlessly for my fill of sea cucumber butt teeth

Being able to refer to "the convicted felon named Donald Trump" has been a high point of the last couple months.

Does the entire jury have to sign off on each verdict? That could easily take 30 minutes but itself

They had 2 corporate lawyers who live in NY. That they weren't pre-emptively struck says how hard it was to find jurors who weren't actively opposed to Trump.

That was the year that I failed 5 out of 6 high school classes and passed the AP tests for those same classes. Then I took the GED because damned if I was taking classes again that I had college credit for. Equal options for blaming it being 1997, going off ADHD meds or on Accutane.

The rest of the gameplay was good, though I wish that they had fixed the conversation animations.

I couldn't get past the idea that they decided that an intergalactic colonization mission needed a hereditary leader. It just broke the world-building for me.
It doesn't even make sense, because now the colony leader is running around getting in fire fights and not, you know, leading the colony.

I work in civil engineering/surveying and I've listened to more than one speaker on how the phrase came from surveying. Government work was usually setting geodetic markers and is insanely precise.

I really enjoyed The Twisted Ones and I thought that you came very close to hitting maximum creepiness with it.
But then I read The Hollow Places, specifically the school bus scene, and realized that I was very wrong.

The beam on them is so narrow that I have trouble imagining a real use for one. An old Maglite is almost certainly more useful, much less a modern LED light.

Speaking of laser things that probably should not be toys, but are treated like that anyway: what's your opinion of LEP flashlights?

Well, I just finished Noah Caldwell-Gervais's 9.5 hour thorough look at Fallout, so strap me in.

Kise got his check up front and obviously doesn't give a shit anymore. He tried to pass off a Breitbart article as evidence a couple days ago.
But he is seriously pissing off the judge and seems like to earn more sanctions soon.

Generally if someone is looking for a much younger or older partner, then I question it hard. On the other hand, sometimes people click despite an age gap, nothing wrong with that.

I wouldn't go back to hand drafting for any reason, but I miss using rapidograph pens. They were deeply satisfying to draw with

Per AskHistorians, Japan wanted the Philippines which were under American control. The attack was supposed to draw what was left of the American fleet out to be ambushed by Japan. That would leave us unable to defend the Philippines. Similar things worked against Russia & China. This one didn't.
