All of them. Gamefaqs users are old, dude.

Character development is the thing people misunderstand that most annoys me.

It seems like online, a disproportionate amount of people believe character development means someone needs to change or evolve over the course of the story, and unless someone does that theres no development.

The reality is no one has to change over the course of a story, the key to character development is just that a character gets fleshed out and seems like a real person. You could take the most boring, stock, brave hero archetype and not change the character at all over the course of a story, but so long as you explore motivations, how they react to different situations, speak to different people, and how they see and interact with the world you've developed that character into an actual person rather than a boring archetype.

Oh God I hate it

Lots of people saying Fromsoftware games, and I'm just not understanding why. The games are great games with great gameplay, but they're not exactly renowned for their stories. Not to mention like 80% of the class isn't likely to even experience most of the story because the games are too hard.

Neither, I write it as 13 July 3022. It's how we did it in the air force and it's stuck with me.

But it came out 14 years ago

I'm a thing crosser, resting a hand on my top knee.

Pepperoni might be king, but I've never understood why. It's good yeah but a good Italian sausage has so much more flavor and is way more versatile since ts so much less greasy.

Sort of. The cool stuff in my area in the 2000s was preppy stuff, so lots of polos and stuff. I had the American Eagle and Aeropostale clothes because that's what was in our mall, but the kids whose families actually had money always had Hollister or Abercrombie since they could afford to shop in actual cities on the weekend.

Duchovny is an actor in that weird place between television royalty and b-movie schlocker. If he's on a television, check it out, there's a pretty good chance it's quality. If he's in a movie, though? It's more than likely direct-to-streaming trash.

Just over two years. I remember because we went camping in March of 2020, my phone broke while we were out there, and I came back to a world that was shutting with a broken phone. Verizon replaced it for free because it was known issue, though. Lucky me!

"planning my next move"

Just fucking talk to her

If she is actually cheating, then she's pretty egregious with it and it sounds like she doesn't actually care about you.

You can be mad at her, but what's that gonna do if she herself doesn't care. Just gotta ditch her and forget her.

The people you should be mad at are your mutual friends, though. Someone had to have seen her tik toks if she's not keeping them secret, and not one of them told you a thing.

I stayed the night in Fort Davis when is was driving across to move to Cali. Can't say I recommend it.

Saudi Arabia is a literal drop in the bucket for the box office. Disney won't censor this for them because they might lose 1% of a potential box office while getting to take the moral high ground and looking like the good guy to most of the world that will go see the movie.

If they actually censored it, the would likely lose a lot more money from people choosing not to see it than they would gain from releasing in Saudi Arabia.

What makes the Christian God any more real than Zeus, Odin, or Ra?

It's probably a sarcastic comment because capital G God is only in the christian religion. Other religions have different names for their god/s.

Growing up, a lot of them didn't know or understand the technical definition of Atheism. They thought atheism = anti-religion, that it encompassed all things against religion. Even today you can find some people who thinks this way.

I think that it's just a young person thing. Honestly, young kids aren't the smartest and then when they become young adults they think they are so it leads to a lot of know it all's.

The same thing happens in abrahamic religions. Kids are taught parables and lessons but they don't really know the actual religion, and then when they become young adults they develop into holier than thou people because all they were taught were lessons and not the thoughts behind them.

I'm not gonna deny that some atheists are angry, however if they're angry at god itself and not the religion itself I'd question whether they're actively atheist since they're angry at a idea that is supposed to fictional.

In general, though, I don't believe most atheists are angry at god. If there's anger in their belief, then it's much more likely to be directed toward the religion and practices themselves, not the character in the sky they don't believe in.

I am an attorney for the city. I have represented cops who lie in court, teachers who molest children, prison guards who beat inmates, Jampel said Friday in her tweet, which was deleted sometime late Monday.

It is a job I have done proudly. Until tonight. Fighting to keep masks on toddlers is shameful. I am ashamed of my office, the mom of three said.

You're an adult but are complaining that people that run toy websites are telling jokes

Let that sink in

It would mostly be fine. The only bad breakup I've had was with my high school girlfriend that broke up with me at my basic training graduation and I couldn't get over for years after. The rest have all been pretty amicable or just really casual relationships where there weren't a ton of feelings involved.

The only issue I could see arising was me feeling like I would die there and getting horny and trying to cheat on my current girlfriend.

I don't think you know what scissoring is.

Uninterested. I liked Morbius in the spider animated series, but Leto has been a really average actor outside of a few things like Dallas Buyers Club and Requiem, so I don't feel like he can handle being a leading man.

Look, I get that alopecia isn't some.serious medical issue, but it's still fucked up to make fun of. I'm a.bald dude, and alopecia is considerably more than just "hair loss." especially for women. Hair loss is something that 99.9% of women don't experience, especially at that level that alopecia will bring on. A huge percentage of men go bald and we still have crazy feelings tied to it, imagine being the one of a tiny percent of women that go bald.

That said, I feel for both dudes. At the end of the day, it's just a joke and Rock didn't deserve to get the shit slapped out of him on tv, but he still cut deep and Will Smith had a pretty natural defensive instinct kick in. Did he go overboard? Yeah, sure, but I get it. Defending a loved one is natural.

Just write that you were applying for jobs, theyll understand. Three months is nothing really, it's not some unexplainable years long gap so I wouldn't think they'd care. They likely just need something on record for HR.

Christ I just googled silvally and wtf is that

Anyway Bulbapedia says it's a legendary and they're generally right

Rotoms just in the class of cool pokemon that are popular but not legendary, like Pikachu. It's basically just a mini mascot, but so is Jigglypuff and no one is calling it legendary.

Man, Biowares run from Baldurs Gate through ME3 is just legendary. They put out bangers for like 14 years with no misses. I know people are iffy about ME3 and it's ending but it's still a top notch game. If only Dragon Age 2 wasn't so disappointing, their run could have been even better. Even Inquisition, while I didn't quite love it, was enjoyable enough.

Happened to me on Grindr a while back, but when the person sent me the photos of my supposed family it was a gang of people I had never met or heard of in my life. Guess they heard of the scam but had no idea how to actually pull it off.

Star Wars movies are made primarily for kids and succeed there for the most part (Phantom Menace being the exception, because holy fuck what kind wants to watch a boring movie about trade blockades?).

Like most kid movies, they vary in quality for adults, but who cares because adults aren't who they're for. Like, I loved AotC as a kid. Seeing Yoda fight with a lightsaber was super cool to my 12 year old mind. As an adult that movie sucks, but I don't go online complaining about it because I'm not that movie's target audience at all.

All the prequels did their job, and that was to make George Lucas more money by making kids want to buy toys and video games, and the sequels did their job in making kids want to buy toys and video games. Being good for adults that aren't buying the merch is entirely secondary to these movies.

Being able to win a women's affection without paying her

What if you can attract a woman on your own but choose to pay for a prostitute? Not trying to argue, I just think gender norms and expectations are an interesting topic.

Note: I'm happily engaged but don't look down on someone that pays for sex with (non-trafficked) sex workers, so that's the POV I'm coming from.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Because some sex workers aren't sex workers, but sex slaves. It's not always wrong and it's not always right,discretion needs to be used.

It's not black and white. Going to someone that was found on craigslist is a quick way to have someone that was sex trafficked, but you might also find someone on a certain website were not allowed to mention that operates as an ecot completely on their own and owns and is 100% ok with sex work.

You'd think paying less people would allow them to keep prices down

That's not how it works. Just yesterday I wrote a story about a fine dining restaurant in town that closed because they had to keep raising prices just to break even throughout the pandemic because supply chain issues have caused prices on their end to skyrocket. Not having to pay a depleted wait staff wasn't making up for that because they physically couldn't serve enough people.

Probably the same coward that was dodging deployments while you were in letting others go in your place.

Nice try. I deployed to Balad as a SrA and Chabelley as a SSgt. I wanted more because of the massive amounts of money I could make and save while deployed but unfortunately most ATC deployments we're being relegated to contractors. Almost none of us were allowed to go to Afghanistan and Balad returned to Iraqi use shortly after I left.

I know, "oh you were just a pog." Sorry I was smart enough to enlist with a guaranteed spot in a career field with massive reenlistment bonuses and even higher salaries on the outside.

Then why even do boxing training?

He's got a boxing match coming up against the guy that play the mountain in game of thrones. Doesn't make him a pro boxer though.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


That's because he's not a pro boxer, he's a strong man. Don't think he's masquerading as one either, he just wants to fight a rival strongman.

Thats the definition of a sequel.......

Watchdogs Legion isn't the sequel to Far Cry 5 which isn't the sequel to Assassin's Creed. The root gameplay is the same across all of their franchises. Did you even read what I wrote?

Lairen posted...

Yeah: Ubisofts the only company with sequels feeling samey...

It's not sequels feeling the same, it's every game feeling the same. Far Cry, Watchdogs, and Assassin's Creed might play slightly differently, but the root gameplay is always the same across franchises.

I stick to Assassin's Creed and that's pretty much it, so while I know about how their games are all the same it never really affects me.

The thing that really gets me is how God awful their loading times always are. Just starting up Valhalla there's like a five minute load time. Meanwhile, I'm playing the new Horizon and fast traveling across the map on my base PS4 from 2015 takes ~20 seconds.

That's because it is. Essentially a parasite leeching off the country but won't lift a finger to help it. And I would bet anybody else.

I literally spent nine years in the air force and I would absolutely dodge a draft if I had a fundamental disagreement with the reasons we're at war, but continue to spout nonsense about how I'm a parasite that would never help my country.

TC sounds like he's poor

Well technically you could buy a horse if you were a grocery clerk then too

Pretty low considering I'm in my 30s and already receiving disability from my time in the air force.

Sun was my first Pokemon game in a long time, and I hated it. Felt like I was being handheld every three steps, and each route had like 3-4 trainers that only had a single Pokemon to battle. It felt like baby's first rpg, there was absolute no difficulty at any point.

Like, I can probably go back now and play Good/Silver and still have a hard time beating Whitney and her fucking miltank. Where is that challenge?

At least Arceus has some difficulty. Even the wild Pokemon will wipe you easily if you're not careful.
