Yeah, she's been doing the same with her family. Maybe go the other way and see how it works out? Sometimes you have to have an imbalance to make it work.

I would move. I moved to the Czech Republic at 25 to teach English and it was one of the best decisions of my life. And you're planning to teach? That's a really soft landing as far as finding a job goes.

I would dip my toe in the water and see if it's worth swimming in. You may enjoy it more than you realize right now. And if you don't, it breaks off anyway, you move back after a year or so and you've at least got a worthwhile story under your belt that you'll look back on one day and be glad you tried.

It's not like you just met this girl and you're now moving to Portugal on a whim. This is a reasonable action given the circumstances, with strong upside.

If you enjoy Rabbids then the DLC is worth it. Its just more of the same, mostly, with a few extra bells and whistles. It extends the life of the game. I personally found the game decent, and kinda didnt need more of it after the main game, but most people would probably say otherwise.

I occasionally run Smash sim tournaments. I could post the stats sheet I have. Theres definitely a ranking of CPU sim skill (though its not definitive).

That said I use the same format for every fight. 3 stock, no time, no hazards, no items, and several stages are removed from the random selection. Many stages just suck to use/watch.

TopicAre Witcher 1/2 crucial to the lore, or can someone jump straight into 3?

Witcher 3 is intended to be newbie-friendly. I had only played Witcher 2 before jumping in, which helped a bit, but nothing tremendous. It warms you up to Geralt and I enjoyed his growth between the two games, and it provides a strong understanding of several key characters/settings in W3 (characters from W2: Triss, Dandelion, Zoltan, Roche).

W3 is either my #1 or #2 favorite game. Alongside the expansion packs, it's a phenomenal journey.

Is the decision to pick your house really early on in the prologue? It feels shockingly quick in the story.

If you mean the choice where they ask your allegiance after the fight then no.

They give you time to walk around the monastery and meet the students before you pick, though it is still pretty early on yes.

Ah ok good to know. I barely recognized the names of the factions so I couldnt even put each leader to their house.

Taran works for Rob C. and covers the BB live feeds every morning at 11am edt. It's a great way to get a gist of what the live feeds were like over the previous 24 hours. He does it every morning for the entire season.

From a feeds perspective, I'm full steam ahead on BB21 right now. I don't like a lot of the players but I'm still invested in all the happenings/gameplay. It's not as fun as BB20's pre-jury but I think we're set up a lot better to go the distance than BB20 was after the hacker comp was put into effect. Of course we have to wait and see what gets thrown at us once jury starts, because BB20 was on a good trajectory going into jury, and then it fell apart and become pretty dull each day.

If I had to cut out one thing from my BB schedule each summer, it'd be the Sunday/Wednesday episodes. I'd rather watch just the Thursday episode, the occasional live feeds (particularly pre-jury when it's more active), and Taran's updates (every other day or so). Which is still a lot, but then I'm not feeling burnt out, and I know the game will likely slow down to a crawl in like a month.

Production doesnt include these twists to balance the game. They include them to make the game unpredictable, which might make it more compelling to watch.

If Kat actually does vote with 6 Shooters, shes for sure the JC of the season.

Shes currently telling Holly/Tommy how excited she is to vote out Nick or Bella.

Congrats, production, you played yourself.

Update (spoilers): Kat is now not entirely playing the JC role. That was an unexpected turn-around! She's snowing Jack and not revealing everything she knows. I think Kat is 100% team Holly (and Jackson), and given the current HoH isn't targeting them, she's willing to hide some truths to the rest of 6S.

So that's a great thing.

Kat isn't as great on the feeds as she is with the edited episodes, imo. She's great on the show, but the feeds... hit and miss. And she's currently a total mole for the Six Shooters, is trying to keep this game REALLY boring by giving them full control. She also doesn't have a good sense of strategy so this is just blind loyalty for the sake of feeling included (even though she's at the bottom).

David actually wants to upset the apple cart too. Ovi would probably be the worst because he's rather gullible.

I'm rooting for either of David or Kemi to come back. If Cliff goes, I'd probably root for him the least. He's just a little too passive for my liking.

I found the story insufferable. I also thought the base-building was unsubstantial fluff. Also the romance was cringe - though I mostly ignored it.

I get the feeling I'm going to get enticed by word of mouth to buy 3H and then be disappointed. I just hope the story is decent.
