Alcohol
Alcohol maybe puts you to sleep faster, but it causes unrest. Whatever sleep youre getting, its not as restorative. Youll feel weary, even if you clocked your hours. You can still enjoy a glass or two to your dinner, but dont consider alcohol a sleep aid and make sure you dont drink three or four hours before bedtime.

Interesting.

I fucking hated Christie but approved of the work he did after Sandy.

This is the real reason for Murphy's approval ratings at the moment, but with corona. That's probably inflated by all the NY vacationers who are staying in their summer homes up north and down by the shore at the moment as well

Alpha218 posted...

Coronavirus Ravages Nursing Homes is an awful headline. Unfortunately thats been the case in multiple states. However it is drastically better than New Jersey is worse than Italy which was easily the kind of scenario that couldve occurred if there was a void of leadership like there is at the federal level.

I wouldn't try downplaying the nursing home incident, because it's apparently the biggest concentration of most NJ deaths from what I've heard.

Alpha218 posted...

Also I care more about what health officials have to say than business owners do at the moment.

I'm no pro-economist but considering how often the goalposts have been moved lately I'd like to think people would be starting to question how much is too much, especially when New York already has dates and guidelines for their reopening and Murphy only has "oh in a few weeks to a few months lol". One of his wild Tweets said it wouldn't be safe to reopen while people are still in hospitals. Does this dude honestly expect everyone to wait until everyone is out of NJ hospitals for Corona? lol, then there's the whole "wait for a vaccine" thing he's been pushing more than most nearby states.

I live near Newark and they're starting to reopen June 1. I'm sure you think that sounds reckless af, but consider that Murphy's brilliant "curbside pickup" law means people are naturally exploiting it to try on clothes and even get their hair and nails done on the fricking street. We've already got a bunch of NYC stowaways so I doubt it's an anti-invasion tactic, this seems primarily about milking Trump for federal aid....for a second time.

MBDTF and Aquemini go back and forth between my favorite rap albums of all time and tonight it's Aquemini again

I feel like after the lukewarm response to Idlewild they kinda just gave up instead of heading back to the drawing board and nobody wanted them to do that either

It's mostly Andre 3000's fault too since he's a perfectionist, but also doesn't really have that hunger anymore; Big Boi dropped a fucking classic of a debut album only a few years later and his last two albums were very good, if not great so at least we have him (even if people don't really appreciate that)

I guess I should just be glad they're always on good terms, that pic is from last year. I can always dream a project is right around the corner that way ("Ive always said, whenever Dre is ready, Im always ready.")

For the same reason they would listen to the other guy?

Curiousity? Wondering if it's worth time or investment?

You don't think if you want to know what people think about a game, someone going "It was so bad I quit after 6 hours because of X, Y and Z" is useful information? or equally valid to someone who liked it?

I mean I tried to play Vanquish and the game crashed while saving and deleted my entire save. So I refused to go back to it. By your logic that means I'm no longer allowed an opinion on it, that's crazy

You're comparing a technical issue you had with a game (which is a fair reason to stop playing) to "I only played 20-25% of a game, but here's my expert opinion I will share whenever that game is brought up."

My Bravely Default save corrupted at 55 hours and I haven't ever gotten back to it. Still a great game though, probably because I had 55 hours to form my opinion on it.

Just take the compliments already lol

I don't agree with this at all

if you're not having fun you're not having fun.

If you want to stop then stop. "your opinion isn't valid unless you play more of this shit you hate in the hope your mind will change" makes no sense

You should definitely stop playing a game you don't like

I just don't think people are qualified to discourage others from telling people not to play it when they barely played it themselves

If I told people New Super Mario Bros becomes really bad around the ice worlds and that's when I stopped (I didn't but boy did I get close), just what reason would people have to believe me over the raging positive reviews exactly

MGS5 had that problem too. Most of the reviewers giving it 10/10s across the board never actually got around to "Chapter 2" and that godawful ending.

I think the solution is just longer development periods instead of like, 2.5-3 years. Games should be in development for around 4-5 years if necessary and devs should avoid feature creep. If they can't finish the game in the targeted window, then oh well. None of this unpaid overtime, 100 hours a work week business.

It really depends on the developers.

Treyarch had 3 full years to work on their last CoD and we got the rushed fuckfest that was Black Ops 4. Granted, they kinda had to dial back a lot of the original elements and scrap the campaign because it had forced co-op that couldn't be finished, but they should've considered all of that during the initial development in the first place.

In comparison, IW had 3 years to work on Modern Warfare and we got a new engine, a full campaign, a non-rushed multiplayer, with 64 players max instead of just 10/12 from Black Ops 4, co-op, and battle royale all during that time. I'm sure there was some crunch, but most importantly the initial game didn't feel rushed whatsoever.

You keep acting like the problem with the game was the ending.

I don't think the ending mattered, the game was a lost cause before then. Hell the ending was okay all things considered.

It's not like Mass Effect 3 where for no reason it pulled out a knife a stabbed itself for 2 hour at the end.

It's more like the entire game was someone slowly cutting themselves from start to finish

The ending of Catherine isn't everything, but BOY does it mark a tonal shift

The Neutral ending has Vincent realizing he's not ready for a relationship with either girl after all, then taking the money he won from Boss and betting it all on a horse and either losing but being okay with it (default Neutral) or winning enough more money and moving somewhere faraway with the winnings (True Neutral)

It's the type of ending I guarantee people would be in love with in an indie movie or something lol, but more importantly I feel it is a more fitting ending for his character than ending up with either girl and the entire game is him realizing that much.

UnfairRepresent posted...

Eh, I don't think you have to beat a game to have an opinion on it

True but beating 1/4 routes in RE6 isn't enough to tell people to stay away tbh

It's like the guy who played Nier Automata and never got past the 9S route calling the entire game a disappointment lol

If you need a new battery it's $80 out of warranty but they replace the entire watch instead of just the battery

So if you watch is dinged up badly, as long as it's not cracked or anything it's a good way to get a like-new one

Last time I checked Murphy has a 77% approval rating

You really cant draw that false narrative with that number existing

Rise of Skywalker had a 86% audience approval rating at both 6K and 98K ratings and most people really, REALLY didn't like that movie, go figure.

The ones who aren't satisfied are probably gonna be the ones who aren't speaking up on it in the first place, hence the approval rating. I'm hopeful the election will tell a different story.
