Don't train somebody for a position you were passed over for.

The point isn't to hide being fat from the doctor but to avoid making it the focus of the visit, especially if it's not necessary.I don't get how it would be the focus if it is done every time. When I broke my wrist two years ago, they took my weight. Didn't think twice about it because being weighed was something I always associated with doctor's visits. Granted, it had been about 25 years since my last visit, but still. --- The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact. Everything else, is theory. |

| loafy013 12/23/21 10:18:54 AM #13 | Senta posted... I personally enjoyed it and had a good time watching it.Yeah. Hated the whole meta talk in like the first half hour, but after that it was enjoyable. I liked that it was a more low stakes story, instead of another save the world movie. Only had one real issue, and I'm not sure if it was an honest mistake or was supposed to be some foreshadowing. Think it was after the attack in the office and he was talking to his shrink, the shrink mentions how he made the game based on stuff he saw in real life. He says something like "you even used my cat that you hate" But he wasn't Neo's doctor until after the games were made in this version of the Matrix. --- The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes.

Why does it matter if some people dont drink at all, they are not saying you cant drink.It makes them feel insecure about the amount they are drinking. If you and your buddy both drink a case a day, they don't think twice about it. If one drinks a case, and the other doesn't, they are afraid they might be judged as an alcoholic. --- The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact. Everything else, is theory. |
| Topic | Is Abby the main point of contention in TLOU2? |
| loafy013 12/20/21 5:01:33 AM #28 | Punished_Blinx posted... If anything their games are the opposite. You're playing as characters with their own motivations that often don't match your own. The ending of the first game already established that it is not up to you.I never got the complaints about Joel acting out of character at the end of the first game. It's like those players ignored that Joel was not a good person, like recognizing traps on the road, implying that he had done the same thing many times before. It's slapped across your face that that is why Tommy dropped contact with him. But some people are so used to putting themselves in the shoes of the protagonist, they couldn't seem to recognize the evil side of him. --- The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.

Too bad it was when I was doing final clean up after finishing it. Overall, the gameplay was nothing super special (I'm impatient and tend to attack head on instead of taking advantage of traps and stuff).

A good movie won't be ruined by a spoiler, but a spoiler can definitely rob someone of an emotional high point that otherwise might have really affected them while viewing.I felt so bad for 2 of my co-workers at the theatre I worked at when The Force Awakens came out. They were both die hard Star Wars fans and were doing their best to avoid having stuff spoiled. One of the last shows of the night, the rest of us managers had gone home, and one of the projectors went down. Getting it up and running requires looking at the screen for obvious reasons.

In Zelda, the controls feels fluid and you feel like you aren't restricted. Alundra is like playing Zelda with old school Castlevania controls.Yeah, jumping from switch to switch at an awkward diagonal was my biggest problem with this game.

Prove that this happened.https://tinyurl.com/2utrhhj5 (tiny url link to NBC chicago) In a phone interview with the Washington Post, Rittenhouse revealed the gun he used in the shooting was purchased using money he received from an unemployment check during the coronavirus pandemic. Rittenhouse, 17, could not legally purchase the weapon himself, so he gave the money to a friend to buy it for him, according to both Rittenhouse and police reports. "I got my $1,200 from the coronavirus Illinois unemployment, because I was on furlough from YMCA, and I got my first unemployment check so I was like, 'Oh I'll use this to buy it,'" he told the Post.

In other words Jesus loved him.What bothers me about this aspect isn't that it was legal to carry to Wisconsin. It's that as an Illinois resident, he was not legally able to buy one. So he gave money to a friend to buy it for him and gave it to him when they met up later. --- The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact. Everything else, is theory. |
