Though I didn't play the story mode option for Mass Effect 3, I thought that difficulty setting is ideal for those just wanting to play through the story without doing the bulk of the gameplay. Would be nice if said option is the the norm in some games.

It went from 65 to 55 to 65 in a quarter mile. Got me doing 74.

Those kinda zones/towns peeve me. Whenever I drive to Mammoth, CA I have to be mindful of when the highway go from 70ish MPH down to 25-35 MPH. There's enough warning and distance to slow down but still kinda annoying.

500? holy shit the cop didn't even write it as going 10 over? they usually do that

I was probably hovering around 80 MPH in a 65 MPH zone so I may very well have been 15-17 MPH over when his radar was on me.

Another reason I didn't fight it was because I was in my Boy Scouts uniform at the time. I was on my way to a camping trip and was hoping to rush home, grab something I forgot, and rejoin the caravan. It was already embarrassing enough to be caught speeding while in uniform.

Nah. I knew I was guilty. I saw no reason to lie. Granted going 17 MPH over bumped me to the next tier of fines and I ended up paying about $500. Fortunately the traffic school part was done online.

It's not at all uncommon for the cop to just not show up, which basically means you get a free pass.

Might vary between country/state. I have heard down in Los Angeles at least, the court now find a day that works for the officer and all the folks given tickets by said officer are assigned that day. So instead of the officer being on the offender's time, it is the offenders being on the officer's time.

You wouldn't be talking about some sort of specific example, would you?

Most recent one I can think of is from Game of Thrones but I think there have been other cases where the arrows somehow misses these important characters.

Zeus posted...

Of course, the really annoying thing is the near-absence of helmets in historical fiction & fantasy.

Ah yes, this is a beef of mine as well. It is more funny when said character charges into battle with the helmet and then decides to remove it in the middle of combat.

I'd like said character to be given a meaningful death. If said character is of any importance it would only make sense he/she is smart and experienced enough to avoid meaningless death.

Granted I'd admit surviving a barrage of arrows in an open field without some sort of shield where anyone can get hit is one I find a bit questionable.

For certain social media and other similar services (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, etc,) given the huge presence they have I do wonder if censorship from them can be really be detrimental to allowing someone to express him/herself.

Of course said person can use other services but when these companies dominate the social media field to the point that other services have a mere fraction of users, that person's voice will not be heard nearly as much as on other services.

I have heard complaints about how liberal Facebook is and whatnot and retorts includes telling said complainers to make their own conservative version of Facebook. If we're being honest with ourselves, it is unlikely another version of Facebook will pop up anytime soon.

At 33 years old, too young for me. It isn't the gap that's the issue it is the different perspective of life that might be an issue. I am not against dating a 46-47 year old as we might share a more similar perspective of life but with a 19-20, it would simply be too different.

I'm usually pretty streamlined - Say I get a classic order of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and peas - I will start with one thing, eat all of that, then move onto the next thing (unless I mix the potatoes and peas or some shit). But in general it's all of one thing and then all of the next.

I kinda do the same. Eat all of one part of a dish first and then move to another. Oddly enough, when eating a $50-70 steak at some restaurant, instead of digging into the "meat" of the dish right away, I tend to eat the sides first and leaving the steak for last.

If you have interest in someone they would be notified of that and if said person return that show of interest, then the app would connect you both. From there it's up to the individuals involved.

D:OS2 is gonna blow all of those suckers away.

Doubtful in my opinion. I had a blast with Divinity: Original Sin but I feel this style of RPG is still too much of a niche. I'd imagine among the average player RPGs like these are too wordy and they want their quest journal to highlight where to go instead of actually reading the journal and figuring it out for yourself.

Even among some RPG fans they don't like having to control your entire party like that. Dragon Age: Origins lets you setup macros to control your party more easily and some folks still thought it was too involving.

Though if anything, I wanna say keep games like this "small". Let us fans continue to support them via Kickstarter, Fig, pre-orders, etc, etc. Don't let it get so big that developers feel the need to "normalize" it to appease the general masses.

Hell, I have coworkers saying we should just go in and take out North Korea. Even if China is bluffing, who is going to deal with the aftermath of assisting North Korea's citizens and whatever damages South Korea incurs?

This is true, but I'm worried in 20 years they might have many accurate intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles and at that point it won't matter if they can't beat the US in a conventional war.

At which point shouldn't our own technological advancement possibly make nukes from less developed counties seem nothing more than just spitwads?

Funny enough, I coulda sworn despite the Federation being a utopia society, holograms are essentially treated like slaves despite their self-awareness. Would be interesting to see where our society take this some decades or centuries from now.

Jokes aside, we as a society still have issues with racism, basic human rights, animal rights, etc, etc. Regardless of where one stands on these issues I don't think we'll ever be "mature" enough to progress past these and start to deal with other issues.

I don't really think that is fair to say. Normal hurricanes, sure. But this has basically put a major city under the ocean.

I lived in south florida for a while and went through 4 hurricanes, Francis being the worst since Andrew to hit the area. I went without power for 2 weeks. Not really on the same level here.

Touche. We have had plenty of magnitude 3-4ish earthquakes out there. So small that I sleep through them. If/When a big one hits though then we'll truly feel the sting of it. There is only so much anyone can do to prepare for such disaster short of having a second home in another state. After seeing videos and pictures of this, it truly is baffling and frightening.

"You must gather your party before venturing forth"
"Go for the eyes Boo! Go for the eyes!"

Not to make light of the situation but I had a guildmate in World of Warcraft who lives in Florida. She and her family prefers dealing with hurricanes instead of earthquakes in the west coast. I think her reasoning is one could be aware of and prepare for said hurricane whereas an earthquake can hit without warning at which point you can only hope your earthquake kit is adequate.

But honestly, regardless of what warnings are given, how can one truly prepare for a disaster of this magnitude? Even with flooding insurance and whatnot it gotta get mentality and physical exhausting eventually. I can only hope all the affected citizens will recover in one way or another.

I assume it is still possible to donate money to your favorite modders instead of paying them via the developers, right? At least this way the modders get all/most of the donation instead of a cut after the developers take their share. That being said, there are a few YouTubers and manga scanlation groups that I donate to. Can't say there is one or two modder in particular whose work I follow.

But in reality both characters were played by different actors.

....Aegons now? As far as I know, the HBO series mentioned Rhaegar having two children who died during the sacking of Kings Landing. Were their names actually mentioned? I am just a little stump that one of them was Aegon and yet now Jon's official name is Aegon.

Bookwise, Aegon was swapped with a commoner's baby for some wine, and was raised elsewhere under the alias Young Griff. I know the HBO series never incorporated this plot line but now Jon's real name is apparently Aegon.

Did Lyanna simply named her child after Rhaegar's son so technically there is/was two Aegon or was Rhaegar's son's name never mentioned in the HBO series?


Comments are appreciated,

I honestly enjoy stealth-kills even if it's less convenient than just sneaking by them. One of my favorite parts of Skyrim was sneaking around laying waste to forts, making use of my Khajiit's night vision perk to spot people even in darker areas (and also so I didn't need to risk being seen because I was holding a light or something). Then I'd use a bow to kill them from a distance so I wasn't ever at risk.

I had a more perverse approach. Using the pickpocket level 100 passive, stripe them naked, and leave em be. I wish the game woulda adjusted the dialogue accordingly to reflect the situation.

I am gonna wait till the next season of West World releases, resubscribe to HBO Now, and catch up on Game of Thrones and watch West World. Hearing about the events of GoT from my coworkers and watching YouTube clips is surprisingly good enough for me.

I think part of me is still holding out for the original story being told via the books so I am not 100% interested in the events of the HBO series.

For whatever reason I always feel compelled to kill/knockout everyone. Hell, many of missions in Deus Ex I would sneak in and when leaving, kill/knockout everyone. Deep down I think it is my desire or compulsion to collect everything, guns, ammo, datapads, etc.

Not at all. There are real life cases of aunts/uncles being same age or younger than the niece/nephew. Some parents could have had a kid in the early years and well later in their lives have another child. By around then the first kid(s) might also have their first child.
