I have spent years trying to find a Super Mario World or Super Mario Galaxy feel to games. I am not looking for photo realistic. I am looking for a game.

Every person has a massive profile (table / database) built all about them. This isn’t conspiracy. This is big business. There are a few data brokerage companies focused on people:

-Acxiom (worlds biggest broker, pretty much every piece of junk mail you get drives from a company purchasing data from them)

-TransUnion (credit, such as if you pay the minimum bill or are late on payments)

-CoreLogic (all real estate purchase information)

-FourSquare Labs (location broker which i find to be particularly insidious)

There are also databases built specifically for business entities, such as Data Axle.

And companies will purchase packages from ALL of these data brokers when they want to target a specific audience.

Divinity: Original Sin 1 / 2 Dragon Age (any) Baldur’s Gate (any)

Excellent, LONG story if you want them to be. You have a group to adventure with.

There is a three-song version of this by Howard Keel that you should really listen to.

The Man of La Mancha Dulcinea Dream the Impossible Dream

My spouse had a suped up Challenger named Gurtrude. It was a funny reaction when people saw it for the first time. They expected a beater.

In this video:

It looks like the new cartridge will be very similar to the original Switch Cartridge. We can’t confirm for sure, and we can only speculate why.

Yeah, if a parent yells at me for grabbing a kids hand to keep them from running into traffic, I will look them in the face and tell them that I will just let their kid get smeared for 80 yards next time.

I have no patience for that.

On all non-steam games added to my library, I always do a quick internet search for “+ steam deck control” to help with the layout. It’s not perfect, but I find a lot of useful info for starters.

The cool thing about the Deck is that you can push the Steam key and update those controller settings on the fly.

I play all my GOG games on the Steam Deck. It takes only a very small amount of tweaking. Additionally, I add them as “non-steam games” in the library, update the artwork and icon, and have a very clean interface.

I play Minecraft on the Deck the same way.

Nope. I actually never want to be described as nice.

Fair, though? Yes, I would like to think that I am fair.

Ask locals who were present in 1997 about the Phoenix Lights.

I’m with you. I buy almost exclusively on-sale games. I try to buy the super-premium editions about a year after release so I can get lots of content for less than the original game costs, and I avoid any p2w or lootbox games altogether.

Do I miss interactions with some friends who only play the latest titles? Absolutely. I have primarily been a single player gamer anyway, so maybe it just doesn’t impact me as terribly.

OR

1. Charges were filed but dropped later on

Tyler Childers - Long Violent History

It’s the worst that it’s been since the last time it happened It’s happening again right in front of our eyes There’s updated footage, wild speculation Tall tales and hearsay and absolute lies

Been passed off as factual, when actually the actual Causes they’re awkwardly blocking the way Keeping us all from enjoyin’ our evening Shoving its roots through the screens in our face

Now, what would you get if you heard my opinion Conjecturin’ on matters that I ain’t never dreamed In all my born days as a white boy from Hickman Based on the way that the world’s been to me?

It’s called me belligerent, it’s took me for ignorant But it ain’t never once made me scared just to be Could you imagine just constantly worryin’ Kickin’ and fightin’, beggin’ to breathe?

How many boys could they haul off this mountain Shoot full of holes, cuffed and layin’ in the streets ‘Til we come into town in a stark ravin’ anger Looking for answers and armed to the teeth?

Thirty-ought-sixes, Papaw’s old pistol How many, you reckon, would it be, four or five? Or would that be the start of a long, violent history Of tucking our tails as we try to abide?

Or would that be the start of a long, violent history Of tucking our tails as we try to abide?

Or just stay in the shower with your shower beer and it ends up being a self cleaning problem.
