Like most everything else, you gotta cook it right for it to be good. To be fair I like pork mostly when it’s cooked until it starts to fall apart (ham, pulled pork and so on).

A game of rampant capitalism

Yeah I think everything that I’m aware of uses version numbers, not that the numbers always necessarily make much sense either

Get somekind of workout and stretching routine going on. It’s much harder to build the habit later when you’ve got maybe a family going on and probably more work responsibilities.

Sounds pretty typical for ear infection, maybe more in the tubes that are between ear and nose. I had one earlier this year that was very similar to yours. I did get antibiotics for it after about a week and it still took nearly two weeks to clear up completely.

I’ve been using a pair of Sennheiser HD210s for closer to 10 years. Light and comfy and decent audio quality for the price.

It’s just the foam bullshit thing, you’re good

Pool’s closed…

Interesting that they made it a choice. Typically the weapon or whatever is a reward for reaching X amount of donations. I respect it.

Is my only friend*

Not sure if this works, so testing

Used to buy this beauty in 4-packs, but unfortunately has not been available in that form for a while.

I’m playing some Path of Exile again, I’ve been having pretty good time with the Necropolis league

So…sure we are the baddies, but it’s OK because America?

I don’t do cocktails much, mostly because I don’t really have the ingredients around. One I like to do now and then is whisky (around half the drink, preferably spicy rye) and the rest about equal proportions of apple juice and ginger ale, poured over a chunk of ice.

Oh look it’s a Finn. The premade salmiakkikossu or home made turkinpippuri infusion?

Farmframe is pretty solid pick. Ever growing amount of content to play and collect, plus the gameplay is fun. For me it’s kind of missing a reason to farm all the stuff though, but I’ve also stuck with it on and off about 9 years now

Path of Exile for sure, not sure about the second though. Maybe Dark Souls 2, Elden Ring, or maybe XCom 2.

Sure, but parents are responsible for their kid’s internet use, not the fucking government. All these bullshit "won’t anyone think of the kids’ internet regulation things are all about tracking the whole population, the kids are just the excuse they use to try to roll this nonsense trough.

Nah, sounds pretty close to how I did on my first playtrough as well. All of those are among the hardest fights early on. In my experience it gets a little easier as you level up, but there are still a lot of fights that can absolutely wreck you if you’re not careful or not using all the tools you have available.

A few things that helped me:

• pick and choose fights. Many of the harder fights you can skip and come back later
• use line of sight (and elevation!) to your advantange. Enemies can’t use ranged attacks on you if they can’t see you, and if you’re above them they have penalty to hit and you get advantage!
• use ground effects to create choke points/limit enemy movement. You have grease spell/bottles available early and you get a lot stronger stuff as you progress
• use environmental effects when they’re available. There’s a ton of explosive barrels and other things to trigger that can be very helpful
