they upped the ante of the ai for engineers, its a lot more tricky now, anything higher rank than you, should probably look out for

When did this happen? With a modestly tricked-out python I dominated just about anyone 1v1, and sometimes 1v2. I might just have to go back to the game since NMS didn't turn out the way I hoped.

Dude rolls up and knocks a bunch of time, eventually kind of yells something like "hey, hello". I answer, and he says he's with the neighborhood or something, I didn't really catch what he said, and he claims he has offers for cable/internet/security bundles, particularly asking if we have a security system, and says he's taking a survey for the number of TVs and computers we have in the house (ostensibly for cable boxes). We politely turned him away.

What the fuck? Have any of you experienced something like this? He's just walking door to door casually, in the middle of the day. It feels shady as fuck, like he's casing potential break-ins, and I do live in a high-crime city, but it seems odd to do this at 5:00 in the evening.

I did call the police department (not 911) and they're gonna send someone to see if he has credentials, so we'll see what happens.

johnny cash, of course

Chris Stapleton sounds a lot like young Cash, if you're interested in hearing more.

So is it not even a shared-world type of thing like Destiny? It's completely single-player?

For you to just assert it isn't medicine when it has been used to alleviate mental and physical illnesses is just ignorant. Cannabis has helped plenty of vets with trauma and depression.

Marijuana, as in the plant you buy from dealers or dispensaries, is not a medicine. It's a recreational drug. THC (or more often) CBD, are chemicals that may be used in medications. The important difference that I'm trying to highlight is that what RC's sister is using isn't regulated or designed to be a medicine. I think I'm being pretty clear that I recognize the medicinal use of those chemicals but nobody in the medical community is going to call a joint "medicine". I'll restate my previous analogy: eating willow bark isn't the same as taking a dose of aspirin.

There's nothing to "believe", that's my point. It's helping her. For you to imply she has no idea what she's doing and just thinks she's better because it "numbs" her while she's high is fucking retarded and rather rude.

Honestly, I have no idea if you're just fucking with me right now. You are completely misconstruing what I said. Any time a patient observes an improvement in their condition (i.e., they believe something they are doing is working), it ought to be discussed with her doctor so it can be safely incorporated into current treatment.

For all I know, her depression isn't life-threatening and while terrible, isn't causing her to want to kill herself daily. I grew up with a sister frequently trying to kill herself and have worked with kids in the same spectrum of the disorder, so whenever someone talks about depression I look at it from a worst-case, don't-fuck-around-with-meds perspective.

she's gonna tell her doctor that her meds aren't working and give that a try again.

That's great man. I'm all for sufferers of depression finding ways to improve their situation and health. Marijuana is not the issue; I'd be concerned about any behavior (eating, drinking, etc) that is potentially being used as a crutch against an illness.

I can't say I sympathize too much with your whole "marijuana is not medication" point. Especially when it is medication.

It isn't, just like eating willow isn't the same as popping an aspirin. Marijuana comes in hundreds of strains and potencies. The THC amounts aren't consistent, and is just providing a dulling of her symptoms; it's really not unlike those that take pain pills or stronger recreational drugs for the same purpose, and Meta expressed a concern about that. If a doctor is attempting to fine-tune her medication to get her into remission, his work is being undermined by uncontrolled marijuana use that he's likely unaware of; clearly the medication she's on now doesn't work to the desired effect, but if her doctor is only seeing improvement (because the marijuana is masking symptoms), then she's putting herself in a dangerous situation of reliance and potential abuse. This isn't about marijuana being the boogeyman drug from the 90s, it's about how it interferes with her current drug regimen. A patient should be disclosing with their doctor any potentially body or mind-altering substance they intend to use, especially in a case as serious as depression.

The whole subreddit is just people posting various videos of Sean saying you could see other players lol

is it that big of a deal? i don't get it

Two twitch users decided to meet up at the same location and once they were there they couldn't see each other

there's also the fact it was touted that the game was so vast you probably couldn't find another player even if you knew where they were, yet people have met up in less than a day

the leaked player who bought it from ebay like a week or so ago said he reached the centre of the galaxy after only 4 days of owning the game (i dont remember how many hours he played)

He had a theory it would only take 10 hours to reach the centre, and people already have from what I've seen.

Centre of the galaxy spoilers

It's just new game+

He did that by exploiting farming techniques to rapidly upgrade his warp drive. He basically grinded for a while and then went straight to the core. It should take an average player much longer.

2001 a Space Odesey

2001 is a masterpiece, though.

Critics hated it when it came out though.

Oh, you're right; I thought you were saying it was given too much praise.

Constantine gets legitimate criticism for being a poor adaptation, but by itself it's a great film.

That's a good idea. I'd never be suckered into buying garbage like that, but those that would be might enjoy the chance to do so without buying another copy of the game.

And then the remake of the original or Fusion I guess. Fusion sounds fun.

IMO Fusion and Zero Mission are two of the best GBA games available.

So this is only for food? Or is it saying it wants to keep Lego local to Denmark along with other goods?

The quote, or the article?

The friend I quoted would prefer local stores selling basically anything over national chain stores, whether it be food, Legos, etc.

It’s not the Metroid II players of the original will remember. Project AMR2 has taken the fast-paced gameplay of Metroid: Zero Mission for the Game Boy Advance, mixed it with the atmosphere of Super Metroid and incorporated a bunch of helpful new features:

Metroid Zero Mission style gameplay
Map system
Updated enemy AI
Minibosses
New areas
Challenging Metroid fights
Stackable beam system
Completely redrawn enemy and Metroid sprites
Log system with non-intrusive narrative
High quality soundtrack

Looks pretty great, though I haven't played it. Just watched the YouTube video so far.

For anyone that's played recently, I remember that I need to have loyalty locked down before going to the dead Reaper, and from there I need to get Legion's loyalty done, but are there any time-critical things to do before that point? Trying for a perfect paragon run after I royally fucked it up on my first playthrough.

If they legitimately charged you without your consent, rather than charging you because you forgot about a recurring payment you set up (which I suspect is the case), you can dispute the charge through your bank.
