I walked into the lynel coliseum the other night unprepared and did not realize I couldn't sneak out of view to cook gloom-heal foods, I killed my way through four of them but couldn't pick up the loot because I was so close to death because I couldn't ungloom my hearts (I was cheesing it pretty hard by the end, I really am not fond of this game and BOTW's difficulty spike revolving around damage soaking/outputting instead of like smarter enemies or new attack patterns etc.), and then the final lynel got a hit in and killed me. Respawn sets you right when his gate opens but all the lynel loot drops despawned. I was so tilted I fought the guy a dozen+ times over and over again with only four hearts and a fairy until I beat him BUT IT DIDN'T MAKE ME FEEL BETTER

idk, it's just an alleged draft with his name all over it. it could be real or not, but everyone will know it's real if he actually files something. until then it's just bathroom palace intrigue

happy birthday lobster man @Vercaties!

"invest in stealth tech" they said "it'll be worth it" they said yeah, worth it for nameraka when he finds your lost plane

I grabbed the game when it was free on EGS a couple years ago but I never got to the point of installation. Was totally afraid of getting completely sucked in.

This is probably the crux of the issue. If negative reactions and punishments aren't breaking through to him, then they will only serve as a temporary roadblock instead of a learning experience (in fact he could be learning the wrong things, like how to sneak it around his parents). That's probably a question for his therapist if he has one.

PROVE IT

Yeah I'm wondering if he's actually like emotionally connecting the overspending to the punishment. Like does he internally recognize it's bad to overspend when he gets in trouble? Or did he just cry purely because he was punished? One thing in his defense though is that "properly" developed freemium games are intentionally addictive. Every aspect is geared towards instant gratification dopamine hits and they are literal poison.

How does he respond to the punishment at the time?

I was gonna make a joke about not being able to hear the clown horn when he honks her, but then she put her hand between his legs

noooooooon dont watch it

I'm summoning as hard as I can @Rogue_Alphonse hhhhhnnnnnnnggggggghhhh

I read a thread somewhere that showed all the scientists' evidence, about the DNA and the bone structure and the eggs and the liquid diet mouth and I'm just kinda hung up on like "if there was an alien, would it *really* have two arms, two legs, a humanoid face and body structure, opposable thumbs, eggs, or even like DNA as we understand it?" I just assume aliens aren't just star wars, it'd probably be stuff we wouldn't even know to comprehend. Buuuuuuuuuuuut it is fun to think about, so I get it.

are you sure you didn't spend $20 on Flubber and got a free TV out of it

I just went looking, and yeah jeopardy is not SAG-struck so that's the contractual out for Ken. Mayim as I understand it stood down out of solidarity at the end of last season, not out of union obligation. https://www.thewrap.com/ken-jennings-host-season-40-jeopardy-strikes/ And the producers forced production into gear while glossing over the WGA issue by reusing old WGAW material to shoot filler games. A lot of name-brand champs (within the jeopardy universe) refused to participate in a tournament of champions in this context, so they're doing a "second chance" tournament because there's a much larger pool of possible contestants to account for people refusing out of solidarity.

I'm also curious about Ken Jennings. I've heard everything from him being a scab to there being a specific carve-out that allows him to host Jeopardy, but he doesn't talk about it so I don't know the reality.

I remember them doing all sorts of stupid things to fill airtime (like the three-way feud) but I didn't remember it all being intentionally bad. Either way, was it really controversial in the way that it is now, or was it accepted but the pro strike people?

What were the strike politics when Conan/Stewart/Colbert returned to air during the last writers strike?
