Weird question. I would say some annoying game reviewer to whom I neither remember their name nor the game being reviewed…

I think it’s over specialization. I loved that in D1 that any character could use anything. By D4 every dropped item was character specific which meant no finding cool items of a different class to build the next character around. Also just the finding items. It seemed like every item I found or listed at the shop was just another 1 to 3 points in the character I was playing primary attribute, another point or two specific to that character and a few random filler bonuses. Just boring. Maybe it got better in the later game but as far as I got in the open betas and free weekends convinced me not to buy it…

And yet you need twitter to get your message out. Irony in that…

Go to an Asian market and buy better Ramen. The good brands have three packets, soup base, flavored oil, and chili…

Though everyone else’s recommendations are much more healthy.

Cute but totally fake…

Movie is quite good but I think the music/singing is a bit better than the acting…

Toss up between the fine conical strainer and the microplane…

On the one hand, Driscoll did have a meeting to discuss the current state of the army with Trump the week before he resigned. On the other hand a quick search of who this Dominic Michael Tripi is opened a deep and weird rabbit hole. I would take anything he tweets with a few grains if not a pound of salt…

How could you forget William Shatner (Montreal, Quebec) days before the 60th anniversary of Star Trek? For shame…

Sounds like a lot of people will be full of shit. Literally instead of just metaphorically…

Of what, rust?

Oh, it’s definitely with me. Good bikes are a pleasure to ride and get you there faster, handle well and are generally safer. Clunky cruisers and lesser bikes handle poorly, go slow and shift even worse should they have gears. I still ride the 1987 Bridgestone MB-1: Cro-mo steel, suntour, drop bars. It’s old but nothing shitty about it.

I just don’t get societies that embrace the bicycle but ignore the technology and quality that makes them good.

But are they good bikes though? I’ve been to Amsterdam twice, once in the 80’s and again a couple of years ago. I love the bicycle culture but the bikes themselves, not so much. I saw a few decent ones but they were few and far between the heavy looking cruisers most were riding. I was a transportational cyclist in California for a few decades and my last bike was $1100 new in 1987. Would be a few thousand today and I can’t picture riding anything lesser. My standard commute was a little over 11 Miles, so 18 km…

Uh…you can take a train from New York to Philadelphia today and it leaves like every 20 minutes. Two a day from New York to Cincinnati, but 19 hours. Car would be half that, airplane a fraction. I think it’s less conspiracy and more convenience…

Go full Batty…

150 years ago, most cities were a bunch of unconnected small towns surrounding a central smaller city. They slowly grew together into the sprawl we have today.

The intended experience of a wonderfully detailed open world interrupted often by annoying phone calls…
