That's a good long run, but rip to a local legend anyhow. See you on the other side Captain Dallas.

Need to find a really old VW and throw on a 'bought this before he burned the reichstag' sticker.

theoriginalrat

Thank you for the interrobang.

Got a 2022 model as my first bike about a month ago. Been lots of fun so far, spending lots of time getting it all tricked out for mini-adventuring.

Or go to a bunch of different locations across the galaxy. Athaeneum worlds, Riis, Torobatl, Qugu worlds, etc. So many ruins to explore.

Agree to disagree. I dunno why but the renegade mode just didn't click like the Dreadnaught mode it was based on.

theoriginalrat

A couple of pretty bad comics, though.

Timeline or Legends page.

They finally got to take a season off from the destiny treadmill, but it also meant laying off the entire team and shooting themselves in both feet and the testicles.

theoriginalrat

Isn't that kind of what Rising tried to do?

Never meet your heroes. Osiris is a grumpy old man, Saint went soft on the Fallen, Zavala is a broken old man, Cayde is a dead old man, Rasputin turned out to be just some guy personality-wise rather than an unknowable machine intellect and then he died, Bray is a grumpy old man, Ikora is still cool, Crow became less annoying which is good, Mara got nerfed pretty hard. 

What legends are still out there doing legend stuff? Efrideet?

Murder-suicide.

They were called Battlegrounds because a few years ago they announced that all Strikes would be available for free. So, they created a new Not-Strike category called Battlegrounds so they could paywall them before adding them to the vanguard playlists the next year.

Seattle area is very expensive as far as cost of living goes, not like Switzerland expensive but closer to New York in a lot of ways. It's not as rainy as the reputation but it does tend to rain a little a lot of the time in the winter and will be pretty dark. Great if you like the outdoors. If you don't care about the big city life and want to live a bit closer to nature it can be much cheaper to live in the smaller towns closer to the mountains.

Lots and lots of local beer and whiskey if you're into that, good scuba diving if you don't mind colder water, excellent hiking and camping especially for the more adventurous. 

Currently a lot of very public homelessness and stuff like that but it tends to be clustered in certain parts of specific neighborhoods. That being said, don't leave your bicycle locked on the street overnight.

Remember, the outdoors here are different from much of Europe. There are large, potentially dangerous mammals in the woods including bears and mountain lions. It's still generally safe, just remember it's not a theme park and take precautions.

Wonder if this would pose a threat to scuba divers? I know people dive the old bridge's wreck sometimes.

I notice when the fare people get on, they stay on long enough before asking for fares that folks have plenty of time to hop off at stops.

theoriginalrat

I don't understand either. Building more dense housing is really the only proven method for bringing down prices that doesn't involve some kind of urban decay based reduction in population.

theoriginalrat

At this point, when he's certainly changed clothes, possibly changed hairstyle, etc does it do much good to say 'young man of this or that race'? I guess maybe he had distinct tattoos.

theoriginalrat

There's someone named 'Goose BM'?

Fluffy on the motorcycle

Menu that feels that feels like a world vs a menu that feels like a menu.

Specifically the business of Xbox is not doing well. They've been losing the last two console generations pretty badly and they made a lot of acquisitions and business bets that simply haven't paid off how they hoped. A lot of this is the fallout from the post-COVID entertainment bubble continuing to deflate, some of it is increased hardware costs.

theoriginalrat

Should we praise the city for doing what we supposedly pay for it to do when there's no world cup going on?

theoriginalrat

More little 'kachick' sound effects are always welcome. Big reason why I like Polaris Lance, so many little 'effect triggered' feedback sfx tickling my brain while I land headshots.
