The fats love them. It's all the fun of riding a bike with no effort. When I'm out running I notice that 90% of people on them aren't pedaling at all and just run the throttle.

I was camping this past weekend and there were a number of kids riding around the campsite on e-bikes, and e-scooters just running the throttle. All of them overweight. It annoyed me to no end.

Must be why all of the Mycenaean frescoes and artwork depicted themselves as black. Oh, wait.

What happened with the lawsuit? Did the current owners screw the previous devs / owner out of their money?

Long story short is that a south korean company bought the company that made subnautica 2. The devs were promised up to a $250 million bonus if the game released on time in 2025 and hit a certain number of copies sold. The devs said the game was ready to go in the fall of 2025 but the new owner didn't want to pay that bonus so he hatched a plan, using chatgpt, to fire the devs and push back the release date.

A court ruled in the devs favor, forced the new company to rehire them, and pay the bonuses if the sales numbers are reached.
I hope they sell enough copies so that the scummy publisher has to pay the developers their performance bonus.

I have friends who have never cared about college football excited about UK football this fall.

I have been nice and not told them about how horrible Joe Sloan is as an OC.
When the US - N. Vietnam Peace Treaty was signed in 1973 the US had won every single major battle of the war and S. Vietnam controlled something like 80% of the entirety of Vietnam. The South fell because the north almost immediately attacked S. Vietnam once the US military began leaving and the US did nothing to help.

Did we win? No, because S. Vietnam fell after we pulled out, but we definitely didn't lose based on the situation when we peaced out.
If you want to blame someone then blame the wise latina for slow rolling her dissent in Callais. The GA primary is in 6 days, there is no way for new districts to be made and a primary done in that short amount of time. It's just not feasible.

This one is about combat and the big part of this i find cool and dont believe. It claims theyre develeping a new ATB system that allows you to play this as a turn based game as close to classic FF as possible while still working within the confines of the actions system combat parameters.

Please, sweet baby Jesus, let this be true. I know it won't happen but man do I want it to.
I hope the Supreme Court takes up this case and gives VA Democrats a win on their argument that "election day" is specifically one day, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Then because of that eliminates early and mail-in voting outside of in-person absentee voting for cause and military members overseas..
They also want the US to withdraw troops from every nation around Iran and for the US to pay Iran for the war none of which is ever going to happen.

When I become dictator I will issue an edict that says to all game studios and developers, don’t even mention your fricking game until three months before the release date. And when that release date is announced it better fricking we’ll get released on that date or you and your entire employee work base will be water boarded and a fine of 5 million dollars will be leveled against your company.

Can you include that every game must close the menu, no matter what screen you're on, if you hit the menu key again. Thanks.

Beshear is popular because of his last name. If he wasn’t a Beshear, he wouldn’t have gotten elected. Lucky for us, a lot of his bullshite gets stonewalled.

It’s mainly this but also because he “supports teachers” and for some reason eastern Kentuckians who are otherwise republican voters worship teachers.

I think you take that too seriously. We're talking about optics of the schools fielding teams during WWII.

Army and Navy both fielded teams during WW2 with Army winning the national championship in 44 and 45.
I think it's interesting that the Commonwealth's attorney is arguing that there is a single election day, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. However, Virginia has early voting and allows votes to be received by mail up to the Friday after the election but then defends early voting as "participating in the election before the election." Dumb

ETA: I was wrong, it was two attorneys for the Commonwealth with that argument not both sides, they just split their time.

ETA 2: I'm surprised there wasn't any argument from the appellants on the language of the ballot question due to it being unclear.
I don't think spending any more money would've changed the results. Trump counties turned out and almost every county moved to the right. The problem was, and always will be, Fairfax and Loudon.
You know what, I stand with this Native American group but not for their nonsense reason. Rather, until the Redskins go back to being the Redskins they shouldn't use anything like this. Either go back to what your name should be or stand by your awful "commanders" name and logos.
1) 9 (my favorite game of all time)
2) 6
3) 8
4) 10
5) 4
6) 7
7) 5
8) 15
9) 12
10) 3
11) 2
12) 1
13) 16
14) 13

13 has no redeeming qualities at all. Horrible game with the worst character in video game series history (Hope). I did enjoy 13-2 though. As for the rest of my rankings I hate action combat in a final fantasy game so 16, the most action oriented one and the only one with no party members gets 2nd worst. 1-3 I think are self-explanatory; fun games but barebones stories and still better than 16 and 13. 15 and 12 are low because they aren't turn-based although, again I enjoyed those two as well. I have always considered 7 to be incredibly overrated although it is objectively a great game.

For the top 3: 8 was the first final fantasy game I remember playing so it has a special place in my heart. I love the story although it is the game most in need of a remake to fix the level scaling nonsense where it is better for you to not level up the entire game. I don't mind the junction system. 6 is one of the greatest games ever made and would have easily been #1 if 9 didn't exist.

In general all of the games outside of 13 and 16 I have enjoyed with the series having a few of the best games ever made in my opinion.

She and the Janitor are in the next episode, which apparently the season finale. (I hate where we are with serial TV now where nine ~22 minute episodes constitutes a season).

It's the British model and it sucks.

On-topic great last episode although the gay stuff with Dr. Park is too much because every other line out of his mouth is about being bi. The nurses also continue to be awful and they need to be replaced in season 2.
