+1 for Inscryption. I started playing it blind because I saw it was a card battler. The twist left my jaw on the floor.


I only like open world games when I can really immerse myself into roleplaying. Oblivion and FFXI (if that counts) were perfect for this style of playing. Most open world games just don’t hit the mark, unfortunately, and I’d rather play a linear game that feels like reading a good book.


Howdy yinzer, glad your outage wasn’t too bad. May 6 is rough.



Yes sorry, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, a few hours west of Washington DC


Pittsburgh, 40% of households lost power on Tuesday, the worst power outage in the history of the city.




Went ahead and requested it off work. Hopefully I don’t lose power for a fuckin week like I did with Oblivion Remastered.


Take a vacation and see if that improves things. If so, burnout. If not, look for other reasons that you’re lacking motivation.


No, I heat it up. It tastes better and has a better texture when heated.


A lack of organization. There’s no one central voice organizing large scale protests, so you get hundreds or thousands of smaller protests that don’t attract media attention.


Agreed, Finch is a great way to keep track of self-care and watch your little creature thrive through it.


I wouldn’t recommend it. I did this once (didn’t see the cop). He just pulled up next to me at the next red light and shook his head in disapproval, but I fully expected to be pulled over. Tbf I’m white and was presenting female at the time, so I imagine it would have gone differently if I was any other demographic.


I’m not sure I agree with this, unless OP did something offensive. I’m back in the dating world for the first time in nearly a decade, and with every match that goes poorly either I explain “I’m sorry, I don’t see this going anywhere further but I wish you the best.” or they do the same for me. The only instance of ghosting was when a man tried to SA me a few months ago.

Jobs you’re applying to, as well, should send a response to your application even if it’s just an automated generic email.


Strongly depends on the establishment serving the daiquiri. Some places load it up with booze, others only put in a half shot. There’s no standard recipe. Be warned that sugar-heavy drinks like a daiquiri often cause hangovers more easily than non-sugary alcoholic drinks.

You’re probably better off just ordering your favorite diet soda or a club soda and a shot of vodka, whiskey, or rum on the side. Mix half of the shot with your drink and see how you feel, then go from there.


Alcohol. I never drank until I got an IT internship and the boss was big into craft beers. I started drinking craft beer every night just to have something to bond with him through to try to turn the internship into a full-time job. I did get the job, but then struggled for years with alcohol dependence.

After my dad died I nearly drank myself to death and managed to quit for an entire year. Then I got cheated on, and home was no longer a safe space, so I hung out at the bar every day instead. It’s been 6 months and I’ve gone from ~75 beers / week to ~24. Just tapering myself off slowly. Wegovy helps - I can’t have more than a few drinks without feeling super bloated now.


I’m the creator of the “still waiting on OP” meme with Jack Nicholson in The Shining. My life peaked when I created that in 2010.

Not sure how to embed images from mobile, but it’s this one: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/159/324/flash11752_Still-Waiting-on-OP.jpg


Just search for “Microsoft 365 Admin” jobs. Glassdoor lists the range as 88k-131k. I’m in a low cost of living area, so I assume bigger cities would pay even better.


I’m a Microsoft 365 admin. It’s the easiest job I’ve ever had and it pays 6 figures. I don’t even have a bachelor’s, but no techie person likes Microsoft 365 so they avoid it like the plague, which I saw as an opportunity.


Gifts for my best friend who broke both of his arms?
My bestie broke both of his arms and wrists two days ago. He's in his 20s, a gamer, has a pregnant wife and a young kid. Any ideas for gifts I can get to cheer him up? He'll have no use of his arms for 3 months. Already got a bidet for him and hooked it up. Looking into accessible gaming controllers, but he said that the pain is so bad rn that even alternative controllers are probably a no go.

What forgotten cult classic games are worth revisiting?
I've recently rekindled my love for Katamari Damacy and it made me wonder if there's any other amazing cult classics out there that aren't talked about these days. What are your recommendations?
