its hard to come up w/ one true favorite rpg. but i guess my favorite rpg, in the sense that i can totally come back to it time and time again? might & magic 6. it can not be beat in terms of presenting the player w/ an epic quest that spans literal decades of player character lives. an enormous world filled with stuff to find, quests to do, dungeons to explore. it might be the best CRPG translation ever made of those dumb super-epic mega campaigns that u would come up with as a teenager for your d&d group. the only drawbacks i give the game is that its graphics dont hold up well, and the combat system is a bit more frustrating than, say, the wizardry games

lol look at this noob who never played M&M 4+5 (World of Xeen)

Former marketing VP claims Tinder’s CMO called her a “whore” at a company event while company downplayed her role as a co-founder.

That's way out in the Strip and it's supposed to be really good, I'm at the other end of Penn so I've never made it out there.

We're gonna drive down to the Strip at some point during this summer to go on a Penn mac shopping spree, so we'll hit it then. Also the old lady who sells banh mi down there.

She's down at the very end on the left side of the street (facing east) where the BBQ rib dude used to be, and she serves banh mi from a street cart. She owns.

hasn't uber been operating in philly for way longer than they have in pittsburgh? how come it's only now that the PUC decided to wake up

probably peduto's fault for being so enthusiastic about it

Pittsburgh is pretty geographically compact, so much so that Uber/Lyft pretty much function as "Baller with private car" services only (which I guess is sort of the point). Philly's a good bit bigger as the crow flies.

I cannot imagine a reason why I would ever use Uber or Lyft here.

Also I don't know how long you've lived here/whatever, but public transit was a shitload better before 2006. A lot of the problems now have less to do with funding and more to do with keeping people where they're at.

oh yeah totally, I haven't been here super long but i know that the port authority's main financial problem is keeping up with their pensions

The pensions aren't the problem, Allegheny County and Harrisburg have choked off funding to ever tighter levels since around 2002. They have yearly financial reports available going back to 1998 or so and state support is less than half in FY 2013 what it was in 2001.

Every once in a while some shithead will talk about how a bus driver they know "makes $100k". Four drivers did that in 2012, and they worked 30-50 hours of OT a week.
