I tried to mitigate his wastefulness but after a few servings of the granola I ended up tossing the rest because even if it didn't actively damage my health it still tasted stale.

The same with his rice cakes. I mean the rice cakes probably didn't taste great when they were produced, but three years in the pantry did them no favors

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I never throw food away because I eat it all with great speed and vigor.

I'm taking an environmental career class next semester to see if there is anything there for me

I'm a professional geologist and have worked along side biologists and engineers so if you have any questions or whatever about the environmental world I'm happy to offer insight.

I worked on a drill rigs for several years drilling at contaminated sites, I currently work on the state government side of public water supply, and in the next few weeks I'm going to start working at my state's geologic survey to manage GIS data and make figures for publications.

I like art and video games too and GIS is my happy place. Making professional quality maps scratches the technical and artistic parts of my brain. I use lots of cool technology to collect data and then make it look really nice so people can understand it. You should check out GIS/drafting. It's a nice balance of satisfying technical and creative urges.

I just saw two TV commercials in a row, from Facebook and Wells Fargo, that were the same template of "Sorry we were extremely lovely mega-corporations, but trust us, everything is gonna be different"

Who do these commercials actually convince

They are meant to convince the investors who think those are convincing to poor people that the company will save its image

i just got back into Slay the Spire and it's even better than before. definitely worth picking up for the discounted early access price, as it's basically a complete game right now, with just a bit more incoming before the launch.

check it out if you like Darkest Dungeon and card games

Level 70 is nothing, im almsot level 65 after about 320 hours, the wild maniacs you have to look out for is people with stars next to their name which means theyre level 100+, the highest ive seen is 175 in the wild

I'm really tempted by cheap D2 because I haven't enjoyed a singleplayer/pve fps in years and Destiny at least has lots of non hitscan enemies and I love the Halo campaigns but man, so much about it seems so incredibly lovely

I would say that playing Destiny (2) as a solo game would not be very enjoyable

heck playing it with other people isn't very enjoyable either

It looks like the coolest take by far on the low ttk iron sights shooter which is a type of game I really don't like outside of like, EYE, but yeah that factory level looks insanely loving cool and having a villain of the level mech boss fight every level seems great

DO4M would probably be right up my alley but unfortunately it completely cooks my computer.

Nintendo has confirmed that Virtual Console will not return on Switch. In a statement to GameSpot, the company said, "There are currently no plans to bring classic games together under the Virtual Console banner as has been done on other Nintendo systems."

In lieu of the Virtual Console, Nintendo will offer a program called "NES - Nintendo Switch Online." As one of the benefits for subscribing to Switch's upcoming paid online service, players will have access to a library of classic NES games, all of which will feature enhancements such as online play. At launch, the service will feature 20 games, including classics like Super Mario Bros. 3 and The Legend of Zelda. Nintendo says that additional titles will be added to the library regularly.

sticking that gameplay model in an open world instead of the whack a mole corridors in cod games is more interesting but still incredibly boring to me.
