I used to arrive promptly at 7am, and clock out at 3:30pm.

The bus to the office was always empty.

The bus home was always packed.

Now I work from home

You just won the thread.

I'm sad they're not videos, but what a treasure trove.

Greetings from suburban Calgary, where we are currently both sprawling, and under a stage 4 water advisory for the month as our water feed main ruptured in June.

As a "3 hour a week dad" who has managed to rack up 150 hours of this game, it's a lot of fun. But it's also insufferable when they release updates that cause rag-dolling to launch you all over the map, and new enemies that are just completely bugged out.

From a 400k player base at the start to <25k now, I'm convinced they're actively trying to hurt the game to lower server costs. And why would they care? Each of those 400k players already paid their $50 for the game. And it's not like the new DLC is any good. The snow-armour that didn't help sliding on ice, and the fire armour that came with a fire-nerf.

It's fun, but don't go in expecting the same game every week. Chances are they'll nerf your favourite weapon in the interest of "balance", then ask for more money.

Considering the needs of others and suggesting behaviours that benefit the larger whole is often scoffed at in the United States. See: History.

YMMV, I treat it on demand, but in most cases it's unused.

Civ: End turn

Driving games: Shift paddle

It's like the 4th mouse button. Sometimes you don't realize how much you might enjoy having it mapped.

Sounds like socialism

Maybe not if you could cross play.

At current, there are 32k negative reviews. That's 32,000 people angry enough to go add or modify a review to be negative. The active player base is 100k. As far as "vocal minority" goes...

Television shows are 22-24 minutes, because cable TV should show 6-8 minutes of ads every half hour. 30 second ads in blocks of 3 or 4, multiple times per show.

15 seonds ads are almost too short for a trip to the kitchen. I'm not saying they're good, but if you want to compare to cable TV, you need to remember the dark times.
