LYC: I believe I am officially finished with Assassin's Creed 4. I clocked about 43 hours for the campaign. -- nm - Shaun Mar 20, 09:20 8
- It's really fun game but I need to get back to the main mission. I keep letting myself get too focused on collecting things and doing every side - Krusty Mar 20, 09:23 7
  - I did every side mission, but only really focused on collecting the shantys after I realized that getting all the chests and fragments is pointless. - Shaun Mar 20, 09:27 6
    - Really? Nothing? I guess I can stop collecting them. -- nm - Krusty Mar 20, 09:40 1
      - Basically. The only SP trophy I don't have is the 100% sync on main missions and I'm at about 61% for collectibles. -- nm - Shaun Mar 20, 09:46
    - Did you take down a legendary ship? - J Mar 20, 09:32 3
      - All 4. It's pretty much essential to have the Jackdaw fully upgraded. -- nm - Shaun Mar 20, 09:34 2

charlie says the following got good again this week. I should not listen, right? -- nm - Moray Gerbson Mar 20, 09:15 5

- Good to read. I hope he recovers completely and is back on the mound with no issues. -- nm - Krusty Mar 20, 09:14
- I've posted looking for options. I think we can make the change but we would have to re-enter everyone's keeper values even if I just check to see. -- nm - spamlet Mar 20, 09:13 3
  - IMO, this is why we have a DL spot. - groiny Mar 20, 09:22

- Wow, it's warmer here than I thou.... - spamlet Mar 20, 08:52
- In the literal sense, I suppose - Reagen Mar 20, 08:49
- I just don't get the logic of these people. If they truly believe in God and what he stands for, how can they possibly believe that God hates? - Shaun Mar 20, 08:48 5
  - (shakes head) why doesn't everybody know that the whole protest things was a financial scam - zeitgeist Mar 20, 10:27
  - People create their gods in their own image. -- nm - mara Mar 20, 09:00
  - People have used God to defend killing other people who interpret God's word different, to defend slavery, to defend making women subservient, etc, - ty97 Mar 20, 08:55

    - Not shocked. It's just baffling is all. But yeah: humans. -- nm - Shaun Mar 20, 09:00
- I fell in love with George Takei this week over this. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 20, 08:46 3
  - yep. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Mar 20, 09:16
  - That's okay. He'll wear on you quickly. -- nm - Qale Mar 20, 08:53
  - uh oh, did he tell you he's a trekkie before you fell in love? -- nm - dogbert Mar 20, 08:52
- Good riddance to bad rubbish. -- nm - TWuG Mar 20, 08:46
prudie's response to My Ex Didn't Tell Me She Was Transgender and Now I'm Married to Her Sister: (long-ish) - Diva Mar 20, 08:41 4
- I agree with almost all of this except the decision to tell advice is based almost solely around Rhonda's feelings. - Inigo Mar 20, 08:58 1
  - Right, the suggested advice enables selfishness. - David Mar 20, 09:00
- [deleted]
- Bravo. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 20, 08:43
My takes from the Prudence story from B2 - Inigo Mar 20, 08:36 30
- Again, I disagree that it was wrong of Rhonda to "hide" this. And I believe that point sort of renders all your other complaints null -- nm - con_carne Mar 20, 09:02 3
  - That's just silly. -- nm - David Mar 20, 09:10
  - I'm not sure how hide can even be in quotes here. Is that even in question? Of course she hid it. - Inigo Mar 20, 09:09
  - "um, babe, why were you in Boy Scouts?" -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 09:05
- That about sums it up. - TWuG Mar 20, 08:44
- My take - ty97 Mar 20, 08:44
- [deleted] 19
  - I couldn't put a date on it, but I'd say it has to happen before you agree it's a relationship. -- nm - Inigo Mar 20, 08:49 13
    - [deleted] 11
      - Well, the letter writer says "my ex" in the subject line, and "I broke up with her". Sounds like they were a couple to me. -- nm - Inigo Mar 20, 09:02
      - He's met her family. -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 09:02 9
        
        IMO, you have to have that convo before meeting the family. - groiny Mar 20, 09:04 7
        
        I'd think so, but I can also think of many conversations I didn't have before meeting a girlfriend's family (or before she met mine) -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 09:09 2
        
        my rule of wrist, is that they do not meet my family unless it is getting serious. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 09:10 1
        
        Norman has come a long way. -- nm - Shaun Mar 20, 09:13
        
        Although they might have thought "he must have been told by now..." -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 09:05 3
        
        I would hope they would have covered that on the phone call that he was coming over. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 09:06 2
        
        "so, did you tell him about the thing...that you used to have?" -- nm - Phone Call Mar 20, 09:08 1
        
        "Quick, take down all the family photos!" -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 09:09
        
        yup -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 09:02
    - yeah, at some point, after multiple dates, you say "before we get too far along in this, we need to talk" -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 08:50
  - Three months in some relationships is like three days in mine. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 20, 08:45 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - That is my point. Every relationship is unique. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 20, 08:49 2
        
        Yeah, when is he starting from? How often were they going out? -- nm - Ender Mar 20, 08:50 1
        
        [deleted]
- maybe he's secretly semi-turned on by it. like moderately and maybe even subconsciously into dudes. -- nm - Moray Gerbson Mar 20, 08:40
- I'll bet Rhonda blew him. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 08:37 2
  - ... better than his wife. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 20, 08:41 1
    - and rightfully so. -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 08:41

do girls have a "girl code" like the bro code? -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 08:28 8
- I didn't know about the bro code until I got to college - con_carne Mar 20, 09:00
- Family trumps it if they do. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 20, 08:30 5
  - I am asking in general. I know plenty of girls who dated friends exes. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 08:36 4
    - I dated my way through a few circles. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 20, 08:39 3
      - exactly. I think women are less inclined to follow those rules as dudes are. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 20, 08:40 2
        
        Women can be vicious, vile predators :) -- nm - Shaun Mar 20, 08:41 1
