LYC: I went with Forbidden Island as the game last night and everyone loved it. That it was cooperative seemed to be a big selling point. -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 07:13 4
- Pandemic is the same where you are competing against the game and not each other.. Just a more "Grown-up" version. -- nm - volnelk Mar 22, 07:46
- why is it forbidden? -- nm - decline Mar 22, 07:22 2
  - That's where the lambada was invented. -- nm - Baronspringa Mar 22, 07:26
  - Because it's sinking. -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 07:26

re B2 and Mass Effect: For a first playthru, on a heavy story driven game, why in the world are you trying to skip cutscenes and dialog? - Shaun Mar 22, 06:33 17
- Day 1 update - Strongbad Mar 22, 06:50 4
  - I'm still working on the murder mystery, but I finished the ship sabotage quest. -- nm - David Mar 22, 06:54 2
    - I think their might be a bug in my murder mystery quest. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 22, 09:34
    - I completed the sabotage, but skipped the murder - figure I'll get back to it - decline Mar 22, 06:55
  - I just landed on Eos -- nm - decline Mar 22, 06:53
- They're sloooooooow. - David Mar 22, 06:47 1
  - Yep, plus the voice acting isn't so good that I don't just want to read through quickly. -- nm - mafic Mar 22, 07:01
- I don't really like long cutscenes, I usually watch for a bit, then get bored with it and skip it. - groiny Mar 22, 06:45 8
  - The version I prefer is "Read subtitles faster then they're said, skip to next set of subtitles." -- nm - Ender Mar 22, 07:13 2
    - exactly -- nm - decline Mar 22, 07:22
    - Heh. :-) Yup. -- nm - Krusty Mar 22, 07:14
  - I watch most but skip the obviously unimportant NPC filler -- nm - Strongbad Mar 22, 06:49
  - Yep. I've never clicked through a cut scene and been TOTALLY lost. If I wanted to watch a movie, I'd watch a movie. -- nm - volnelk Mar 22, 06:48
  - Never ever play a Metal Gear Solid game :) -- nm - Shaun Mar 22, 06:46 1
    - This was my thought -- nm - Mop Mar 22, 07:32
  - Same. Some games suck me in and I'm all in on the story but I still get bored with it after a while. - Krusty Mar 22, 06:46
- I'll skip the occasional NPC dialog at times. -- nm - decline Mar 22, 06:39
PokemonGo update rolling out. Big thing for most is probably 7th day spin now gives an evolution item. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 22, 06:28 23
- Also, there are at least 10 level 40 Team Mystic players in Toronto. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 22, 06:35 8
  - ridiculous. Down south I could see it, but it's been cold! -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 06:40 7
    - Did you happen to get a Heracross or Corsola? - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 22, 07:04 1
      - nope, never seen them. And despite multiple Asia trips, no Farfetch'd -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 07:06
    - Apparently one of them did it mostly at Starbucks. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 22, 06:47 4
      - Ah fair. I guess if my apartment was on top of Pokestops I could own this game. Alas. -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 06:48 3
        
        We have a gym and a stop that we can hit from our apt (or so the bf says) -- nm - MDH Mar 22, 07:03 1
        
        You're just trying to get me to visit! -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 07:06
        
        you would never leave your house and would probably start considering get cats - decline Mar 22, 06:54
- ooooohhhh, evolution items! - ty97 Mar 22, 06:31 3
  - The gender thing is kind of new. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 22, 06:40 2

      - well, you do love your boys -- nm - decline Mar 22, 06:46
- oh that's good. -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 06:30 9
  - Evolution items are so rare, this is very cool. -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 06:34 8

      - I have two dragon scales plus an up-grade. Haven't seen anything in at least two weeks -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 06:37 6
        
        I think Dragon Scale is the one I need. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 22, 06:45 3
        
        I need a lot more andy before I can do anything with that Dragon Scale, but I'll hold it for now. -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 06:46 2
        
        If I could I would gladly trade you the needed candy for a Dragon Scale. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 22, 06:58 1
        
        oh wow, I was wrong. I have 104 horsea candy now! -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 07:02
        
        i was able to check (here! because i mentioned it) - my last one was on March 6. So, yeah, it's been a while. -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 06:42 1
        
        Probably similar. Don't think I've gotten anything since visiting my parents, and I came home around the 6th. -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 06:46
Tillerson: My wife convinced me to take this job, I didn't want it. -- (link*) - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 22, 06:28 16
- He really REALLY doesn't want to do this job. -- nm - Mop Mar 22, 07:26
- wouldn't this be the very definition of "cuck"? - Mel Profit Mar 22, 07:11 9
  - More like "talked through a career decision with his wife". -- nm - Roger More Mar 22, 07:31
  - No. -- (edited) - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 22, 07:30
  - No. A cuck is automatically a submissive, but not all submissives would be cucks. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Mar 22, 07:15 5
    - seems pretty submissive to me. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 22, 07:18 4
      - My understanding is that a second guy is involved with the wife to set up a cuck situation. Not sure who you have in mind for your metaphor to work. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Mar 22, 07:23 3
        
        There's the classic definition, which is what you're taking about, and the alt-right version which basically comes down to - Reagen Mar 22, 07:43 2
        
        I appoint you Mel's Translator. - Mel Profit Mar 22, 07:51 1
        
        I know that we love to point out any hypocrisy in that worldview, but I still don't see it. See my comment above. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 22, 07:54
  - Not when it involves monetary gain, I would think. -- nm - mara Mar 22, 07:12
- I don't know how much to make of this. It' an attempt at humility plus a pretty common Christian trope. -- nm - mara Mar 22, 07:09
- I'm not even upset by his wife convincing him...it annoys me she did so by saying God had a plan for him. - Will Hunting Mar 22, 06:48 1
  - Also, yes. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 22, 06:52
- "Desperate to get retired husband out of the house, woman dooms nation." -- (link) - decline Mar 22, 06:41 1
  - Oof. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 22, 06:46
Sigh, Ohio: Trump budget puts UC, Cincinnati Children’s research and jobs at risk (15k jobs) -- (link) - MDH Mar 22, 06:23
Texas company lets you spend spring break driving real tanks, firing rounds and blowing stuff up -- (link*) - ty97 Mar 22, 05:52 2
- Forget Westworld, Military World would be the highest grossing american theme park. -- nm - MDH Mar 22, 06:26
- Worth every penny. -- nm - Baronspringa Mar 22, 06:24
Rand Paul: AHCA will get pulled from a Thursday vote because they don't have the Yes votes to pass it. - Strongbad Mar 22, 05:49 2
- The republicans huge internal problem is that they have too many people on opposite sides of the fence as to what they need to let it pass. Is they - pmb Mar 22, 07:53
- Good. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 22, 06:17
1/3 of Americans say they’d have trouble coming up with an emergency $2,000 -- (link) - Strongbad Mar 22, 05:47 8
- A trip to Tahiti is not an emergency! -- nm - Mop Mar 22, 07:37
- Maybe they shouldn't buy that new iPhone -- nm - Chavits or Chaffits or Chavets Mar 22, 06:41
- That sounds consistent with similar surveys over the past year or so. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 22, 06:20
- It would depend on how soon I'd need to come up with it. In a day, no chance. In a week, possibly. In a month, sure. - Krusty Mar 22, 06:03
- I assume those that can't mean they don't even have access via credit (not just cash?) It's not a surprising stat to me. -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 05:51
- I was going to say I'm "happily surprised" it's that low, but happy is the wrong word. - ty97 Mar 22, 05:50 2
  - With the prevalence of available credit, I'm a little surprised it's that high. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 22, 05:51 1
    - oh, I'm just digging into the article, I figured the numbers meant liquid $2000, not including credit -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 05:53
I really liked the songs on The Flash, but I think my favorite was the Barrowman / Martin&Garber song near the middle - Beaker Mar 22, 05:45 1
- and Legends just kills with the nerdy callouts for their time travel stuff - Beaker Mar 22, 05:49
AP: Manafort had plan to benefit Putin government in 2005, contradicting previous claims by WH and Manafort -- (link*) - Strongbad Mar 22, 05:41 2
- Did you see someone apparently hacked his daughter's cell phone where she basically said "Yeah, dad's still working with Trump. It's all PR." - Will Hunting Mar 22, 06:00 1
  - Lol. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 22, 06:19
