      - (i was told that muscle gets so tight it restricts blood flow and that causes problems. I have no idea if that's true, but the massage in that place - Andie Jul 10, 06:46 3

      - Ah fair enough. I may try it out once it's cheaper. I'm not paying $60 for it. -- nm - Shaun Jul 10, 06:35 2
        
        my biggest issue is that when I have tried vr at a store - tRuMaN Jul 10, 06:55 1

    - Some of the feats are impressive, but not worth wading through the 15 minutes of filler they pack around each one -- nm - prayformojo Jul 10, 05:59 2
      - right, if there is something you really want to see, check Youtube for the highlights -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 06:06

- Beamdog hasn't only made remastered versions of Baldur's Gate, they've made a whole new add on. -- (link) - Mop Jul 9, 21:46

    - I have the big box around here somewhere. -- nm - Mop Jul 9, 22:07
This story is making the rounds as "Google Home hears domestic dispute and calls police" - Mop Jul 9, 21:24 11
- Could it be that the DV victim claimed it was google home so she wouldn't get shot? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 21:57 3

- I've got Blondies ' Long Time " on repeat during the day. I hope it's a great show -- nm - Epiphany Jul 9, 21:04 2
