I got my D&D Basic box set from a charity shop, £2.50. There’s one going for over £150 on ebay right now. Got my Baldur’s Gate box set from a charity shop too for £2.50. I also got Flash 4 (I think) for a couple of quid, it was selling second hand on amazon for about £200, but I was an anxious, clueless kid and was too scared to sell it.
Even here, some like Oxfam will save the more valuable stuff to sell on ebay. I worked at two charity shops back in my twenties, so I got to the good stuff first haha. The Baldur’s Gate was lucky because another customer was going to buy it for her son, but changed her mind when she saw the age rating, and I was like, bagsy this!
Some of them I take Day of the post (Like the Fallout one yesterday). Others I keep just because I think they look pretty. Steam Cloud storage holds onto them for me so I don’t have much of a reason to get rid of them. I also just really like taking very Landscape-esque shots which i feel leads me to be less likely to delete them
Do you not have a whole archive of screenshot because it looked cool at the time and then it didn’t really hit the same later when you no longer had the context of the action? Just me?
That’s why I take videos. I have hard drives of my very average gameplay but I still feel the satisfaction I got when I was actually playing when watching them.
The word octopus is a classical Greek word that comes to English via Latin. The Greek plural is octopodes, the Latin plural is octopi. But we don’t speak Latin or classical Greek. We speak English. Because octopus is the English word for octopus it follows the English rules for pluralization, which is to add “s” or “es” to the end of the word. Cases can be made why octopi and octopodes could be technically correct, but for English speakers octopuses is the most correct.
Yeah, I did something for work where I had to study up about it and instead of being angry it’s just kind of a fun fact. I don’t actually mind what people say, I think everyone understands what you mean regardless.
I was just introducing someone to Rodney last night because some actor in a show we saw looked a bit like him. Then I wake up and see this here. Life sure has funny coincidences sometimes.
I hadn’t actually heard of any abuse allegations either. I also don’t keep up with celebrity stuff anymore. I just knew that if a fruitcake saw him, it would turn to another fruitcake and say “that guy is nutty”
Abusive, yes, but as far as I’m aware not violent. Still fits (calling 911 as per the post), but not for physical abuse.
He has been known to publicly harass and threaten (it’s why he was barred from the Grammy awards), he’s been sued by employees for harassment, intimidation, retaliation,and discrimination, and even failure to pay his employees, and he’s also being sued by his former personal* assistant for sexual harassment, including him masturbating in front of her.
Kanye is 100% an abusive PoS. Just not, as of now, physically abusive afaik.
They’re referring to when someone experiencing domestic abuse calls 999 and pretends to order a pizza, when really that’s a signal to the police that they need help.
Oof I was hoping this was a joke about ordering a pizza from an app and the spouse didn’t like that they were only entering the security code and not the whole card number… Because the joke is about having the credit card saved. :(
Who cares what this living example for why you should take your meds has to say?
I feel like all this attention it brought him only amplified his mental disorders. I sincerely hope that he is getting the help he clearly needs and that the media will leave him alone for the sake of his sanity.
You know, Abilify would have probably cured the Hunter right away from the psychosis induced by the blood administration. Then he wouldn’t have to have his head cut off or fight a giant moon thing
