The good news is that it’s going to break soon anyway and you’ll have to buy another. Maybe try one without a screen on it.

Why would your refrigerator have a screen?

Why would you buy such a refrigerator?

You win the internet.

Who wants it at this point?

No status quo is being kept regardless of what these fossils do.

The winds of change are blowing through the country: hot, stinky change.

For me personally, I just don’t feel like dealing with yet another source of garbage that I don’t want to read.

In happier times, I felt a different way about blocking. Nowadays, the fucking potus forces the country to match some phony fucking Fox News image, and I don’t really care about reading some dumb assholes dumb rant anymore. Not blocking people and “dialog” and “debate bro” shit isn’t fixing this crap anyway, so I’m going to go ahead and make my own life contain a little less hassle.

That’s also why I’m only really here and on mastodon. I know they’re basically left wing safe spaces. I frankly don’t give a fuck.

They might even already have pitchforks

Durrrrrr I’m gonna crack down on immigrant farm labor while I add lots of tariffs to foreign food durrrrrrrrrr

Fuckers trying to make America North Korea again

Borderlands 3 kinda sucked it. I realized when I played it that they had hit peak during Borderlands 2.

“Clair Obscur” means Light / Dark in French…which most of the creators speak. It relates, generally speaking, to the theme of light versus dark that is throughout the game.

“Expedition 33” relates to the story, and the party that you’re playing is a part of “Expedition 33”.

So, neither thing “means nothing”, you’re just a grumpy person looking for something to whine about.

The problem with that is it limits the government’s ability to change in ways that have no correlate in industry or culture. This inevitably leads to the government being unable to respond to changes that have already occurred or are currently occurring, and in the case of change driven by industry (i.e., most societal change in the US) that invariably leads to regulatory capture.

I really enjoyed using Lune as my main damage character. I did this somewhat out of necessity in my first play-through – because I didn’t beat the final Gestral tournament battle with Maelle – after discovering the power of the combination of Elemental Trick with a high critical rate and Elemental Genesis and did it from the start because I enjoyed it in my second play-through.

There’s a quest danseus in the area that will allow you to practice without penalty, unfortunately it’s a bit high up in the area so getting to it without knowing how to defeat the danseuses would be pretty tricky.

No fault of the game but I just couldn’t figure out if I wasn’t leveled enough or lacked the skill.

Even the hardest boss in the game can be killed with one shot on normal difficulty with a correct build and the right turn order.

I say that because while learning how to parry and dodge are important, pictos and equipment can more than make up for inabilities in the middle-to-late game.

Overall, pictos are arguably the most important thing in the game.

I wound up playing the game through twice, once on normal difficulty and then again on story difficulty (I just really enjoyed the game and wanted to 100% it and had missed a couple of the only missable achievements).

Don’t feel bad playing it in a lower difficulty level, and then try to learn when to parry attacks. There are often visual and audio cues.

A lot of the difficulty when playing the game as intended (at normal difficulty) is learning the pattern of when to press the parry button. You can learn this more easily on story mode because it’s more forgiving. Counterattacks are very powerful throughout the game, and only happen if you learn how to parry.

Maelle being powerful also has a lot to do with the weapon she wields. If you didn’t beat the last Gestral arena fight with Maelle, you might want to restart the game and do that, because that weapon will carry you all the way through the regular end game (though you might need a better weapon to 100% the game).

You can beat the main story using Lune’s abilities for your main damage pretty easily. The one-two punch that I found very useful (after building around it) was using “Elemental Trick” followed by “Elemental Genesis”. With Elemental Trick, you can produce 4 stains in a single attack if you get your critical rate up. One easy way to make critical high is to use the Critical Burn picto and make sure to keep around a burn on one of the enemies to attack with Elemental Trick. Once you have the stains you need (4 critical hits, one of each element), Elemental Genesis can one-shot a lot of enemies throughout the game. It’s great because it’s a multi-hit attack and a multi-enemy attack. It works very well before you can do over 9999 damage in a single hit.

The kind that makes sense if you play it.

Both fit in the same category of unfortunately necessary and terrible goods…so the merger makes sense to me.

Welcome to the club!

I’m there. I vote Democratic but there’s basically no representation for my views to be found.

EDIT: Have you really thought through your political philosophy beyond pleasant sounding notions though? While “conserving the present” sounds nice, taken a bit further you’re basically talking about fighting the Buddhist notion that “no man steps into the same river twice”. Things change and if the government doesn’t change along with them it gets eaten alive. That’s partially, I would argue, what happened with technology in the last thirty years.

Or the kid that died due to a school shooting that happened on the same day.

fucking cabbage patch couch fucker is a taddle tale?! who could possibly see this coming (besides everyone on earth)?

Conservatives have always been regressive, period. Their entire philosophy emerged as a reaction to the “excesses” of the French Revolution. The forward “movement” (if you want to call it that) was from the “divine right of kings” to the “divine right of lords” (chosen by the market).

To quote the infinitely quotable (Wilhout, from the top rope…with a fucking blog comment):

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

The whole “left vs right” divide itself originates from this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left–right_political_spectrum

I understand the desire to take the positive aspects of a word, apply them to your political stance, and pretend that you’re part of a movement. But it isn’t true. It reminds me of when lefties (often in a USA centric thread) describe themselves as “left libertarians”. All this crap does is confuse people and make you sound like a pedant.

If you think this is what conservative means and that’s what your politics are, you’re basically just politically homeless…and have been since you started calling yourself that.
