The longer you look, the stranger it gets. I am loving the gear stick.

I have no idea if they still do this, but you could order a whole box of "crunchies," the little fried bits of batter that flake off.

I've been playing pretty regularly since 2017. It's the only multiplayer game that I play, since I normally don't like letting my teammates down. I enjoy seeing the puzzle pieces of a random team and trying to figure out how to play in a way that will make them work. At its best, the matches are close and you feel like "It was winnable if I had..." They've spent a lot of time giving people the ability to avoid players you don't want on your team, report trolls, and stick to the game modes that don't make you angry. They've never known if the game should be competitive or fun, and so it's never quite been successful at either. Most of us who play the game would not recommend it. If you start a match and say, "Anybody here ready to have some fun?!" Everyone will say "No, this is Overwatch." And they're right, and that's okay.

I will say, lots of people in my state remember the 2008 Economic Crisis as being caused by Obama.

When economic independence is rare, divorce is rare.

So does this make interstate food shipping as complicated as I'm thinking it would?

That is definitely Ryo-Ohki. Be prepared for when it changes into a spaceship.

Yes, it is a price increase, but the inflation has been wild. For context, the Switch in 2017 for $299 is equivalent to $389 in 2025 dollars. It's really been insane. The Nintendo 64 from 1996 was $199, or $404 in 2025 dollars.

That closing line is brilliant.

If the stakes were lower, it wouldn't be an issue. It's not fun to get close to someone, then suddenly realize they don't think the rest of your friends should get to live.
