I have no reason to disagree that the game released was ultimately the best version of itself, but to say that—in the context of the whole development cycle—the game that was released was not compromised in any way feels disingenuous and dishonest to me.

I took 7 1/2 years. Everyone moves at different speeds. Comparison is the thief of joy.

I have friends and a family who care about me, and I’ve been listening to one of my new favorite podcasts, “You’re Wrong About”.

That’s about all that’s getting me through life right now.

To put it in a way that’s slightly less genteel than the other posters, let me tell you my motto that I live by as someone with multiple mental illnesses:

Mental illness is no excuse for being an asshole.

Yeah, my friends and I always used Forgotten Realms lore as a base in homebrew settings and then just do whatever on top of it, like that one time we had chocobos in a campaign LOL

He also shit his pants on the golf course and there’s photos of it.

Unfortunately untrue.

The word you’re looking for is “gerontocracy”.

So in my limited experience, you just had to submit continuing eligibility reports that were due every June IIRC. I was actually on Kaiser myself, and your provider doesn’t change unless you change it.

I was on it for financial reasons for a while pre-COVID, so my memory is fuzzy and it may have changed. I could look through the DHCS website to confirm, but hopefully this helps.

EDIT: Here’s the official website, which isn’t necessarily detailed yet seems to confirm what I said. They generally try to make it easy to stay on Medi-Cal if you need it. Also, here’s a page linking to a bunch of general Medi-Cal info. I know that it can be daunting navigating the government websites, but they’re generally the best places to find information.

Not yet, but Conduit is fairly close if I’m not mistaken.

Synapse is a mess, which is why Element is looking to eventually drop it for Dendrite. There’s also Conduit.

Your complaint is really just a symptom of the problems inherent in the centralization of the internet. The terms of service of basically all tech platforms gives them unilateral control of how those terms are enforced. If one doesn’t like the terms of service set on a given platform, one should not use said platform.

I tend not to agree with them, so I don’t use them. Others should probably do the same.

The perfect filled-in eyebrows, looks like she’s wearing lipstick and eyeliner. It’s a little… strange.

You mean the problems that experts said 10+ years ago would happen are happening?

It was actually a reference to Eminem’s song “Stan” about an insane fan who murders his family or something.

Toot actually isn’t official anymore. They changed it to notes (p sure), but the userbase decided to keep using toots because it’s cuter.

Godzilla: Domination! Developed by WayForward, which is probably why it’s so good.

Why do you say that? I feel like it would be problematic if she were half-white, but she’s not.

Only iPhone I ever had and I loved that thing to bits.

she’s a rape and pedophilia apologist, so…

Then, on the way home after the hunt, as Noem stopped to talk to a local family, Cricket escaped Noem’s truck and attacked the family’s chickens, “grabb[ing] one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another”.

Cricket the untrainable dog, Noem writes, behaved like “a trained assassin”.

When Noem finally grabbed Cricket, she says, the dog “whipped around to bite me”. Then, as the chickens’ owner wept, Noem repeatedly apologised, wrote the shocked family a check “for the price they asked, and helped them dispose of the carcasses littering the scene of the crime”.
