Well I’ll be damned. Super interested to see how they implement this since they operate across all states. So not only dealing with the fact that there’s still a federal ban on marijuana (my wife’s a licensed vet and is going through her DEA licensing for distribution of controlled again and found out under no circumstances is she allowed to be prescribed medical marijuana), but also the fact that some states haven’t even passed their own decriminalization.

Will it just be “you might get arrested, but you won’t be banned from playing football?” And if they do random tests, and someone tests positive and is in a state where it is criminal, do they have to reveal the identity of the positive result to the state?

Seriously this, I mean there won’t really be places that can comply with this. Yeah Texas has some of the highest rates of heat related deaths, they also have some of the hotest hots in the country. Taking the requirement away is just malicious on Abbott’s part, but it likely won’t change anything. My wife worked as a vet for the USDA in Waco for 2-3 years and those cutting floors at the meat processing plants frequently got to 120f during the high summer months. They have a couple of box fans, and water literally everywhere and that’s it. This is an article hitting on a problem, but from the wrong direction.

Probably not? the migrant paths are a lot more limited now than they used to be i think.

Top down, and I’ve never thought about why but one reason is I have a larger chest and broad shoulders so if it doesn’t fit there I don’t bother when trying them on for the first time and I guess just stick with it all time.

That’s actually not something I thought about, because I never change default controls, but that is kind of a big deal that’s something that should have been trivial for them to add in. It really should be automatic these days.

I wasn’t too disappointed with the PS5 performance. The eikon battle was the first I really noticed any issues, but combat was smooth and looked great. The transition to gameplay from cutscene where a character starts to run was pretty jarring in a buggy silly way, but for the most part not much in the way of jankiness. I might also have extremely lowered expectations considering what we’ve been getting from big blockbuster games lately that this just feels good in comparison 😂

I thought the same thing actually. maybe others in the game become more engaging, but yeah it was one handing that eikon fight heh. The voice acting really is soooo good. it just feels more natural, and…yeah less cringe. whoever did the localization should get some sort of award or promotion (obviously it was a team not an individual), because it feels like they made a huge effort on this one.

Literally this. Even in older games journalism there was a difference between additional content and true expansions. We used to call developers out for labelling something as an expansion that didn’t have enough additional content. This is pretty close to what full expansions used to cost ($20-25 is what I remember for something like Shadows of Amn), and the amount of additional content fits.

I think a lot of people are used to the incremental and constant content release for live services games that are generally free. More is not always better, though…and free is not always free lol.

Genuinely will depend on the audience he has in front of him. Absolute coward.

I cannot recommend setting up a pi-hole or something similar more before getting started on anything else.

My friend set up a whole bunch of really nice smart features in his apartment, and separately set up a pi-hole as he was beginning to build out his NAS/plex server to be remotely accessible. One of the many things he found out was that his lightbulbs were pinging back and forth 100s of times an hour with a server in China that his pi-hole was able to start filtering/blocking. I don’t know if he ever set up any packet sniffing to see what exactly was being communicated with all those pings, but you can never be too safe with this stuff.
