  Nah fuckem, I uninstalled today after this and seeing how they implemented:

  1. The most toxic bit of powercreep from the main TCG (basics that have free attacks)
  2. Supporter card abilities that got put onto EX cards as once-per-turn abilities

  The gacha-ness of it all just caught up to me

  Like the other commenter said - people recommend them for peace of mind so you don’t have to think about knowing a password for the 2653rd account you set up once and are never using again.

  I’ve used Dashlane for years, personally, but I know people here will immediately shut that down for not being FOSS. Bitwarden is FOSS but requires some technical setup and has no redundancy.

  Don’t get me wrong, I love self-hosting as much as the rest of us but I’m not trusting my server from 2013 with all my passwords to everything.

  The game was ahead of it’s time in terms of combat. It felt janky at times but it plays like a souls-like with how slow and deliberate you need to be once enemies start having proper counters to what you do.

  And the time dagger mechanic was always fantastic to me conceptually.

  Here’s hoping Ubi doesn’t fuck it up beyond belief.

  I was in a similar situation, but as the boyfriend at the time

  I’d driven 1.5hr away to see my then girlfriend at college. We went out for groceries and were just pulling into her campus, making a left on a yellow when a cyclist went straight on a yellow. She flipped over the hood of my car and broke her collarbone.

  I’d almost come to a complete stop when the actual collision happened but was still on the hook for the fines and license points for failing to yield.

  The girl I hit didn’t press charges or anything. And as far as I’m aware she’s doing ok.

  Despite the trauma, I kept driving out of necessity, I had to get 80+ miles home somehow and I definitely wasn’t going to Uber from there.

  Now we got married, and we both have long commutes for our jobs (in opposite directions unfortunately, we just moved to a more central spot for it) and our jobs require travel between multiple locations throughout the day.

  Quitting driving would’ve kept us from job opportunities that allow us to have the lifestyle we live today.

  I don’t think you’re overreacting, but imo you shouldn’t let something like that define your adult life. Accidents happen, and this was probably the best-cass scenario in your case.

  I also did this while trying to turn the volume up with the phone in my pocket years ago

  Same - it’s pretty fun on a guitar controller if you have one!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bioshock creator Ken Levine discusses the future of narratives in games⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Brackets in a quote denote a change to what was actually said. In a perfect world, with quality journalism, they’re used to summarize or make the quote flow better in the piece without changing the intent or meaning of the quote

  In this case, they very well could’ve changed “won’t be” to “will be”

  I don’t expect that to be the case here, but it’s possible.

  Also, using an ellipsis inside brackets like this: “[…]” Is an intentional omission by the author of the piece.

  Lmao so

  It’s a book series, their username is the name of the main antagonist of sorts…

  Book 5, Wind and Truth, releases tomorrow, and this is akin to Infinity War/Endgame levels of “it’s all coming together”.

  We’re all super excited haha

  Bridge Four!

  I hope your namesake gets what’s coming to him. The previews were an absolute wild ride.
