Comment Popeye? (Score 1) 6

FTFA

The restaurant has hooked up for the promotion with a tattoo shop, which is offering its own discount on grilled cheese designs. John Forgus of Voodoo Monkey Tattoo says he's been getting creative, giving one person a tattoo of Popeye holding a grilled cheese sandwich instead of a spinach can.

Nothing says an ass kickin' like popeye and a sandwhich.

Comment Re:Tbh, these definitions need to be dropped. (Score 1) 362

no flexibility. you HAVE to have a tank, a healer, a controller and a damage dealer. the same old shit everywhere, every game. no variation. no room for an all melee warband or all archer bandit squad. you need to rinse and repeat the same ancient, derelict format in every game. no room for error too - you have to increase tank's defenses, resistances so that it will hold the insanely stupid archdemons, you have to get cc spells for your mage so that it will be able to negate 8 out of 10 enemies you are presented for 'challenge'.

The main problem: everyone wants to kill the best boss (for the best loot) the fastest, so they follow cookie cutted guidelines because they can't think for themselves or enjoy a challenge (this is a majority, some players do enjoy a challenge - mage only/range only etc. groups). This leads most people to hate on the tried and true method that they themselves can EASILY deviate from (grab a full party of tanks, so what, it will be slower and you will complain about that? WHAT DID YOU EXPECT)

The entire point of contract law is to avoid lawsuits, specifically because there is so little wiggle room if both parties agree to the contract.

The TOS is a constantly changing contract however, and the "little wiggle room" only applies to the person who is using the service. While the person changing the TOS has a near infinite amount of wiggle room. Oh, and whenever it changes, they don't even need to notify you.

A TOS should not even be considered a contract.

except they'll get the last laugh because we'll never understand what message they were trying to get to us. And some of us might go mad spending hours and hours and hours trying to figure this out with no luck.

Depends on how meaningful the message was... Me trying to communicate to someone else, how my day was today in encryption. Then having you pick it up trying to decipher it wouldn't mean I'm laughing about it, it means it wasn't intended for you.

As to why Asperger's suffering has to do with it. Ever tried to live as one? It ain't easy; particularly the tendency to focus on one thing trait means that it is very easy to not realise what is going on around you. And also the trait to accept as truth the first information on something and to reject new information on that subject (the trait of not liking/being unable to stand change) - even if the new information is correct.

I don't give a shit what your medical condition is, if you did something wrong, face the penalties like everyone else. Treat him equal.

which purports to make photorealistic 3D images available to anyone on any computing platform, even things like smartphones. The idea is that all the rendering happens 'in the cloud,' which allows for a much wider distribution of high-quality images. RealityServer isn't released until November 30, but it looks like it could be interesting. The article has photos

Notice there is no emphasis on video or animation. This is for 3d images only. Or were you seriously hoping to play 3d realistic games on your phone?

Agreed, summary is speaking of ignorance. I have a 8 button mouse (only 5 work in a game/are comfortable), and I still wish I had more buttons on it.

Additional info for fps layout:
1st button for primary fire
2nd for secondary fire
3rd for "help" in game command (yelling for medic, etc.)
4rd for favorite weapon autoswitch
5th for voice chat (I hate voice activation for myself and when others have it on)

There are still many other actions I could use: flashlight, "use" key, jump/crouch, other in game commands, spray logo, throw grenade, lean... that's just off the top of my head, and don't say a keyboard is easier, because it can be harder to do multiple things on a flat surfaced keyboard.

Thus: Keybinds were invented (way before voice chat was added to their games).

Pressing a key (or mouse button if you have more than 3 whole buttons) will send an obvious team chat to designate you need help.

Don't get me wrong however, sometimes speech can be good in certain games where you need on the fly strategy. Just wasn't a good example however :P

Yes, but realize it can be hard to recognize your own scent if you use it enough times. You probably don't know what you smell like all day until you put on your deodorant/body wash/soap, but after 5-10 minutes you forget it and how strong it is.

Do the person a favor (if it's a friend, or a person with no friends), and politely comment about the strength of the smell. I've seen some of them change after a comment, and it is better for the both of you (they no longer repel people and invite hostility, you no longer have to be in discomfort). Why hide honesty?
