People, in general, need to be more perceptive and aware of their surroundings.

The real horror is that the extra portion ends up on my plate and I still somehow manage to finish all of it!

I was under the impression that forefoot striking is actually more efficient as the body is continually in a “forward falling” position, your legs do not land angled in front of you requiring your knees to absorb the shock, and you better utilize the elastic potential of your leg’s tendons.

Don’t a lot of marathon runners forefoot strike? Seems like they’re athletes that would be looking for the most efficient running techniques.

Maybe they shouldn’t be gatekept behind ludicrous paywalls then.

Zuck does already have all that Sweet Baby Ray’s!

I was an aerospace machinist in a past life and I’m aphantasic. Never was it a hindrance in me making parts. You were just having a conversation with an idiot, which makes sense because shops seem to hire a lot of them.

You must have the world’s thickest pair of rose-tinted glasses if you think Starfield looks only as good as a game like GTA4.

What other Blizzard titles relied on a single time purchase and loot boxes for their payment scheme? Wasn’t WoW subscription based WITH paid expansions? StarCraft and Diablo definitely had paid expansions.

Maybe the argument could be made for Hearthstone or HotS but I won’t consider them Blizzard’s flagship titles either.

Not picking up a pitchfork and joining the mob is now white knighting? Get the fuck outta here with that shit.

I’m not here to defend Blizzard, frankly fuck them and their mismanagement of a great IP, but people are definitely blowing Overwatch’s failure out of proportion and just hopping on a bandwagon.

I’m making assumptions but I don’t think it’s asinine to assume that they would rather run their service with a constant steady income from a subscription model rather than a one time purchase over the period of half a decade. It would have been one thing if they released paid expansions to the base game every few years but they never did that.

It also doesn’t matter if the company as a whole is profitable if Overwatch itself isn’t. They aren’t Kirkland with the food court hotdogs or rotisserie chickens, as in trying to use Overwatch to pull people into their other games even though it’s a net negative for them to continue to support.

And 7 years after the fact, how is your one time $40 purchase still paying to keep the servers running?

I don’t like the monetary scheme that Blizzard settled on for OW2, I’m never paying $25 for a skin, but the $10 battle pass every 2 months is reasonable in my opinion.

If that battle pass contained all of that season’s cosmetic content and followed a FOMOless scheme more similar to Halo MCC or Deep Rock Galactic, I think most people wouldn’t complain but clearly we have whales that are willing to dump stupid amounts of cash on singular skins.

While I agree with a lot of what you said, how is it in any way pay to win? You can carry and win a match with any hero.

I’d also say it’s in a fairly balanced state at the moment. I’ve seen way worse metas over the years…like GOATS or double shields

You must be fun at parties…

You, too, could go No-Poo!

You also shouldn’t overcrowd the pan or else you’ll steam the meat rather than brown it. In my experience, it’s difficult to brown more than 1lb of ground meat in a 10" stainless skillet.

Google Play Music was actually the best music streaming service I had used. Their radios actually stuck to a genre and would often give you good recommendations on artists that weren’t already in your library. They did the usual Google though and deprecated it for YouTube Music, which frankly has a trash radio algorithm in comparison.

I’ve been told just today that tone isn’t hard to infer from text and people who use tone markers are dumb. /s

Yup.

You’re correct that it isn’t as good of an alternative as flossing but you’re meant to do both.

You should floss, preferably with actual floss and not a pick, and then follow that up with water irrigation. You dislodge food and break up the plaque with the floss and flush it out with the water flosser.

Bold statement there Cotton.
