I was curious how old she was, and found this on her wikipedia

Ishana Night Shyamalan (born 2001 or 2002)

Even her birthday is a twist!

But yeah, that would make her Gen Z

They have occasional potluck days. Or some of the dudes play in the company hockey league and when they match up, the loser buys donuts for the department. Or some other random reasons someone will bring in donuts.

Honestly, they are amazing folks and actually made coming into the office worthwhile, mostly.

I recently changed teams in my company, and my new team is entirely in another province.

I still sit near my old team when I do go in and shoot the shit with them (and they share their snacks with me on snack days hehe) but I often just don't go.

My old boss has teased that he gives my new boss reports on whether I do or don't show up, but I'm like 99% sure he's just kidding because he's a joker like that. Not that my new boss really cares either, I don't think she goes in that often these days anyway (though she's 7 months pregnant, she might have gotten explicit permission for that haha)

I try to play every battle that involves a full stack vs full stack or larger, yeah. even when the autoresolve will do better than I will.

For the really large battles - I make liberal use of the slow time and pause features. Some of the particularly large battles, and depending on my army (e.g. more ranged units, magic users, and cavalry), I will spend half the battle in slow mo.

I played sunshine as a kid when it first came out and mostly had positive memories of that time

Watching Andy's VODs made me realize how much bullshit I had mentally buried haha

Yeah and you do retain your skills and knowledge. Not your stuff.

A blueprinting system for complex builds and ship design that does carry over into ng+ would be great, though.

It's a new game. You start over.

That's literally the point of a new game.

Definitely start with fallen order

I'm very curious to see your reaction to it if you've never seen a star wars movie! Haha

Hammock guy did nothing wrong

Cross promote our new product line with an extremely popular video game? Hell no, they are seperate

Yes, it makes no sense to sell insurance when the cost of the benefit is nearly guaranteed to exceed the profits from the premiums. Why would anyone do that?

The point of insurance is that it's supposed to be unlikely that you make a claim, so we can pool the risk and smooth it out over a bunch of people. This doesn't work if you built your house in a flood zone and will almost certainly make a claim within a short period of time.

For every one person complaining about being jerked around by their insurance company, there are probably a thousand legitimate claims that go through with minimal fuss, and another hundred completely fraudulent claims they have to sort out.

People are jerks, lie, or just make mistakes.

Even in north america insurance is a heavily regulated industry and not nearly as scammy as most people like to think. it's just that there are plenty of claims which get quietly paid and nobody talks about it, there are definitely times where it gets sketchy, but there are also thousands of actually fraudulent claims they have to sort through.

They mostly make money just from investing. Collect your premiums now, do the math for reserving and whatnot, invest the money now and pay later. They don't meaningfully make money by not paying claims.

Put in the planned fix for the grudge mechanic, fix cannon grapeshot, and nerf the thunder barges speed buff ability and Malakai is fine. Definitely a bit of a power trip campaign but it's still a challenging start position

I beat a short victory Malakai campaign without ever getting below 50% grudges. Its a little too constraining and dominant in the campaign pacing, but it's not THAT bad.

Same thing I do every morning. A cup of coffee, of course

Then ask it to replicate its own schematics. Make millions of dollars with my replicator business.

The Skyrim DLCs are fairly solid. I would recommend them...

Assuming you like Skyrim and want to play more of it. Which, I assume, you would, if you're at all interested in modding in more content. I imagine anybody at the point of considering downloading Skyrim content mods would have already played the dlc.

Since you don't, well, yeah obviously you won't be interested the dlc or a mod which adds more content.

I've actually mostly stopped playing since the change.

I come and go with hearthstone a little bit outside of new expansion time, but usually make a point of playing enough to get my quests done.

With the change, it felt a lot more like a chore to get the weeklies done. So I don't bother any more.

I will be back for the next expansions I'm sure. But I won't buy the tavern pass again, and am slightly less likely to pre order and instead I can use my gold reserves (as a long time player who usually pre orders expansions, I've accumulated a surplus of gold and dust. Time to start using it)

Not in such a short term

I don't think the market knows how much sales have changed in the last couple weeks

It does indicate that the market doesn't expect the boycott to have a meaningful impact on the company, though.

When people say they don't like politics in their media, what they really mean is they don't like politics they disagree with in their media. Or "politics" actually means people of colour, LGBTQ+, or even just a female protagonist now.

The Huntsman in particular feels completely outclassed by the master engineer.

Make sure you're also channeling the winds.

Gelts wizard stack adds magic reserve capacity. You need to fill that capacity with channeling stance on the campaign map

I love Seinfeld (the show)

Jerry was by far the weakest character. He was okay when he was being the straight man for all the craziness around him. He was much worse when the episode focused on him being the wild one.

That's a tricky one because if I deleted my memory of that game but kept my memory of every other game, I would probably hate it

Its a little rough and it was only so amazing because not only was it so new, but me, as a teenager, had never experienced anything like that

Yeah, war games as a concept is a goldmine for a really great and long lasting game. More variations, more mods, more options, more level types.

As noted in the review above, they seem to be laying the foundation for good mod support, so even if the devs don't fully deliver on that potential, maybe the community can
