If you ever need to feel better about your FF14 gameplay, remember this ninja bar exists. (Yes, it is mine).

@TexitDarling That feels like a firing offense.

@RichardGarriott Growing up, I admit I was tempted to game the test by just "buying" everything at the start, then finding someone to tell my name to or something over and over to build up Honesty. But I decided becoming an Avatar through exploiting loopholes defeated the purpose and never did.

@ingelramdecoucy ... is it bad I'm willing to hear them out?

@TheArtfulDM One of the saddest things was coming home from college and finding out all my notebooks had been gotten rid of.

@pennyelizabeths @redrose_anna ... Can we at least keep the robo squirrels that apparently are trained to fight rattlesnakes?

@EthanVanSciver With you and Shane both taking a break from the Internet, @JonMalin is going to have to fill the emptiness.

@tiffhang I used to get a lot of mileage out of "I've heard worse from better."

Still, despite the combat feeling notably blah/frustrating, the rest of the game is definitely A+, so overall... B+/A-? Very cute. Do recommend -- though having a second monitor helps *a lot* with puzzle solving.

@shanedavisart I hope I'm as happy as Mandy is in my dotage.

@RareVicRec @JustineBateman "These people are children incapable of making decisions. Also, 16 year olds should be able to vote."

@kindscribe Gonna just add that to my Clinton Facts.

@awstar11 This also reads like someone who has never read a GAO report.

@jarvis_best USAID being closed right after Trump has a chance to look at the Kennedy files? COINCIDENCE!?!?!

@CallMeK1123 @pennyelizabeths That's me. I'll go to the store for just one thing, then realize, "I could make X," and suddenly I'm trying to ad lib a recipe mid grocery shopping.

@awstar11 @neontaster We should call it Slipping Precedents and Norms, and maybe that'll stick.

@TexitDarling -- A little out of date, but I always find it fine to scroll through, which should tell you exactly how nerdy of a person I am. Just to help you avoid the ones that we've already been told don't work.

@awstar11 Also: That can never happen when one party's political goal is: Fix broken systems, and the other's is: Never look too closely at anything.

@awstar11 Being American though, I can understand people's confusion about a Republican actually doing Republican things.
