I'm out of energy but not out of curiosity about the spikes for Paris and the shift for Chakotay, especially since Resolutions was in season 2.

My 18 year old sphynx, Hairry, had congestive heart failure last Sunday, but I got him to a vet in time for them to help. He's doing well on medications and I get some extra time with him.sphynx cat curled up in a blanket with a leg stretched out

The vet was an ordeal as their initial diagnosis was lymphoma and were going to give steroids. A friend that works there offered to come in on her day off, made them wait for radiology to report back, and figured out it was heart failure. If they had given him steroids, it would probably have killed him, so I'm extra grateful she gave him some extra attention and care. He still had to stay in an oxygenated kennel for a day and a half as the meds cleared the fluid from around his heart and out of his lungs.

On my phone, the bottom was just cut off. I searched for way too long before realizing that.

He only thought it was a fart. Not the first time for this error.

I thought it was a weird Sailor Moon AI image at first, but then it kept getting worse.

Best: 6. The music, characters, and Kefka are just the best.

6 was also my first. While I've tried to go back and play 1 through 4, none of them hooked me like 6. 7 is probably my second favorite, but I did not like the remake, especially the combat. After 7, most of them were just ok at best. 5 is also adequate. Never played the MMO ones, though my partner does, so I get grape memes and such by proxy. We've also played through 6 while reading the lines to each other in character, and split the side content of 15 while doing the main plot points together. We tried to go through the 7 remake together, but it was such a slog that we put it on "have the CPU win all the battles" just to get it done.

All we need to know about Boba Fett is covered in MC Chris's Fett's Vette.

So there's clothed ones and then the two humping ones right in the front and a bunch of other unclothed one everywhere, so did the clothed ones just arrive late to the orgy or what?

Really been enjoying Dark Winds.

Didn't hit the suddenly stopped box truck on the highway. The giant pickup truck behind me did not hit me. Leaving enough space in front of me was skill, that the person behind me did as well was the luck.

Hobbies, sure. But specialization comes with tools and learning that generalists don't have, couldn't possibly afford, and would be a ridiculous amount of things to store and knowledge to remember. E.g. I don't want to do my own dentistry and I'd prefer an expert for that. Dentistry in the US requires a whole medical degree, specialized tools, etc. I also don't own the equipment nor have the knowledge to find and drill a well if I want to be "self sufficient".

You don't have to be an expert, and that can be very freeing, but we do need them and becoming an expert has opportunity costs. That doesn't mean experts are shallow or becoming a generalist is deep or morally better nor does it mean generalists are in any way insufficient.

 

When I was doing some cleanup and running into enemies in old areas, it made me realize how slow combat is and why. If you have timed blocks, it has to be slow to give players time to react to attacks, so every enemy attack animation ends up being long and they all add up.
