surprised I can't actually find odds on that.you'd think someone will have published numbers. Gonna say all three though. SpaceX has gotten pretty good at it. They even accidentally landed one recently, because apparently that's a thing For anyone not following: They plan on landing the side boosters at Canaveral and the central booster on the Of Course I Still Love You out in the atlantic. hopefully no unplanned lithobraking maneuvers in the process Also looks like they're fueling the second stage atm, so probably not gonna see a scrub.

Crusader Kings 2
Its fun. A good intro is to start as dublin. Your heir to something else as well, which means when the old man eats it you get two earldoms, and it puts you in a solid position to stomp all over Ireland, which in turns puts you in position to stomp over wales and scotland which in turns puts you in position to stomp over england and then your singing "Rule, Britannia" for the rest of the game

True, however it's not like C&Cs controls were that fantastic. TA is the one responsible a non-horrible UI That and macro>micro every day of the week, even if i did get my as routinely handed to me in TA 2 by a 60 something year old retiree who could manage 40 APM on a good day >_> .

Yer missing out.

Horrible horrendous hideous Housemates
I'll do one potentially better. I was visiting a friend who lives in such a place because it is fairly cheap, and while we were having waffles on the balcony on Sunday morning, two girls in another unit came out on their balcony, sat down with a can of beer each and began discussing the STD test results they had gotten back ... one had received a clean bill, the other shared to whoever was listening that she had chlamydia, but was going to pick up her antibiotic prescription the next day. My friend was unsurprising by this; he's become immune to the classless antics of his neighbors I think. A presumably 20 something is sexually active is taking basic steps to ensure her health and is unashamed of it? What a scandal, that whore should just keep her damn legs closed amiright? More likely it's about her willingness to talk openly (with strangers listening) about such private matters. BTW it's funny how times are changing. Now people presumably having multiple partners are just "sexually active". *shrug* not really my business who she bumps uglies with. "Yea I've got an ear infection, but am going to pick up antibiotics tomorrow" "oh you poor thing" "Yea I've got bronchitis, but am going to pick up antibiotics tomorrow" "oh you poor thing" "Yea I've got chlamydia, but am going to pick up antibiotics tomorrow" "Classless fuck." GIven that well over half of cases chlamydia affecting women are asymptomatic, but can end in all kinds of unfortunate effects if not caught, better people be willing to talk about it than not.

Does he have a job? He might be mocking you beecause its that or admit to himself his life is sucky. He does have a job, and actually one quite similar to mine. I think he is upset that I'm moving up in mine whereas he's not experienced any recognition or advancement. I'll do one potentially better.

DLCs gone from Steam
If it's electronic it still takes a bit of time to clear, even if only 30 minutes or so. Steam places a hold on your account to check if it has enough money and to make sure it will still have that money when it comes time to process the transaction. I've seen it happen a few times with pre-paid cards, every so often mastercard will accept the transaction before they've authorized the card on their end, which means the retailer doesn't actually get their money and you have a slightly grouchy retailer.

That... shouldn't have been too difficult to work out? Transactions via credit cards and etc can take a while to clear. Rather than making you wait, Steam just gives you the benefit of the doubt and gives you access to your purchase. The transaction failing to clear is pretty much the only reason I've ever seen Steam pull something from someones account. Chances are you got an email about that a couple years back once they realized the snafu.

Xbox One vs PS4
I remember there was one quest I was doing for a lady, I think it was somewhere outside of Caldera. She wanted me to find a cave/mine using the ever so vague direction of go north east or something like that. I never found it but did spend a couple hours wandering around killing countless creatures which attacked me. Another thing to mention is some quests that overlap, which I think wasn't supposed to happen. You remember the main quest mission Path of the Incarnate? The one where you must travel to the 3 Houses and have them support you? Well one guy you have to duel in an arena and the other people you basically have to kill them as well. After I beat the main quest I was wondering around and talked to the Grandmaster of the Imperial Legion. He started yelling at me saying he must duel me because of me trying to become the incarnate or nerevarine, nevermind the fact I had already done that a long time ago and this guy wasn't tied to the guest. So I fight him and kill him and go about my way. I eventually join the Imperial Faction and get to the last quest where I must fight the grandmaster if I want to take his place. But since I already had killed him, I could never finish the Imperial Legion. I looked online and their is a glitch with the GOTY Edition where that will sometimes happen if you are tied to the Redoran House. But nothing about if you've only completed the main quest and never joined a House. Another thing that would bother me, is you'd find something in a cave, go into town to sell it, and have the merchant confiscate it from you saying you stole it from them. Best example of hilarious quest shens is if you do the main quest after being the Patriarch of the temple. Declare yourself the Nerevarine and you start getting attacked by the temple because of heresy, despite being the boss of the place and never being expelled. So apparently you, as the ultimate power in the temple get called a heretic despite being the one who gets to define that, get attacked by the temple guards who are there to serve the temple (and by extension yourself as the head of the place...) and are never removed from that post. Yea..... Oh, then you then need vivec's blessing, so you need to sneak (or kill) your way into your temple where you get the cooperation of your predecessor because being the Archcanon doesn't have a key to the Palace of Vivec (even though the old one did), who despite being retired is located in the Archcanon's office (which is to say your office) which you need to break into because you also don't have a key to it, whereupon your predecessor gives you the key to your own office....

Xbox One vs PS4
Yea no, being told where you need to go is east when infact it's west? Not good. Random and arbitrary difficulty spikes(Oh hey look random highway bandit, sneak sneak sneak *backstab* bandits health bar moves two pixels and you get one shotted... Plus the entirely identical enemies of stupid difficulty changes, Orc A looks exactly like Orc B but oOrc B has 4 times the health for no good reason ) with nothing approaching an advancement curve? Not good. That dumb fuck hyperlink wiki convo system where everyone spouts the same thing at you? Not good. That clusterfuck of a journal? Soooo not good. None of that is difficulty, it's poor game design and terrible and arbitrary level checks. The lack of directions in morrowind doesn't seem bad now because you know where shit is and the rose covered glasses do their thing. I lost actual hours I could have been having fun following shitty directions. Remember that lady who wants you to hunt down mudcrabs? THAT was fun wasn't it. Yea the quest marker isn't all that realistic but so is the lack of anatomical correctness for the horses and I can happily deal with both of those breaks in reality in lieu of the other options. And TES being TES, there are mods available to fix that for you. Yes that includes a mod to make horses anatomically correct and If you're stupid enough to fact check me on that, brain beach is beneath the sink over thataway. >_> Also the books and journals? Skyrim has something in the neighbourhood of a thousand of them giving you everything from lore, to stuff detailing previous games, to stuff about major characters, to pure fluff about minor ones (The letter you can pickpocket off Jon Battle-Born is a favorite of mine)

Xbox One vs PS4
I agree completely. Games like Morrowind, Neverwinter Nights, and Final Fantasy all do a great job at making you feel immersed inside the story. Its interesting that as games become more advanced, it seems its harder for them to replicate that same kind of feeling. We're remember a very different version of morrowind then. Fun as it was, it played like a bad hiking simulator with hideous directions backed by the world's dullest most repetitive hyperlink wiki. Immersion was not something it did well.

Naruto
sure. But those were the three that were mentioned

Naruto
Naruto got boring/annoying fast, Bleach was good right up to the end of the Soul Society arc where it started to get stupid (Is Aizen even dead yet?). One piece was entertaining right up to the point I forgot where I was and I've never gotten around to rewatching since.

Anyone silly enough to keep that kind of money in cash without appropriate insurance deserves what they get.

Whiskey/Water trick
Take a spoon, flip it upside down then touch it to the glass above but near the last layer. Pour your next layer over the back of the spoon. Might need to replace/wash the spoon for each layer. Easy peasy
