I'm thinking a big C with an inscribed O, and maybe the O can have a map/globe/compasa inside of it.

It's soju, a Korean grain spirit, traditionally made with rice. This one is peach flavored, which means it barely tastes like alcohol and goes down extra easy, since most soju nowadays is low proof liquor.

Interesting that the screen has such an aggressive curve, but the scanlines and text box are relatively straight.

Ah yes, the solution is to give a few students in each poorly-funded school district the opportunity to go to a well-funded private school instead of just funding the public schools.

The charter school grift is evolving.

I just wanted to point out that Oral B's basic electric toothbrushes still range from $45-$80, so it's not quite as cheap as you say it is. Your point still stands in its entirety. The only thing that makes this product different from the $45 model is the Alexa functionality, and taking that away makes it effectively not the same product.

Computer anxiety can be pretty awful. I'm in a long distance relationship as well, and when my partner's laptop broke (charger port issue) we were stuck communicating only through their phone. For a couple that likes to remotely play games together and watch media together, this is a huge roadblock.

We ended up utilizing a (used) chromebook as a temporary solution until we were able to regain access to the laptop after repairs.

If you do enjoy the gameplay loop of monster hunter in general, that humble bundle is very nice to have. Good value there, lots of hours to be had in both games + both DLCs.

I'm not really understanding why this portrait looks this way... Is the black blob on the bottom left his bent leg? If it is his bent leg, what's the tan colored bit at the bottom? Or is the black blob some random giant pouch on his hip, alongside the other more pouch-like object on his hip? Is the bow being held close to his body (arm bent?) or does he have a short left arm?

So many questions...

I remember chilling in the basement and using the PS2 to listen to music. Of course, I gamed on it plenty, but having the music player and DVD player function was pretty convenient too.

Played some Crisis Core FF7 (PSP) during down time on a road trip. I forgot how clunky the game feels, but it's entertaining enough.

I'd like to see how the remaster compares... According to what I've heard, the cutscenes are upscales of the original FMVs, which are both odd and intriguing.

Does that make pixel dungeon an actual roguelike? Never played the original rogue.
