Have the restaurants shut down y'all's neighborhoods?

Yep. Restaurants have had to be carry-out or drive-thru only since St. Patrick's Day here.

I didn't say anything before, but I saw this image again, and the screenshot was at the perfect time to get the correct facial response to Atton's comment.

[*]Empty shelves don't happen because of socialism. They happen because of human panic. Capitalism didn't save us from a lack of Charmin. List time I went shopping there were long waiting lines in front of shops (many shops around here limit the number of people who can be inside, and the waiting l...

It will be a far more comfortable end . .

It is weirdly comforting.

uuurg . . the horrible mixture of crack and cocaine and powderes sugar that is stellaris got me again with the federations DLC . . I hear you. It was like 4 hours after I normally go to sleep that I realized I had enjoyed 0 minutes of the game and uninstalled it. Paradox makes absolutely shit games...

I'm on day seven thousand and something of isolation. I fear I may have gone mad, but that was 20 years ago, not a result of current events. Yeah, the problems I've seen are other people not knowing how to handle not seeing people/leaving their homes every week. Hell, the Minister for Corruption wh...

The cover features a dangerous gunman with a tiny head, sporting a haircut that feels like it was the bleeding edge of 1990. His hands and body also look small, so maybe the jacket is just twice as big as it should be? Either way, cover art of this quality certainly makes an impression. Also, I am ...

All restaurants and similar establishments have been closed here, which means a lot of people are out of work. Our city council is aware that means they can't make rent. The solution is twofold. Give money to the companies and landlords who are losing money right now, and do more to punish all of th...

You mentioned not getting a lightsaber for half the game, which is true (you can get one as early as the third planet without ultra-rare drops, if you go to the right planet). Considering this is the "oops all jedi" sequel to the first game, you'd think jedi swords might show up ever, and ...

I'm just going to spoiler this one, but I will say that I'm not sure anatomy works this way.

You don't like playing any games like 'a 1 negates a hit' or 'a 6 counts as two hits'? I think the normal argument is: It's easier to check "die is greater than X" than it is to check "die is greater than X, and also it's a 6, which means this rule applies." It's not a huge incr...

Also, a special shout-out to the nurse who upon being told that my insurance doesn't cover my shrink and that I'm looking for a zoloft refill got this terrified look in her eyes, told me she wasn't comfortable helping me, and asked me to leave. On a side note why are nurses more likely than average...

Can you do me a favor, and when the best Star Wars character BD-4D shows up, have them lie when they say they're not going to cause any trouble? I mean, there's a reason you get dark side points for starting a fight with them later. It's because you're a dick for stopping their multi-planet heist bi...

We're deciding to stay home (yay!). Sadly, I'm giving the cat about 50-50 odds on making it through this. She does love being by us, though, which is good. We're trying to play at least one playthorugh on every board and card game we have in our gaming closet this week as a family. We started right...

I don't know if consular required a lot of min maxing unless you were light sided. Even with the slightly worse equipment draws, an endgame darkside sith lord literally couldn't cast force lightning faster than you regenerated force points. Disclaimer: I only play on medium. Ymmv on hard. The need ...

Man, this game makes me want to play the original. I'm reminded how the consular/space mage was difficult to win as unless you really min-maxed, and how the dark-side bonuses and gear are noticeably worse even though you were dark side for power. But does an end boss fight that you have to actually ...

A politician who wants things to work correctly? Awesome.

March break starts for us next week (or I guess, this afternoon). All of Ontario schools (which excludes First Nations communities) have canceled school for the two weeks following March break. Our school hasn't said they're doing that. My wife originally wanted to go to Winnipeg for March break, a...

I think Prak is talking about the other things called action points, which are basically Edge for D&D. Getting to reroll a die or some similar bonus once or twice per [longish time period] takes some of the edge off the RNG (ironically) so that trying Very Important actions with a 30% failure r...

Something I wish more RPG's did, if you have all the clues and your character has a 19 intelligence it just lets you know the password. You can still puzzle it out if you have a lower intelligence (note: I am not sure where the cutoff is, I just know I have a 19 int at this point). I had 14 int at ...

I tried to find posts talking about action/hero/fate/whatever points, but only found posts mentioning such and such game had them, or Zine talking about games that give you points to spend on actions each round. I'm working on some transformer homebrew for 3.5, and am looking at using an action poi...

It helps that the US has more in the way of impressive problems with their healthcare and workers' rights. Yeah, it's fun knowing that, when I'm sick, I still pretty much have to show up to work anyway. I can't afford to just take time off work, or go see a doctor enough times that I get permission...

Also, a large enough of it is or recently has been on fire that the trees don't block the view.

So let's talk about stealth for a minute... You're Jack and you've climbed the Bean Stalk. You enter the giant's castle, and your goal is to get to the singing harp undetected, grab it, and go. Like, clearly that's what the CHARACTER wants, but the story DEMANDS that Jack gets spotted and the chase...
