I have read some bad fucking Star Wars books in my youth. Still love them. Even Darksaber, where a random hutt builds a death star because it's actually even easier to build planet-destroying weapons than Disney made it seem.

You are using a Masterlock 176. It can be opened with a Masterlock 176.

Yep, it sounds pretty much exactly like what people expected.

Honestly, I'm on a bit of a Star Wars kick lately and it's been long enough since I've played an Ubisoft open world to find some enjoyment, so I might pick this up. But it certainly doesn't sound like it's going to blow me away.

Yeah, there was a whole kerfuffle about it because all the files were still on the disc, therefore some jurisdictions re-rated the game to some version of adults only. Rockstar definitely did all the development work to get that sex in the game, they just decided not to show it in normal gameplay.

On the one hand, Ina would be a great roommate in that she never leaves her room.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I recall a room cleaning stream in which a certain priestess basically just spent a ton of time throwing cans that were lying around into a bag, which doesn't sound great.

I went from being glad this goofy-looking game is getting some attention to realizing I wasn't one of those 5000 wishlists already. Oops.

Game looks like it'll be a fun little experience, I'm looking forward to it!

This is cursed, and every added detail is more cursed. Holy moly.

Usually if I throw whey protein into something and it comes out chalky the problem is not enough liquid, you may have just reduced it too far. I'd probably try adding... chicken broth? Man that feels gross to suggest, but I imagine adding milk to Chinese food would be worse.

God speed on that diet, my man, you need it.

This sounds much more like the reason. 12pm-3pm, plus some time before and after to prep and commute and stuff, plus these things often run long in my experience... It easily becomes most of the afternoon. If you have anything else you need to do that day it becomes a fairly big deal.

I agree with all of this. Except I would probably buy all the stupid shit I want because I have no concept of how all the stupid shit I want could amount to more than a rounding error.

Unironically my two favorite sauces for fries. I attribute a not insignificant portion of my weight gain pre-COVID on slathering cafeteria fries with too much mayo.

I'm 31 and it happens sporadically, but in the past couple of weeks I had one guy double-take because he figured there was no way I was that old and one lady who gave me a good ol' "keep doin' what you're doin'."

The ego boost is necessary since my body insists on groaning every time I sit down.

It's the maccas nuggets, really. God bless Bae, she needs it.

'Tis the season and I figure I should finally put up some Christmas lights on the house, but ideally I'd like something I can leave up and change colours for other holidays, shots and giggles, etc. So getting some RGB LED strips sounds reasonable.

The problem, potentially, is that it gets below -30° here pretty much every winter. I know this is problematic for batteries, and sometimes other electronics depending on the build, but for a bunch of LEDs with some sort of ZigBee controller I'm less sure.

So: outdoor RGB LEDs when it's really freaking cold. Anything I should worry about? Any recommendations?
