100% with the people saying to get into a hobby to meet people. You're guaranteed to connect at some level. Gaming as a hobby actually makes meeting people pretty easy, if you don't mind starting out as long distance relationships

I met my partner of 8 years on World of Warcraft!

Of course! I'm not saying reviews are pointless, just that it's ok to dislike a critically acclaimed game, or find value in a game isn't as well received.

If a game looks interesting, less than stellar reviews aren't going to stop me from buying it, but it might make me wait for sale.

Ultimately, your game experience is entirely your own.

Second this! I appreciate game critics and routinely factor their opinions into whether I'll buy a game sooner rather than later. But sometimes there are imperfect games you connect with, and 10/10 games that you don't mind missing.

Even in terms of art: it's helpful to read a critic's impression on an art piece, but it's also worth it to experience it yourself and form your own opinions.

What brand is that chair? Looks so comfy! Also, your cat's name is amazing

I'm the oldest. I have a younger sister and brother.

We're all close and extremely comfortable with each other, but they're closer with each other than me, given their closeness in age.

I don't live at home with them anymore, but our relationship always feels natural and picks up where it left off even after being away for so long. I think we've been fortunate in that we've never felt to the need to compete with each other, and I think of them as a constant in my life that that I can always count on

Edit: removed some age info

I watch a lot of food shows, and he always comes across as a bit douchey and arrogant - but idk how much of that is a personality for TV.

I went to Bobby's Burger Palace once though, and it was pretty good!

I knew this was AccidentalRenaissance but I still did a double take at the horse. Something about the lighting makes it look slightly "textured" like a painting. Beautiful shot!

An oversized poncho cape from the local Goodwill. It was woven in different shades of blue and while I'd never wear it outside, I've used it as a wearable blanket at home for a few years now.

I found out it was actually hand made, and costs 300+ USD from the original shop. Bonus points, I feel like a wizard when I wear it

Now that I think about it, maybe they always have been, sort of? The earliest memes I remember are the rage comics

Though, I feel like "meme" = funny relatable thing nowadays.

I swear, kids are the cruelest at that age. I ate lunch in the bathroom stall a few times in my first week of middle school because it was better than being in the cafeteria

I'm hopeful that this turns out well, and have less impact on the environment like they mentioned.

I wish they delved more into what the differences were between the "pharmaceutical grade" and non-pharmaceutical grade versions of meat.

Either way, I worry that it'll probably be a bit more expensive, just like the current meat alternatives.

At the moment, Beyond meat is the best meat substitute I've eaten so far.

Edit: added a sentence

I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more romantic development, but it was a such a wonderful show overall that I don't mind waiting.

Mitsumi is my favorite female lead in awhile
