It's. A. Beta.

Not a finished game. Still being developed.

This is like walking into a kitchen, taking a bowl of food that isn't ready, and complaining that it's under cooked.

There's going to be missing textures or placeholders. There's going to be performance issues. They will work that stuff out during the beta phase.

If it's not up to your expectations, then just wait until it's fully released.

Honestly, this is the chance you take when you pre-order. It's funny how many people are finding this out.

I guess the only argument here is that the developers should have waited a bit longer to release the open beta.

I was surprised when she brought up Mortal Kombat as an example of over sexualized characters, and not, say, the entire Dead or Alive series. Especially Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. She does make some good points in her video, and I don't want to dismiss her point of view, but I feel she took the easy way out in addressing this point.

Games, and movies and tv, have treated women as sexual objects for a long time, and now the pendulum has swung the opposite way in reaction to that. It's going to take a while for games, and movies and tv, to allow for better perspectives on women. I think the indy scene is where we will find this happening before we ever see it in the major studios, since the latter has to worry about limiting risk and making investors happy. But hopefully the recent flops will be a shot across the bow and wake them up.

Except for that, this was a good video. She lays out her arguments well. I don't agree with every point, but I understand where she's coming from and can respect her point of view.

You can't just post this and not give context. I keep looking at this and go, "How?"

Thanks for sharing this info with us, I for one appreciate the transparency. And thanks for the work the admins and mods put in to keep the spam at bay!

I'm going to start by saying you need to have a frank discussion with your fiance about who's responsible for the cat. I'm taking a bit of a leap here, but it sounds like this isn't the only problem with communication between you two. Also, and I think you know this, but taking the cat to a shelter will put a wedge between you and your fiance if she isn't fully on board with the idea.

As for the cat, well, she's a kitten. It's what they do. But it won't be forever, she will start to calm down in about another 6 months to a year. The constant need to play will start to disappear and probably turn into the need for lap time. She's a lot of work now, but when she's fully grown she'll be a lot more independent and easier to handle. You might even find she'll become a great companion once the kitten energy wears off.

As she grows and learns how to cat, her instincts are telling her what to do when she encounters prey. And the only way for her to get good is to "practice," unfortunately on you. When she starts, grab one of her toys and dangle it in front of her. If she starts going for it, toss it for her to chase.

A toy I suggest you get for her is a Kong Kickeroo. She'll be able to wrap herself around it (like I assume she tries to do with your hands, arms, legs and feet) and really go to town on it. It's good for her and good for you, since she can burn off her energy without causing you pain. To add to her enjoyment, you can grab the tail of the toy and give it gentle tugs while she's wrapped around it to mimic the toy "struggling" to get free.

I hope some of this will help!

I think it's the description that's confusing. These hackers are getting in and writing their own prescriptions from the way it sounds. They then fill these prescriptions at regular pharmacies, or sell the prescriptions for a buyer to then get filled.

Can't read the whole article though without signing up, so maybe it's something different.

Get 2 smaller stones. Put them down in front of the boulder. As you push the boulder up, kick the stones along with it, so that the stones would hold the boulder in place for you. Get to the top, and get hit by lightning from angry gods for your impudence.

God fucking dammit. I put ear buds in for this fucking video.

The idiot who made this didn't realize that their prompts were public, and got called out. The prompts were basically what you see in the pictures, not what they wrote.

And I got all excited to play this, just to find out it's only on Epic for PC. Ugh.

What platforms will The Expanse: A Telltale Series come to at launch on July 27? The Expanse: A Telltale Series is set to launch on Xbox One / X|S , Playstation 5 / Playstation 4, and PC (on PC, it is a limited timed exclusive for Epic Games Store).

And the wait begins.

I use the Medisafe app on Android to keep track of my prescriptions. It will remind you to take it on whatever schedule you set. You can also set it to remind you to refill when you have X amount of pills remaining, with X being whatever amount you choose. It's free, and you don't have to sign up for anything either.
