Honestly on here, a 60/40 split isn't bad at all. Squid fought the good fight.Poll closes in 37 minutes. Team Squid, you put up a good fight, but you never really had a chance of beating Team JRPG on Famiboards

I hope atlus can revisit this spinoff that at the very least will do on par or better (since its different scope, combat, etc.) that Soul Hackers.

Just keep having fun in Splatoon 3, I find that actually playing games helps with dealing with FOMO.The list is growing and growing and the FOMO is killing. I wasn't going to buy Splatoon 3 but I ended up buying it and playing it actively. Feeling of Splatoon 1 is back with this one.

Hello.
Good morning! If it's still morning. Or even if it isn't. Whatever, it's Monday, and I need more coffee
Man, I remember all the doom and gloom around the hole in the ozone layer. It was in science textbooks as the literal examole of the consequences of environmental pollution. And humanity as a collective righted the ship and now here we are. See, we can change the world for the better.- Density of ozone-destroying chemicals in the atmosphere have fallen 50% since the 1980s

Unfortunately, the crazies are everywhere.
The best and by far the hardest thing you can do is work tirelessly to improve your surroundings, defeat misconceptions that these people have of you or "da librulsl" (it can happen, believe it or not--I've seen it. Just not to all).
That is what I'm trying to tell myself, actually.All that being said, in my experience, the good people far outweigh the bad. But they're good people, which is why they aren't front page news. They're helping, not burning things to the ground for power.

I was just in Portland a few months ago. Downtown was legitimately creepy to be in. Boarded up windows, almost no people around except in tents or walking fast, no music, barely any cars, trash (including NEEDLES) all over the place. Never went back to Downtown. The outer neighborhoods are much better.I lived in Salem from 2009-12 and in Portland from 2016-21. I love Oregon, it’s a great state.
Portland does have problems. Not in the way that conservatives think, but I’d be lying if I said I thought it didn’t. Homelessness is a pretty huge problem. Part of that is because the PNW is one of the few places in the country where you can live outside and not die due to heat or cold, and Portland has a reputation of being a homeless-friendly city, so I think a lot of people who are about to start experiencing homelessness try to get there for their own survival (there are longstanding rumors of other cities giving their homeless population bus tickets to Portland, but I don’t know how true they are…). But the other factor is that Portland is sort of the exact wrong amount of liberal, as far as addressing its homelessness problem is concerned: it’s liberal enough where they decide they can’t tell homeless people not to form encampments on every street corner downtown, but not leftist enough where they are able to actually address the problem by providing housing and support, because that would cost money.
Covid also hit Portland hard, and a ton of the sort of cultural fabric of the city – the stuff that makes paying extra to live in a city worth it – closed. That happened everywhere, but in Portland a lot of those places were already sort of struggling before covid because all the landlords seem to want to price Portland like Seattle even though Portland doesn’t have an Amazon or Microsoft. Covid was just sort of the final nail in the coffin and the end result is sort of a hollow city. There are huge parts of what should be a vibrant downtown core that are just boarded up and whole neighborhoods that basically feel like homeless camps. And the condition of the city got noticeably worse during the time I lived there. When I invited out of state friends to Portland and showed them around, I was sort of embarrassed, even in, like, 2017.
But I still love Portland. I love that it has good transit and I didn’t need to own a car. I love the book culture there, with Powell’s and fantastic indie comic book shops like Books With Pictures and Floating World. I think Portland will bounce back, but…it’ll take a lot of time, I think. When I left it sort of felt like “it’ll get worse before it gets better.” To borrow the turn of phrase, I love Portland but it breaks my heart.
That is what I'm trying to tell myself, actually.

They're all over the place. Under rocks, in the sand on the beach, I think maybe even some in a crane game machine or something?Where do I collect my sea shells?
Cortana wishes she didWhen's the last time we got a bad video game adaptation? It seems like everything recently has ranged from merely okay (Detective Pikachu) to great (Arcane). I just realized that when I was watching the TLOU trailer. We've come a long way.
EDIT: Wait, I forgot about Halo fuck

OMG EXCITEBIKE ICONS ON NSO THIS IS NOT A DRILL
Despite Mass Effect 2 being one of my favorite games, I never replayed 3 after my first time through, and so never gave Citadel a try. I'll probably get around to it someday.Mass Effect 3 Citadel expansion is silly but brilliant.
Okay first of allOh cool. Icons based off a Mario Kart 8 track. Will definitely have to check them out.
I forgot to collect them the last time I went to the beach, but I do have a large amount of Yeah!s to hand out for anyone who wants one.Where do I collect my sea shells?
Holy shit, they have a data ship 1200 icon!OMG EXCITEBIKE ICONS ON NSO THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Spectacular edit here. Can’t even tell it’s doctored.

Why is Mario upset? Does he not like racing on Excite Bike?
I can't wait for Nintendo to release a new track called Wave Race as part of the MK8 booster pack. Then they can release Wave Race NSO icons based on the track.
The start of autumn is the best time for the windows to be open. Get the crisp air, can cover yourself with blankets, and the animals tend to want to snuggle more often.It’s been pretty cold in my room lately because I’ve been keeping my windows open so the cats will visit (they like to hang out in the windowsill)
