I just struggled hard with the gameplay. Some games throw up road blocks, but TW1 threw up entire mountain ranges for me. Maybe I just didn't quite get something in the mechanics, but it felt like the game would routinely go from playable, to "die incessantly until you grind and overlevel". A lot of the game's difficulty felt like it was just level-gating progression blocks. Maybe I was just trying to go too fast? I admit that I may have just brute-forced my way through things that probably had a more nuanced or subtle solution.

This is also not to say that I dislike TW1 at all. I quite enjoyed it. It just frustrated me more than 2 and 3 combined.

The Witcher 1 is incredibly painful to play, though. I played through it, but it felt incredibly unbalanced at times and just wasn't as well designed as the sequels.

Absolutely. Daggerfall is an excellent game! It has some bugs, sure, and the procedural dungeons are sometimes broken, but it is such a fun game that really pushed what was possible in its time.

Play The Witcher 2. Seriously.

Now TW1... shudders

Learn to redefine "clean". You're not living in a museum. Things don't need to be pristine and dust free.

I picked a day of the week, in my case Saturday, and chose one area of the house to concentrate on. Dishes, laundry, and any other "infinite work" chores can become overwhelming quickly if they're not kept up on, so there are frequently days where that's the only house work that gets done.

The unpopular truth here is that if you value cleanliness enough for this to bother you, you probably should have considered this well before your third kid. Just do yourself a favor and never, ever resent your kids for their messes. I hope you find a way that works for you and maximizes your relationships with your children!

There are so many levels of wrong to this that it's hard to take it all in.

So the mom admits that she thinks they're all pedos, but keeps posting anyway? There are a few different levels of depravity to that one element.

It's not a popular take, but it seems pretty well established that pedophilia is a compulsive mental disorder. Nothing about that absolves them of their actions, but it gives us a base-line that they are all collectively sick in the literal sense.

"Mom", if one could deign to label her such, is admitting that she is slinging images of her underage child to what amount to compulsive addicts. She's exploiting her daughter's innocence for profit, while feeding into the self-destructive compulsion of others, while simultaneously judging her customers with disgust and contempt.

She's so much worse than a drug dealer. This is the worst kind of abuse and exploitation, and really makes you wonder just how much worse it really is behind closed doors for those "extras"?

The entire situation is just a circle-jerk of depravity.

In the trending political climate, maybe this is more appropriate:

  1. Do "gay".
  2. Be crime.

Still have never seen this figure in the wild.

He's not a bad figure at all. He's just finicky, and has some pretty glaring QC issues that vary widely from figure to figure. I got two and kludged them together into one very good figure.

Most folks are just scared of all of the clear plastic, but the more recent clear plastic seems a lot more durable than the plastic of old. I think the biggest complaint I have is just how disconnected his feet look in 'bot mode. It's just weird looking. I mostly display mine in car mode because, let's be honest, that Stingray* is the star of the show.

It could definitely remove one of the most notorious and dangerous places kids get bullied.

Just because you want to be a peeping Tom and watch folks in the bathroom doesn't mean everyone else does.

And how well did that work with Adolph Hitler? History seems to suggest that jailing would-be Fascist dictators only delays the inevitable, and tends to work in their favor by galvanizing their followers over the "injustice" of their incarceration. For moral and ethical reasons, I truly wish that were the appropriate response. History says it isn't nearly as final as the solutions these maniacs devise for their scapegoats.
