I got one for my kids last year and the delivery guy must've been mad cause he just left it in the driveway out of sight from the front door but on clear display from the street without ringing the doorbell

I guess a snatch and grab on a trampoline would be tough though

e: on a side note, it's one of those things the kids go crazy for for like two weeks then stop using it entirely :v:

I never played the Witcher games until 3 so after I played it for like 250 hours I decided to give 2 a look and welp there's no going back I guess

I did this exact same thing. Played 2 for maybe 10 minutes and never touched it again. I’ve played 3 in full 3 times though.

Watching the show makes me want to do another play through but I’m waiting for them to release the remaster

If you bounced off of Witcher 1 or 2 for that reason don't worry about it, those don't exist. Steam tells me I played them but I remember absolutely nothing.

Witcher 2 is a work of art. It's the best version of the fantasy political machinations thing Ive ever seen. The combat systems clunky as gently caress tho and absolutely punishing at times but god drat do I love that game.

I played Witcher 1 and it was fine but yes the swamp section sucks and drags too long. I can see how if you started with Witcher III you wouldn't be able to get into it though.

Never got into 2 because A: I wasn't a fan of the combat and B: I got a ways in and then my laptop crashed and wiped out all my progress.

I played about an hour of Witcher 3 at my brother's house once and it was fun. That said if I ever picked it up I'm sure I'd feel weird about not having played 1 and 2, even if 3 has some sort of plot onboarding. And no one really recommends anyone play 1 or 2 these days.

My nieces have a trampoline and they play on it when we visit.

I think the utilization of a trampoline is based on the amount of time an adult is there to keep the peace.

totally fair, its way less smooth than 3. they do this amazing thing in 2 where the second act has two separate paths and whatever you choose you won't see the other one. 1/3 of the game is completely divergent depending on your choice in the first act. its wild.

I got Moderna 3 yesterday, and so far it's been less than Moderna 2, possibly because the dosage is half what Moderna 2 was.

You absolutely don't have to play 1 or 2, like you really don't. They're slogs, kinda gross in a lot of ways, and pretty dated by now. 3 stands up on its own and is one of my favorite games ever personally.

Like the only thing that would make you feel bad is the thing toward the beginning where they ask if you want to simulate an imported Witcher 2 save, and you'll be just fine saying no since you don't know or care about that poo poo.

I just got over a nasty cold/sinus infection that had me miserable for a solid two weeks, and a few days still pretty bleh after that. Wasn’t COVID according to two tests though, but that’s not stopping one of my friends who got a close contact notification today from telling everyone he thinks it’s from me :wtf:

look, i get its comforting to believe the ship will right itself somehow and suddenly all the truly horrifying things that are building will be solved but im not that sort of optimist so you'll forgive me for looking for any other solution

was referring to a full collapse. they're just status quo. the current system guarantees they'll be back in power within 1-2 cycles. im saying perhaps it'd be better if the system was broken

please point me to these incremental improvements bc as far as i can tell things, on the whole, have just steadily been degrading my whole life. also idk, the storming of the capitol building seemed like things are moving faster than they were

Not really.

Steve king was from Iowa and kept a confederate flag on his desk.

Confederate flag means a ton of different things to different people, none of them good.

There are confederate flags on parade at anti vax protests in Australia.

Air fryer. More versatile and easier to use.

Get him some Costco Dino-nugs to go along with it.

that's not nature's way
We got two air fryers as housewarming gifts and kept them both because air fryers are so goddamn convenient. There are weeknights where dinner is five minutes of prep, 15-20 minutes of dueling air fryers, and some quick steamed veggies. Twenty-five minutes, start to finish, for something that'd normally take longer and be a little less healthy. They take up a lot of space, but they're nifty.
