come close grasshopper, as I tell you a secret: start a fight near any convenience store, then ignore the goons and run inside. smash everything, every shelf, every rack, absolutely everything breakable because it all counts. each individual bottle on that shelf? they all count. smashing the store front windows? counts. if you totally clean the place out you'll get over 100 objects destroyed. move on to the next convenience store and repeat until finished

poo poo, I checked if destroying bikes and stuff with punches counted and it never did, but I never tried to smash up a convenience store.

the hardest part is not killing the goons as they run inside to attack you

also: destroying things with gadgets doesn't count so don't just throw a bunch of cigarettes in there. you gotta do it the old fashioned way

I'm kinda fallen off of Pacha at this point, a lot of choices I don't agree with and I feel like i'm never able to get a moment to breathe. The lack of good places to buy seeds sucks, they really should give you seeds from harvests (at least at a small percent chance). Also whoever decided that winter needs to have a bunch of seasonal plants, gently caress you, winter in these games is supposed to let me focus on other poo poo!!!

lol Diablo IV is free on steam for a *week*

Perfect amount of time to play and burn out on it for free

more like perfect amount of time for the casuals to get into that deadly 4-10 hours of invested time zone that creates a psychological commitment to spending money on the game to finish it

diablo 4 is pretty great up until the second the campaign ends, and all the people who'd get thru the campaign in under a week already bought it

Lol my vet cut their hours to the point where I can't get an appointment without taking a day off of work and also they're booked solid 6 months out. the vet industry is collapsing and I'm gonna just chalk it up to private equity since that seems to be the reason why everything sucks now.

It literally is. The people who make M&M's are also destroying the veterinarian industry and are a nightmare to work for.

I like my Wireless G Pro, aside from the double-triple clicking QA/QC issue (and the just absolutely horrendous offshored logitech support) that went away somehow. i've got one for work and one for home, a+ Intellimouse (GOAT) form factor, good battery/sensor. absolutely zero connectivity issues and no lag

if i had one complaint, the side buttons on intellimouse were better cuz you could also use your ring finger to touch the right-side

$80 is a bit pricey for sure though https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-PRO-Wireless-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B07GCKQD77

mouse selection just always comes down to the form factor first, then finding the model that doesn't suck rear end. for me, intellimouse is the best form factor of all time and i only like ambi-mice. other people like those specific handed forms with the grippy thumb rests.

I also really liked ROCCAT mice, they had fantastic build quality and materials, but i havent used one in like 7 years: https://www.roccat.com/collections/gaming-mice

I have a fancy gaming mouse, the Razer Basilisk, and it's perfectly designed for my hand, almost like it was directly made with it in mind. But it's so perfectly ergonomically suited to my hand that I feel like someone might not have a good experience with it if they don't have the same size hands. I have long fingers and a normal-sized hand. I feel like it might not work well with shorter fingers, or with a larger palm.

edit: drat, you can get the base version (which has the most important part to me, the form factor) for pretty cheap - https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Basilisk-Customizable-Ergonomic-Gaming/dp/B09C13PZX7

Politifact says this statement is FALSE: A playthrough of XCOM 2's campaign can be completed in around 30-35 hours, with variables based on player skill and difficulty.

Idk maybe it's because I played with war of the chosen on but that poo poo was long as hell. Definitely longer than 35 hours.

Also maybe I suck so plug that into your stats Mr science guy :hehe:

I find that games usually take me much longer to finish than the stated amounts. I'm not sure why it is, since I'm not exactly some mega-completionist.

I honestly dont remember having an issue with seeds in the game. I had a pretty long vertical farm and always had way more that I could plant? the seed guy was right next to your base iirc.

thats also just how most of these games go is there's always multiple things you could be doing, but there's also no real true time crunch so you can just do whatever you feel like at your leisure

but anyways, give Sandrock a whirl. its good, better than Pacha imo
