I played it for 10 minutes.

It is really bad.

So the way you find out where you are starting is by picking a job offer, which are all made by other players in the game. I picked to be a Vassal of some kind of lord but it gave me the option to build buildings in his city. So I took everyone off of food production and built every building. The shortest build time was 5 REAL LIFE days.

The pulse pounding action was too much to handle so I logged off never to return.

pig i could have warned you because i was reading the manual and there was a secertion where the designer was like "i would have made instant messaging impossible and instead based on medieval messenger travel times but then i realized people would use emails or forums instead"

The NHL embraces a past it retroactively fabricated to the detriment of its skill players. The league encourages boring, conservative play that passes for "defense" but really just requires a basic understanding of angles and a willingness to drape your arms around someone/dive in front of pucks. Skill players are ground down into cogs in defensive machines that try to win games 2-0 and look at any high risk, exciting play as a justification to bench or waive the offending player.

The NHL has had two of the lowest scoring years of the modern era in succession and doesn't really care to fix the game because reasons???

Certain off ice decisions like expansion into Miami and Phoenix are equally ridiculous but that's not really a matter of the on-ice product past dilution of talent via expansion

The weather website lied to me about rain and I ran for 30 minutes in a steady light rain. And yet I feel good. I fear I'm becoming a runner person :ohdear:

Also I dreamt I went to vote and I voted Hillary Clinton who would not stop following me to ask me questions about what demographic I fell into so I could "help her stats". She was a bit pushy.

As someone starting out with experience in both HoN and LoL, let me tell you this much: complicated as gently caress, a lot of micro/hotkey knowledge is required if you want to be good, community is super toxic. I'm going to play a couple of games a day and figure I'll be passable in...2 months.

tonight the bob and I saw the comedian hari kondabolu and he was very funny. we then ate tacos while watching brooklyn nine-nine, and so it was definitely a good evening. I hope your evenings were as pleasant as mine, especially the following people:

- derp
- 100yrs (last night obviously)
- CCKeane

Glad you had fun, Brooklyn 99 is really fun and dumb and it saddens me that Netflix has only got through S.2 because streaming otherwise is annoying..

Last night and yesterday as a whole was great. It was my 1 year anniversary of my civil union to J and she got us a fancy fish soup (we're on soup diet it seems) and made a tomato salad, out of season, all bought from a super fancy food store in Paris over at the department store known as the Galerie Lafayette. Earlier that day I hung out with my new friend and decided that she's actually pretty cool and not crazy like the other people I've tried tied to be friends with as of late.

It's like a 50% chance, when I meet someone, that they're ok or not.

Considering it took me like 6 months to be passable at CS assuming I'm passable now that seems p. good.

league of legends has better infrastructure. of game. gamestructure. unfortunately league developers also keep adding new champions and just adding a 0 to the end of all their stat numbers.

bloodline champions was my favorite moba because it was basically a fighting game. probably accidental that it was any good as the devs proved themselves to be baboons later

well ill tell you what you shouldn't be playing. dragon's dogma. that game is a freaking snooze fest.

i recommend playing 'master of magic,' a game where you buy unit, improve city, and cast spell.

Yeah there's a reason the go-to beginner's guide is called "welcome to dota, you suck."

The good news is that if you learn one moba the skills are highly transferable to others.
