I remember this episode of Parks and Recreation
The player believes that this transformation feature is in Bloodborne but wasn’t ever added to the playable game.
Uhh… What? It was added in the DLC with the Beast’s Embrace rune. Equip that rune and the Beast Claw and voila! You’re now a beast.
I really liked Dawncaster but then I didn’t play it for awhile and when I came back it had changed significantly and all the builds that I used to win with consistently no longer worked out. Honestly it’s probably more balanced now than before but I haven’t spent enough time with it to get good again.
I’d add Slice and Dice to that list
I really wanted to enjoy them but I just couldn’t get into the first book. Between the naval terminology and my complete lack of knowledge of the geopolitics of the era, I never really settled into the narrative because I spent all my time trying to decipher what was actually going on.
It’s a really poorly written article. The FOX 55 article they link is definitely better written.
This article starts by saying it’s a “local Indianapolis grocery store” and then says it’s in Fort Wayne. If a Fort Wayne grocery store counts as Indianapolis then every grocery store in the entire state must count as an Indianapolis grocery store.
Do you have a source for that? As far as I can tell he supported decriminalization and allowing individual states to legalize but I don’t see any sources where he supported full legalization.
Any commercial entity that knowingly shares or distributes material that is harmful to minors on a website and such material appears on 25% or more of the webpages viewed on such website in any calendar month

They can host as many non-porn videos as they want but it doesn’t matter if people aren’t watching those videos. For every webpage with porn, they’d have to force the user to visit three webpages without porn first.
It turns out that I had to beat level 4 to unlock the red and blue heroes. Which didn’t take long at all but seems a little strange to me.
Anyway, I finally did an actual run and it seems like there was a bunch of new content from the last update.
I used to play this game quite a bit on my phone and had a ton of fun with it. One of the roguelikes that I’ve played the most (I haven’t played a ton of them but this one stuck with me more than most).
Yesterday I randomly decided to start another run and it seems to have changed significantly since I’d last played it. I started a new Classic run and started getting some of the randomly generated heroes like the Random runs used to have? I’m not sure I like that.
Who defined that term? The radio stations. Artists and labels typically do not use that label, it’s primarily the radio stations.
When classic rock stations started to appear in the '80s, they played popular hits from the '60s–'80s. So it included newly released hits. But when grunge came into the scene in the '90s, it had a different audience than the classic rock stations so they stopped including new hits. For about two decades there, it was fairly unambiguous that classic rock meant popular rock from the '60s–'80s.
After enough time though, grunge was no longer alienating to the classic rock stations listeners. The opposite became true and the stations could increase their audience by including hits from the '90s.
This raises the question: Did those '90s songs become classic rock or is the term fixed and anything not considered classic rock now never going to be considered classic rock? Who gets to define it? The radio stations who originally defined it or the public perception that developed during the period of time when classic rock stopped evolving?
Personally, I prefer to think of classic rock as a radio format rather than a genre, because it doesn’t really behave like a normal genre. If I start a band that sounds like metal then my band is metal, but if I start a band that sounds like classic rock it’s still not classic rock? Why? That feels out of the spirit of music genres to me. There are music movements that are tied to a specific time period—my band could never be part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal—but it could be in the same genre as those bands.
In terms of music style, how are AC/DC and Billy Joel considered the same genre? They’re wildly different. The Who and The Doors? Very different.
The reason those bands are considered classic rock is not because they sound similar, it’s because they target similar audiences. As a radio format, it makes way more sense why some bands are considered classic rock and some aren’t.
Cocaine and meth are schedule 2 and ketamine is schedule 3, but when I went through DARE they still got lumped in with all the schedule 1 drugs.
I’ve had Tabasco flavored ice cream before. I was not a fan.
So I can have 12 cats if I have -8 dogs?

I remember liking the Star Trek: The Next Generation LCD handheld game. Was it good? No, probably not. Definitely not by today’s standards. But in a pre-Gameboy era, the bar for handheld games was pretty low.
It’s contextual. If it’s used in a phone number, it’s a pound sign. If it’s placed before a number, it’s a number sign. If it’s placed before a tag, it’s a hash/hashmark/hashtag.
No one would pronounce “#foo” as “pound foo” any more than they’d call a #2 pencil a “pound two pencil”. Because “pound” is clearly not the right name in either context.
Americans have been comfortable using different names for the symbol in different contexts since long before hashtags even existed. So when websites started using them and referred to them as “hashtags”, that was fine. It was a new context so it could use whichever name it wanted. (Well, “octothorpe-tag” is probably far too unwieldy to catch on.)
Of course if we’re talking about the symbol without a specific context, then we have to pick one of the names. For most Americans, that “default” name is probably still “pound”. Twenty years ago I’d definitely say that, but even then it wasn’t ubiquitous. It wasn’t uncommon to hear it referred to as a hash. And it seems like the use of “pound” has declined and the use of hash has increased as people now spend more time online and less time dialing phone numbers. There’s also a generational divide with older people more likely to say “pound” and younger people more likely to say “hash”.
