These apparently have Ad leaderboards. If they follow other similar platforms, the charging will be free.

Have to give lies of P lots of credit for adding "adjust anytime" difficulty settings. Most souls-likes wont budge here with difficulty settings at all, likely due to the rabid fan pushback, but this was a huge plus to me.

As someone who dislikes the punishing "fail for 3hrs over and over again" genre mechanics but likes everything else about the game, it went from a "no thanks" to "buyable" with that change.

Source electrek article without USA todays right wing "charging is just too hard!" slant.

Yeah, they flanderized him so hard he immediately lost all of his history and impact on the ship. Suddenly hes the "smelly food clown" guy.

Motherfucker was a key navigator, negotiator, guide and scavenger. He is the main reason Voyager survived its first years at all, but they did him so dirty everyone hated him throughout the show.

Just "slip off" and complain of back pain. Soft tissue damage does not show up on xrays.

The only reason it's being pitched here is that literal billionaires want mass transit to stay on top of 405 and not cross their eyeline. They also have an issue with elevated rail, and I'm not kidding here, bored tunnels deep under their mansions. They hate all transit of any type being near their fancy enclaves.

Luckily, it looks like the monorail options cost more than heavy rail, have 50% the ridership, take 30% longer on an end to end trip, have much worse stations that dump passengers off on literal highway onramps, and likely move so little people they wont qualify for federal grants anyway. Those options are probably dead, billionares be damned.

Well good news there then. LA and the rest of the valley have a huge amount of transit plans moving forward. This video covers it really well.

The same youtuber has a great video breaking down the above project as well. He recommends alt 4. Huge ridership, fast trip, modern stations that tie into current networks well and the best cost/rider ratio. Average trip time is under 20 min end to end, which beats a car even if the rode was impossibly empty.

Wormhole X-treme being the crown jewel of self mockery here. It was a recurring joke and even plot relevant.

Blood, trash and Tarantino? "From dusk to dawn" called, and it wants to fuck pulp fictions feet.

It's abjectly insane, but it does lean in if that's what you're looking for. Everything is whole ass, that's for sure.

She basically has 2 visas, with one being valid and one in the "processing" phases of renewal, and they still arrested her and her 6 year old son, who had a valid visa, and held them for nearly a month until it hit international news.

They threw her and her child into a Texas prison, yes prison, over a minor issue with paperwork on a secondary visa while coming home to Washington from Canada. That is not justifiable.

Here's another! When a word is the opposite of another, it's called an antonym.
