Yeah but who remembers Duckula?

I definitely think this update is taking the game in a better direction.

The Toughness changes are kind of bonkers. I play Veteran exclusively, and prior to this update, taking a hit from a melee enemy on Heresy or Damnation would be like, 20% of your toughness bar easily. Even from a lowly infested. You were on average 3 to 4 hits from getting downed.

Now, I've had guys hit me multiple times and my toughness barely moves on Heresy. The only things that shred my toughness are fire and heavy weapons.

So games are humming along nicely then a flamer gets in the mix and everything goes to shit immediately, everyone starts panicking because they're taking actual damage.

But I like it. It's both fulfilling the power fantasy while keeping the tension up as soon as people start taking health damage. Especially because they took half the medicae stations out of maps. Now you're starting to feel a little sweat when the entire team is down 50% HP and you know there's probably 0 to 1 more medicae stations before the finale.

All in all, it's good. I'm not completely impressed with the Veteran skill tree but there is some cool stuff in there. Nothing quite as bombastic as the Ogryn Tactical Pocket Nuke though. That said it is super satisfying to smoke 3 Armored Ogryns and a couple Maulers with a single Krak grenade. Between those and my beloved Plasma Gun, elites, unyieldings and bosses get absolutely fucking wrecked.

The only prop Gaetz should get is the one attached to an airplane. Preferably spinning at max RPM. Fuck that piece of shit. A Class I Groomer in the party that is making political hay out of grooming.

Consider the designer drug argument.

Legislators can only make a specific chemical compound illegal. If you swap out a few ingredients, you have a new drug that has to be specifically legislated against to control.

What if AI art becomes the same? Is it a SM? We know them by their pauldrons and the Aquila. What if an AI changes both sufficiently that it can be argued it's no longer GWS classic Space Marine look but something different?

But don't try to Catfish responses either.

You have every right to calmly explain that your feelings have been hurt. That is not "fucking up", that is communicating with your partner.

If she can't accept that without getting defensive and deflecting, that is not your fault. If teasing and put downs aren't something you appreciate and you've said that, then she either respects your feelings on that matter or she doesn't.

Never feel guilty about saying how you feel, as long as you've said it with calmly and with respect. You have every right to draw boundaries and being mocked for her own amusement is absolutely a reasonable one.

This is 2023. Don't let someone emotionally abuse you then use tears to turn it back around on you.

Anyone else think it's hilarious that McCarthy, who came across as a smooth operator during the previous debt crisis, is less competent than Mitch McConnell, who randomly shuts down?

Lesson in manhood: Be Mitch, not McCarthy.

I don't think he ever came across as a smooth operator. Inside, or outside, his own party.

Nah. The Warriors is still good. It's got so much style it's hard for it age poorly.

Although the gender relations bits in the movie haven't aged as well......
