How in the fuck is the x files not on it. You're going to look me in the face and say lost is better than the x files.

"Sorry, I just love cliffhangers that have no purpose other than to add commercial breaks and then not actually pay off."

You're going to tell me friends, the show that wrote the book for basic ass misunderstanding sitcoms is better than the x files.

I better just have missed it, or this world really is fucked.

Also what about ER? And SVU? Just the Robin Williams episode alone should be at like #14.

And wasn't MASH the most watched show ever at one point?

At least Chernobyl is right where it belongs.

I picked up a few folding tables from a clearance website on a whim for my workshop. They were from a company called Origami, and were like 9$. I figured if they were crap I could reuse the tops and practice welding on the steel frames.

Turned out to be one of the best purchases I've made. They fold flat and come apart, and the surprisingly thick steel frames lock into place with latches and don't wobble at all.

I'll see if I can track down a link for one.

Edit : this was the model I got. Looks like it's not available through amazon, which I try not to support anyway, but this is the desk for reference https://www.amazon.com/Origami-RDF-01-Folding-Computer-Black/dp/B07K2S57P7

Before all this fascist crap I was excited at the idea of buying the silliest utility vehicle ever made. Too bad they're not only evil, they're not even utilitarian.

Oh well.

Get handy. Fix things before they go bad, and learn basic construction on the way. Second hand tools are cheap, and there's a number of good youtubers to help in any situation. After you get your bearings, it turns into a fun way to make the place into what you want it to be. Nothing is terribly difficult, and materials can be had cheap if you're not in an emergency. Facebook marketplace allowed me to build a house for 70k over two years, and it's valued at 350k, and not finished yet. The experience gained led me to doing odd side jobs and reselling unused materials to keep paying for new additions. If you can replace your own water heater, you can replace someone elses for half the price of Lowes and still take home 700$ for three hours work. Pick up some resold tile and put in a bathroom wall. You'll find out what you did wrong in your own bathroom and won't mess up someone elses for some extra cash in a pinch.

Electrical work is my favorite. Know the code, and how to stay safe, and it's a lot of fun that the average person is HORRIFIED of. Get a good electricians multitool, a current tester, a drill and some tape, and you can perform miracles.

Most people will never afford a house. You don't have to fix it, you get to fix it, so take pride and make it somewhere you love to live.

A response would be defensive action. This is specified as OFFENSIVE action, which we shouldn't be taking unless we are at war.

Wait, why were we taking offensive actions?

Far cry 5 gives the opposite experience. You get railroaded into missions, but can do whatever you want to during them.

While getting pushed into missions is a bit irritating, the open gameplay and drop in co op made it one of the most fun games out there. Finding ways to break missions with my friends turned into the real objective of the game.

One portion, you have to scale a mountain while dodging sniper fire to kill a cult leader at the top, and I spent 15 minutes slowly making my way up to him. As I finally get to the top, before I could make the kill, a friend dropped in and crashed a fighter jet into him, completing the mission.

Seems like a solid place for me to plug Deadbolt to anyone that hasn't played it. It's made by the risk of rain guys with Chris christodoulou making another iconic soundtrack.

It plays a bit like if hotline Miami was a stealth sidescroller, using fluid motion to get in, kill the enemies, and get out as quickly and smoothly ad possible.

Everyone should give it a try, it's one I consistently ignore new games for.

One of the best games out there. RoR 2 and RoR Returns are both stellar as well.

The soundtrack is phenomenal.

The game seems way too hard at first, but once you get into the flow it's incredibly satisfying.
