  • I’ve seen the more sexual tense awkward cut scenes and theories, but watching Leon I never attributed it more than “a young girl going through puberty forced to age quickly, see her family killed, find a confidant and established a bond she’s confusing her attachment with.” in the movie I watched Leon nips that sexual relationship thread in the bud. I’ve seen the alternatives where he does allow it but I thought that was just disturbed fan theories.





  • Perfect. Finally. I understand needing two copies of the game to play online (one game code per user). But local split screen shouldn’t be that way and neither should playing seperate games force me into individual play sessions. Each game code should have capacity to run an individual account. Not one account to each owned game.

    This has been my gripe with steam and purchased digital games vs physical games since it’s concept. It felt like I was renting play sessions with my ID license rather than owning the games I paid for.

    What is this. Because I’m pretty upset that the games I paid for can’t be played on different pc’s. My daughter wants to pay stardew valley while I’m online with family on satisfactory. I have to take the other pc and go into offline mode. This wasn’t the solution. Even with adding members I didn’t think I did it right. So does this fix it? Can my family member log into stardew online with her cousin while I’m on another lan game?

    Thank you for the replies. I appreciate it a lot. You got me thinking hard on coffee now. I’m not sure why I used two filters. Maybe to stop it from flowing over the edges of the drip machine. But now that I think of it, why not use a pour over method? I looked up that hand grinder and see the pour over equipment bought frequently with it.

    I might have to try that with the water. But my water is very palatable. I live near Seattle, and my water dispenser is filtered through an insinkerator dispenser, which also does my boiling water.

    Oooo, I just use ground beans and toss them on two filters and run the coffee pot. My water is kinda hard, we have an espresso machine (breville batista touch) that had us do a water test with our filtered water. If I’m doing espresso we try to do local seller beans from Fred Meyers.

    I don’t mind espresso, but an Americano just tastes like coffee that’s been watered down, or too bitter which I don’t mind. But just a drip has been a better taste for me. I’m not extremely picky but I would love to get a better taste because I’ve definitely noticed the difference in coffee beans.

    BTW I drink my coffee straight. No cream no sugar most times. And I love it iced.

    I see you really like coffee lol. I like coffee too. But my interest stopped at “drip this and refrigerate it, add ice in the morning”. No sugar. But I am not particular about coffee taste, as long as it isn’t sour.

    Hmm but now that I’ve got your attention, what would you recommend to upgrade the palatability of my cold brew?

    I was thinking the same thing, sport related hobbies. Because I dabbled in snowboarding as a youth and spent around $400 on my board and gear. My coat was $100. I spent way too much on a sport that I knew after 2 seasons that I didn’t want to do it anymore. I could’ve spent more but I’m glad I spent just enough to have good gear to get the good honest attempt to get into it but not enough to have a garage full of boards.

    I bought the Bambu P1S 3d printer. I’ve never 3d printed and knew very little except for the dozen or so YouTube videos recommending it and how to use it, learned about filaments and everything else I now know I learned on the way.

    I could have gotten one of a dozen <$500 3D printers. But would that just leave me wanting in the future? Will I be stuck with a cheaper tool after learning and experiencing the ceiling of it?

    I see this mentality working on people who aren’t interested in a hobby enough to justify a large purchase, people just trying out and see if they’re interested kinda thing. But what if the subpar gear turns the person off from their poor experience?



  • I think there’s more in the second panel for me. The conversation can continue and I’m still battling trying to retcon my introduction somehow because who tf says howdy. It derails my focus for the next minute of conversation. But I’m also paying attention so everything added to the conversation is piled on top of that and how I respond next needs to fit the flow of conversation and if I want to fix the weirdness of how I introduced myself…
