So here's the deal.
Dark souls remastered is fucking insulting.
not only did they kill the entire DS1 playerbase by removing the original game from Steam, they forced people who already had the game to buy it if they wanted the "remastered" edition. Which was just a shitty vis-mod with a 60 FPS patch!
Did you know who DIDN'T charge customers for a game they already head? FUCKING BETHESDA!The biggest slap in the face? The PC DS1 port was so shitty that a 60fps fix was implemented by a modder 27 minutes after it released.
And then Fromsoft tried to sue that guy. With very little success.
This is when I basically gave up on Fromsoft.
The first problem was when they started balancing items around PvP, instead of just giving them separate PvP stats. I have a TON of critiques but don't feel like penning them all right now. The above video is a good one.

So I got back on this game after my collarbone break and have started putting together a Faith build.
And I gotta say, I am enjoying it so far.

That's fucking insanity.
That dealership was laughing all the way to the bank on that trade.
Bet they gave him blue-book on it, so "well, it's only worth $1500.00 sir".
I bet the wife said, "Honey, your old car isn't safe and can't have a baby seat in it. We can't use this as a family vehicle!"
That's how I got my tacoma...

Help me out here. I trained years ago as IDPA Safety Officer and then as NRA Certified Safety Officer and then NRA Instructor who did the Home Firearm Safety Course module. Maybe I missed that part of the training in all those instances, but I do not seem to recall the part where you get to grab a gun by the muzzle! Holy fucking instructional chicanery, Batman!
But wait, there is more. Did you notice the Powerpoint presentation with the Gun Safety Rules?

If you pay a bit of attention to the small print, you will discover something funny.
Are they using info retrieved from the National Sports Shooting Foundation, an organization they vilified so much for selling “evil assault rifles” that only the NRA is higher in the list of venomous propaganda?
I should be mad (and I am a bit) but it also is great proof that Moms Demand, as much as they call themselves a “Gun Safety Organization” have not created anything substantial other than buying legislators to push Gun Control and if they are pushed into providing actual teaching classes on Gun Safety, they must rely on “the enemy.”
And still, they screw it up.

Ten years from now brexit will be remembered as a great idea.

They had to bend the bolt handle. That's expensive.

I couldn't buy pistol ammo till I was 21 in Texas.
So I bought a press and all the components and I made my own ammo.
Laws suck.

And naturally no movie theaters near me are showing it.
Might be time to test my download rate!
Don't know if it's pirate-able yet. But if it is, check it out.
I'll be curious to see how much money it makes. It was a seriously good doc. My wife and her friend were on edge the for 100 minutes straight.
More thrills in this movie than any horror movie ever.

A relative who worked for Ford as a "contractor" mentioned that there was scuttlebutt about "looking into no longer "selling" a vehicle", instead you buy a "seat", allowing you to operate it for a length of time, similar to a lease, but the vehicle is constantly on the net.
He asked what I thought about it. I said " I'd be looking hard at finding a Dodge WC series truck, and converting it to 12 volts".
John Deer said that a few years ago. Lemme find the article.

The US taxpayer being shafted for $11 billion was TOTALLY worth it for this
Chevrolet spokesperson clarified that the Silverado did not actually "break down" per se. According to the company rep, the Silverado's driver had to turn off the engine while the truck was stationary at the blue line—understandable, since running a hot, internally combusted V-8 in one place, over ice for too long probably isn't ideal. When the truck was restarted, the driver then accidentally accepted a software update, rendering it immobile for the next several minutes. Once the update was done, the Silverado drove off the ice problem-free.
Why was it even connected to anything during an event?

This isn't new news, or really hard hitting news, but for Americans my age who watched TV, it's pretty weird.
I thought this was just some bullshit meme shit.
But nope. He's got permanent memory loss.
QuoteFrankie Muniz got his first concussion at age 7 while playing goalie in a soccer game.
The next one came when he tripped and fell on his head during basketball. Two more occurred during pee-wee football around 7th grade, and he’s not sure when the rest followed — though he does recall getting a few while racing cars in his early 20s after starring on Malcolm in the Middle.
All told, Muniz has suffered from nine concussions — a revelation he made during Monday’s episode of Dancing With the Stars. But his shocking admission, which also included his matter-of-fact pronouncement that he doesn’t remember starring in the popular Fox sitcom, only grazed the surface. In a candid interview with EW after Monday’s show, Muniz said he’s been in and out of ERs and doctors offices after suffering from “at least” 15 transient ischemic attacks (or TIAs), otherwise known as mini-strokes that involve a temporary clot or blockage in the brain.
His first one hit in 2012 when he was riding his motorcycle. He lost his peripheral vision but miraculously made it home alive, though he barely recognized his then girlfriend and mom. He couldn’t understand what they were trying to say.
He went to an ER, but answers were scarce. And they would remain that way.
“By that point, I already had nine concussions,” recalls Muniz. “But concussions don’t usually correlate with TIAs. The doctors did every test. A lot of times with TIAs, there’s a small hole in heart that causes it. Clots go to the brain and you have a mini-stroke. I don’t have that hole.”
In fact, Muniz says, he’s always been a healthy guy. “I’m 31, I’ve never sipped alcohol, I’ve never touched a drug or taken a drag of a cigarette. The only thing I’ve felt was stress. I’m a high-strung person. I just like to always be moving. I’m not good at relaxing.”
Muniz says he gave up trying to get answers, particularly because it hasn’t hindered his zest to try new things. After Malcolm ended in 2006, he raced cars professionally for several years before changing direction and playing drums in two different rock bands. He now manages one in his spare time and hopes to return to acting.
“It’s not something I think about. I don’t go, ‘Oh man I’m really scared, I really need to know,'” Muniz says of the TIAs. “I just move forward.”
He’s equally as nonchalant about his lack of memory, like how he doesn’t remember the feeling of receiving his first Emmy nomination in 2001 for his work on Malcolm. In fact, that’s the moment that DWTS wanted to focus on Monday as part of its “Most Memorable Year” theme. But Muniz was unable to play alongsince he doesn’t remember much from those six years on the sitcom, much less getting a nomination for the show.

Looks like a Danish girl got raped and beheaded on camera while visiting a traditionally Muslim country.
I won't post the link. Look it up if you're a sicko.
