Pick lots of ballise fruit in White Orchard. It is tougher to find later on.

The Kingdom of Loathing guys (Jick and Mr Skullhead) had a development approach to keep their game system balanced. They felt that players had different primary motivations/enjoyment in the game and they wanted to make sure there was something for everyone. They divided players into four groups: Hearts, Clubs, Spades, and Diamonds.

Hearts enjoyed the social aspects of the game and would use the chat system and clans extensively.

Clubs were the PvP crowd and weren’t happy unless there were meaningful opportunities to battle other players.

Spades are explorers and look to every nook and cranny of the environment, and are interested in underlying game mechanics (this is me).

Diamonds are collectors and completists. They will scour environments to ensure they got everything and do all the sides because they want all the stuff.

Just bewilderment. Because snubbing Harris will get you Trump. Who’s a great friend to Gaza /s. So cui bono?

мне or OP?

да, брат! продолжай в том же духе!

молодец, товарищ! демократы будут сбиты с толку твоей умной метафорой!

I went with Ryobi under the rubric of “if you use it enough to break it then buy a good one”. I have a wall of green tools because most of them are used only occasionally. My hammer drill is the one that is gonna go. And yeah. I will buy something f’in awesome. Because using an underpowered hammer drill sucked.

Be prepared for endless mockery no matter which direction you go. Best of luck sir.

A lot places didn’t. My family comes from a rural location and there were places without telephone service in the 70s.

By number 3 there were extended scenes. No penis or vulva.

Tell me you’ve never played a Witcher game using a whole paragraph.

Please please please let it be Lambert and Keira Metz squabbling all over the continent as they track something stupid.

If I recall I don’t think barrels and balls were precision machined so there would always be “windage” or some sort of gap between the ball and barrel. So not only the timings as you identify, but also differences in force between the balls due to windage and charge.
