Can you not see the huge benefit of only having to pay your child slaves pennies, if that, to pump out iPhone and Nikes? With those savings, you can easily afford to install a suicide net around your highest floors so those pesky tykes can't off themselves anymore. You're making money coming and going.
Edit: /s Just in case it's not clear to some.
Down to the beach I'm strollin'
Definitely my first. I watched Harriet the Spy so many times. RIP
I'm liking it. I'm big on exploration, and I hate when games have difficult but reachable places, but when you get there, there's nothing. That is not the case with Avowed. Just about every hard to reach place I've managed to BS my way to has had something. It's usually just money and some mats, but occasionally I've found some unique equipment or accessories.
Combat is just a slightly better Skyrim combat but with a dodge. I will say the dodge has fucked me multiple times because it's just the jump button, but if you press any direction other than forward when you press it, you dodge in that direction. So no jumping sideways or backwards. I've accidentally dashed to my death off a cliff more than a few times.
I personally don't think the story and characters are as bad as everyone is saying, but I'm easy to please. It doesn't seem any worse than Skyrim story-wise. I like that the companions actually have personalities and banter with each other. They feel more like Dragon Age or Mass Effect companions, granted not nearly as deep. But I've already laughed several times from their ambient camp banter, and I only have two companions and less than 15 hours of play time.
The beginning tutorial area is weak, and character creation wasn't very good. I honestly expected to quit after my first short 2ish hour session, but when I finally got set loose in the first real area and started exploring and climbing around on rooftops and finding underwater caves, and finding loot left and right, I got hooked.
I'm sitting on the ivory coast, eating vermillion snapper. War is all I think about.
I got a paddling for calling a student teacher "Mr. Ummmm... Dude" bc I couldn't think of his name. The actual teacher said that was the equivalent of him calling me an asshole.
Also
I got suspended because we were selling cookbooks for some event and I didn't pay attention to the price. I asked someone before I left for the day and they lied and told me double the price. It was 5 he said 10. I learned from a friend that I was told wrong the next day after it came up I sold my mom's bf one for 10. Principal overheard and I got suspended for 3 days. The art teacher that was in charge of the event told me I "disgusted her" and to get out of her sight.
I could probably go on. School was dumb.
Either that or they were brought to places where they didn't have predators. Either way, it's definitely our fault. We love fucking up natural habits.
I am anti gun in almost every way, but I know where I live, deer populations get out of control. I've never hunted, nor do I have any desire to, but the fact is that if we didn't cull the deer population periodically, they would breed themselves into starvation and cause who knows what kinds of damage to themselves and their ecosystem.
As unfortunate as it is, it's a thing that has to be done for their own good and for the good of this area. I'm sure it's like that in lots of places with lots of different species.
This right here. Only downside is I have gotten distracted and forgot to go get my food without the beeping to summon me, but overall it's definitely been a net positive.
By that logic, no inanimate objects should show up either. I'd look in a mirror and would see behind me through the back wall and all the way to my neighbors inside their now invisible soulless house, and all neighbors beyond. It'd just be a bunch of people at various distances in my mirror line of sight in an infinite void behind me as far as the eye can see. And we'd all appear naked.
I came to say this. Holy hell it's brutal.
She was a perfect female version of David Tennant's Doctor. The writing was just bad. She was spot on.
