CMLVI

You don’t need a law. The US has codified protected classes through quite a bit of different areas like housing, employment, and education; they are race, religion, sex (and factors such as pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity (but who knows with this one), national origin, age (if over 40), and disability/genetic condition. If it isn’t one of those things, then selecting employees based on other traits is not discrimination in the legal sense. You can absolutely bring suit against the employer, but you are the one fighting the uphill battle arguing why unwed non-virgin should be a protected class. It’s also an incredibly hard thing to pursue, because the employee must prove that is why they were fired and that alone, while the employer can just say “that and they didn’t fit values/they were late/I don’t like their voice”. Employees don’t often win.

The employee who was fired while pregnant may well have some case, because they basically admit it’s due to the pregnancy, but who knows where it lands in court because the pregnancy is used as proof of other supposed rule violations.

Yeah, we’re not starting off on a solid foundation, for sure

Concord didn’t last long enough for anyone to notice anything lol

I mean, we’re all rational here, I assume, so that would be a pretty big stretch to say it was shoved down your throat. If you wouldn’t feel threatened by a dude at the store saying you looked cute, then I don’t think BG3 is any worse. The women throw themselves at you equally as quickly as the men, if not more so. Lazel seems like she hates you, and then by like Day 2 is like “well, we may as well smash, you do well with a sword and that’s what counts”.

What games in the same vein as KCD2 have shoved hat relationships down players throats?? What would they even be referencing as the “woke” games?

Imagine finding a way to piss off everyone simply by opening your stupid mouth…lol

I did “haha” up until somewhat recently. I started using lol sarcastically, and it quickly bled over into the haha usage. I can’t break the habit either…

I do tend to ignore the flat bottoms of both KY and VA, I’m thinking more of the “divot” before the meaty part of the leg occurs being more prominent in VA, whereas KY is a uniform-ish slope.

Maybe a 1a and 1b situation for “States shaped like poultry” ranking lol

I feel like that’s what enhances it? Lol I think of a chicken leg as like…skinny bone with a bulb on the end, and VA has more of that imo. KY ends up being more like a uniform line until it gets to the think part. 🍗 shape. I also just mean I’m reference to the shape itself, not as a memory tool. I’m from WV so I loooove the void we left in VA lol

Virginia has a similar shape tho, if not more chicken-like because it’s larger on the meaty portion

One of the few games I enjoy buying on multiple platforms.

I looked it up, it’s optional. What I was remembering was from online racing where it’s just off regardless. But, another option for OP to change how he wants!

I’d say you’d be more likely to enjoy it than not. Obviously racing is a big part of it, but exploration is another, and it usually does a decent job of that. It’s a little hamstrung because you have a GPS, so you know where all the roads are, but they usually tuck some stuff away and have some things to find and collect, if it isn’t just a little over done (I think Horizon 5 had you breaking signs to get followers, and there were like almost 300 signs?). They’ve had some car unlocks hidden as well, but you get pointed to the area and it’s pretty hard not to find them. But it gives you plenty of visuals to look at, usually some decent music, and a good variety of driving activities.

Story is usually a little rough, because the premise railroads you on every game. You’re usually a festival goer in-universe with a “normal” car and you work your way into better cars by winning events and such. Not much else to it, and how else do you get the progression to better cars?

One of the aspects you may enjoy, especially if you’re artistic, is designing car liveries and staging photo shoots and such. I haven’t done in-depth liveries since Forza Motorsport 4, and I think people have found ways to basically import images to the car, but doesn’t mean you have to.

Controls are going to be basically bog-standard car controls, and controller is perfectly fine for Horizon or any Forza game, really. I’ve put, pretty easily, probably 2k hours into various Forza games, all on controller.

I’d say it is not Sim racing. It’s not Mario Kart, you do have to brake and understand a little bit about racing, but the AI is usually pretty forgiving and adjustable as you see fit, and also usually has some built in slow-downs to keep things close. Fits somewhere on the sim side of the scale, but it’s definitely not difficult racing by any means; car damage I don’t think exists outside cosmetically, and you can ram AI cars all day without much penalty.

Slow down just a little there

Will do!

More like noted to check out further, but it looks promising! Big question is functionality with Android Auto, which if it’s just a website, would be unlikely, but still good to have for home use! It has new releases I’d be looking for on it already too, one album literally came out yesterday and it’s on there.

👀

I’ll be honest, it could be recorded through a tin can and I probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference lol. As long as it shows me new songs every now and then, and gives me varied radio playlists, I’m happy.

Interesting. I’m fine if I gotta scroll a bit, I usually set it up before I leave. I’ll give it a look!

Nooooooted. Hell yeah

I do as well, and that’ll be the hardest thing to lose, if I can’t find a good equivalent. Cause I have to swap back and forth from Android Auto to the BT player otherwise, and that suuuuuucks.
