Love the expression of the guy on the left. Probably describes everything you need to know about the encounter.

Good news

Still concerning as "viability" moves up with medical advances.

Natural consequence of 1) google being shit, and 2) "looking something up" and similar phrases automatically meaning the internet. No one is going to assume the library anymore.

Very similar to what I was going to say.

One more I'd add is being honest with others. If I'm not writing it down or it isn't set as a reminder on my phone chances are very low it'll happen.

Web search used to be about scraping the web to find and present other people's work as just that... their work. Now the handful of websites claim ownership of the contributions of everyone, and at this point it's just corporations arguing about who owns your stuff. Pirates will not win out in this argument, except maybe in the very short term.

I'm not sure I'd buy a phone with a permanently etched message/advertisement from the manufacturer to other people.

Oh, that's great, I think you've got to be almost there then!

Something else you can start adding is holding at the top then lowering down with as much control as possible, and pausing every inch or so. You can also work on shifting weight from one arm to the other between each pause (e.g. lower an inch with as much weight as you can on the left then pause for a second to shift as much as you can to the right and lower another inch).

One thing that I think helps is just hanging. Gets you used to carrying your bodyweight in a way that assisted doesn't. What you're doing will still help with full range of motion, but maybe at the end just hang as long as you can. At some point you can also add this at the top (e.g. hop up to bar to chin and hold as long as possible)

As you said there are people who don't want to switch from Chrome and Google, but at this point if you're talking about a ten step fix-it plan, is really does make more sense to just use Firefox and DDG. Or searx, I'm pretty sure that's still fewer steps.

He doesn't know who his opponent is, but he hates them.

Both are great games, with 1 being a little rough around the edges but still very playable. The gameplay is different enough that it's worth playing them both imo. Story might be better if you play 1 first, but I played through 2 first, then went back later to play 1 and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

I probably vehemently disagree with some recommendations to play BG 1 and 2 btw, your mileage may vary. It requires very specific builds and knowledge of DnD, or lots of trial and error. You can easily build a well rounded group and find yourself unable to progress because of lacking one very specific thing. If that doesn't sound to annoying, it might be worth a shot. If nothing else, rolling characters is fun.

I didn't see these in the list:

Wyldermyth - indie fairly unique story building campaign with turn based tactical combat.

Wastelands 3 - post apocalyptic RPG with good story, choices, and characters. Great tactical turn based combat. Other than the other Larian games this is closest to filling the BG 3 shaped hole.

Halo Master Chief Collection; 1 - 3, Reach, and ODST are amazing co-op. We've played through all of them multiple times. 4 is... disappointing.
