I visited Buffalo in March on the tail-end of our Niagara Falls trip on the CA said (and went to a Sabres game and some great bars/restaurants). I really loved the feel of the neighborhoods around the city there. We live in St. Louis, in a similarly old house to what we saw in Buffalo (ours was built in 1906, they're all brick here though). As you pointed out, there are houses on tree-lined streets here as well, and I'm within a mile's walk of 5 or 6 large parks that often host free concerts and other events, I can walk to a fair amount of bars and restaurants, and plenty of other things. The only real thing holding it back where I live is how car-centric the construction has been. I could walk to the Soulard district easily (less than a mile) but in order to do so, I have to cross a 5-lane road called Gravois, which has bad visibility in both directions, and people tend to run red lights there often. There's no protected pedestrian crossing and people get killed there every year by cars, so we usually just drive over there. The city is finally working on walk-ability and public transpo by extending the Metrolink commuter rail to go north/south, and by adding a protected bike lane on one of the main thoroughfares (Jefferson). We're also seeing the construction of a lot more mixed use buildings (apartments on the upper levels, retail on the ground floor) and that has been a very welcome addition. I feel like we moved from the suburbs to the city at exactly the right time, as there's additional (booming) growth in Midtown and Downtown West thanks to the addition of our MLS team and all the land they've revitalized, which has in turn attracted development to a previously fairly barren area.

The only games I'll bother keeping installed that are over 100gb are my ESO with all the addons on PC, and Star Wars Battlefront II on PS5, and only because my friends and I play co-op every Friday night. But it's still ludicrous. My most played game recently, Battlebit Remastered, is a whopping 3 GB lol.

I was going to install CoD: Cold War from PS+ on my PS5 since I wanted to check out the campaign but I'd never buy it. Fuckin 230 GB for that shit. I lol'd a bit and moved on to something else. So ridiculous.

The even weirder thing was this coworker quit his job a week after the wedding.

That's a fucking travesty.

We use UPS. I would have had to use USPS, which is the United States Postal Service. They're a LOT slower. Plus my local post office is always crowded and it takes forever.

I just read the NYT article on my phone and this seems like an exceptional win for the workers. The small business I work at uses UPS exclusively because Fedex charges so much for daily pickup so I would have had to run to USPS every day with a car full of packages but I would have gladly done so until the UPS workers got what they needed. It really looks to me, based on what I read in the article, that UPS didn't really push back too much at the end there.

It's Stanford University.

One of the first things I did when joining kbin was start blocking many of the meme communities. It's just not for me. Same reason I deleted my Facebook all those years ago. The ONE exception is LOTRmemes because come on

6/8 ain't bad

Same here. I've had mine for a few weeks and I love it. The battery life is amazing too, I charge it once a week.

I'm still working my way through FFXVI on my PS5 but on PC, Battlebit Remastered has my full attention as a disgruntled former Battlefield player.

Maybe r/offmychest ?

My wife loves AITA even though she's fully aware that most of them are fake. I'm sending this list to her to see if she recognizes any lol

Hmm well it was 430 miles but yes I did drive safely.

I don't have one within 500 miles of me so....done, I guess?

Hmm I don't really have a main. I voted Playstation because that's where MLB/NHL are, but besides that I game on PC and Playstation pretty equally.

Which book? I've never heard of him before today but after reading a few articles I'd like to check out one of his books. Googling sends me quite a few results.

It's not that they're outright difficult, it's all about watching enemy attack patterns and memorizing them. I can do a no-death run of the first Dark Souls game now and I don't even like difficult games, I play every game on easy the first time, but the FromSoft development style pulled me in hard.
