I'm your evil twin in regard to raisins. I like them in savory dishes and salads, but can't stand them in desserts and baked goods.

I DO use Twitch and I don't know what they're talking about.

Helping with maintenance tasks like cleaning the grinder is a good idea, but I wouldn't count on changing your parents' preferences. If you don't enjoy their preferred roast/ratio, just bring some of your own beans and make a separate pot for yourself when you visit. I had a similar situation with my in-laws and that is our solution. I bring my coffee when I visit them and they bring theirs when they visit us and we're all happy.

So much emphasis on this happening "every time" you tell someone to wait in camp. How frequently are people changing their party that this makes the game "borderline unplayable?" Am I a weirdo for sticking with the same group 99% of the time? I've changed a party member a grand total of once in the past like 60 hours of the game. Do others switch on a fight-by-fight basis or something?

Perfect. Thanks. I've found the mausoleum (and had the encounter outside,) but haven't entered yet. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't screwing anything up by working on the Halsin/shadow curse quest line and just exploring the map before visiting Moonrise. I saw people complaining about ruining their playthrough by waiting too long to go to Moonrise and I suddenly got worried that this was a Mass Effect situation and some hidden timer was running on all the prisoners or something.

I'm seeing some conflicting information about Act II out there regarding order of operations. From what I've read, it sounds like I'll get a pop-up warning when I'm about to trigger something that would affect other quests. However, I'm also seeing a lot of people saying that you should just beeline to Moonrise ASAP before doing any side quests. So which is it? Am I free to explore, work on Halsin's stuff, etc. as long as I don't trigger that pop-up? Or is there a timer going as soon as the stuff at Last Light kicks off?

From my understanding, that only happens if you pass the point of no return to enter the mountain pass or if you go to the goblin camp and advance the story there. You can find the Grove and then leave and take as much time as you want to explore before going to the goblin camp and progressing the story.

"Added a journal step for when the tieflings leave the Emerald Grove. The Forging of the Heart quest will also close if Dammon is no longer available in the region."

Does this just mean that the quest log will update to clarify that the next step is later in the game? Or are you just locked out of Karlach's story entirely if you recruit her after Dammon leaves the Grove now? I'm already annoyed that I'm locked out of her romance because I listened to the game and thought resolving the Grove stuff was time-sensitive, so I dove into it right away before meeting Karlach. I was hoping that they would change it so the romance options would trigger even if the first upgrade happens in Act II, but I guess my poor Dwarven cleric is just going to be lonely on this playthrough.

"Low" in this clip is describing social classes and "company" here just means the people someone associates with. He is worried that "polite society" will shun his family because of what he did and they will be forced to associate with people who would be considered lower class, like criminals, to survive.

Not a movie I saw as a child, but the Exorcist affects me a lot more in my late 30s than it did in my teens and 20s. When I was younger, the scary stuff was all surface level (scary voices, levitation, puking, the crucifix scene, etc.) but now I pick up on more character-driven horror elements. At its core, the movie is about a single mother with a demanding and stressful career whose daughter is sick and getting worse while doctors can't help. She becomes so desperate that she pursues an exorcism, despite not even being religious. On top of that, you also have Father Karras desperately trying to save this girl while in the middle of doubting his own faith.

I think those human elements are why the movie is still talked about as one of the scariest of all time. Even if you're not really conscious of it while watching, I think that's why it sticks with people. There's those underlying elements that everyone can relate to providing structural support for the scary little demon girl puking pea soup and throwing down "your mom" jokes.

I'm from Kansas City. For most of my life, a successful Royals season has been defined by simply remaining interesting until Chiefs training camp begins in August. I am more of a football fan, so most years, I just totally abandon baseball as soon as football starts.

Honestly, I don't know how folks in areas with consistently good baseball AND football do it. It was rough in 2014-2015 when the Royals were making the postseason for the first time in my adult life while the Chiefs were starting to build something special with Andy Reid. September and October were just exhausting. But, you know, that's one of those "good problems," so I can't really complain.
