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

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?

"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.

American football fans probably remember the crazy wildcard playoff game between the Colts and Chiefs during the 2013 season's playoffs. The Chiefs built up a big lead, but Andrew Luck led the Colts to an insane comeback victory.

I am a Chiefs fan. At the time, the Chiefs had not won a playoff game since 1993. After a devastating 2012 season, the team cleaned house and brought in a new regime, led by Andy Reid. It worked well and the Chiefs had one of the biggest record improvements year-to-year in NFL history. My optimism was at an all time high. This was the year the playoff curse would end.

I spent the week leading up to the game just absorbed in the hype, reading, listening, and watching every bit of analysis I could find.

When the game finally ended, I was absolutely devastated. It's probably the hardest I've ever taken a loss as a fan.

...and then, I started getting targeted ads for Colts merch, including a cardboard Andrew Luck mask (which was just a cutout of his face with the eyes cut out stuck to a popsicle stick.) Everywhere I went on the internet, I was haunted by a grinning, eyeless, Andrew Luck reminding me that the Chiefs would never win a playoff game. This went on for several weeks.

Richard Belzer played the character John Munch first in Homicide: Life on the Street and then in Law and Order: SVU. Through various crossovers and cameos, the character John Munch has appeared in 10 television shows, from Arrested Development to the X-Files.

To add to that, Homicide had a crossover episode with a show called St. Elsewhere. St. Elsewhere's series finale implied that the entire series had been a fantasy taking place in the mind of a boy with autism named Tommy Westphall.

So with all that in mind, we can extrapolate that...

St. Elsewhere Homicide Every version of Law and Order The Wire Arrested Development Sesame Street The X-Files American Dad

...plus more all take place in the same universe and that universe is contained in a neurodivergent boy's head.
