Good deal. You said check on things during...like what? It'll be dark out, and I imagine our power will likely go out sometime before 5pm today. With landfall looking like between 7-9pm. We're drugging the dogs and then likely going to just huddle together for a few hours until it passes.

Were they direct hits though? That's what my wife keeps saying about locals how they've been through hurricanes before. There's a difference between getting hit and being 50 miles down the coast where you get minor tropical winds. Like, we "went through" Frances and Ike in 2004 in Siesta Key...

We're between Pensacola Bay and the Santa Rosa Sound. Probably 1-2 miles inland from both. We're basically dead center on the cone. I wasn't super worried about the water. We're high enough that storm surge won't be a big deal, however, now we're forecast for anywhere between 8-15 inches of...

Kind of regretting our decision to stay. Too late to leave now though. On the plus side most of our neighbors are staying as well. But we're getting the eye almost guaranteed at this point, and it's looking like high cat 2 to low cat 3 at landfall. Guess we'll find out how well this house is...

I'm not sure where we'll end up in relation to the storm. The "human" models all have it hitting near Mobile Bay. The AI all have it smacking right into us (Gulf Breeze). Wife and I are both really not looking forward to a night of it sounding like our house is trying to kill us.

Well, scratch all that. This morning we decided to stay put. I was concerned that if we left, getting back would be a nightmare. And we'd be trading hurricane winds for very high tornado possibilities wherever we went. Plus, with how fast this thing is moving, it looks like we basically just...

That might be one of the best examples of their bizarre fetish with recreating 90's MMO friction. It literally adds nothing to the game. It's a relic from an era where you didn't really have "graphics." But let's include it because games 25-30 years ago did? I dunno man, why not...put a fucking...

We were going to wait until tomorrow morning to see how it went, but I think we're just going to go ahead and bounce. Seems like it's going to go right up our buttholes. Even if we don't get a direct hit, we're basically dead center of all these cones so we'll get walloped pretty hard. Seems...

Well, we had a good run this year. Up until the first week of October without a hurricane. Looks like we're about to get blasted by this one, with it tracking directly at us right now. Not looking forward to it. We've escaped any storms since we lived here (had some tropical storms the first...

Granted I haven't played in over a year, but that oasis pirate(?) camp in the zone north of NH would drop silver coin things and cracked staves which both sold for the same amount. But yeah, that was alpha. No clue if that's still a thing. Glad people are enjoying it. Game just really wasn't...

This thread has been absolutely dead lately. I guess that'll happen thought when it trades sideways for months at a time though.

Wasn't she in that other Marvel movie that absolutely bombed? Why would this be different?

The wild part is how accurately the meme encapsulates a time period, without mentioning it, where people who didn't live through it will have absolutely no clue what it means. It might be one of the most ingenious memes I've ever seen.

Didn't take 5 minutes to load all those images. Immersion broken.
