    World of Warcraft: Forever

    So yeah... Now at 18th level on my warrior (duo leveling with @Mrs. Haus on her pally). And as mentioned, Warrior really starts to come into it's own the in the late teens. I can empathize via proxy about mana, on her Pally she's dealing with needing mana breaks more than I think she thought...

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    They need to tune the layering, but it's been OK for me. I'd think they need to turn it down in the capitals and towns, so the cities look massively populated, since there's no resource/spawn contention concerns there. Then turn it to layer more aggressively in open zones so you aren't...

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    So yeah, I'll safely call this smoothest new product/expansion launch I can remember... @Mrs. Haus and I went PvE Alliance (Haus and Bexara). Leveled to around 9. Then fished for a while. Still just a little stunned by how nice the new lighting/fog/reflection/water engine is... Fishing in...

    NHL 26-27: Roasting marshmallows around a Detroit dumpster

    I'm just going to assume you haven't seen the Dallas ones... They're "Here's your Hi-vis vest for your crossing guard duty, and we put a hockey players name on the back".

    This project landed somewhere around $800 total. $99 a pop for the 4 slabs (Floor and Decor, Hevea), $100 for the sealant (arm-r-seal, I HIGHLY recommend), $120 for the pop up charger/power + charging cables and integrated charger, $80 for that side hutch, and some for sealing supplies...

    It was originally supposed to be a more muted, less saturated, yellow. This is a room on the north side of the house so gets very little direct sun. Trying to brighten it up a little. Somehow the little paint sample I had did not end up looking like the color as mixed for the painters and...

    He's over in the side hutch at the moment. He'll probably find his way back under the monitors soon enough. He was a free gundam kit I got at the Hobby Lobby booth at San Japan. It was "sit down and enjoy a beginner snap together kit for free", so I did... Rated for ages 6 and up, so only...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    Sir... Born and raised in Dallas. Cowboys fan since Staubach here. I know the pain, I'm here for ya, but you have to learn to let the pain wash over you. Embrace that you can love a team while hating the owner....

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    If you're much of a lipreader and watched the game he dropped a couple 'SHIT!'s when that field goal went in. But the problem is this. For over a generation now he has billed and promoted himself as the "Football guy" who runs the team and makes the decisions. When you post up as that guy...

    Honestly I just post links to tweets, since the forums themselves can't save the video and I don't feel like wrestling with Imagr or youtube. Never let it be said there's no place for chunky autistic girls in college athletic events....

    SAAR!!! As a 57 year old who is quite comfortable in Unix (literally have a customer talking to me right now because I can get shit working on AIX for them) I'll have you know... I look a lot more like a dwarf.... Realizing I'm going to straddle both sides of the Horde/Alliance fence. Hearing...

    Halloween is upon us!

    So.. 10 until 10.... No trick or treaters in almost half an hour. I'm ready to call it. So next kid to the door, if there is one, gets the bucket dump. (saving the remaining full sized)

    This is kinda where the wife is at. I still dream of a place with some land and a properly sized garage/workshop. And by properly sized I mean a garage/workshop with about the same Sq Ft size as the house.

    Halloween is upon us!

    We suffer from the fact that the helicopter parents a few blocks over host a "trunk or treat" on their block the saturday before Halloween so our turnout is a bit suppressed. So far a bit over a dozen kids, we might end up giving out fistfulls of candy by the end of the night so we don't have...

    This is starting to make me think we just aren't technologically ready to do something like a real crypto ecosystem securely outside cold storage ownership yet. And by the time we are the government will own everything needed to do it so it won't be able to deliver on all those lovely...

    I played both, different genres... Warcraft for me was drunk LAN parties at a buddies house when I was younger for the most part. I didn't get into MMOs until I met the wife (who was an EQ player)

    I'm hovering around this point myself. For me the mitigating factor is knowing how much I'm mentally "built" like my grandfather who raised me, and how once he retired is when his body really started aging. Like it was a work dog that knew it didn't need to work anymore. Trying to avoid...
