Saw two new skins in battlefield six tonight. One was a hazmat suit and the other was a weird TRON polygon suit in the game. Well. BF6 was fun while it lasted but looks like it’s turning into fortnite after all.

BF6, NOT RedSec.

It pains me that of all games, this is the one they decide to not make first person.

Probably to sell cosmetics...

BBS's were great back in the day because you had one phone line and had to get off or your parents would kill you. Operation Overkill II, Trade wars, some of those persistent BBS games were awesome. Typically the Sysop had one line too and if you were on playing Trade Wars no one else could until you got off.

Legend of the Red Dragon... had me... The Realm took me and EQ owned me.

BBS door games were a lot of fun. Probably the earliest adopter of time gated/daily play models as well - it was a BBS admin setting, but most of the ones I played usually limited you to a set number of actions a day for games like LotRD (probably to prevent people from playing them all day). There were a bunch of dirty ones also - I remember "Pimp Wars" and you could do stuff to other people's offline characters, then when they logged in they saw what you did lol

Yeah LOtRD had where you could attack sleeping (logged out) people- if they were in the inn you had to bribe the innkeeper and yeah it was action points per day etc

This game (Dead as Disco) seems interesting - I suck at rhythm games, but kind of a cool concept to have it as a beat-em-up game

I learned as a kid living in Tampa to get a UPS for my PC very early...

Thank God for great gaming on the PS1/N64 at that time.
Myrtle Beach, SC - Be me - Direct strike, came right through the UPS took out 2 PC's one so bad it blew caps off the motherboard & accessory cards. UPS was fine but I junked it anyhow.

Living room , TV/DVD player/Xbox/ PS whichever was out in 2002 / catv box. all in same UPS. TV, XBOX, PS whatever all fine, everything else fried.

Nothing is safe when lightning wants to come a callin'

Same happened to mine - caps blew on the mobo and s bunch of devices never worked the same. It also melted a part of a CD player we had plugged in nearby so bad the top didn't open anymore

1st house, new to home ownership/mortgage. Meet the insurance guy . 1st question - are you going to cancel me? Guy gives a weird look , I said hey I just need to know if I should start shopping for insurance.

Great news, 100% of the house and electronics loss was covered minus my $500 deductible.

I own my house outright now and still keep HO insurance. You never know........

Two weeks after I dropped full coverage I got my car smashed by a hail storm for the first time in my life.

The universe loves its comedic timing.
