    Weather

    40% of rockport residents didn't evacuate they are saying (weather channel ticker). There is gonna be some dead peeps. This flooding is pretty insane, I guess this is the level of flooding that might get people to write a religious text about it.

    I personally just don't like the gameplay that's maximized in solo. But this is also why I play dota, 2's 3's in rocket league, and will pub squad in this game. I can see why people like solo though, just like those who prefer 1v1 FPS dueling games/fighting games/etc. I enjoy the added...

    Well I did not go blind, I'm already home, there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The temperature drop was severe, maybe being in a desert area it dropped more, but I think it was 20 degrees. Watching the shadow approach and wash down the mountains into the valley, and up and out the other...

    Heading out this morning to camp out tonight, May your people traffic be low. I'm pretty excited to be able to experience this Eclipse. Sun sun and more sun at my location. I always think about using the sun as a gravitational lens when I think of solar eclipses now. Relativity go. Solar...

    Starcraft: Remastered

    Broodwar's state of the game is viewed like chess. Its a happy accident that it is such a robust esport title. To change anything is to break something that has persisted with no changes successfully. To make it widescreen, to change the ui or selection limitations or pathing. This wasn't...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Your stats are 100% derived from your current weapon/armor. If you play 1000 hours of longsword, make a max level switch axe. Given your skill with the moveset of the switch axe is equivalent, you can shit on things instantly. There is no punishment for weapon type changing. You may even...

    Monster Hunter: World

    You can try any weapon whenever you want, given that you've crafted it, but it is not on the fly swapping mid combat or anything. The only restriction is that you cannot change your weapon or armor away from town or possibly the hunting camp now in MHW. The hunting camp which can just be...

    Monster Hunter: World

    I don't think its near the gamble you suggest. For two reasons. XX is on the switch and handheld, I know they aren't main line games but there has been consistent titles to keep the addiction alive. The Japanese market hasn't been waiting for monster hunter games. Not to mention the...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Game is going to be so fucking amazing. Its such a god damn shame the PC and next gen haven't seen this title until now (soon). This series is 100% one of my absolute favorites. Exceptionally rewarding. I was coming to post these videos. They seem to have minimized a few of the super...

    DOTA 2

    I think the lower bracket is insane volatile. C9/Empire is a coin flip. DC/IG.V is favored to IG, but DC can also win this game. Liquid are doing it part two. OG seems unlikely to lose to Infamous, but who knows. And Secret could completely lose a Bo1 to Execration. The less upsets in...

    Did you give that giant leaf a hug gerbil? I'm a sucker for giant leafs lol.. Impressive set of blooms this year, your hibiscus story is great. Sorry I have been less of a contributor, it will improve.

    Titanfall 2 would have a lot more players if EA was on steam. Quake Champions (a game I want to succeed at the highest level) has to end up on steam or its fucking dead if bethesda keeps it on their shit launcher.

    Full on PvP games must have a long term monitization plan. The server back end to provide matchmaking and performance is not free, and the cost is indefinite as long as the game is popular. Let the whale's of the world spend thousands on purely cosmetic items that don't affect play. Single...

    DOTA 2

    Midweek at the arena is far better for all the booths, swag bags, and secret shopping. Definitely don't just show up at the finals. The games are still high quality, but all the ancillary booths and such are far less lines in midweek. If its like last year, your two tickets will entitle...

    If the river is low and there is no chance of rain, take the time to consider the narrows in Zion. Arches is very close to Bryce and Zion, you might consider it for trails or hikes. There is a wide variety of things to see in Yellowstone. Check out the more remote waterfall/geyser hikes...

    Is there any way you can change the reflectivity of what you're shading with the tree during the day. I was thinking if you had any potted plants you could have around it. I have no idea if the dark rock/bark at the base might contribute to a higher temperature at the root base. I am really...

    Its in "space" but you'll enjoy it if you take it as an arcade naval ship combat. I found it compelling enough to complete, I wasn't about complaining what it wasn't. Its a fun little game to broadside the fuck out of shit in a space skin. If you want the arcade space shooter. Everspace is...

    If you have sun, space, water, and soil, you can grow anything you can tend in your climate. Raised beds are a really good way to approach food growing, especially if you've never done it. Flowerbeds can be done super organized, or more in the style that you see with many of my pictures in...

    Butterfly I caught today. This is the peony seed pods, some have 2 3 or 4 of these growths. I am not sure what determines this and haven't worked to look it up, but I thought it was interesting enough to share.

    The desert rose is super rad. Gerbil, for your lily loving heart. The first deep red opened today. It only has 4 petals, it has spots, and a soft hue of orange deep in the cup. I'm not sure who this guys parents are. But it seems like a mutant that had a red parent and an orange with...

    Thanks. To answer your question about bugs, they are there no matter what, it really is about catching it semi early before its everywhere. You can pull/trim/cut any dead parts of your plant out of the arrangement, I find they act like bug houses and they are already lost to us. Here is a...

    My best rose. Rose #1 Rose #2 Different Rose #1 White Rose that magically opened this year from inside a cluster of red shoots, cut back all the red shoots to give it maximum sun power, its now leaning on the fence because it was supported by longer red stalks.
