    What vehicle do you drive?

    I drove a 2000 Honda Insight for 21 years, it was one of the first with that feature, but it only seemed to work if your vents were 100% off. Like not even a slight breeze in the car. When it did work it startled me. What a weird setup.

    I was in Barrow Alaska for a few weeks for a job. (maybe I'll throw some pics into the other thread) 99.999999% Native Alaskans because, well, here it is on the map (now called it's native name, Utqiagvik for some Colonialism reason) The grocery store had gallons of milk for 11$...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    This is personal preference, and totally a me problem and not them, but by Act 3 I was really wishing there was a way to just make is turn based without constantly having to learn new patterns of dodge/parry. Old school Lunar Silver Star style :P Still a 99/100 for me though, glad I bought...

    I didn't unlock the paint spike ability until Act 3, I really over-estimated how hard it was to rescue enough gimps to unlock it. Took like 2 minutes lol

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I hate retail WoW with a passion, but the MoP remix was perfect. It was neat doing daily raids and constantly getting more and more OP. Everyone in the PuG raid finder seemed to be having fun, especially later on when raid mobs would die while monologuing. This time around I'm not even...

    Good luck man! I had a CT 15 years ago when they found a bit of plasma in my urine during a flight physical. They never could pinpoint what caused it so just rubber stamped me. I'm sure I'll be dead of some random cancer in 3 years :P

    So My Wife Died...

    How the fuck did I miss this thread? Reading this has really helped me. I'm not going to threadjack so I'll just say my wifey died in a car crash last August and left me alone with the kiddos. I'm a silver lining kind of guy, so I'll admit that kind of like ripping off a band aid quick...

    Worth it. The horde mechanic was a lot of fun, and I liked the story / upgrading the bike. I think they remastered it once for PS5 / PC?

    You're a better man than me. Just started Act 3, doing the optional stuff for companion rep and just getting absolutely socked on the easiest difficulty. I just have so much trouble getting past a lot of the fights with like 10 different attacks, all with feints,etc. I'm sure I have to...

    So one day they patched Tesla's summon feature to be a BIT more aggressive. I used it in an empty parking lot at night, saw that it was going to attempt a Field Goal between two of the above handicap signs (except these were embedded into the pavement and not *supposed* to move). A small voice...

    I feel like I'm the old person now when it comes to tech. Like I just noticed, when shutting down the TV for the night, I get up, aim the remote at the TV as if it was one of those ancient infra-red light remotes....they're all bluetooth now or whatever, works anywhere in the house.

    Aion Reawakening

    https://aionreawakening.com/ Anyone remember much about the original Aion? I vaguely remember in mass PvP we were all like single polygon icons instead of rendered characters, and there were a TON of stuns in PvP. The PvE and wing mechanics were unique at the time. I might give the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I stopped raiding when I stood in a slightly different shade of purple puddle on a purple ground and healed the boss for 50% on the WOTLK server, I don't even recall what raid it was (it started with vehicles). Just annoying mechanics, and I realized I don't enjoy raiding anymore. I was...

    I had a fedex package attempt delivery while I was at work twice, at like 10am and needed a signature. After the 2nd attempt it was immediate returned to sender and not available at any facility. Still have no clue what it was.

    Nice, how far underwater do you dare go while snorkeling? My record is 41 feet at some cliffs in Maine. Late to the party, but reminds me of my trip to Ginny's Springs in FL. The river was typical black / low vis, but the springs themselves are clearer than any clean pool I've been in, you...

    Do you watch a lot of TV? Hook up an old computer or Pi, whatever you can get running Firefox+uBlock Origin add on, it kills youtube ads, facebook, even Prime Video ads on the cheap tier. (Havent tested Netflix)

    I'm miserably bad at the parries. Sometimes the mobs make a woosh noise just before attacking, that sometimes helps. But it's not a 'parry just before contact', you have to do it earlier. Loving it so far, it's a breath of fresh air. PS5 Pro version, I was too busy to camp out a new video card.

    I snagged it for the PS5 Pro. Just have to wait until after work now :( I've been looking forward to this one for a while, trusted reviewers seem to like it and I'm a sucker for a good story game. /Now to find out how much my reflexes suck for the mandatory parry / QTE button mashing!

    JRPGs

    I played this on SegaCD when it first came out and was amazed by it. Been playing the remaster, and I seriously don't remember the sewer boss hitting that hard lol. I fixed my formation and got it the 2nd time. So far so good! It's a simple jRPG but hits all the right spots for me.
