    New World

    I’ve always thought being able to build upon your progress would solve a lot of this - even if it’s minor to allow late starters to contribute, giving a small bonus by melding old armor to new (call it whatever, just don’t completely erase past gear) would go a long way towards appeasing your...

    Just grabbed 7 to max mine out when I saw they were $6.88.

    I grabbed enough at $7.20 to get me to 8/2025 as well, may also extend it out to 2026, thanks for the heads up Ut!

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Nothing like telling your 19 year-old son and his friends you’re done playing CoD for the evening and he makes the mistake of asking what you’re going to do… “Your mom, bud.”

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    I have a three box group in the mid-30s, but I’m spoiled by mouse wheel scroll to third person, just can’t get used to how the old client manages the camera.

    Yeah I just added a little over a year via the Eneba deals (got a Slickdeals alert), probably should have added more.

    Lurk would probably be glad to let him have his recently acquired “stuff”.

    Parent Thread

    My son (22) can pick me up now. He does still hit me up to play though - video games, he cuts me some slack since my FPS skills aren’t hitting on much now at 53.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Only issue I’ve had is the charm pet window being weird and not going away when charm breaks (FTE side effect evidently). Not having trains dropped on you is nice.

    Sailing on the Seas of Fate - Plague Ships of Nurgle

    Wife and I are doing a 9-night New England/Canada cruise for our 30th anniversary. We were looking at Caribbean itineraries and were not finding anything we liked so I started widening the search - this is on one of the ships we prefer, is 2 more nights and was less expensive, so we’re giving...

    Neckbeards getting their 42 boxes logged in makes for serious queues.

    The man played through the FFXIV msq and bitched about it in that thread the entire time. Adversity has made him persistent.

    Job Hunting

    Looks like a 180 question assessment that gives both capability and personality profile. I don’t have any concerns about testing, was just curious about this particular one.

    Job Hunting

    I’ve been asked to take a caliper assessment by a prospective employer - anyone familiar with these?

    Playstation 5

    I’m glad I have a save in the first game that allows me to go back and brutally murder Roidchick’s dad from time to time… hmm, I need to see what they’ve done with mods on pc and “acquire” the game on it.

    I think /yell is proximity and also gives others your direction, whereas /shout is the zone wide red letter text.

    Headphones & Audio Devices

    Yeah I’ve had one pair of Corsair headphones and they were terrible (RGB70). Just looking on Amazon (all of these wired) I see the JBL Quantum 300 for $50 and Steel Series Artic 5 for $70. I’ve not used these specific headsets but have had good luck with the brands.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I just assume when someone says “I need to take this call” and turns off the camera it means the same thing.

    The Beer Thread

    I’ll usually get the Sierra Nevada/New Belgium variety packs if they’re available, local grocery will run a sale that gets a 12 pack under $14 and I’ll stock up. Then I’ll occasionally buy a couple of 4-pack pints of something local to have.

    Desktop Computers

    First computer was a VIC-20 with a cassette drive, hooked up to a black and white tv. Upgraded a couple years later to the C64 with a 1541 disk drive. Keyed in so many programs from Compute! Magazine I learned BASIC through immersion.

    At 52, rides don’t phase me at all. But damned if standing on something and looking up to change a lightbulb or anything like that doesn’t fuck me up.

    4090 seems to be more readily available, I’ve been able to get to check out with the $1,599 MSI on Best Buy a few times - just don’t need it right now.

    What Lanx said - I’m running two in my PC with no heat sinks and temps have always looked good. Bought a heat sink for the one in my PS5 though.

    What’s amusing is doing this with the fence in the sewers and selling shit you stole from him back to him only to steal it and sell it again.

    Jaheira gets somewhat less annoying shortly, and she does get the best rez (Harpers Call) and also solid summons relatively early in the game.

    The Beer Thread

    I grabbed the double IPA version of this (12%) and damn… hop profile was good but the alcohol still overwhelmed the flavor. I also picked up their Raging Bitch (8.3%) - I think someone else had posted it - it was really good.

    Quest 2 came in yesterday, redeemed RE4 code (and the Golf and Space Pirate game that’s currently free with promo) and played through first couple of areas in RE4. Motion did affect me a little bit, was using joystick move rather than “teleport “, but was okay - great translation to VR though...

    A mage should be able to right click on a mage scroll in inventory and choose scribe to add it to their spell book.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I’m playing through again on a “battlemage” in BG2 - beserker dual classed to mage at level 9, it’s one of the more powerful builds in the game, just have to find proper gear to make up for the fact you can’t wear armor but that’s not an issue once you’ve cleared a few areas/quest. There is a...
