    I used the Logitech G13 to save wear and tear on my laptop keyboard.

    Son starts his senior year today, so we’ll have an empty nest come next year. I used to think how awesome that would be, but now the thought of having to deal with my wife’s emotions with no kids is terrifying. Almost makes me hope my daughter moves back in after college so they can watch...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    LA Noire is $23.99 at Best Buy with GCU, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is $35.99 with GCU. Probably been there before, but I don’t see the more popular games discounted that often.

    H1Z1 (Not actually an MMO) - Server: Antidote (info in first post)

    I got my moneys worth out of the game in alpha goofing around. I do play the BR version on PS4 now, nice as there's less likely chance of hacking.

    Mine is going to be 21 in December. You do the best you can, make sure they know what they should expect from others, and that you love them unconditionally and their value is intrinsic and not based on what others think of them. That and try to look and act like John Wick when their friends...

    Fuck, I was hoping to go a year without the Saban to <insert team name here> rumors. Jim McElwain is available, and there are no sharks to molest in Ohio.

    College Football 2018-2019 Season

    I wondered how they did scholarships, 8 a year sounds about right - no brainer if he gets an offer. Followed his account you linked, he’s doing a good job with it. If not Yale I’m kinda hoping Duke, I’d be going to watch him play along with a couple of other kids I know and coached.

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    I think most of the more competitive FPS guys here dislike both the building and third person perspective - though I can’t imagine trying to build in this game in first person. I like the game, but have been playing other stuff more because I tend to get fed up with their hit registration.

    Lookin for a good pair of Bluetooth headphones, think it’s down to the Sennheiser PXC 550 vs. the Bose QC 35 - any suggestions? Edit to add: primarily for listening to music and watching movies, I have a headset for my computer. Maybe some gaming when wife is trying to sleep.

    The Last of Us

    I seem to remember them saying after TLoU that Joel and Ellie’s story was complete... After the old trailer where he was talking to Ellie many assumed he might be a ghost/memory talking to her; I’d be disappointed if he isn’t at least in as a narrative element of the backstory, but I can...

    John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)

    I can’t help but think of Commando when talking about protagonists never really at risk of death/injury. I watched it again with my son and laughed my ass off as 10+ guys are shooting at him in a courtyard, then he turns around, sweep/sprays and knock all their asses backwards. Cue guys...

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    I have to tell my son to reign it in occasionally - I’ll play squads with him and his friends on PS4, their twitch skills are far better than mine (age 17 vs. almost 48, so yeah). He’ll rage over the one shot/hit through walls stuff.

    It was always good - since they built the bypass we never go by there anymore. My wife’s aunt and uncle ran a successful restaurant here for 15 years - they worked 7 days a week for the first eight, cut back to six days a week for a few more and then hired a manager for several before deciding...

    My son (like me) isn’t a people person per se, but sports and video games with his friends keeps him social enough. Wife and I went on an eight day cruise (25th anniversary) and she was worried about him being lonely... I laughed - she asked him when we got back and he just looked at her like...

    Semi related from the old thread - @Brahma how is recruiting going?

I’ve told him I’m more concerned about him getting a quality degree than getting...

    I have good days and bad days - getting a lot of lag spikes and stuttering since the servers got the influx of mobile players. I suck at building compared to some of these guys though, so if I’m not playing duos/squads with my son and his friends I’ll pick my battles - some of these guys can...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    So after a patch or sometimes just randomly I get defaulted to Asian servers - I usually figure this out because 1) lobby is full of people speaking ranglish 2) I’ll get 3 - 4 kills in a round, which is unheard of for me.

    I’ve coached football and soccer at the youth level for years and enjoyed it, but I’ve decided I’ve gotten too old to deal with the parents. Number one priority is setting expectations first, and reinforcing expectations regularly. Have a “contract” of what they should expect from you and...

    I don’t think anyone is really advocating homeschooling here, but here locally there are organizations that have relatively large groups (100+ kids) that meet up 3+ days/week for physical ed/recess activities, do field trips regularly, etc. There are even a few that field athletic teams. So...

    Homeschooling is a tough call but I can certainly understand why you would decide to do it under the circumstances. Biggest thing is the socialization challenges - plenty of homeschool associations here but yeah vast majority are faith-based and likely using Ken Hamm bullshit curriculum...
