On this latest read through I enjoyed the Egwene chapters more than most of the Perrin chapters. Nynaeve gets better once her and Elayne separate. Faille during her captivity with the Shaido and Elayne gaining the Lion Throne were really the only two parts that I just couldnt stand.

Just finished a reread of the entire series. Still holds up and it truly felt like getting together with some old, dear friends that I havent seen in a long time. Even enjoyed the books everyone bitches about, for me it was the Elayne chapters that I least enjoyed, so I skimmed the shit out of...

I didnt say during a flood. I said all bets are off during a 100 year flood, ie houses floating away. I used pools popping out of the ground as an example of the power of water. Empty pools can pop out of the ground due to hydrostatic pressure if the water table gets too high. When I build em I...

Im sure they are, but if you get caught in a hundred year flood, all bets are off. Water dont fuck around, do a quick search for pools popping out of the ground.

You've never heard of pier and beam foundations?

A lot of houses built on steep terrain next to rivers like the Guadalupe or there in Ruidoso arent going to be built on a standard, poured concrete foundation.

Turned PC Gamepass on to check out the new Monster Train and was pleasantly surprised to find out Expedition 33 was there as well. Expedition 33 really is a masterpiece but I find myself firing up another round of Monster Train more often than not when I have a couple hours to play something.

Shroom guys are fun. Used the duplicate any card Pyre, get the unit that resolves a FunGuy at the end of every turn and try to put a couple of those on the first couple floors and you can get some huge shrooms built up pretty quick. Got lucky with a Jack in the Box and shoved two of those guys...

It's even worse when you are building something for that type of person in their backyard. Also everyone now has security cams straight to their phones so they can eye fuck everything all day long even if they aren't home.

Red River. They're building/expanding I-35 from Gainseville to OK and the I-beams they have up are completely covered with debris and giant logs. Pretty impressive that it help up so well right in the middle of construction.

If you do feel the need to ask questions or have concerns but dont want to be a dick, take pics and PM me or ask in this thread, always happy to help FOH bros.

Second guessing everything that happens before its even a finished product. Its a process, wait until that part is completely finished and the guys are out of the yard before sending 8 pics asking why are they doing this? You hired them to do a job, let them do that job. Mistakes happen and if...

I took a few years off to go try to be a biologist, realized it paid for shit and had too much politics so returned to Texas and made some calls to people I knew in the business. Got hired to manage all the weekly service routes for a large builder in DFW. Did that for a few years and had a...

It's definitely an ARPG loot/crafting simulator. Which I like. I waste a lot of time min/maxxing my gear that would be better spent grinding monos but that's one of the things I like most about the genre. Huge reason I quit POE2 so early this go around as well.

Ya my homebrew Void Knight is crushing. Had some mana issues to keep an eye on through the campaign but am now slowly respeccing mana nodes here and there for more damage. Not going to look at any kind of build guide until I start hitting the wall.

Oh no.

Lol, they beheaded Siuan? That's fucking hilariously bad. Decided to reread the whole damn thing. Halfway through Shadow Rising, which sounds close to where the series is at. I wish someone would come along and behead Faille, but otherwise it's still fantastic reading.

Ya I dont get the jank comments either. Playing melee using Lunge and it always puts me where I am supposed to go.

Yep, I just want to play a fun league start over a weekend every couple months followed up by a couple hours of endgame after work during the week. Ideally POE 1, 2, and Last Epoch. 2 of those 3 seem to have it figured out so far.

I got in pretty easy, played for an hour. Gotta get back to work for an hour or so though. Good feeling knowing I should be done with the campaign this evening or tmrw afternoon at the latest.

Going with big spins Void Knight. Loved playing a cyclone build years ago in POE1 in that league when they buffed the shit out of it.

Only thing keeping me from moving to Montana now that my daughter is in college is that I bet the pool business sucks up there.

Nah. Been doing a practice run on Last Epoch this week after a few days on a fishing trip. That games campaign feels so much better than POE2's I know I would hate it, even with the changes. Might check on it again in a few weeks when I get bored with LE.

I guess when the people developing the games decide to stop attacking the people that play the games then the people that play the games should stop attacking the people that create this slop. Imagine being such a loser that you feel the need to jump into every thread in the Gaming forum to...

Did not include any landscaping. We did do 100' retaining wall behind it though and backfilled with the dirt we dug out for the pool.

Just under $200.

Nope. Wasnt us.

Here's a big bastard I just finished. Slide/grotto with fire burners. 8' deep, elevated spa. Tequila table top still needs to be installed but I dont have to do that.

Watching a couple videos and this game just flat out looks better than POE2. With movement skills, loot actually dropping with lots of options to upgrade it, and not dropping patch notes at the last minute has me hyped for release on Friday. Pretty much the polar opposite of 2 weeks ago...

Campaign should be fun, easy, and fairly quick so the player is hooked when they get to maps. Then they can start layering more difficulty and risk vs reward and let players choose how they want to play. I dont understand why JR wants the stupid campaign to be the centerpiece of the game.

Collecting regal shards to make a regal to then make a 3 affix rare just feels bad. Sell for gold and gamble or look for vendor items feels better to me. But that still feels bad.

Ya I've had some trouble the last couple years with feelings of existential dread. My whole life I've always kind of looked at teh clock and told myself I still have plenty of time left. But approaching, and finally hitting 50, I look at the clock and realize that I have more time behind me than...

So this Seestar...it obviously is capable of getting some really nice shots. My question is, are you just looking at your phone the whole time? If so that seems kind of disconnected from what I like about amateur astronomy which is looking at something impossibly far away with my own eye. I feel...

This one sucks. Not a huge star but a familiar face that would occasionally pop up somewhere throughout my entire life. I have to stop looking at this thread.

Well shit, if Bubbles, one of the world's foremost Twitch simps, is getting pedo vibes, I guess we can close the books on this one.

I break out my Am I Retarded t-shirt whenever I try EU4. I'll add that to my 2024 list of goals!

This must be my yearly reminder to try to learn EU4. Every time I try as a total newb it seems like too much and I give up.

Giant black dude in samurai armor just walking through a village slaughtering a bunch of short Japanese guys with a sword that looks like it came from Elden Ring. Absolute masterpiece, not ridiculous at all.
