    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    As a kid in the 90s I would ride my 10 speed bike everywhere. I think I biked 30 miles round trip to the mall for a Sega CD game once. You just can't do that now. So many people on their phones just oblivious. In my (small) facebook widow group alone 3 of them lost their spouse on...

    I did the same thing on my 1st EQ character, and Aviaks were my first outing with the new guild. Pure magic at the time!

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    I loved having SEQ on an old linux laptop. Having a map on a separate screen with (eventual) respawn timers made pulling so much fun. I was able to hide it on original live, even pulling the named cycle in Trak's Teeth on my mage (back when Forager/Hunter had only one spawn up at a time). It...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I feel like there's a real brain drain going on in pretty much all industries. The folks who were good at writing software for example, and it was pretty much a hobby for them are retiring, and now a lot of people are just there for a paycheck with no pride in their work.

    The Division 2

    Are enemies still bullet sponges? I seem to remember after finishing the main storyline the 'challenge' was just to up their health 20x. (Been a while could be wrong)

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Put it on storymode and change the setting to auto-click for your offensive moves and you should be good to go. I didn't have much trouble with the storyline stuff, and just decided I didn't have time for the optional super tough bosses. Also, we may be old, but we're not bad at parrying...

    Be ready to instantly need reading glasses if they touch you up. I had lasik in 03, (FUCKING 03er!!!), and both got blurry, but the right eye was fine. Had the left touched up with PRK and I can see far away super sharp, but it's useless for reading closer than 1 foot away. Right eye is a...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I already beat this, but for some reason Dark Shore didn't respawn for me, though I got a bunch of grandiose crystals my 1 clear. But only enough to upgrade a few times.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    A lot of us feel the 'pull' to find a sweet forever home MMO, but then when we sit down to grind or do repetitive stuff, start asking ourselves....why?

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I take it back about Storymode. I beat it last night and the main storyline is plenty easy. But they gave no fucks on the optional side content just before the last zone, so that's still super tough lol. 9/10 for me, I loved the world they created.

    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.

    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...

    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 one day they patched Tesla's summon feature to be a BIT more aggressive.

    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.
