    Well lucky then I don't actually commute. I'm a field service engineer by title, so I'm in hotels 75% of my time as I travel around to different hospitals to do my job. I only referenced the time to point out that I had to move out to the sticks a bit to find a good price.

    Well, it took going 45 minutes North outta the city to find it, but found a place to put an offer on and they accepted! 5 bed 2 bath, 2k sq ft. for $240k. Only counter they did was extend the close date out a week. Pretty exciting stuff, and can't wait to be in my own home again. We've rented or...

    So the Note 9 is gonna be basically identical to the S9+ , with just an added Stylus. A leak just came out saying the in glass finger print reason is gonna come to the S10 and S10+ Spring 2019, but I'm not waiting that long. So my S7 Edge is paid for this Fall, do I score a deal on a S9+ on the...

    Haha, oh how shit changes. Started pricing shit out, and the realization that traveling as a group of 5 is expensive as shit. Mainly the flights. On top of it all, we are trying to buy a house, which literally just happened today. (Under contract as of today). Guess things work out for a reason...

    Eugene, Oregon. Possible move

    Worst thing about living in Portland is living in Portland. Naw, I'm not that familiar to be honest. I live across the river in Vancouver, and avoid Portland as much as possible. Typical crowded downtown things is I avoid it. I was born and raised in Phoenix AZ metro area. Crowded downtowns...

    Eugene, Oregon. Possible move

    Depends what you need. I've got a wife and 3 kids, and was looking for a 3/2 minimum, and $1600/month was pretty minimum to find a place.

    Lol, welcome to the Pacific Northwest! The housing prices are insane and you are right. If you make 50k a year, you're fucked.

    So with the changes happening at FoH, we can change to a PST raid guild, right? 8-11 or 9-12am PST sounds great!

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Grinding public events is fucking terrible. Like shit is that mind numbing. The gunplay is good enough, as everyone mentions, that I wish I had an active clan, and got into the strikes, and raids, etc, but don't have it. Not sure if anyone here has that, but if so, hit me up.

    Had one a couple days ago, and it's for sure not the type of thing to eat in the car, as lettuce and cheese get all over the damn place, but it was damn good. Why call it a chalupa though? The previous "Naked" line was the same, wasn't it? What makes this one a Chalupa, other than being just as...

    Right on! One thing I had to do on my Samsung S7 Edge is turn off the Verizon Cloud app. It was trying to back up shit to the cloud every hour and was killing my battery life. I completely disabled it, and things were much better.

    Up to 311 Light, and so the Warmind DLC so far has been challenging! The mission where you find a piece of the traveler? that was hard!! But now, the next mission wants 350 recommended light? Maybe 340? I'm way below it and don't want to grind through it at such low light level. Can't do heroic...

    I'm in Eugene right now for work and will be here the next couple weeks. The homeless is a problem, but not nearly as scary or as bad as Portland is. Have found some great food places here, and as mentioned, anything outdoors is pretty gorgeous. It's a college town though, so with that comes...

    Over the years, there's been a few different threads like this, but it's a topic that I feel effects me on a regular basis until I find a game I really enjoy and it snaps me out of it. It's so bad for me, that my wife knows when I don't have a game to play and yells at me to quit moping around...

    So which of the Dad servers should I play on? I saw Maze was looking at bringing one back, but then everyone rolled on this one? But there is still VoG? Somehow, despite my schedule and life that would fit perfect into the casual nature of these servers I've never heard of them and missed them...

    Last few days, I went through and did all the story quests. There's a quest chain on each planet. Went through all of that, and went from Level 20 216 light, to level 25 and 265 Light. Been told to jump into Osiris DLC next, to boost Light further, before getting into Warmind. That's fine with...

    I never finished the story the first time around in Destiny 2, and so going back to it now, with all the DLC, has been pretty fun. But that's more the gunplay and stuff that's fun, more so than anything else. There are for sure some die hards that don't quit regardless, and so I'm hoping to get...

    Yea, I get it. It seems what I need to figure out is what's gonna be the next big tech town, since my career is in IT, and just move there before it gets too crowded. Have friends that bought all within the 2 years, and they are all up $100k value on their own. It's nuts.

    One of my best gaming memories was in this game. Was being carried by some clan mates, through an Incursion when they first came out.

    I'm sure others have been in this spot before, but probably a much higher rank. The Hearthstone grind where you win some, lose some, and spend all night playing, but end up the same rank you were when you started? I'm stuck at that right now at Rank 19. I'm such a pleb. :(

    Damn, that looks good. Time to look up Indian on Uber Eats! Actually... taking the kids to the mall to play for a while. Hmm... Food court might have possibilities. When you game plan out your meals for the day, and not in a healthy way, is that a sign of fatness? Or just food addiction?
