    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Honestly, I'm shocked I even got a call about it (automated voice mail). I really just hope it happens in the middle of the night when it doesn't matter and not in the middle of a work day.

    For good people like that, yes. Absolutely.

    It's great in a group. Make sure to check p99 wiki for zone xp modifier information. That will help you with grouping.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Power company doing a planned outage "some time in the next week". Umm, ok. When? We work from home now and an outage in the middle of a Zoom call with attorneys, CPAs, or clients is pretty shitty. Oh, and it's scheduled between 2am and 3pm, but they can't tell me when exactly. Does sound all...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Between WH 1 and WH 2, I have about 400 hours in and I still suck. I just don't think these games are for me. I spent 14 years of my childhood painting and playing WH with a big group and I love the brand to death, but in those 400 hours od total war I only have one winning campaign.

    Austin, Texas

    Austin is a cute mini-California in an otherwise free, non-retarded state. I used to really enjoy the downtown but now I'm just disgusted by the politics and crime spikes and random homeless you'll see pissing on the sidewalk. If you absolutely must go there, stay well outside of the city limits.

    I'd opt rent in that situation if it's a pleasant place to live temporarily. But, the caveat to that statement is: what's the overall state of the market there? Can you sell the $220k house in a few years and not take a loss factoring in taxes over that period of time? Can your money work harder...

    I was there a bit today and will be for a few levels. 11 dwarf rogue named Lough. I'll keep my eyes open.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Being healthy and injury free makes a big difference over the years. Taking a few extra sacks to extend a healthy career a few years? Yup.

    I miss my V8s. Currently only have flat 6s and inline 6s in the garage =/

    Project 99 - Green Server announcement

    Just rolled on Green. Might be too late to catch up, might not, we'll see. I get to make my own work schedule and I work from home, so I'm sure I can multitask. Didn't go super min/max this time. Made a Dwarf Rogue named Lough, since I've never played dwarf or rogue before. Zone chats are quiet...

    Is that the one you ended up getting? RWD or AWD version? Color looks great too.

    White helmets in the Ultramarines denotes Veteran company, which is the 1st company. His shoulder pad has a 9 on it, not a 1. This image is wrong and therefore heresy.

    Car insurance - Pay per mile

    Never heard of that before, but it makes sense these days. Heck, I used to drive all week to get to the office or to see clients and now I drive ONE day a week to get groceries. Yet, I'm still paying the same amount for car insurance. If things get close to the way they were before Covid, it...

    Warhammer 40k

    LOL. If GW can't make a $100 model that's required to win, they won't bother updating. Eldar players have been waiting years. Neckbeards want Schpashe Morines.

    Makes me sad that some of those sculpts are nearly 15 years old. Eldar are in serious need of a good refresh.

    They are faster than real cars. But, there are dozens of classes that people compete in. Its not just a big free-for-all. Not sure I'd choose to race up the Peak seeing as there are still no guard rails and cars still go flying off into the abyss.

    Was negotiating for a car and someone bought it this morning, hours before I was able to close. It was nearly perfect. Little deflated right now.

    If you intend to stay there for a long time, then building the house you want will be a better choice. We're doing the same cost/benefit analysis right now and looking at architects and builders.

    My wife thinks I'm nuts for doing it, but that is why I don't have auto-pay on anything. Every company has fucked with rates and played those games. If I had auto-pay I wouldn't see it for 6-12 months.

    Faces are always tough. Some deep ink washes will help a lot too in creating contrast in the armor.

    Thanks for the insight, H.Y. I haven't priced out a build that I'd be interested in doing, but I did find a pre-built that looked good (though still without a mega GFX card) for $2,800. MSI MEG Trident X Review: Mighty and Slim Not cheap, but I have seen some for double that. Still, it feels...
