RIng of Red, that's the one. Thanks Gav. Guess it didn't age as well as my mind thought, haha.

Got this game and enjoying it a lot. But, off topic question for this group of gamers: Can anyone remember a tactics game that was basically a divergent WW2 time line with tanks/artillery, etc in a FFT style? I remember it on Playstation....maybe? Or maybe it wasn't WW2 at all, but steam punk...

Fixed that for you.

My parents live in Gloucester and have had nothing but shit weather all the way through to May. 40's and rain. You're lucky if it looks that nice right now.

Heater in the attic looks like its brand new. But, there is a decent amount of calcification around the fittings and that smell is so strong on the south side of the house. Can't tell if there is a water softener or not, but I'm not entirely sure what to look for. We moved in 4 days before the...

With my Imp. Fists I had good results using a thin ink wash over the model (I forget the name of the brown ink that I watered down a bit, but I'll look). It created more depth in the recesses and added a gritty, battle-worn look too. I felt the contrast helped the yellow look less flat across...

Amonia, for sure. Nothing rotten. Water heater is in the attic space (no basements in Houston). Not sure on the softener, but I'll be looking into that this weekend. I'll get some pics too.

Yeah, if you run the water it smells strongly. If you flush the toilet it's worse. If you just cup your hands and collect water from the sinks and smell it, its pretty bad. "I know everything I need to know to own a house!!!" *actually own a house and learn something every damn day*

Plumbing Question: I smell amonia in the kitchen and two of the bathrooms (the worst in the master bath). It's coming from the water and its starting the make the whole house stink. There is a huge amount of residue in the shower/sinks after only a week. Is this a messed up water heater; The...

Well, some of the reasons might sound strange to people, to be perfectly honest. No, we aren't necessarily worried about our jobs. However, they are sales positions and in the current market, sales are harder (financial services). My wife's company has a 401k and a pension (super rare) but I...

We know we aren't staying here long term, its just where the work is right now. When we look for houses we really want to be in, we check out Nashville TN, Knoxville TN, Greenville SC, and Charlotte NC. Beautiful country (mountains, lakes, river) and lots of fun stuff with decent weather. Can...

We've been looking at $700k on $350k incomes. I can't fathom how you can justify that price on a $120k income. Mortgage + taxes (insane in Houston; 2.75%) + insurance is nearly $4,500/mo. And we have zero debt as well, which is pretty un-American. I think I would have a nervous breakdown doing...

WH Fantasy Wood Elf Dragon was often used for a "green dragon" back in my day. I think it was $50 or $60 bucks in the 90's. Not sure if you could find a great deal on a second hand one. Not sure it's the scale you are after, but its a cool model.

Good points. Not everyone pays it back (or knows they should).

Don't forget to calculate the 10% penalty for taking out 401k money before 59.5 and then taxes on top of that.

Funny, I thought cast iron was.....cast

Much more interesting and visually appealing to me. The GW model (I think) has far too much going on with the sculpt and its a bit noisy. I like the more realistic and simplistic aesthetic you've gone for. The pops of yellow/orange on the lightning claws and power axe are a cool departure from...

Its possible that its just a weak spot in the wood and after drying and being walked on for years its given out.

It's been cooked...

I honestly don't know when we will think it's OK. That's a pretty tough question to answer. We don't suspect we will get ill or have troubles if we do - 38 and 39 years old and in great shape - but there are a lot of people we both interact with for work that are 60+ and we certainly don't want...

We will be staying home for another 2 weeks, very likely. All the other numbskulls can prance around the city, but we don't want to or need to take the risk. Thankfully the Woodlands will continue to be quiet even when opened again.

COVID-19 Service Provider Update April 29, 2020 Quest Diagnostics now offers COVID-19 antibody testing Last week Quest announced they have started testing for the COVID-19 antibody using blood samples. Antibodies developed by the body in response to a viral infection may...

Uhhh.....then you wouldn't have a story. It's like you're trying to debate real actions from real life. This is all fiction and the whole point is it DID get fucked up and the characters DID make the wrong decisions so that a story and an expansive universe of stuff could be sold.

I lasted 6 years in So Cal. Weather was the best in the country. But, the prices of everything, the traffic, the taxes, and the politics were just unbearable. I do enjoy visiting a couple of times per year, but we keep it to San Diego and San Clemente / Laguna. No chance in hell I'd live there...

Now, let's be realistic here: we may or may not necessarily agree with what she's doing. But, she wouldn't be kicked out, would she?

Yeah, it's saggy ass/fat compensation.

Big part of why Germany and many other European countries are running the risk of being removed from their own lands by "refugees" who contribute nothing, demand things change to suit them instead of the other way around, out-breed the local European population, and in many cases can just run...

Sounds like you will have an awesome Deathwatch squad.

Partners didn't want to get on the risk for an oil & gas client so I just lost a $755,000 case. It makes sense and I agree with them, but the fucking timing of it sucks and it would have been fine if not for Covid. Maybe in 6 or 12 months. Self rustle: I bitch about work but there are over 20...

As lame as it sounds, simply sitting down too much can do that. Because we're quarantined a lot of us are sitting more than we might have before. I have to force myself to walk around more during the day.

Unless there is a vaccination made available in the next few months, likely. It will run out of headline (media) steam and we'll be on to the next sensation. Folks will still die to it, unfortunately. But slowing things now COULD lead to a lot less death in the future *if* that vaccination comes.

Makes sense. Our firm is in the relationship business. Our bank has been with us for 30 years. But, there were 4,500 applications just to this one bank since the option became available. Who knows anymore.

Congratulations to you guys. Our firm hasn't and it doesn't look like there will be money for a while. Maybe actual physical proximity to DC matters? We're much further than you are, lol.

HAH! I thought you meant you got to 49 in the queue.

I don't understand this. You're at once stating it's completely true and completely false at the same time? Also: NYC is indeed a shit hole, regardless of WTF is going on in the world.

Unable, or unwilling/gaming the system?

Could someone please kindly drop a note here when we are able to log into the game at 4 or 5 pm and then play? I'd love to say I can be logged in and/or monitoring the damn thing for 8 hours prior to playing, but that's not possible. Hope to see the fam soon!

This virus sucks and people are going to be lost, no question. But, the effects it will have on the global economy for years to come will be FAR worse due to the knee-jerk actions and the media fear mongering. And as others have pointed out, there is so much political posturing and deal-making...

Not sure many people are going to take advantage of it, for fear of going to dead servers; precisely the reason they all came to the big servers in the first place.

I genuinely think that I'll have to log in at 4pm in order to play at 7:30pm for our raid.
