    The Beer Thread

    I ended up going to Southern Tier. Apparently they have a brewery and taproom right in downtown Pittsburgh. It was a good place with some tasty beers of theirs I hadn't had before. Southern Tier is one of my mainstream go-to's at the liquor store, so it was a nice surprise to find that.

    The Delicious Candy Thread

    Perfect time to Necro this thread. It's the season of Reese's peanut butter eggs, which is the ultimate form of Reese's cups.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    City of Heroes controllers was peak MMO fun for me. I loved how it wasn't just variations on sleeping enemies. Knock backs, knock downs, knock ups, sleeps, stuns...so much variety. No other MMO classes have been quite as much fun.

    Total War: Warhammer

    I played 1 for a few months before picking up 2, and I wished I'd just gone straight for 2. Not only is there a lot more content if you have both due to mortal empires, there are lots of small changes. For example, vampire counts were no fun to play in 1 because they were missing a key...

    I'd settle for grocery stores that sell beer, even if it's only IPAs and shandies. I'd fucking love to pick up some beer with my Doritos and pizza rolls.

    The Beer Thread

    I'm going to be in Pittsburgh for a few days on business next month. Any good breweries I should check out while there? I'd love a place I can chill for a few hours to escape spending time with my coworkers. I'll have a car so I can head outside the city easily if there are any good places in...

    I can't stop watching if I've still got 35 pizza rolls to eat. Am I supposed to sit there and eat in silence with no visuals? Hell no.

    Dear Esther is dumb. The graphics aren't good enough to make it truly immersive. So it's just a boring FPS minutes the S.

    Absolutely. I despise any game with a doomsday clock mechanic. Just let me play at my own pace.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    The music in Rankin/Bass Hobbit and Lord of the Rings is fantastic. I fucking love Where There's a Whip There's a Way.

    I had a bad mice problem years ago. I used the good old wooden traps with peanut butter and had little luck. I switched to a smoked gruyere (no joke) and overnight killed several. A couple more rounds and they were gone. They couldn't get enough of my gruyere.

    If they needed color, they should have gone with the Rankin Bass elves.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    It's pretty amazing. I remember the initial Switch reveal where they shook the joycon like it was a little glass filled with ice. The whole thing seemed so underwhelming. I really thought it was going to be a flop.

    KFC ceased to exist the moment they got rid of their potato wedges. Literally the only reason to go there.

    How man emails do you deal with professionally?

    Between 500 and 1000 every month, depending heavily on the time of year. I used to get a lot more every day. We've recently started using Teams for things that would have previously been a one-line email. Fuck texts. I don't want anyone from work knowing my phone number, let alone sending me...

    It'll get an overall boost when the Amazon Lord of the Rings show comes out. I think the consensus is SSG is planning updates and marketing push to coincide with that, which makes a lot of sense. I don't know what other sever populations are like. There are a couple global chat channels, and...

    We already have a couple bikes we really like, so we just wanted something to use them indoors in the winter. We have this: It's fantastic and I recommend it to anyone looking for an indoor trainer without spending a huge amount of money. - It's pretty quiet. It makes noise, but not much. We...

    On Treebeard's global chat the other night, people were saying that Shadowfax is a ghost town. I think they said it averages about 30 people online at peak time. Treebeard seems to be 300ish at peak.

    Didn't expect much, but this was pretty good. It had a nice crunch. I liked it more than the one with pretzel bits in it, but I've always been more of a chips guy than pretzels.

    I ate a bag of Spicy Nacho Doritos for my drive home from work the other day, but it was one of those dud bags with hardly any flavor powder. Awful. Ruined my commute.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    There is kind of a delay between clicking abilities and them activating. The animations finish before the next ability fires, so it has a weird feel. Whenever I come back I get used to it quicky and it becomes kind of a rhythm. I think that's one thing that helps slow down the combat so it's not...

    HVAC died this morning, meaning no heat. Earliest repair appointment we could get was tomorrow afternoon. Temps are going to drop down to low 20s or high teens tonight.

    FYI, the slow progression server (Treebeard) is opening up the first expansion Mines of Moria on Wednesday, January 5. I've been slowly leveling up and enjoying the story pace. With the reduced exp from the Treebeard server and the increased landscape difficulty, it really feels like I'm playing...

    Don't Look Up (2021)

    I generally don't give a shit about politics or messages in movies. I thought it was only mildly funny from a purely comedy standpoint. Thinking back on it, I can only remember two or three times that it actually got me to laugh out loud. Humor is subjective, so if you thought it was a laugh a...
