    My niece has problems now. Well kind of first world problems. She has twins. The boy got accepted to a special state high school and the sister didn't. She seems smart to me but she is not a people person. She asked me, not what to do obviously but about the school. I took a tour 40 years ago...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Didn't Larian tone down the gayness some time after launch because people complained about it? Problem is "mostly" fixed if you play it solo, kill off numerous potential party members or shut it all down in dialog early on (maybe that's what they changed). Of course that cuts off a lot of...

    Don't know wbout WA but Wyoming is always windy. Kind of the reason they have a mountain range called the Wind Mountain Range. If you go down I-80 across WY where it looks like where that train blew over the most common feature you will see mile after mile of snow fences that are very tall and...

    Yeah you will hit max level very early in act 3 even if you had gone through at a casual pace and not been someone that did every quest and such in previous acts. I know this goes against a lot of what DND is and honestly against the part I like is the the game throws equipment at you in...

    I think they did a good job with the mechanics and getting DND stuff into BG3. The overall story, meh. They had a lot of detail but the story from the start was a turn off to me.

    Depression

    I have parathesis, parathesia (I get it spelled both ways) in my hands. It's supposed to be real bad nerve pain but to me it's like you dipped your hands in hot wax and it dried. I can take neurontin for it but if I take enough to notice a difference I can't feel my hands well and I drop a lot...

    When I bought my house 30 years ago I went to a high end furniture place. Well high end for the area I lived in. I won a $5,000 credit for buying a $100 raffle ticket to a St. Jude house give away. I bought two chairs. I went in there some time ago and it was like you said, low end stuff made...

    Most days it's not bad. On days like today it's pretty bad. So I browse here and post stupid shit. I m entioned in the health thread the bone pain. It's not pure pain as it is a discomfort that you know is there and can't escape it. As one doctor at the Mayo said it's MAD multiple auutoimmune...

    Someone asked me what the P meant in 1440p. Yeah I'm old. I can remember way back interlaced monitors. I'm old and I guess I'll keep dating old women. I know if I dated someone much younger it wouldn't last long when I made references to movies like blazing saddles. It's my cross to bear. I...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    I bought a new pre built computer a few months ago with a 5070ti. Normally I would build but I had other issues. It's kind of like the old "It will be cutting edge, until the day they actually deliver it". I'm not a big gamer like a lot here. I think before I consider an upgrade it will have to...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    I get people don't follow NASCAR, but he was a top driver for a number of years. You don't fly for Rousch and he low man on the totem pole as a driver. Rouch is "the" Ford team in NASCAR. Not everyone is an Earnhardt, not even Jr. He won 19 races after looking it up for Rousch and that's a top...

    The bone pain is not really pain as it is more just discomfort, but it's super annoying. My body has leched out minerals and vitamins out of my body and most of it down out with the urine. Shows up on a bone scane which took forever to track down. It's not enough to warrent a serious pain...

    Fly from MS to MN and back on a private plane provided by a company I worked for in the past. Meet with umpteen doctors who then gave an "opinion" and made it sound like they voted on it. Got a list of things to do and not do and list of non prescription stuff I could take in addition to...

    In Brentwood, think the cops will do a better job than the last big media murder there - Simpson. Apparently Reiner, wife and kid got into a loud argument at the Conan Obrien birthday party just before. I bet that party was a riot.

    One of the releases said Divinity was going to be much larger than BG3. Imagine how many times you would have to play through it to see everything or it would be a very very long ass game. I think in some ways BG3 is too big, that or they should have broken up the acts differently. You get to...

    I said the "south". The nearest "town" to where I was with the forecast is ceasing to exist. They lost their post office and I'm sure the name on the map will be next. The nearest community is "White city" which I wonder how long that will stay on the map.

    The dark urge. It's really lacking if you want the story part. It has story but it feels like it was an after thought "Ooops we have to throw in an evil play through to get it out the door".
