I hope the best for your sister. That is devastating.
I too find solace in new toons, but for other reasons. I’m a parent, I have a chaotic job, sometimes I have to work at 2 in the morning because I am on call to a hospital. I struggle with depression and anxiety. Every once and a while the slow burn of a new Toon…

I’m going to say I was lucky to find my Magic footing in a game store where the tournaments were hosted by a woman who would seriously kick you out if you tried any stupid shit. Everybody respected her (at least, when they were in the store) and behavior was very polite. We had women and children who became quite…
Anyone that’s getting laid off from Arena.net, please know there are many great companies that would love to hire you (and you won’t have to move if you don’t want to)!
Ha, I went on to med school, so I’m distinctly in the “spend more money on a new degree” category....
Never enough rimworld mods. 1300 hours in an oh god it never stops once it has a hold on you.
Gotta love the unused degree (mine’s in aerospace engineering).
ARCTIC SCIENCE!
Was actully one of the “high-end” entertainers in SWG and for me that was always a blast. You had entertainers who macro their ability and were on 24/7 but afk 90% of the time. I wasnt one of them. Instead I played the class and made tips for all the crafters and the combat classes. Before I stopped playing I had a…
In the arena of colossal mistakes made by MMO developers, the combat update was just so painful. one day the SWG emulator project will actually come to fruition and I will take a long leave of absence from work to play.
SWG will forever and always be my favorite game. The launch community was unlike any other.
If you have Netflix, check out the documentary “The toys that made us” The episode on LEGO is awesome.
everything’s boring at low level (the entire game pre-30 is a very extended tutorial for Japanese console players with no MMO experience) but WHM is particularly bad since it’s the only healer that starts at level 1. there’s the nuke, the dot, two flavors of single target heal, the weak aoe heal, and that’s basically…
I once had a professional adult woman in her 30's copy-paste a Wikipedia TALK PAGE into our paper as her contribution. Not even the actual article! The talk page! I’m still baffled by that one.
Sigh. If I have to read one more comment about how this show is “too dark” and not “bright and fun” I’m gonna scream.
“I THAWWT I WAS GAWNNA DYYYYY!”
It always amuses me when people go with the “historical accuracy” and “immersion” crap, when talking about games like these. I mean, WTF are they talking about? I’m pretty sure that as far as historical accury goes, a WWII battlefield with a bunch of crazies aimlessly and carelessly running around like headless…
Yesterday, when I pointed out that the Total War series incorporates a lot of historical inaccuracies, I received a reply saying that all of my examples are “gameplay” and I couldn’t tell the difference between that and historical authenticity. So I’ll say this as a medieval literature scholar who has learned Latin…
I know some people in a very similar situation. They got engaged last year but apparently they are on the outs now. One spends all their time playing video games and the other spends all the time cleaning and cooking, both work in the same field and have dated for nearly 5 years. It’s sad to see it happen, but people…
