I work in an open concept office. It blows. I have 0 privacy and people are loud.

Sounds much like my initial WoW experience around 3mo after the initial launch. Friends talked me into it, played a LOT more than me, got to about lvl 35, and they burned out. I kept playing, beat them all to 60, and ended up getting into raiding. In the end, I was the only one who seriously stuck with the game, and I…

I agree. Frankly, I’m of the opinion we need a standardized charging standard before we really start pushing electric vehicles anyway. So far every manf has a different standard and plug, and it’s not good long term.

That’d be a P55 chipset, SATA2 only...though, it might have a “SATA3" controller on it. A lot of manfs went with a terrible Marvell controller then that was worse than SATA2.

I agree, 12 is probably fine. I’d recommend anyone building new today go with 16. RAM has gotten very cheap again, and 8 just doesn’t really cut it outside of light use. (especially if you’re a tab hoarder like some of my users...)

Welcome to raid leading. It never gets better. I used to help lead in WoW, and ghosting was always an issue. Ideally you pick up a few alternative players in your guild/whatever to them fill in when inevitably someone doesn’t make it because <reason> or just no-shows. (I’ve literally had players fall asleep at their…

most things can be done single player, outside of the raids. In fact, they can be more fun that way if you like a challenge. There is some forced MP, but almost all of it has matchmaking.

Oh, we’re just putting republicans in offices of power, even if they lost the election for senate.

Agreed. I lost of my copy of Seasons somewhere years ago unfortunately. I would love to play those games again, they were very good.

Honestly, hiccups aside, the launch has played better for me on Steam than it ever did on bnet. I haven’t gotten stuck loading or unable to click launch once yet.

Compared to some other game/expansion launches, the Shadowkeep launch has been downright smooth. A couple blips here or there for me the first day but no issues otherwise. Compared to a WoW launch, this was nothing. (I remember the BC launch having issues for weeks)

Hah, my cat used to greet me at the door every day I came home. As she got older, she’d just come over and sprawl on me, like a dog. I grew up with dogs and I love them, but really, I’m just an animal person. I love almost all of them.

In fact, I bought a house recently and saved myself/the seller about $12K and could have saved an additional $12K if I could have convinced her to dump her agent

That’s....every game ever really. NPC A: “You should be careful of the Forest of Death, it’s full of death!” 5m later: NPC B: “Hero, we need this really important mcguffin from the Forest of Death and you’re the only one that can get it for us!”

Here’s my super specific use case! I have 2 phones, one for work and one for personal. Given that I work IT, I do not wish to have 1 phone for everything. I connect my work phone to my vehicles BT during the week, and personal over the weekend/when I’m on vacation. Having to dive into the menus (while not difficult I…

Can I turn off Bluetooth with the swipe menu button again? This is literally the only feature I want. Disabling it for 24hrs is stupid. Dark mode seems nice though, I’ll probably use that.

I really enjoyed the story and characters, though I suppose it was a bit cliche. 

Graces was always a bit of a split opinion. Personally it's one of my favorites, but not everyone agrees.

Once, but to the cab company and not the police. Was driving to visit my parents for a Sunday dinner with (my now ex) wife and as we were approaching the end of the merge lane between highways, a cab guns it, cuts across the Gore lane, and almost hits me, then slows way the hell down. At that point I was pretty pissed…

I think I still have my original cart in storage. I played a ton of it when I was a kid, but I was never very good at it. But, it has a monster truck that does wheelies, and that was all 5 year old me needed.
