Oh yeah, I’ve seen a lot of those installs around the office. Bloody lovely stuff that.

I'm honestly surprised the wallpaper remained. (I ended up with a full-size server rack in my garage, which is far more of a PITA in a private residence than you'd imagine.)

Having a data center tech living with you may have helped, but I am definitely going to take my time to make it a feasible option when we can remodel. But dang, I would have loved to take a lot of things off my former employers hands.

I can only imagine that said worker saw the link at their top of the feed and assumed it was at the top for everyone. Which is a terrible lazy assumption.

Thanks for the offer, but I'd need more notice than that. :)

Working on setting up a regular Wednesday night session. Saturday and Sunday are other possibilities, but it would be alternating with our other games.

Weekend is shaping up to be pretty free. I would be up to run an online game of Blood on the Clocktower tomorrow evening while Cyz and the gang are busy with Scion, if anyone wants to learn.

Sunday will be dog training and Strange Aeons, followed up with board game night on Monday.

Huzzah!

Sovereign Citizens literally want to ignore the laws they don't like, but have the laws that protect them to still apply. Sorry. Can't have it both ways.

"The law must protect but not bind the in group, while binding but not protecting the outgroup."

This is the core of most of our problems, people not wanting the law to be applied equally across everyone.

Oh man, I haven't watched that in a long time.

Back at it with the weekly Clocktower game tomorrow morning. Watched the Good Time Society play a game with Dropout guests that was a wild time. Heck, here’s the link.

Testing out hosting our friends weekly drunk night shenanigans tomorrow afternoon. He’ll have marinaded chicken to cook for lunch/dinner, Xbox gaming and whatever else we come up with while the alcohol flows. I might even partake!

Sunday is a birthday party for a mutual friend, so I’ll finally get to deliver his Clocktower expansion. I probably won’t even let him pay for it.

Cyz was placed at her internship this morning. So that’s good news. And she doesn’t have to look at out of state options!

We removed alignment from our games without too much difficulty.

Nope. Higher.

Brighter?

It's important to keep up with traditions.

Blood on the Clocktower went really well today. The house has Scion on Saturday, while I will hopefully have more clocktower before they get started.

Strange Aeons continues on Sunday, then we’ll be back to The Initiative on Monday. Hopefully the new job doesn’t wear me out!

So what is different that is allowing that?

Or is it going to go the same way it always has?

But Starfinder society is allowing replays for everyone so what's the logic in that?

Are they?

Might head to La Madeline's when Cyz gets done at her office.

Going to be a step up, being the only IT guy in the company.

Yes. A bank just told me that the check's in the mail.

I mean, who else was the originator? :P

Got a quiet weekend here, just Blood on the Clocktower tomorrow before anime night on Monday.

Going to be me going forward, assuming I get this new position...

...

I should go back and get on that again. I never finished the game.

The forum inserts a space in urls when you don’t use the tags to make it a hyperlink.

I tell ya what, if you yahoos want to try Blood on the Clocktower I'll reup my sub to storytell on the online app for you.

Well, it's a lot easier when you're all in driving distance of each other!

This weekend we've got Strange Aeons and then board game night on Monday, where we should get a little further through The Initiative, once we've tried out Thunder Road: Vendetta for our puzzle-challenged team member.

Been trying to get together a big gaming weekend with out of town friends for awhile. Schedules just haven't aligned.

I know that no company is ever perfect, but Paizo seems to be making more unforced errors than usual after the remaster than they were before it. Even the much-promised rework of their online shop hasn't been without its issues. My question is: Has this change in quality worried you, and if so, how might it affect your purchases going forward?

No, but admittedly I buy the 2E books to support my local stores and have them look nice on my shelf.

I should have applied for the position you mentioned way back when. If there's openings, I'd absolutely look at them. Especially with opportunities to migrate.

Nah, restaurant sales are down, etc.

Hey, you know what else is the bane of IT? Having your position eliminated. Not that it was a surprise. So now I have more time to run games I guess.

So it seems like doing business with them without being a customer is the way to go.

Checks out. I used them for my first auto loan, through the military program that was guaranteed to provide credit for the purchase. I walked out with a 19.something interesting rate.

A month or two later and I talked to my credit union about a refi, I asked if they could do better and they offered 4.99%

I miss that truck.

Zoom is a bane against IT.

The weekend went well. Encountered the Guards and Wards spell in Strange Aeons and that was a an experience. But now my kineticist is 11th level!

We tried a new board game last night, The Initiative. Completed four chapters, made my brother really happy with the puzzle elements and breaking down encrypted clues. We just need to stop overthinking it, it’s designed for 8 year olds.

What's keeping us afloat while Cyz finishes school is student loans and three roommates. And even that part is precarious with two of the roommates becoming unemployed last year. Credit cards make up the emergency part of the equation, which I'm trying to get under control. Cyz's PhD prospects should cover paying off the loans and maintaining the household (even without my brother and our friends contributing) but I can't say it isn't a stressful thing. At least I have retirement accounts, that's more than some can say. Even if I treat them as 'if they survive' rather than an actual plan.

The cold makes my back seize pretty bad, otherwise I'd be amenable to getting out of the surface of the sun. People ask us how we survive, we tell them the same way they survive the white plague, traveling from bubble of protection to bubble of protection in our enclosed bubble of temperature.

Took the day off for my doctors appointment today. Not for any real need, just to make it a four day weekend.

In theory we have a stocked weekend, with Scion tomorrow and Strange Aeons on Sunday. Trying to put together a PFS scenario tonight, but that depends on my brother getting out of work on time.

It’s performance review time again here. I hate it.

That was my first contract with the military. Become a sergeant? You mean one of the guys that walks back into the office after final formation instead of heading to my room? For $200 more a month? No thanks!

Nah, there's plenty in there for all ages.

I don’t see the doubling effect on Belkar, so I assume his alignment and protection is working normally.

Yesterday was a huge success here at least. Had the drunk night crew over, with multiple Xbox setups playing games and chicken dip and drinks. I got to run two games of Blood on the Clocktower and then they had a run of Magic afterwards while pizza bagels were cooked up for dinner. And I think only one person got sick, so that’s not a bad record.

Sorry to hear you missed out Cal, that sucks.

We ended up playing Landmarks instead of Spirit Island. Some of those maps are punishing. I didn't get one like that, my map had the exit two spaces away from the starting spaces. So that was a short game with no treasure and no traps. XP

Got a teaching session set up with Ken from Ad Astra Games this afternoon, we're going to learn his space combat game that works with Traveler. No idea if we'll ever use it, but it's cool to learn from the author!

We rang in the new year with a round of Spirit Island after the return of our prodigal son. (I’m surprised his family didn’t keep him away until this weekend.)

I suspect we’ll get another game in today sometime before Cyz goes back to work tomorrow. I’ve barely known what to do with myself, spending the rest of my PTO and having mom visiting for two weeks.

There's nothing saying you have to give them your number either. Maybe try 555-555-5555 next time?

Oh dang, I should check my pledge and see if I got that.

I just cleaned and organized the flamethrower shelf at work last week.

…the what now?

Winter solstice party at a friends house, he made a perfect brisket today. All that practice the past years has paid off.

I recommend Dylan Hollis. We have both of his books.
