It's nice of Daybreak that they allowed for free classic server. *looks at the classic EQ pictures* I have no intent of giving it a try, though. Descriptions of gameplay are not encouraging either.

I didn't quite make it to the lumber yard, while walking there I stopped by the derelict amusement park that what's her name suggested. So, first of all, it's infested with those scorched a++!%~#s, who are more annoying than dangerous at this point, and then I get up to the guy and his big idea is to "turn invisible and murder everyone while you're on the astral plane".

Yeah, I'm not sure that's going to work with my complete lack of subtlety.

All he wants for his astral plane doohickeys was an egg from some island, which to be honest, sounded like a death trap. After I wasted a clip trying to shoot him to take his doohickeys I set out determined to die. However, on the way I discovered this quaint little dirt racing track that my mission tracker says I can gain control of the workshop. Fortunately, murdering everyone in a bloodbath at a dirt racing track is on my bucket list, so I pulled out my handy dandy golf club and went to town on the scorched squatters infesting the place. So I fortified the place with a bunch of turrets, installed a mineral extractor and a quaint little shack.

But, because Fallout 76 apparently encourages other people to conquer places to incite PvP violence I fully anticipate it to be a smoking ruin the next time I play it.

Either way, I'm nearly to the lumber mill where I'll either die, or die a bunch of times, or I'll try talking them down with my 1 charisma (I might be able to intimidate them, I've had some success with that) and then die or die a bunch of times.

Also, I finally discovered what that whole Legendary Run option in the menu is about so I'm not as cap and ammo poor as I was, plus I made a whole bunch of Molotov cocktails (and opossum bacon, you can't have enough opossum bacon).


I've never had the urge to play Fallout, Borderlands, or any of those other things (my last video game obsessions were the original Diablo and Age of Empires II), but at some point, when I have something resembling extra time, I want to actually figure out how to download "The Neverhood" and make it work on my laptop. One of my favorite games EVAH.

No killing, only puzzles, and the entire set was built with something like two tons of clay, then stop-motion animated.

Well, I have to admit, you kind of expect the guys who ported the original EverQuest to their own free servers to be a bit over-the-top geeky, but you can file a formal IP exemption request to allow two players to play at the same IP at the same time.

So yeah, I filed the request on a Sunday afternoon. Let's see just how geeky they are...

Oh yeah, that island that guy wanted me to get an egg from was called Deathclaw Island and that egg I poached was a Deathclaw egg.

I'm sure it will all end well for everyone.

You are only PvP bait while you are in the workshop, so just don’t hang out there for long (and stash your scrap if possible so you don’t lose it if you get killed). Also, you don’t keep the workshop when you log out. But the workshops have their own materials, so you’re usually not wasting your own stuff when you build them up.

Speaking of which, if you want to minimize PvP, you can select “pacifist” in the settings menu, which prevents you from accidentally harming other players and triggering PvP scenarios.

Anyway, I really want to hear how your encounter at the lumber mill goes. That’s a newer quest, and what’s great about it is there is no wrong way to go about it.

I offered them a cut of the treasure I might hypothetically might find which Trudy (I'm just going to call her Trudy as Fallout always has someone named Trudy and I can't remember her f&$+ing name) might hypothetically know how to find. Fortunately after leaving the building after cutting a deal with the leader for a cut of the treasure something had murdered all the Free Radicals (honestly I just couldn't bring myself to killing a whole bunch of people that call themselves Free Radicals, blame my hippie dad).

So problem solved!

I played for about an hour before dinner this evening. I made it across the bridge. In fairness, it's a long bridge, there was a lot of ghouls and I'd just found a Chinese officer's sword.

Kudos to technology for having graphics that are so good they trigger my fear of heights, or maybe it was because I was afraid of respawning back on the other side of the bridge.

Ahhh, how I haven't missed that. Lady comes in, says she has a reservation. I don't see one, and suggest that maybe she's supposed to be next door. She insists that it is for here. It isn't in the computer. Eventually, after 5 minutes of me suggesting she check her confirmation email and her telling me that I suck at my job, she checks the email. And, lo and behold!, it's for next door. So she storms out the door, cursing me for wasting her time.

At least she was wearing a mask.

My dog is a black mouth cur (Old Yeller's breed) and labrador mix.

Wild rabbits are everywhere outside.

Taking him for a walk and breaking his instinct to kill them at sight has been fun. Now he yanks and gives the hunting dog pointing signal by instinct. It's an improvement.

So he loved it here. And the baby slept throughout the night without issue.

And our neighbor brought us a joint as a housewarming gift.

It was a good first day by the river. (Our across the street neighbor is ON the Kissimmee River; you can SEE the catfish it's so clear - guess I'm learning to fish)

It took four cameras, OBS, discord, a desktop to manage video and a laptop to handle audio, but the first virtual game with dwarven forge was a success. We finished the dungeon of doom and laid Sysool to rest.

Having wrapped up that campaign, we will return to the world of the Black Company and tidy up a lingering campaign thread there.

After that, probably plaguestone assuming the dwarven forge set up for that arrives in a timely fashion.

So, here's the thing that kills me about working for Global Megacorporation:

Two Years Ago: We're retiring this file management tool in favor of this new one. Here's all the training you need, and we'll be turning off the old one by the end of the year!

One Year Ago: We've noticed that a lot of people haven't moved to the new file management tool, so we're extending the deadline by 6 months, but we're really, really serious. If you haven't moved in the next 6 months, you're going to lose all your files.

This morning: "Here you go, NobodysHome! I posted all the files you need on the old file management tool!"

In short, there is *no* enforcement of standards whatsoever, and people can continue using whatever obsolete tool they please and face no discipline for it whatsoever.

My favorite example? One of our more significant tools still uses Flash. Google Chrome is ending all Flash support at the end of this year. Are we just going to tell all our users that our products no longer support Google Chrome, or are we going to force our engineers to join the 21st century?

And it's pretty much on an annual basis.
IT: Here's an upgrade were making!
Users: Nope. Not going to do it.
IT: OK. I guess we'll have to support every legacy system for eternity, because we're not allowed to/don't have the spine to actually enforce our own policies...

Well, today is a nice demonstration of getting everything done ahead of time.

Way back in early August our contractor said, "I can probably start on the 17th or the 24th."
GothBard responded, "That sounds great!"

So last week I had a week off and spent it on my final assault on our mountain-o-crap. I have reduced 50 years of excess junk into a few molehills' worth, plus a few untouched out-of-the-way areas.

The end of my unending crap heap is in sight, and I may even be done before the end of the year! *gasp*!

The point is, however, that I had enough space to clear out everything for the contractors: They have full access to the side yard, in the French doors, and to the bathroom to do their work.

Needless to say, they didn't show up today, but everything was ready so there was no last-second panic of, "Oh, carp! Since you didn't text back I don't have anything ready! Can you give me a couple of hours?"

We're ready when they are, even if it's in a week or two.

And I can continue my assault on the remaining molehills.

I'll be interested in what you think.

Our tech pubs group swears by them. Our professional video group refuses to let us use them because they think the quality is too low. (And I'll admit, I sent them a set of audio files and they rejected the Yeti one.)

So some people swear by them, and some people say they're really not all that good. Interested in hearing your view.


I got based on the fact that all the online gaming (roleplaying, not video games like LoL) folks swear by them. While some of the more sophisticated folks are using lavaliere type mikes, the folks at CR and some similar streams are using the Blue Yeti.

I was having some trouble integrating OBS with Discord when I was relying on the microphone in my logitech ball webcam to the point where I had to have my laptop active (in addition to the desktop running OBS) to get my voice/hear my players. I am hoping with this dedicated audio source, I can turn off all the others and just use the Yeti without any feedback loops or such.

We shall see. I am waiting on another set of speakers to see if that was the source of the feedback. So, I will try to check back in after next session in a couple of weeks.

Yesterday’s Strange Aeons game was the first time I had killed off a PC in many years. The guilt of it all! She whiffed both saves against phantasmal killer - a natural 1 followed by a 2.

I kind of bent over backwards to give them access to someone who could cast raise dead despite them being in a relatively remote and inhospitable area.


My relief is here. Have a good evening, everyone.

Remote location? You should have them meet a druid. Reincarnation for everyone!
