Mine was Gip. He was also a good pig.

Well, I learned something last night: If you make a co-op game hard enough, it can get nearly as snarky as a PvP game.
With little else to do, we've been hitting the dailies in Phasmophobia and then doing a quest in Left 4 Dead. Against Shiro's better judgement, we decided to try Left 4 Dead 2. It's significantly harder, with everyone having to play well to survive a chapter. So Lara Croft guy's habit of playing multiplayer like a solo player who just happens to be online with the other players isn't cutting it.
GothBard: Well, I'm down.
NobodysHome: I'll pick up the quest item, you revive GothBard.
Shiro: I'm on it! Lara Croft guy, cover us. Er, Lara Croft guy? Lara Croft guy?
Lara Croft Guy: I don't know what you guys are doing! I'm already at the turn-in point!
In short, he simply ran ahead to the turn-in without the quest item and left the rest of us behind to manage on our own. And in a game that's scaled so that you can barely survive with 4 people, that's a party wipe.
And it happened multiple times last night. Leading to a LOT of sniping of, "Can you PLEASE stay with the group and work with us?", "Well, we have to keep moving or we get swarmed, so if you're not going to move I'm going ahead."
Lots of grar.

Best comment I saw this week about GameStop/Reddit/etc:
"You can't call yourself Robinhood if you actively try to stop people from taking money from the rich. They should at the very least have to change their name."

Wait a minute, that's what I do.
Hershey's makes chocolate?But I'm not that old. I never remember Ghirardelli ever being any good...
It's still better than that vomity sludge Hershey puts out.
Edit: It occurs to me I only ever buy Ghirardelli chocolate chips for baking (which get snacked on and never end up actually baked) so I'm not sure if their bars are the same quality or worse.
Oh, you guys and your chocolate snobbery~!
:V
(I... I actually like Hersey's. There, I said it.)

Game of Thrones is incredibly predictable.
Well done, no Fargo, Breaking Bad, or Stranger Things by any means but well done.
And predictable, so very predictable.

So, I'm guessing some Epic Snark from Goth Bard; cold, prim politeness from you; and Shiro just quietly arranging things so karma will eventually fall where it needs to?

Nah. Shiro was snarking on him, too. It's been really bad.
From Divinity 2 to Pathfinder to Dungeon Siege 3 to Left 4 Dead to Phasmophobia, the group is always having issues with him ignoring the team. And Shiro's just started letting him have it every time he does, and it's getting a bit tense.
(And in case anyone's wondering how you can possibly not be a team player in Phasmophobia, we all had our roles: Shiro checked for fingerprints, took photos, and put out the ghost book; I put in the protective measures; GothBard searched for the correct room with the thermometer; Lara Croft guy put in sensors and support equipment. He got tired of GothBard always finding the ghost, so without telling anyone, he stopped bringing any equipment, grabbed a second thermometer, and started trying to run off on his own to find the ghost faster than she did. He claims it's more efficient. But it's a heck of a lot more efficient to have all the gear in hand to drop on the ghost's room at once instead of two people having to run out at once because they have identical gear.)

In other news, the boss has decided that what we need in our room is a LIVING WALL. I always thought a LIVING WALL was a hideous melange of stitched-together body parts, howling in rage and torment as it lashed out at you with a variety of viciously clawed appendages, but apparently not - it's a series of 3ft square bits of plastic vegetation, so I don't really see what's living about it, unless it comes to life at night and skips about the office performing routine maintenance tasks if you leave a bowl of milk out for it or summat.

I had actual pigs, which I unfortunately had to actually kill in order to have ham and bacon.We had as well. We just gave them all the same name so we could pretend it was the same pig.
That's not how my mom worked, every animal was given a name and taken care of and then murdered with their meat labelled by name on every package.
People say it's better this way, those people are f&%%ing a*&%@*!s.
My mom was an amazing person that left the world a better place but she was an a@$!&%% sometimes.

Well, that's the sweet vengeance of the game. If you wander off and let the rest of the party die because you'd rather take a shortcut without telling them, then you're doomed. It's impossible to finish a scene solo.

I installed Dishonored...
And the controlls refused to work. I noticed first that something is off when the game told me that mouse is used to look around and I couldn't. Actually the game was unresponsive from the start and ignored <press any key> for an extended period of time. I thought for a moment it turned off the mouse and the keyboard and I might need to do the hard reset.
Apparently others had the same issue.
EDIT: Problem solved. At least for now. It was result of the game being blocked by the firewall.
