It's funny. I'm the only person I know who works in gambling but doesn't himself gamble (beyond poker, which you have control over to a degree, and even that I only do house games).
How can my coworkers watch so many people piss their money away and then join them as soon as their shift is over?
The same thing happened at the casino. Every dealer was a degenerate gambler themselves. And the poker room. And...I think you get the point.
I'll say one thing about Fallout 76, it has something the other Fallout games don't have; color.We'll be online tonight if you want to get "twinkled". (Have our high-level PCs craft/give you a bunch of top-level gear for your PC at your level.)
It's a thing.
EDIT: Of course last time someone was online and playing a game we were playing (I want to say it was TacticsLion and Age of Mythology), the group was uncomfortable having him join our TeamSpeak or anything else (there's a LONG history there; we've had bad luck in having 'friends of friends' join), so there wasn't much for him to do, making it a rather pointless exercise. (I tried.)
But at least in Fallout 76 you could show up, get some swag, and practice your emotes.
FO76 doesn’t allow cross-platform play, though. If you are on PC and CY is on PlayStation, you won’t find each other.
Edit: And anyway, I think CY was too proud to take all the ammo I was throwing at him this afternoon.
Er... Lara Croft guy is on XBox and we're on Windows, so although they're both Microsoft, I consider that "cross-platform".
Borderlands is the big "no cross-platform, EVER!" that I know of.
Edit: And anyway, I think CY was too proud to take all the ammo I was throwing at him this afternoon.
That just shows good game sense.
Ammo is a curse. I have around 10,000 rounds in my vending machine that I'd happily give to people for free because it's so hard to ditch.

I don’t know how that is possible. Bethesda has stated repeatedly that it is not possible.

It’s a lesson in patience. I consider it my zen. Lol
I completed the Motherlode mission and the T-fuse mission, without any glitches, then I went to take the dog on a short walk and Tiny T-Rex had commandeered the PS 4.
I found a Fatman though so I consider it a success. I can't use it yet but i will, some day.

The FO76 Fatman is a lesson in disappointment.

If you burn all 7 perk points (Grenadier 2 and Demolition Expert 5), put on power armor and hit things at fairly close range it's almost as good as a good combat shotgun.
Ah, well, looks like we're finally "rage quitting" this game for something more playable. Or at least more to my tastes...
...we'll see how long the "rage quit" lasts.
I don't get angry. I get bored.
I'm just playing pathfinder and waiting for star wars squadrons Y wing forever
I'm waiting for BG3.
It won't be as good as BG1 or BG2, of course it won't, but so long as there's continuity, that'll do.

Paradox resolved: Lara Croft guy uses a controller plugged into his PC. So it is indeed NOT going cross-platform. But listening to him constantly complain about how the 'controller interface is really messed up here' just made me assume he was on his XBox.

OK. This is just awesome fun. Lara Croft Guy's company just released an open beta. The first thing we saw was, "Tips from the devs ... read on for tips and tricks from some of the foremost experts at our studio."
"Hey! Are you on that board?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I'm just not."
"OK, guys. Just forget I said anything. Ignore the beta. Don't play!"
LOLOL. Nothing like pestering your dev friend into wanting to throttle you.
I'm trying to figure out if I should get the super duper hyper awesome version of Star Wars Squadrons that comes with Luke Skywalker's helmet, or just the regular download able version. Because I always wanted my own helmet. But I don't want Luke's.
I usually brush slices of eggplant with olive oil and toss them on the grill instead of breading and frying it.
No, it's not half as good, but it's far healthier, and so I lie to myself and pretend I like it just as well.
Sometimes I serve it over steamed quinoa instead of pasta.
I feel so ashamed.
If you want to remove some of the bitterness lay em out and sprinkle them with salt let them set for awhile then pat off the water.

New NSFW fun:
(1) Go to Amazon.com
(2) Search for "Tentacle"
GothBard was looking for towel hooks in the shape of tentacles. Searching for "tentacle hooks" provided no useful results. So she tried "tentacle" instead.
The results are... amazing...
I don't know If I would count that as new NH. I already expected something pretty NSFW if I search tentacle anywhere except maybe natgeo.

At least my tips are paid daily. That's how I'm gonna get through an eleven hour shift...looking forward to spending my tips (we made our budget based on my hourly) on buying ALL the weed.
I'm going on a cannabinge.

Second. And likely my last. Numbers didn't balance out cause I worked till 3am even though it was supposed to be midnight and I was too exhausted to add up right. I also made way less in tips than expected and need to prepare to ve fired, so there will be no binge reward. All in all it was a shitty day. But then this whole month has been.
Its 330 am. Hopefully I will feel better in the morning. Night.

My SO got me some lamb chops to cook up (I think at this point she is just having fun buying random stuff and seeing what I can do with it. ) Well this one is gonna be a good one. I'm gonna pan fry it like a steak season it with thyme garlic rosemary and parsley. make a pan sauce with lemon and white wine. serve with Greek potatoes which is potatos roasted in lemon garlic oregano and olive oil. she also wants me to do something with asparagus which im not sure of what yet for that.

I have a shirren envoy who has profession: fashion designer. It has been usefull more then once! He's got the icon theme, and he streams his fashion tips, how you, as a shirren with limited budget, can customise your clothes endlessly!My Starfinder story:
** spoiler omitted **
I have a registered Starfinder Society character named Craig who is a human soldier. He likes drinking beer and watching televised sports. He used to work in private security, but he joined the Starfinders so he can set his own hours.
I can’t wait to show up with him to a game. Everyone usually has zany, off-the-wall characters, and I think it would be hilarious to join them as a character with no special powers whatsoever.
I'll see if I can get Quentin to post about human steve.

Hmmm, I expected more naughty results than a bunch of tentacle erotic novels.
And my beloved "The Thing" on second or third page.

I've been summoned!
Human Steve is clearly an Android who thinks he's a human. He usually introduces himself with "Hello, I am Human Steve. I like doing human things, such as breathing, having emotions, and paying taxes," or a variation thereof. Whenever we're asked to do a thing, I usually reply with, "ooh, a stealth mission. Being stealthy is one of my favourite human hobbies!" (Replace "stealth" with whatever is applicable.)
In one mission we had to go undercover, so I disguised myself as an Android. At some point I had to break character, because I'd realised I was a human playing an android playing a human playing an android, and I needed to lie down for a bit.
I will admit I prefer Fallout 76 to Fallout 4 (which I have yet to finish, or even come close to finishing).
Yes, it's a mess, but the premise of being from a control group Vault and being the first to emerge to a new world is so much better than looking for your son after being frozen for two hundred years.

No. No it most assuredly is not.

He he! That's great! (Except for the "having to lie down for a bit" part).
{adjusts imaginary nerd glasses} In the Transformers: Prime TV cartoon, the Vehicons were the nameless look-alike Decepticon troops/mooks. At one point, fans decided to nickname whichever onscreen Red Shirt Vehicon that suffered abuse/damage/death (often undeserved) from his bosses (and the Autobot) as "Steve." Years later, during IDW's comic adaptation, Steve the Vehicon was officially made canon, having taken his name from a human advertisement.

Don't go to Okeechobee, Florida, if you want to avoid Covid. I went to a gas station and they were like two feet apart in a line of ten people, with not a mask or bandana to be seen. Someone grafitti'd "covid is a lie" by the sink and soap on the restroom.
Glad we live way outside of town. We love our new place so far. Moved in today.

What surprises me the most is that if you track by state, Texas is making a strong push to surpass California in total deaths (if not total cases), whereas Florida is just sitting there cheerfully in 5th place, not looking to pass anyone.
You'd think with all the nonsense going on there their numbers would be worse...

Oh, this brings back memories!
Shiro suggested that we all play the original EverQuest. Project 1999 made it possible.
So we all installed it, got it up and running...
...and GothBard and I can't connect at the same time because there's a "duplicate IP" blocker to prevent people from multi-boxing the game.
Nooooooooo... two people in the same household couldn't possibly want to play the same game at the same time. Who DOES that?
Yeah; there are a multitude of solutions: piggyback on my neighbor's wireless (if I install on a computer that actually HAS wireless), install OpenVPN to change my IP address, etc.
But I'm just not THAT desperate to play the original EverQuest. I'll go watch GothBard play.
