Custom race button below the eight playable races! Yeah!
Alkari ship designs are the most appealing to me. And the second set of Darlok ships...

Having no experience with any of these, I leave my choice up to the dice gods. 1d3....The dice have spokenOkay FAWTLs, fall in! FHDM needs your help making a decision.
As some of you know, I am a HUGE FIRE EMBLEM FAN although I tend to view the games as individual works as opposed to soe giant interconnected universe. The release of Fire Emblem Fates(if) Birthright and Conquest
So I am leaving it up to you, FAWTLs to decide which game I get today- Fire Emblem Fates(if) Conquest or Birthright.
VOTE AWAY DEEP 6 FAWTL!
...but there are only two games...

I vote Germanic. Because NobodysWife is a goth
Hmmm....
Favorite NobodysWife and I description: She desperately wants to go to "Bats in the Sun" day at Disneyland this year, and do a full-on Goth outfit. (She may even do her Lulu thing.)
Yup. It's time to implement THE PLAN.
Say, nobody, does this cloth smell like chloroform to you?

This thread has started moving faster. Plus I am way too busy lately.
Little-known fact: my "Morning, all. What did I miss?" started because I really wasn't going to read several pages of FAWTL posts since the previous day. After a while, we were only really posting a page per day, so me asking that was really just nostalgia - it wasn't that hard to keep up.
In honor of days of yore, and the fact that there are four pages of unread posts that I am probably not reading:
Afternoon, all! What did I miss?

I hate yard work, Freehold can't decide between East and West, Tac went to the fair with his kids, Aranna in Winry from FMA, cap loves the 50s, and NH's wife digs the color black.

...but there are only two games...I read it as fates, conquest or birthright, I told you upfront I had no experience 8>)
I'll take that as a vote for birthright then.

Freehold should choose North.
I will consider this a vote for conquest.

OK, my "polite" houseguests aren't quite clear on the whole, "Kill all other bugs in the house," thing.
They found Ms. Liz's crickets (our leopard gecko).
They deemed them "bugs".
They ate them.
Time for another trip to the pet store. Stupid ants! Can't they figure out what I want them to eat and what's off-limits?

So which game should I get? Conquest(germanic) or Birthright(japanese)?
Hm, evil vs. non-quite-so-evil.
...Is there a game where you play both evils against each other in order to institute a humanistic society which unifies both, and fights for the citizenry?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
That would be Asteroids... Or possibly Double Dragon.. maybe Contra.
So FaWtL: I have manipulated the Revised Cortex System into a variant of the D&D/3.5 Game based off of a whim when I was looking at an old Hordes of the Underdark walk-through book.
I need some people to test it.
Anyone want to build characters? I'll either post them here, or PM you the relevant rules, based on what you all think/want. Or, I'll start a new thread somewhere.
Any takers?

I believe that will happen in the dlc, which will be relased next month.
I find DLC to be an excuse to sell you a game multiple times, and patches an excuse to release unfinished bug filled pieces of crap so the players can finish playtesting because the companies were too cheap to hire enough proper testers.
I was spoiled growing up in the 80s and 90s, when a game worked the first time you bought it, and had all the content alluded to.

Seriously. Patches are an excuse for releasing a bug filled PoS. Why else would day one patches exist?

For every bugged major platform game you can think of from that era, my guess is you can think of ten from this one.

Vote for what now?
Hm. Unable to find my Neverwinter Nights in my GOG, Steam, or Origin accounts, and with absolutely no idea where I got it last time*, I decided to look up my backup hard drive. And, wouldn't you know it, I'd happened to copy it into the thing. So now I'm re-copying it back into this computer in hopes of running the thing again. No idea if it'll work, but here's hoping!
Also, daggum - I started this post when I started the download, and it's only 25 seconds remaining. Hah! Old games.
* I purchased it through Steam, however it sent me to a different games retailer. I really thought it was either Origin or GOG, but neither of those seem correct as GOG only has Dungeon Keeper and GOG only has Dragon Age: Origins and Jade Empire.

I might have project to write...Add 3, carry 2, multiply by 7... Wait... New Master Of Orion will be available in Early Access next week? $50 on Steam (which will mean some insane amount of money in euros because I can't buy things on Steam in dollars, because Europa. No matter that we don't have euros here, plus paypal's overpriced conversion rate). Crap. I need more projects.
Especially that the last expansion for Pillars Of Eternity just went live.
And I just bought Risen 3 because it was at half price on GOG.
No matter that I should start to earn money for actual living...
WHAT MASTER OF ORION?!?!? Details. And a good link.

Well, feh.
Last year NobodysWife's self-employment tax nailed us to the wall to the tune of $11,000 owed. It hurt. Greatly. (Yes, we were getting taxes taken out of our paychecks, but obviously nowhere near enough. Self-employment tax sucks.) Nothing like getting a refund every year for over a decade and then getting told, "Oh, by the way, this year you owe over 10 grand." The only bright note was that NobodysWife's extra income gave us enough to get a loan to pay our taxes. Yeah, weirdness.
So in 2015 she was unemployed for 3 months, otherwise had an employer, and so we weren't facing any self-employment tax. I figured it would be safe enough not to adjust our deductions and the cut in the self-employment tax would make a significant cut in the amount we owed.
Well, yes and no.
I guessed that no self-employment would save around 5 grand, and NobodysWife's reduced income would save us a bit more, plus her actually paying more in taxes.
So I set aside 5 grand for taxes, and $1000 for the accountant, all coming out of our annual Disneyland trip fund. And crossed my fingers that I'd be wrong, and my accountant would find some miracle money somewhere.
Unfortunately, I just got our returns today. And we owe $5100, plus $500 for the accountant.
Sometimes it sucks to be right... gonna have to tell the kids, "Sorry. It's a 5-day trip this year..."
EDIT: As I told Shiro's player, "Well, it's not like we're hurting for money. But the difference between a $5000 tax bill and a break even tax bill is the difference between 5 nights at the Paradise Pier and 7 nights at the Grand Californian."
...and now, you may all throw things at me for considering that a hard choice...

This morning the general and Pea Bear were both disappointed we were starting the bed building without them. It was nice out, so we waited, which was very disappointing to them.
So now i'll wait a bit longer and maybe play a video game and maybe watch something. :-)

Thanks. I appreciate it. But at least this year I was expecting it.
Last year I think I got a few gray hairs when I talked to my accountant expecting the usual $2000-$3000 back and finding out I owed so much.
I went to the bank the next day and said, "Er, now that my wife has a job, can I get a loan?"
It wasn't fun.

We had too many deductions, so our tax return is looking pretty outrageous this year.
