    Running through Classic with my group of high school friends was pretty damn magical. We all played together at launch and it was pretty much all we talked about between classes. We had all drifted away through the years with other responsibilities, but WoW brought us back together.

    We don’t play WoW anymore, but now we all hang out in discord all of the time and play other stuff. A few of us are setting aside time for Baldurs Gate 3 now!

    The games themselves have changed, but I think it’s the friends that can bring me back to a different time.





  • I just dipped my toe in the last few days or so. It’s missing some QoL that existed in previous versions.

    I run 3 monitors. My center one is my primary display with the other 2 just being extra real estate. I wanted my taskbar to be on the left monitor and out of the way. On W10, you’d unlock the taskbar, drag it to the monitor you wanted it, then lock it up again.

    W11 will either let you have it on all of your monitors or only your primary monitor. I don’t want all my stuff opening on a secondary monitor by default.

    I know it’s petty, but it’s frustrating to have an easy feature stripped




  • I am having fun with it. The only thing I’ve been super aggravated with is surveying planets. I love the concept, but it kinda sucks having to run thousands of meters to try to hunt down the last little space roach you need for completion. Traversal in general is the game’s weakest aspect. Lemme fly in low orbit to pinpoint where I want to land.

    I ran into some storage issues and I’m working to fix that now. The ship building tool is VERY clunky, but I love the ability to upgrade certain parts to my ship and junk.


  • I’m still in grocery retail and this is incredibly accurate. Corporate set expectations to be “Grand Opening Ready” throughout the entire day. Customers dig and dig through the produce department like there’s going to be a bag of salad that is magically better in the back of the case. If expiration dates went down to the second, they’d look for the furthest from expiry.

    It’s super frustrating because we get 7 trucks a week for produce, so we have a very healthy turnover on our stuff.

    This job has changed me (especially going through COVID in the South). People are animals.





  • I want to do it because it’s how a real TTRPG would play out. Your DM isn’t going to let you reload when combat goes poorly. It’s more about pride than it is honor.

    That being said, I started my run with that mentality and I changed my tune quickly. I try to not abuse it as much, but I feel like I’m missing out on fun side quests or something if I fail to pick a lock or screw up a conversation.

    Absolutely no judgement on people that save scum. No leaderboards. No MMR. You have your own fun.
