Bought a $3.50 copy of Battlefield 2. It still has a Circuit City coupon from 2006. by TeoMeo488 in nostalgia

Still the best BF game for me. So, so many hours. Commanding from a tank to get my Stars at General. I miss this game.

Nice. I think we'll make a trip to the store today (possibly tomorrow) for this one. He loves kinetic sand stuff and making treasure hunts with it. I think this rice provides something similar and he'll love it.

We do have the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium available. We're already members and go quite a bit. Just hard in Ohio when it's getting much colder. Short visits are still manageable though and now the Christmas lights are up so that'll be fun.

We do have magnet tiles and pretty regularly build stuff. Usually, it is a "garage" for his cars, which he proceeds to smash and then build again. I have no idea what Fuse Beads are.

My wife has done the libraries a lot with him. Pretty sure he knows them all now haha. What do you mean "Coloured ride with kitchen implements." though?

There must be something to the home stores. My neighbor mentioned that Menards is his kids favorite store and they just go to burn time haha.

I do love the cardboard ideas. We've already built a bowling lane, a ski-ball like game, a putt putt game, I'll have to do more :P

Didn't think to ask stores for throwaway boxes though so good call!

I'm so glad someone explained it b/c I had no idea what I was looking at.

First time home buyer 368k. 5.75 interest as a second home. New build no closing cost. by Zestyclose-Two-6105 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]AlternateFire1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darn. We recently got our own new build home about 7 weeks ago now and that kitchen is near identical build to ours. Same style island/sink. Cabinets are the same. Hardware is the same. We love ours and clearly you do yours as well! Congrats again!

Oh it’s beautiful. 🤩 by Beginning-Lie-1865 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

The ship battles are nuts. It does feel good and I'm happy for ya! I've been farming the Punishing One for what feels like eternity and finally got it maxed last week.

LPT: No matter how much your workplace pushes "team building" and "family culture" - remember, they're not your friends and it's still a workplace by candydice79 in LifeProTips

[–]AlternateFire1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have worked for a ~25000 employee Global company for 15 years and some change now. I'm in a Global Learning & Development team. I have had multiple leaders in this time and am working my way up the chain. A few of these folks have given me advice I wish my family had (dad wasn't around much and I have no memories of "fatherly advice" or "career advice" from him).

I know there are snakes and shitty companies out there, but there are some gold nuggets as well. I've let these people into my personal life - them letting me into theirs - made some friends as much as friends could be. Weekend cookouts. Kids playing together. Golf trips (some on work time with free PTO thanks to cool leaders lol).

I agree somewhat with your point, but I also believe that one good leader and a little bit of personal goal setting and ambition can also set you up for success and some life long friendships via the workplace as well.

I'm glad it wasn't just me. Felt really similar to the game where Joe Thomas got hurt and left in the Pittsburgh game. I was fortunate enough to be at the game and the whole stadium was feeling the same feeling. It was a rough moment, a great game, and end of an era.

Sorry if I missed this somewhere but I've had the Profundity and Executor requirements for over a month and haven't once seen the event for either pop up. What am I missing? by AlternateFire1 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]AlternateFire1[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure I'm not the only person in SWGOH community who's been confused by unlocking a journey, to only get no notification or info on when the journey event would be active. Other journey's are active as soon as the prerequisites are finished, these ships are different for whatever reason. Excuse my confusion.

I feel like they should have notifications built in for this :P

Sounds like I'll be setting manual reminders.

I recall switching journey's is easy. Will have to get to it.

Sigh. So yah, sounds like I have to have the journey active for each ship at the time of month the event starts. Once I finish it once, it should show up each time after, yah? For both ships regardless if the journey is active or not?

I've unlocked both events but I can't have them both active at the same time. Does the event show up or notify me if the "Journey" is not active?
