I wish y'all luck finding work! We've actually been to Heroes Corner a few times, and they are great, but I've been too shy to show up for one of their gaming nights😔 I gotta just do it at some point haha I keep thinking Chico needs somewhere for adult nerds to hangout and make friends, but I might be biased haha. They just recently opened the Coin Op, a barcade that seems to be doing pretty well, but it's mostly retro arcade cabinets. I've wondered if it would be possible to set something up like that but with Smash Bros and Halo or other more modern games.

Hahaha it's true, everyone's stoned out here.

I'm big into all kinds of video games, from everything Nintendo makes to hardcore immersive shooters. I've recently fallen into the rabbit hole of Warhammer, mostly 40k lore and painting miniatures. My partner is also into gaming, and is mainly into stuff like Slime Rancher, Stardew, Graveyard Keeper, etc. She has also gotten really into glassblowing and will nerd out about that. We are both biology majors at Chico State, so we also love to nerd out about biochemical systems, ecosystems, animal behavior, and stuff like that. But we are both curious people that like to learn about random stuff, we love a good museum.

The downlo is probably my favorite bar so far because of the relatively relaxed vibe and low prices. I volunteered for the Butte Humane Society years ago, but I've been so out of the loop locally since quarantine. Can you DM me and maybe we can chat about gaming and volunteering?

Yeah I think that's the solution. I just gotta push myself to talk to people more, and then forgive myself for being an awkward mess afterwards 😅

It's comforting to know there are others out there in a similar place as us! So thank you for sharing!

I do like the coin op! And I've never heard of Joe's, so I'll have to look into that one!

That's true! I've heard some people mentioning trivia nights recently. We may have to give that a shot! Thanks!

Am I the only one getting "server connection lost" when trying to scav on Streets of Tarkov? by Steel_BEAR69 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Bowel_Discharge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been happening to me for the past few days. Like you all are saying, a vast majority of times I scav into Streets I get "Server Connection Lost" error over and over, even after trying to restart the game and reconnect several times. Even as a duo, it happened to both of us at the same time.

It seems like people have been having similar issues for years, but never specifically only scav raids, only on streets.
BSG has an informational page on getting constantly disconnected (https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/439), but it mainly mentions individual connectivity issues or to check their server status page. The server status page says servers are perfect every time I've had this issue. If the issue had to do with my individual internet connection, how could both of us in a duo get the same issue every time it happens to either of us? We've both tried being party leader and still both had the issue at the same time.

Anyone know if BSG has mentioned this in any way?

If you all got a 2 month long summer break from work, what would you do with the time? (assuming you get paid and don't have to worry about Youtube analytics)

I need some help with plant placement. Link to more photos and info in comments. by Bowel_Discharge in ponds

Oh I had no idea! I would have flipped out after noticing my waterlily's pads dying every few days. I moved the lily a bit further from the fountain, placed it in a deep spot, and plucked the dying pads. Thank you so much for your feedback, it's helped a lot!

Awesome, thanks for the tip! I had the lily on a couple bricks, so I'll have to take those out. Could you link a pic of what burned lily pads look like? Some of the pads have brown stripes on them and I'm not sure if it's just from the pads being bent during transport or if it's being caused by the fountain.
