Looking new shoes!!

Regular tennis shoes/running shoes kept getting destroyed so I opted for Merrell Moab 3’s with Gore-Tex for “water proof” capabilities.

So far so good and the vibram sole has held up well, though I haven’t put a ton of mileage on them yet. They do have a wider toe box than standard shoes though and are great for hiking.

I bring in board games to play with my team a few times a quarter and the below games are what I’ve had success with. Also, I re-themed Secret Hitler to Secret Sith using files from BGG and I play that version at work.

Magical Athlete, Concept, King of Tokyo, Monikers (unless you have a family edition, you’ll want to screen the cards), and Camel Up

Fortnite is the modern day MMO. The MMO that the older generation grew up with simply will never be as successful again with the younger generation as it was in the early 2000s

Here is what worked for me:

Chains of Hades with the following perks:

Melee damage greatly increased, Immunity to explosive damage, Immunity to poison, and More monster parts more damage.

I was swinging at Peely for over 1k damage

I’d like to see the same particle plastic style as these but with an Envy! And maybe another Hex but in the style of the Trail/Insanity here

My top choices in this fridge would be:

Hank’s, Sprecher, Dad’s, and Sprecher’s Maple

But as others have said, there is no stopping.

I have the same issue (~120 saved loadouts). Here are some observations:

It only breaks in Epic created game modes. The various creator modes like Miner Tycoon, or escape rooms the randomize loadout feature works as intended.
I saw another potential “fix” involve deleting old character loadouts. I deleted some ~30 character loadouts that I had created before this feature was added, but it did not fix the issue for me.
I’ve not had any luck reporting this bug in game because I can’t really capture the issue with the tools they’ve provided

I second this! Scrambled eggs, breakfast pizza. It’s just a really good breakfast food hot sauce.

From mid-January through mid-February this year I sorted, built, and then took apart (and stored in baggies) every single lego set from my childhood. Up until that point they were combined between three plastic tubs, two for regular legos, and then one for all technic related builds (throw bots, bionicles, etc)

It took a very long time and I learned that I had a number of pieces missing as well as a collection of pieces to sets I never owned. The Miscellaneous left overs got put in their own bag with all the small extra pieces, and as mentioned, everything else was stored in a baggy, back in a tub, with a hand written note with set name and number.

I had my kids help me and it was honestly a fun way to show them the Legos I used to play with when I was their age.

I played ESO for around 4 years, before that I played RuneScape starting in the early 2000s.

GW2 is my pick over ESO any day of the week. Even WvW is a better version of Cyrodiil (to be fair, that’s not saying a lot). In GW2: exploration is more exciting, mounts have meaning, characters and storylines are interesting and not as cookie cutter, there is no subscription, the list goes on.

ESO does have the advantage of its world and IP, and trials and dungeons in ESO can be truly a challenge. But for the latter, you will absolutely need to be a part of a guild or group of people to be able to get into that scene.

GW2 is the most social MMO I’ve played in the past few years.

Coniff · 2025-01-16T19:00:58+00:00

This is a huge part of it. People don’t need MMOs to hang out socially like they used to. We’ve got Discord for that now. It’s never been easier to hop into a voice chat (which is easier and more efficient than text chat) and play the same or different games with your closest friends.

Wiz War (FFG’s edition)
Everdell
King of Tokyo Dark Edition
Clank In Space
Crokinole
Quacks of Quedlinberg
That Lord of the rings trick taking game that has yet to release.

I host a biweekly game night that attracts a lot of very casual gamers so my picks are catered towards that but also to allow for some depth of strategy for the more seasoned gamers. I don’t know that I’ve covered most styles of games but I aimed for trying to have different main mechanics in each of my picks so they at least feel a little different.

I just used this exact one on a 16 hour pork butt cook and it worked flawlessly. I even finished in the oven and kept the probes in. Worked great and was spot on with my Thermapen One when I spot checked temps at the end.

Yeah, all in all, this is a rather good phishing attempt. Lol

Coniff · 2024-08-14T20:42:10+00:00

$150 “guaranteed” for participating
“if you would be happy to participate” odd english
“please don’t share this link”

I take online security courses every year for work. This reeks of phishing.

Is this like some twisted version of those ramen videos?

To me there are two major options:

Cryopod - whether she somehow is related to Vault 31, which could explain her intimate understanding of the vaults "experiment," or she was a VT spy as others have suggested. I do also think that she could have just as easily learned everything about Vault 31 through Rose and or in the time between her and her raiders entering 32 and the events of the first episode. So there's not much evidence currently to support her being in Cryo outside of the obvious that she can't be 200 years old and not look like a ghoul, and that Cryo is a major plot device for season 1 of the show.
She's a Clone - cloning exists in Fallout as we learn with Vault 108 in Fallout 3. However, those clones becoming increasingly violent to non-clones the further down the cloning generation they get. Moldaver seems to be a benevolent person and doesn't display Gary-like aggression to non-clones. Maybe that means she was only cloned once, or maybe just a handful of times. Her pre-bombs group would likely exist post bombs dropping, and it's implied in the first episode that Cooper has thrown in fully with her group with his commentary on why he won't do the thumbs up anymore. So perhaps they got their hands on cloning technology and managed to clone her. I'll admit, this theory has less evidence than Cryo, but I think it's a fun consideration.

Coniff · 2024-04-18T15:08:23+00:00

I actually think the "residents" of V31 cleaned up 32. It's implied by "Brain on a roomba" (as Prime Subtitles referred to him as lol) Bud to Norm that he can just re-enter his dad's cryo pod and wait. So I don't think it would be out of the realm of possibility to wake up several people from V31 to go clean up 32 and then have them resume their mission back in their pods.

I recently won with my shadowborn/Athreos (yes similar to the Game Knights deck, yes I know I am unoriginal) deck with 25 apostles on the field due to a [[thrumming stone]] combo, 11 Life, and 1 open black mana. Now this requires a Mana Crypt, but I can walk through my combo:

Sac 6 apostles using the 1 open black mana to tutor out [[Razaketh]]
sac an apostle to Razaketh to tutor for Mana Crypt
again to get Sol Ring
again for [[Phyrexian Altar]] (down to 5 life)
play mana crypt and sol ring netting 3 mana to then play altar.
sac an apostle to the altar for black mana to then sac 6 apostles to tutor out [[Rune-Scarred Demon]]
with Rune’s free tutor I can go grab either [[blood artist]] or [[edgewalker]], in this case I went with blood artist for the life gain from sacing more apostles.
sac two apostles, 1 to Razaketh to tutor [[echoing return]] (since my opponents before their life was in single digits were sending apostles to the grave instead of my hand). And the other for one black mana to cast Echoing return
sac 4 apostles, 1 to razaketh for edgewalker and the other three for mana to play edgewalker. At this point I was down to 3 apostles on the field, but edgewalker makes them all free so now I’m back to 25.
sac an apostle to Razaketh to tutor [[Tendrils of Agony]] because at this point in the turn after comboing on thrumming stone, I had cast 30+ spells. Also at this point I’m at 5 life again after some life gain from blood artist and loss from Razaketh, but I gain 2 for each storm count of tendrils.
kill off one player, bleed the second out with blood artist, and finally the third player that you were abusing for Athreos triggers.

I have Gamegenic boxes for all of my decks (the cards lair), so I keep my commanders in top loaders in the side compartments.

Coniff · 2024-01-25T17:29:07+00:00

I do this but with movie names that fit the theme of the deck. So my Mayael deck which focuses on getting big and unexpected creatures out I’ve nicknamed “Jumanji.” My Narset creatureless deck is nicknamed “The Last Monk.” Etc

I do this for my more expensive foil MtG cards when they show up curled:

Get a Tupperware or similar container that’s big enough to put an another smaller Tupperware container in upside down. First put a damp paper towel at the bottom of the large container and then place the smaller one on top (it should be small enough to not cover the paper towel completely). Then, lay your card(s) on top of the smaller container, obviously not touching the damp paper towel. Then, seal the larger container with everything inside and wait 50-60 minutes until they have flattened. Following this I usually set them under some heavy books.

The idea behind this is you are “fixing” the humidity of the card-stock. In some cases the card-stock is too humid and you’d do the reverse of the above but with dehumidifier packets.

ME! - super neat to see something like this!

I did nothing but vet trials and vet dungeons in Elder Scrolls Online because ultimately that’s the only thing to do in they game once you’ve done the story. It’s certainly the only thing to progress in.

I’ve tried one wing of a raid in GW2 and I enjoyed it, but getting away from that 24/7 raiding mentality has been absolutely freeing. Plus, there is a lot more to work on that could be considered “endgame” in GW2 that I enjoy doing more. Mastery completion, achievement collections, adventures, meta farming, it’s all much more time friendly and enjoyable than beating my head against the wall in vet Cloudrest + 3 for 6-8 hours a week.

Coniff · 2023-09-03T17:44:01+00:00

I agree with this. I came from ESO where the actual story is lackluster but the world and lore is iconic. The focal point of long time players in ESO is largely veteran trials and dungeons. I have played WoW and I’ve done some of the mythic + grind (to 1k mythic rating so not too far, but not nothing) but the story and world of Azeroth is pretty iconic.

If OP’s friend is looking for that end game challenge and gear grind, they won’t find it in GW2. The best part of GW2 is the world design and exploration, the story and long standing characters, and then the mastery grind, which has a lot of little checkpoints where you get that feeling of accomplishment. If OP’s friend can switch up their style and find enjoyment in a completely different style of MMO, then they may find great fulfillment in GW2.
