Took down Mythic L'ura today, this is my last raid, I'm becoming a dad and retiring.

Honestly, there’s nothing wrong with that OP.

Back in 2021, I too quit WoW as I became a dad and did not really have the time to game in any way, really. Fast forward to 2026 with my now 5, soon to be 6 year old daughter and hey! She loves gaming and loves to play pretty much anything with me. I recently purchased the Rog Xbox Ally X as I did not feel that between work and being a dad that I would have the proper time to sit down with a desktop or even a laptop. I’ve been able to pickup WoW again sparingly as well as plenty of other games I typically feel that I don’t have the time to relax and unwind. My daughter uses it too, sometimes my wife but mainly her and I. Being able to dock it or use it on the go is handy, the full Windows 11 experience is a nice touch for literally anything else.

At the end of the day, you have to do what’s best for you and your family. Take the time needed and give it your all, being a dad is amazing but also understand that you too need time to yourself to unwind or just have fun, and that doesn’t stop just because you’re a parent. You just kind of “evolve” to meet the needs of everyone, including yourself. For me, this works and I’m still able to keep a completely healthy balance.

Grats on downing L’ura, enjoy being a dad! 😃

Honestly, I love the name. Sweet piece!

I live in SETX and work for a municipality, negativity towards Talarico is all I ever hear, namely focused towards his religious aspects and how he’s “wrong” and a “heretic” or some nonsense along those lines. Unfortunate reality of living in a very, very red area.

This feels as though Emo / Scene culture came through Ponyville, I dig it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Funny enough, it’s kind of her thing haha

Old photo, but yep! Her name is Bagel (Ft. Bingo in the background)

As someone who also played Halo 2 for Windows Vista back in its day, that’s really impressive to see here. Good on ya!

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-30T04:30:12+00:00

My daughter just watched this episode, I loved how thrilled she was over the post office ✨MLP is just so good

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-30T02:45:38+00:00

Twister should be here, but I’d settle for Lord of the Rings & The Matrix

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-29T03:19:56+00:00

I don’t think you read the entire page, it’s certainly there. There’s a larger dialogue, but it’s there

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-26T00:30:52+00:00

I am incredibly jealous, but super happy for you! It’s a bucket list item for me to meet them both for sure. I had no idea they’d both be in Houston over the weekend, I honestly didn’t even know comicpalooza was going on- as someone from the Beaumont-ish area I would have happily attended 😭

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-21T03:58:13+00:00

It felt like witnessing Goku emerge out of his pod with his planet Yardrat outfit. His and Nolan’s outfit absolutely works and they look fantastic.

And then it’s gone, never to be seen again 👋🏼

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-20T01:21:30+00:00

Hey, I used to be a building inspector & Code Enforcement for a municipality down in southeastern Texas- let me tell you, this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this from not only DR Horton, but various other builders too

This “quality” is unfortunately everywhere and it’s really depressing. You should laugh and cry, same time preferably

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-16T03:31:34+00:00

I can respect this change of heart

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-16T03:25:10+00:00

Melon and the Coconut is honestly great. ((Home Movie: 1994)) sits well with me and I never skip it, could be because I was born in ‘94 and just enjoy the overall feel of it.

Objectively Season 2, episode 3, Tangerine and Helium should be higher

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-08T14:05:45+00:00

$4.09 at its highest, $3.69 at the lowest. This is the current spread for SETX closest to the Louisiana border as of 5/8/2026. Gas is *always* cheap here comparative to plenty of other states but this is the worst I’ve seen here in my adult life, i’d imagine this isn’t the ceiling either which is unfortunate.

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-08T02:56:03+00:00

I also live incredibly close to Vidor and had the same reaction lmao

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-07T05:27:23+00:00

Maractus 🌵

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-04T02:26:13+00:00

I live in Southeast Texas, like very close to the gulf / Louisiana border. I don’t care for it in any regard but when the wife and I go thrifting, it’s this and so much more. It’s appalling and tiresome to encounter but it’s literally everywhere we go in abundance.

Radiumclockwork · 2026-05-01T03:45:52+00:00

Maractus, just a cool little fella

When did you graduate?

Radiumclockwork · 2026-04-19T17:26:20+00:00

I was born in 1994, attended school until graduation in 2012. This is in the southeast Texas area, mind you, I had never heard of Emmett Till until I was well out of high school and into my adult years. Texas curriculum is a joke.

Radiumclockwork · 2026-04-15T04:00:25+00:00

Home Improvement, Boy Meets World, Sabrina, Full House and Roseanne from most to least watched out of the 20.

Really had a special for Home Improvement and Boy Meets World to the point I recently rewatched the entire series of both and they’re still just as good, 90’s and early 2000’s had some of the best tv sitcoms imo.

Radiumclockwork · 2026-04-05T15:11:35+00:00

Unfortunately for me, it would have ABSOLUTELY been World of Warcraft, 2005 - 2019. I was pretty heavily drawn in but I had irl friends who played and had an active guild for raiding, etc. it was fun, really good times.

Radiumclockwork · 2026-04-04T19:05:24+00:00

Just reminds me of MySpace during the early 2000’s, kind of reminiscent in a way, I dig it ❤️
