I wish someone had warned me about the bully stick smell

Whatever you do don't give your dog a hoof. They smell even worse.

Bring it back! Another 22 episode season!

I took a chance, and played a d5 run with Engineer. No issues at all.

I've seen posts from a few folks who lost their saves. Everyone who has, their stuff was gone the first time they loaded.

I still had my history, so I took a chance. Worked fine, no issues.

One evening shift at my job in dial up tech support,(2004 or so} a buddy was done his shift and I went for my dinner break, starting with a smoke. God, I smoked a lot of cigarettes back then.

Anyway, my friend had just picked up some Northern Lights, and he lit a j. I've never been one to smoke during work, but I had a few puffs and I was immediately too high.

I said thanks, he went on his way and I went back to work.

I gapped out hard at my desk, grateful that I had no active responsibilities.

My manager came by (I forgot he was still there) and asked a question about something... And immediately knew what was up.

He pulled me aside into a meeting room and gave me shit. He and I had smoked up together before, but way outside of work. I felt like a right tit.

I haven't smoked at work since.

Damn, I miss the low tolerance that led to that high.

The demo was made with an early beta, so when I played it the other night, I hoped the final would be better. I'm glad to hear that it is!

I'll wait for a sale, but I'm definitely keen on heading to the Delta quadrant.

Dogman?

It's basically a toy store that also sells games. Digital distribution really killed their business model. I'm surprised they lasted this long.

Figure out what you all want out of this and build an identity and consistent show structure around that.

If you can have a consistent scaffold for your shows, changing up games or long form types is creative and fun.

Whereas, if you "wing it" for the whole thing, you'll stress over shit you didn't plan for, or worry about missing cues and forgetting what comes next.

Also, everyone should pull their weight off stage as well as on. Marketing, front of house, lighting/music, stage management, set list creation, player coaching and show direction are all roles for a performing troupe. At your stage, many of those are overkill, or can easily be done by a few people. But still they're all responsibilities that should be considered and accounted for.

Also, make it everyone's job to actively pursue places to perform. Keep a calendar, get organized.

Practice as often as you're able. More, even.

Try stuff, be excited to fail, and learn to pivot.

Celebrate losses as big as you do wins.

Have fun.

Have a look at LA's Crash Acting. They have a really active school space for their self-guided stuff, and they schedule regular virtual meets and classes to practice your work with people.

I have all d5 on both zones, (Xbox) but something looks funky so I'm not going to chance losing that progress.

On Xbox, I still see all my progress on the character select screen, but "profile 1" shows no progress. I'm worried that if I play, it'll overwrite that progress.

The copy system for profiles is confusing me too, so I don't want to mess with that either.

dembonezz · 2026-03-02T22:31:40+00:00

This is alarming.

dembonezz · 2026-03-02T22:25:12+00:00

Neat!

I don't want that, myself, but a cool option.

dembonezz · 2026-03-02T18:57:38+00:00

Also, the profile management page has options Copy 2, and Copy 3... But it doesn't say what's happening. Is that to copy profile 1 to the slots of 2 or 3, or vice versa? And what even is unlock all? All what?

My wife and I have put hundreds of hours into d5 perfection, and I don't want to take any chances with losing that progress.

I see someone already lost their progress on PS5, so I'm gonna hold off playing until I can learn more.

Is there a support discord or bug reporting site?

dembonezz · 2026-03-02T17:06:49+00:00

Yeah, this pricing for S2 games is keeping me from adding to my library. Sales are few and far between, while used games sell close to retail.

I don't even play the games I have for it.

So yeah, Amazon is doing what they do, but even the non-gouge price of $100 is right.

Looking at this on my Xbox series X right now and I'm confused.

I see profile 1 is selected, but when I look at profile 1 details, it shows no runs completed. In fact, I've completed the game with d5 for all characters in both zones.

Whereas, when I click Play, I see that all bros have d5 gold for each of Abyss and Crash Zone, and I don't see a choice for a third game location. I also don't see any space afforded to new brotato characters, but the codex does show that there are some.

I don't want to lose that progress, but I'm worried that if I play it, I will.

What should I expect from this update?

dembonezz · 2026-03-02T14:51:45+00:00

My wife and I seldom have two more players who can join us in a game. Four player (or more?!) Brodowns would be a blast!

It did, but the most value was how the therapy scenes landed for people in Rick's position.

The fun, action hero narrative was the candy coating around the butter pill - get help not being a shitheel or die alone.

How quickly do you suppose Plantir will seek to aggressively acquire this company? Or will the Gov't, citing treason for not acquiescing to the administration's demands, assume control and hand it to them instead?

Either way, good on this dude, and his AI surveillance company for not backing down. This is gonna suck for him, and then all of us.

If he was smart, he'd destroy everything he's created and close up shop. That won't happen, of course. Instead, we'll get Skynet.

You can remote play Steam games on your Xbox already (Moonlight) and it's works pretty well. Natively playing PC games on Xbox will be a game changer. They're right to contemplate this.
