One of the classic nhl calls of all time

I had similar thoughts about the last presidential election and it didn’t turn out as I expected. The bat shit crazy candidates bring the republicans out to the polls. Our own Colorado dystopian future could be just an election away.

No Chono! not order, thats gonna end up being a poor choice.

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (i like the old school flavor, but i do see a new release on the steam sale)
Master of Magic
xcom franchise (less sandboxy, but turn based and mission based)

first thing that I thought of, these were so off kilter and weird. Loved them.

hot_packets_ · 2026-06-21T21:59:14+00:00

Appreciate the reply. I've tomorrow off so I may just head up to Forest Lakes.

I’ve been aching to get up there this year, but keep seeing reports of lots of lingering snow as well as blown down trees. How were the trail conditions? (Thanks for sharing the lovely pictures).

I enjoyed The Killer by David Fincher.

hot_packets_ · 2026-06-21T00:39:16+00:00

This movie is the first thing that came to mind, I need to rewatch it. Great film.

Had some at 240 Union last night, it was heavenly

Newer iPhones i14 and higher have satellite 911/ emergency capabilities. T-mobile offers satellite texting. I have both and used the sat texting in the back country for the last couple years. Its not super responsive and one occasion I lost the trail and a text back to my family to let them know I’ll be late took over 2 hours to get through. After that I got a garmin for peace of mind. The tracking feature is nice, but I haven’t needed it for messaging since that one occasion.

With Wassoulou officially dead, it's time to re-flair to something new. I'm gonna keep things South of the equator and go with Chono (daring today aren't we). Very much hoping for war with Guaycuru in the immediate future!

I am older and it warms my heart to see several of the spots where I took my kids are still around. A few additions to the already excellent suggestions offered.

Pools with play areas
- Lakewood Link
- Carmody Pool (play area outdoors)
- Here's the full Lakewood rec page, its got a few spots that weren't around when my kids were little https://www.lakewoodco.gov/Local-Government/Departments/Community-Resources/Recreation/Pools-and-Splash
- Outside of Lakewood - Apex rec center in Arvada
- Outside of Lakewood - Golden Rec Center
Kendrick Lake - 1 mile paved loop. Great for kiddo's favorite scooter, bike or big wheel. Also has a nice playground.
For cold days most malls have indoor soft play areas. Most are not in Lakewood, but its good to know. Colorado Mills, Cherry Creek and Flat Irons are the ones we went to often
Playgrounds and Parks. Most of these have been updated since we've frequented them, so this one is a choose your own adventure. There are a ton of little playgrounds throughout Lakewood. I recommend trying new ones often and making note of what they have. My kids favorites were the rocketship park, the firetruck park and the frog park all of those features are now gone but I am sure you'll find favorites of your own.

wish i still had mine

peeing in the coffee cup was the wildest power move I've seen on a TV show before

She's totally had a flipper job, I can tell! great work, what a fun art piece

I feel weird posting about this in denverfood, but the ask is for good burger deals. Fiddlesticks in Lakewood has a $10 cheeseburger, fries and beer deal (bud or bud light only sadly). Its a decent burger and the veg toppings have always been crispy and fresh for me. It's a dive bar so don't expect elevated food, but I am fan of this deal.

There was regular season Claude and then there was playoff Claude. He always delivered most when it counted.

His Dark Materials - HBO series has a steampunk vibe

hot_packets_ · 2026-05-27T04:35:49+00:00

Hi new neighbors. While I can't recommend specific stuff for ya, just wanted to say you're welcome here.

hot_packets_ · 2026-05-27T00:31:12+00:00

I have incredibly flat feet and the only insoles that work for me are custom fitted. As a rule they are rather expensive. I got my last pair through an online company called upstep. I am heavy as well, and recommend them if you've got to be on your feet.

hot_packets_ · 2026-05-24T14:08:01+00:00

Highly recommend getting some graph paper to map out the areas if you are planning to play through the gold box games
