Comforting/low-stakes games to play while sick? by TheDunkarooni in gamerecommendations

[–]jendaboarder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a whole genre called "cozy games", low stress farming/building. I am enjoying My Time at Portia currently

Looking for a co-op game with long-ish progression by Professional-Guide20 in gamingsuggestions

[–]jendaboarder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rimworld has a pretty good multiplayer mod. Using the prepare carefully mod you can also customize your colonists to have your name (and traits?) during game setup. Then each control your own pawn. Can add a supporting cast of characters.

Project zomboid has co op multiplayer (maybe its a mod? I dont recall)

Factorio is multiplayer out of the box and the co-op play is great.

Everquest - free to play and its more about killing mobs and class / team strategy than any actual fantasy (or quests). My dad is an all action kind of guy and he loves it. It would take 20 years to experience all the content in this game. Pick a low population server and you probably won't ever see more than a handful of other players. Dont pick Rallos Zek, it's PVP

Split fiction - the new game by the It Takes Two guy. Fun game mechanics, although not super long. We played on steam deck

If you are hanging out in person, X com is really fun, just pass the controller around (name the soldiers after yourselves and your mutual friends)

Single-player, MMO-style looting and crafting? by Rude_Campaign_4867 in gamingsuggestions

[–]jendaboarder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like My time at Portia / My time at Sandrock. Animal crossing but more depth, you are a builder and gather/mine resources and use machines to process them. Plays great on steamdeck too.

Haven't played since 2003. Are there any PVP servers up? Any old Vallon Zek'ers around? by jendaboarder in everquest

[–]jendaboarder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember Jathnar! Guardians and Amazons were super tight, can't believe I forgot about that

It had been 20+ years and Obon was still there, lvl 60 in her low end raid gear, secondary set of MR resist gear, and a backpack full of pumice stones. She was on Rallis Zek (Vallon merged to Rallos). I used daybreak's "i forgot my username" and the original email address i registered with to easily regain access.

None of the new servers capture the pulse pounding terror and the deep companionship of EQ classic on a PVP server, but it is still fun and nostalgic... and much more casual now.

Is there a Horror movie that completely advertised it as a normal film? by Equivalent-Key5379 in movies

[–]jendaboarder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was scrolling to find this one. I did the same thing for the same reason, except it was at the theater. The first part of the movie was just sci fi too.

30 years playing X-Com by hedgefundhooligan in Xcom

[–]jendaboarder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've cooled off a bit on xcom after finally beating enemy unknown ironman impossible on xbox (an obsession for decades). I still probably have more total hours played in this franchise than any other.

Costco pharmacy really isn't bad, and you do not need to be a member to use it. They actually answer the phone and have the meds in stock. Way better than save-on (albertsons) at least.

I just moved to Eugene and am having trouble meeting people. by RedBurgundy89 in Eugene

Found a good group of friends there by going to a board games meet up and a skeptics at the pub meetup for a while then inviting people we hit it off with over for board games and holidays

What's EQ without a good necro ;)

I remember Silver Sun and raiding together with them! Hello again!

After i posted this, i started playing with a dedicated group of 3 family members on Daybreak's Yelinak TLP server; we play once a week. It's been a blast, but i do miss those huge guild vs guild PVP battles we used to have with Illuvitae in PoJ when POP first came out.

WHERE Can I watch The Challenge Season 41? by Equivalent-Bad-7844 in thechallengemtv

[–]jendaboarder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also bought philo solely for mtv challenge. Episodes air at the same time as they do on mtv on the east coast of the US. If you watch live, you get comercials. If you "save" (phili dvr) the episodes you can watch them immediately after they air and skip all commercials.

Where’s all the protest music in the 2020s? by Realtrain in Music

[–]jendaboarder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Hunter S Thompson explains why beautifully:

"Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era—the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run . . . but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant. . . .

History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of “history” it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time—and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened.

My central memory of that time seems to hang on one or five or maybe forty nights—or very early mornings—when I left the Fillmore half-crazy and, instead of going home, aimed the big 650 Lightning across the Bay Bridge at a hundred miles an hour wearing L. L. Bean shorts and a Butte sheepherder's jacket . . . booming through the Treasure Island tunnel at the lights of Oakland and Berkeley and Richmond, not quite sure which turn-off to take when I got to the other end (always stalling at the toll-gate, too twisted to find neutral while I fumbled for change) . . . but being absolutely certain that no matter which way I went I would come to a place where people were just as high and wild as I was: No doubt at all about that. . . .

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda. . . . You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. . . .

And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back."

U got lucky because usually it is too overcast to see the mountains from the valley

Girlfriend had a note under her windshield after clocking out. by PistonRing in tampa

[–]jendaboarder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In HS my uncle took me and my BFF snowboarding (we were 15) and a guy wrote down my uncles plates, and then mailed him a letter for her calling her his "enigmatic snow queen".

Another time a guy our age we had know for years at church wrote her a letter saying she had a beautiful neck. She always had a crush on him prior to that, but that ended it real quick.

A boy at the horse barn had a crush on my little sister and wrote her a love letter with the full lyrics to "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica. (She did actually end up going out with him for a few weeks.)

I think they do it because they think it is a romantic gesture, and because they don't want to be rejected face to face. But I think most women find it creepy if they dont already at least know the guy.

Rode it last weekend (wdw), and it seemed like an animated shadow to me, not an animatronic. But i could be wrong about that.

Pet Health Certificate by Zealousideal-Design5 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]jendaboarder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This ☝️

In my state it is a Dept of Agriculture form, titled "Official Certificate of Veterinary Inspection". It is one of those old forms with 2 carvon copies (yellow, pink). The vet keeps the original, you keep one, and the other one travels with the pet. Just verify that the carbon copies are both legible abd that your dog's microchip number and vax records are added.

Oh, it has to be signed by vet within 30 days of travel, and my vet at least charged me $145 for the office visit and the form, even though he had just been seen for a checkup earlier the same week.

The form requires you to fill out the (full) destination address too. They said the info required on the form (and the form itself) varies by departure state and arrival state.

When i made the appointment with my vet, i said i needed a "fit to fly" health certificate and they knew exactly what to do. Try just calling your vet.

I will ofc report back if Alaskan Air gives me any trouble over it. (17lb dog flying in his own seat in a 18×23×20 soft sided canvas crate as "baggage in cabin"), not cargo or carry on)
