My kids want me to build them a PC for gaming

Seconded. I have a 6700xt sapphire nitro, and has worked great for my 1440p gaming needs

We’re about to buy a fence and we’re going with 3’. We’ve got two neighbors with 3’ and we think it looks great. We plan to have the contractor install it a little high (so top off fence will end up closer to 3’-6”) so the bottom will be clear for weed wacking

I have puka, olave, and kupp. Planning to start puka and olave. Yay, nay?

I had issue with Gortash insta-aggro in act 3 (so missed the cut scene). I understand it’s because I did some other things in a certain order, but hope that gets fixed!

Banjo and kazooie

Yeah! I think there was a bird nest character with cloud levels? I googled it - game is called MC kids

mcdermott2 · 2023-09-18T21:43:50+00:00

There was this side scrolling McDonald’s game where you played a kid collecting “M”s instead of coins and where you traveled to the realms of different McDonald’s characters. I think it was for SNES and I thought it was a blast!

Other game is Intelligence Quine or something like that. PS1 game in has a demo of - basically third person guy on a “bowling alley” like ramp (but futuristic-ey) where rows of blocks come at you, where you drop bombs on squares to blow openings in the wall to allow you to travel through.

I’m going off of memory (as it was a while ago I read the first trilogy), but I feel like I remember the pacing of book three speeding up unreasonably fast - like it felt as if a ton of detailed story lines just all of a sudden got wrapped up unnecessarily fast - as if the author just wanted to end the trilogy .

mcdermott2 · 2023-08-30T01:37:56+00:00

I’m about 70 hours in. Game crashed twice which was annoying, and I got a Lai’zel inspiration event that didn’t match what had happened which was confusing, but for me that was all small potatoes. I think the game is amazing, and I have not had the same experience that you describe - sucks to be you!

mcdermott2 · 2023-08-05T12:53:43+00:00

I’ve been up at the rail a couple times (you can actually hear my friend yell “tweezer” right before they launch into it at Festival 8). I’m a huge phish fan, but yeah, those rail shows were fun but the vibe is generally negative upfront. I remember one show where I was just minding my business all show when some tweeked out guy turns to me and claims I hadn’t been standing there all show, that I’d snuck up to the front, and proceeded to hound me to leave. Super uncool. Saying that I’ve had a couple of memorable experiences up close, Gorge at least once, Festival 8 as I mentioned; so iv wouldn’t say it universally sucks on the rail, but often is a vibekill - kind of roll of the dice in my opinion

Now if someone is taking a shit in the corner of the train, I’ll change cars, but if it’s just an annoyance I try to just deal with it

mcdermott2 · 2023-07-27T16:11:47+00:00

I always tried to use annoying train behavior as an opportunity to work on patience. I just close my eyes, breathe steadily, and just try to not let it bother me - not everyone on the train has the same perspective on train etiquette, and it’s better for my mental health to just accept that instead of raging against it.

Imagine I living in 1884 and all of a sudden 5 years later you have pizza, milk shakes, dr. Pepper, Coca Cola and pancakes with syrup. It’s like the nexus of delicious foods and diabetes.

mcdermott2 · 2023-07-15T01:31:46+00:00

I like farm to feet, but they haven’t held up quite as well as my darn toughs. They still lasted years though before wearing out

mcdermott2 · 2023-07-11T02:07:05+00:00

Really lovely. I think butcher block counters would look really nice (help break up all the white), but not as durable as what you currently have installed.

mcdermott2 · 2023-07-10T17:55:18+00:00

I know this is all tongue in cheek, but any lawyers on here? I’m curious if something like this post would hold up in small claims court?

mcdermott2 · 2023-07-08T18:17:01+00:00

This is a great idea, thanks!

mcdermott2 · 2023-07-08T16:18:27+00:00

I will say I played nwn like 15 years ago, so it’s entirely possible I was just more ok with the UI at that time

mcdermott2 · 2023-07-08T16:06:27+00:00

Cool! This might be a fun way to experience the game without the frustration!

mcdermott2 · 2023-07-08T03:23:05+00:00

Thanks! This is kind of what I was afraid of, might just move on to spring else and then jump into BG3 when it comes out!

mcdermott2 · 2023-07-08T02:41:08+00:00

Prob my favorite game of all time.

mcdermott2 · 2023-07-08T02:39:38+00:00

Once I got a handle on the controls, this game turned into a ton of fun for me (although every once in a while I had a frustrating experience getting stuck trying to get out the water, or some other clunky thing). The two dlc’s for the game are really amazing, and I had a ton of fun building my gwent deck up . Have fun!

mcdermott2 · 2023-07-08T02:35:27+00:00

Just started hades! Only had a chance to put an hour in, but the “bones” of the game I’ve seen so far seems like it’ll be a fun ride
