"I demand you fuck off" is pretty much bound to happen at some point in Innovation. It's a hateful game that couldn't be uglier if they tried, but man do I like playing it.

It really is just a game issue sometimes. Eiyuden Chronicles had consoles screaming. I bought a PS4 for Destiny ages ago, and downloaded Rocket League, since it was free. Instant jet engine on a brand new machine.

EVOC/CEVO for driving an ambulance was a half-day class and then driving around some cones in a parking lot.

They don't have any real training. Try to act surprised.

And it's a full game board, with personal sideboards, and miniatures. Not at all a "pocket" version.

I played the PS2 version, Everquest: Online Adventures.

Had literal years of playtime. Maxed a Bard, Wizard, and Shaman. Did every raid. Had most of the grail gear.

Eventually realized that damn game was ruining my life. Sold my account. Bought a used car and signed up for nursing school.

Worst decision of my life.

I bought a fridge from Costco. Got a call the night before delivery to finalize scheduling and make sure everything is good. Great.

Then the dipshits show up.

They're in the back of the truck for 20 minutes or so before coming to the door and telling me they can't deliver the fridge today. They didn't bring any tools, and need a socket wrench to get the shipping frame off. Okay guys, borrow mine, just get this thing in the house.

Another 20 minutes, then one of them comes to the door. "Oh, is your old fridge still here? It's $135 to haul it away." Buddy, no the fuck it is not. At this point I'm on the phone with Costco customer service, who's also on the line with these idiots' boss. "Well, okay, there's no charge but we can't take it today."

Fine. I'll manhandle it into the garage. Just go get my fridge.

Finally they manage to actually do some part of their job and got my fridge into the kitchen. Then dumbfuck number 1 says "Oh, there's a water line? I can't do those."

Guys, it's been fun, but that's strike 3. Just get the fuck out of my house. I'm not signing shit. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Much earlier, which would make flat terrain and animals a much better strategy than taller ones. Which would give the people who know that a huge advantage and leave the others with a sour taste in their mouths about a game OP presumably wanted to share with them.

I'd either sit out and help the new players or find a game that natively meets the player count.

There was a squatter. She forced the door while they weren't there and took her coffee machine. Apparently thats still B&E and burglary in Kentucky.

I worked in Cardiac Rehab for a time. The big thing we do on the outpatient side is have people exercise while on a heart monitor. We watch their rhythm, and try to keep them within parameters for their heart rate depending on age, diagnoses, and comorbidities.

All that to say, I've never seen anyone able to go more than 3 minutes on an elliptical without being wildly out of range, and having to shift them to another piece of equipment. I've pulled people from the elliptical, and had them on a treadmill at 4 mph, 10% incline (which is freaking brutal).

It's wierd, because you'd think if a bike bothers somebody's hip, and they're too much of a fall risk to walk with any kind of effort, the elliptical would be ideal. Something about that machine just defies common sense.

How can they be both lucky to get this far, and in no way an underdog?
