Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?
  • I loved Marvels Midnight Suns! Exploring the grounds, finding kitty, then slicing people up with Hunter and Wolverine!

  • Manstrual cycles
  • I ask my body this every morning.

  • We Have To Talk About Weed - YouTube
  • It's the reason why I only eat my weed. The harm from smoking, simply burning stuff into my lungs would cancel out any good effects of the weed. But maybe its because I have asthma and allergies, maybe for those that are healthier its slightly less bad.

  • Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support
  • I'm not the only one to use this machine, and the message greatly upset the other person, so we just got a new machine over dealing with the possibility of it continuing.

  • Black owner here.... without context that sounds really bad
  • All cats I've owned were "oh! A cat!" Style cat. My grandmother had a Russian blue and a Scottish fold, although she lost the Scottish fold to my mother when she moved in with us. That cat loved my mother. I loved the Russian blue. He was an idiot.

  • Let the pie cool
  • Never cooled a pie on a window sill, it would be covered with flies here.

    I did participate in a 'talent' show in school, but it wasn't...graded so idk how we did. I just remember being dressed as a bear and dancing.

    Take your kids to work day was absolutely a thing, I did not get to take part in as my mother worked in the school already so...I'd just be at school lmfao. My dad traveled for work and it could be dangerous so no go there.

  • Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support
  • While I've thought about linux, actually making the switch is scary.

    I can put together a computer, that part is easy. It's very fancy lego! The software scares me, and it often just gets weird on me. I'm unsure why. Tech support is also confused, because they'll watch me follow instructions and then it just explodes.

    But with linux I would mostly be the tech support, and that seems dangerous for having a machine that works!

    Maybe the windows 7 machine can be made into linux. It still worked, after all. I only switched because I wanted to still play games.

  • Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support
  • I could not upgrade from 7 to 11 because the hardware was bad, yes. I did try to upgrade before this also, but it also didn't want to upgrade to 8? Or maybe it was 10. I forget why it refused to do those two systems though.

  • Weekly what have you been playing discussion - week of November 10th, 2024
  • Heavily modded Stardew Valley with sibling. Also got uhh...a new game about battling monsters and cooking them and the name escapes me entirely right now. It's fun though.

    In board games, we've been playing Betrayal Legacy when it's the three of us, or Space Hulk when just two.

  • Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support
  • I was using 7 right up to the point last year steam said they'd stop supporting it.

    I run a computer into the ground because I'm broke.

  • I would solve the Third Body Problem for nuggets right now
  • Okay, yes, that's fair. My sibling cuts their gummies into fourths even.

    But a completely unadultered cookie?? Jam that entire thing into my mouth!

  • I would solve the Third Body Problem for nuggets right now
  • Absolutely insane. Sure, large cookie, but I've never seen anyone go "okay I will slice up this cookie and eat only a fourth" also that's how your make a cookie go stale faster! These manufacturers are cruel.

  • Little dude ATP
  • It's the holding the side of her neck and not say, her shoulder, that always makes my brain go eurgh for a second when seeing it.

  • Trash Goblin is a game about being a little goblin that sells trash [demo available]
  • Yeah, same feelings. I played the demo when it first dropped and enjoyed it.

    I then watched someone play the full (ea?) game and it felt...identical if not worse than the demo. It needs a lot more going on before I'd want to spend money on it, even though it was nice and chill.

  • what is the most "above your station" thing you have ever experienced?
  • My parents liked to travel and eat out when we were young. If traveling, it meant we ate with them. I frequently remember eating at very fancy places wearing my little dresses and patent leather shoes and feeling very out of place. But mostly because I was a kid.

    Also maybe the one time we flew first class at 14? Oooo they had ice cream!! In real bowls!!! And nice pillows!!!!

  • Junior Taskmaster review – they’ve messed with perfection … and it’s a triumph
  • I really enjoyed the show! I like it being only one episode with each group (assuming I'm understanding the setup right) so it doesn't feel like the kids are being asked too much of. I also liked the tasks feel like they'd be on adult Taskmaster and not dumbed down. I can see Alex rotating in a tall hat.

  • Sorry, but you'll temporarily need to take the hats off your pets to improve Stardew Valley's performance
  • Look, the farm was abandoned for years, you can't get too mad at that poor hungry coyote!

  • Perfect except that she's a HERETIC
  • My favorite was the orks cause they go waaauuuuggghhh. My husband played necrons!

  • What platform do you use to communicate with beta readers?
  • When I was writing fanfic and had a beta, I sent them a word doc in something Google, and we'd discuss it over Skype.

    As Skype is dead, and no one seems to like me using open office, I'd probably just post with no beta.

    Which I did do for a long time! I feel they were worse though. More rambling.

  • Time to go
  • They're both straights! But that is probably in my brain only.

    Either way -

    Lady in the comic is doing eldritch magic with them there needles.

  • Rising Dough

    Its my favorite part of bread making, watching it rising and be all bouncy and stuff!

    Capsela Toys!

    A favorite of mine growing up. I loved trying to make water worthy boats. They were terrifying boats.

    Deadlands - The Weird West RPG

    Deadlands is an RPG originally published in 1993. It's been through a few iterations and currently is under Savage Worlds rules, I think.

    This very old book is from the original run.

    What happens if the supernatural comes back to the world during the American Civil War? Well you get gunslingers dealing with hucksters, people who make deals with demons to sling magic and Blessed running around trying to save the world with Mad scientists makings thing better (or far worse) while all dealing with blood thirsty tumbleweeds (tumblebleeds) and the dealing with the Reckoners, unknown True Evils.

    The original system was its own creation, using a deck of cards including 2 jokers and multiple types of dice, it was an exciting system. Eventually the old system was replaced a free times and it's currently published under Savage Rules.

    I can only talk on the original system, quite liking the use of decks of cards for initiative and other uses. Combat could be quite slow, but it is a very flavorful system.

    This is a bad photo, but it's the book from our shelf!

    What is the most quintessential 90s movie?

    Personally I'd go with Independence Day if I had to pick a movie that felt the most 90s.

    Phone Inaccurately Counting?

    My phone seems to inaccurately count steps, and I'm worried that could be a problem? It gives me too many steps. I counted how many steps it takes to walk from one room to another, which is around 12 - 16 steps. The app routinely gives me over 25 steps though! I'm hoping this won't be an issue? I might be over thinking.

    Bathroom Complete!

    Or mostly. Unsure if I've ever seen a toilet that wasn't the makeshift outhouse, so this is the best I can make a bathroom in Palia!

    Shiny Kartana in Pokémon GO!

    Only managed to get into one raid during the kartana stuff recently, and was delighted it was a shiny! My only other big shiny mon is a Guzzlord, which upsets me XD

    Rocky Road Ice Cream!

    With peanuts and mini marshmallows instead of tree nuts, because household allergies.

    5
    Mint Chocolate Chip! Very soft still.

    It still needs to chill more and continue to be mixed up. It's more green than yellow but the photo makes it look very yellow to me.

    Three Cheese Ravioli!

    Made 46 total, and I'll make more tomorrow! I did break the ravioli cutter though, so tomorrow's batch will be heart shaped!
