REMF, which I learned here.

Gore Vidal always reminds me of some old Ask a Ninja video where he says something like not enough Gore or Videl. Now I'm off to find that clip Ugh it was Gore Verbinski. I was way off.

I just use my phone as a hotspot in pinch. I can't work like that for more than a few days though. Comcast is same day and despite all their flaws, and they are legion, I need quicker response times to issues. CenturyLink was solid for 5 years but even then a 2 week outage is unacceptable. I probably just needed a new line or ONT box. I could have even run and tipped the fiber myself as I used to do it back in the desert in my imperial youth.

My wife was reading me some article about how the kids these days all smoke and don't wear sunscreen and so they look older and worse. Not sure if there was any truth to it or if it was the typical generation bashing shifted down to Z but I figured it was the latter.

Internet has been down most of the day which sucks because we both work from home. Called up the ISP and they were less than helpful and I had to basically prove I was down for them to send someone out in almost 2 weeks. Can't go 2 weeks without working so I'll probably switch back to Comcast tomorrow if the situation doesn't resolve itself overnight. This was my first bad experience with CenturyLink but boy was it a doozy.

Wife has been in like with the Buldak carbonara ramen so I've been splitting a bowl with her for lunch most days.

Sold my last rental property and now I'm out of the rental game

I had most of the cameos spoiled by my Google news feed. Like can you not put the spoilers in the headlines?

I got a laugh over people getting upset with D-Wade for saying the basketball players pronouns.

Axel F. We loved it, a very 80s movie.

We took the ASVAB in high school, is that not a thing anymore? It's been 20 years since I graduated HS.

@BruceVC your argument is basically a variation of "some of my best friends are black." Some additional reading if you're interested. And TVTropes is usually pretty good time.

I've never regretted my Tesla purchase more

Is that the dude from Lupin? I'll check that out, I think.

Yeah, I had a lot of complaints, especially about the first game which didn't even have a manual save. Like, you can't figure out how to do a manual save? I always wanted someone like Obs to tackle Shadowrun, especially after they got acquired by the license holder, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards.

Great job, Bruce!

Well, he picked the guy that blamed Biden for the shooting as VP so he's off to a great start.

Becoming the president wasn't a life altering experience? ... I don't have much faith in a man approaching 80 changing his stripes. Can he stop being himself long enough to really capitalize on this? I think it goes too much against his core being but I guess we'll see soon enough.

Dr Ruth and Richard Simmons? That's like my childhood late night TV.

I just wanted to come back to this once again because now my save is working again. The bluff to not use the spell slot is awesome considering you're a charisma based caster because that pretty much translates into unlimited spells. Regarding the limited spell list, it does kinda suck but you also have some very unique spells and the Deceiver mod adds even more. I guess you could also just give yourself any spell you wanted via Toybox but I mostly got around that by combining other spells. It's great for spells that I normally don't use because they're touch or cone because all I have to do is combine it with a single target or AoE spell and now it does both spells damage and effects but in a ray or fireball or chain.

I wanted to like Cyberpunk with all my little black heart but it's not at all what I wanted. I keep hovering over the buy button for the Idris pack but something stops me from pulling the trigger. Anyways, I just finished a replay of Dragonfall and Hong kong. What I wouldn't do for more good Shadowrun games.

First DLC delayed to September 24 and second DLC supposedly coming by the end of the year.

I'm running that mod now and it makes the subclass even more powerful. I think that feats and items can still give you some access to metamagic, at least it's working for me.

I got almost to the end of the 3rd chapter and now I can't get my game to load. I ended up going Angel with my Deceiver even though Trickster seemed like a better narrative fit. I just used Toybox to merge the spell books and it was insanely powerful. I then started a Black Blade/Sword Saint Magus but unlike the modded version, the official BB doesn't get to pick the blade, you just get a scimitar. Not sure I'll continue this game, just cleared the Shield Maze. I wish there was a spontaneous casting Druid.

You missed the best part. After she finally unlocks her powers and can be in multiple places at once, she just stands there and in about as much time as it would take to walk over to each of the spider women she magically appears one by one in front of them, does the barest minimum to help, then gets knocked down and that's over.
