Some alpha first impressions https://www.wargamer.com/warhammer-40k-rogue-trader/alpha-impressions https://www.thegamer.com/warhammer-40000-40k-rogue-trader-first-impressions/

51-49 I guess the rankings go Reverends > Werewolves > Vampires

I know a write a lot of negative stuff about the game but I did actually enjoy my time in it. I'm just disappointed by all the things that could have been.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5v9xy/the-freight-rail-labor-dispute-was-never-about-sick-days Some insight into the rail labor issues. I have a friend who used to work on trains who quit(after surviving two rounds of cuts) because it was more a lifestyle than a job and he wanted to see his kids grow up.

It's crazy that this came out 2 years ago now and it's only now getting to the state that still wouldn't have lived up to the release hype. Also, multiplayer has been nixed but I never cared about that to begin with.

2 dogs and it scared them at first but now they don't care because they know it will go around them. I might worry a little if I got a new puppy but these dogs are potty trained better than me so no issue there.

Got a robot mop/vacuum combo and it never made it under the tree. Kaylon 1 has been online for a week and is crushing it. So nice to not have to worry about the floor on the main level.

Judge orders sanctions in response to Lake, Finchem election suit Supreme Court Seems Ready to Back Web Designer Opposed to Same-Sex Marriage Two electric substations were damaged by gunfire on Saturday, leaving tens of thousands of customers in the dark. The cost of the damage is probably in the millions, one official said.

I only get beta access with my purchase level and I'm not even sure I'll bother unless I get too curious. I want to play early but I don't want to actually test anything and I don't expect a very polished alpha.. or beta... or even release.

That's good because driving was a mess at launch. I'd walk everywhere to avoid driving. Motorbikeles weren't as bad so I would use them occasionally

CGI cocaine bear? They couldn't get a real bear hooked on coke for the movie? -0/10 literally unwatchable

Ukraine war: The surrender hotline for Russian soldiers PS finally heard from my wife's cousin again. He's still kicking though even angrier than usual thanks to all the blackouts and given the chance would beat Putin to death with his bare hands. Those are his words, not mine. I think it'd be better to beat Putin with bear hands... or paws, as it were.

I always forget BG3 exists. Is it still in alpha beta yearly access? I gave it a shot a while back but it did less than nothing for me.

Too much weeb stuff in da Paffinder thread

I had the same experience but I wonder if part of it is that it was the first game that I ever played that had a lot of these things in them. I wonder if it just all came together at the right time for me.

I wanted to explain this further. Good (and possibly evil, I haven't tested it and I only make a few evil choices) actions move you toward neutral on the law/chaos axis as well as the good/evil axis. So if you pick only good options then you'll turn neutral good since it shifts you both neutral and good... and to make that worse is that most lawful options come off as lawful neutral or lawful evil even though they only move you the law/chaos axis. So to remain LG you have to be careful of where you are on the alignment wheel because you may have to avoid good choices and make lawful ones instead to avoid falling to the horribleness of neutral good. Or invest in scrolls of atonement. Or use a mod.

Pass

Blade Trinity?

Was also dealing with an issue like that on Wednesday. I also had some guy reach out to me about a ticket I created a couple weeks ago and ask if I had any updates. I'm like nope, no updates to the ticket that is assigned to you and I've not worked on. I can maybe provide some background info but definitely can't give you an update, dude.

My waistline

Sorry the pics aren't great but I was eating with barbarians who couldn't let me take a pic before diving in. Almost forgot

Making chitlins, short ribs, polenta, and collard greens. Wife bought rolls and meats and cheese for a charcuterie board. Cousin is bringing drinks and pie and other friends are bringing brussel sprouts and maybe something else. Pics later maybe.
