Huh, well if they put Andromeda on it, maybe I will finally play that.

LotRO definitely has a very clear story line that you are working towards. It just took them like 10+ years to get there, whereas the movies got there in 10 hours. Speaking of which, my Mordor dwarf has just reached level 40 and fought the evil dwarf Skorgrim alongside Gimli. I've been sticking mostly to the book quests, so things are moving quickly. I remember it took about a year of regular play to get to 40 when the game first came out. I'm excited to reach Moria at 50, but I want to try and finish all of the book quests before I do that. I bought some of these coins that let you jump directly to certain quest givers, since I know they can send you all over the map and it gets pretty tiresome trying to hoof it everywhere. I also have a Beorning delivering mail in the shire and and avoiding nosey hobbits. I think I might just stay there with him, it's such a nice change of pace to just wander around there.

Pretty sure the joke is that Bethesda is all about gay rights except in countries where they are needed the most.

Wait, inexpensive industrial cleaning agents are harmful? Shocking.

Coronavirus: Continuing Vigilance
I mean, the goal of all of this is to not overwhelm our medical system. The virus is here until we have a viable vaccine. But if we've slowed the spread enough, we can handle it until that vaccine arrives. We will see if it starts to spike again as we open back up.

Don't forget about the massacre of those padawans by Anakin a long time ago in a galaxy far away.

I have been thinking about watching Dark Phoenix, but I'm also kinda meh on it.

Organization is the problematic word here. There doesn't seem to be any real structure or leadership. I mean, there are some fantastic conspiracy theories out there that make them seem like some shadowy cabal, but yeah...it's a bit hard to believe. Traditional terrorist groups have meeting and pamphlets.

I enjoyed Civ6. I would rate it higher than 5. They need to do a Colonization version.

Well, we also elected a reality TV star, so I am not sure what that means.

I have an uncle in Nevada who keeps posting stuff like this as a response to the riots and looting. Like you, he's got some land and is a bit isolated. I don't get how either of you can possibly think this threatens you, or that it has anything to do with you. You are both so far removed from this entire issue. I mean ktchong is just a standard troll, trying to get reactions, but I don't get how folks fall for that bait.

Yep, that happened locally for us too.

Just a fracture, thankfully. Doesn't even need surgery. It's on the outside of the hand under the small finger. The cast is just a bit bulky.

40 hours a week should be considered busting your butt. A healthy person should be getting 8 hours of sleep a day, so that leaves you with 16 hours a day. So spending half of your waking hours during a 5-day work week is certainly a significant amount of time and should be enough to have a decent life during the non-work hours. No one said anything about raking in millions. You should also all be exercising about 90 minutes a day. I don't understand why that is hard. I average about 10 hours a week and people act like that is a big time commitment. It's not, and I get way more benefit out of that then I do my 40-hour work week. But that might be another topic.

Space Force may be a bit too close to reality. 10 years ago these jokes would have really been hilarious.

Yep. My right is broken. I am left handed, so most stuff is not a problem, but I never trained to use the mouse with my left. I am getting more proficient. 6 weeks to practice.

With my broken hand, it is a bit of a struggle to work the mouse, so I dusted off my PS4 and played some MLB The Show. I'm also just exploring the world of Lord of the Rings Online, since I can still move around, but combat is a bit tricky.

I think it is Saturday. Very anticlimactic.

The SpaceX Dragon launch is pretty compelling TV. Can they beat the Florida weather?

I remenber Mikey and I am 41. I figured it was an attempt to poke gen-x. Being part of gen-x, I just ignore it.

Stick with it! I loved Star Traders. Don't get overwhelmed by the crew. You can really just focus on your officers for the most part.

Poison oak is the worst. One of my eyes is swollen shut, so back to the doctor today. My leg is starting to regain sensation and I did get a good walk in today though. There is a indentation of the guard rail on it. I see a hand doctor today as well. But man, poison oak is a stupid plant.- unpopular gaming opinions - here's mine, share yours
IPA's definitely still rule the craft beer world, I was just saying we are seeing some pretty solid lagers coming out of the craft beer market. The tricky part is a lager actually takes longer to brew, but has a smaller abv, so it doesn't demand the same price as the heavier stuff. - What you've done today, tomorrow and yesterday
