Hurlshort

I enjoy the commercials. It reminds me of a simpler time. Plus it gives me a chance to check stuff on my phone.

My daughter is livestreaming a tap class in our living room and my son is attending a 4th grade Zoom meeting in his room. My wife is sendng video workouts to her PE students, and I just set up a google drive so students can digitally submit biographies on Renaissance figures. This is the future.

Hulu also comes free with my Sprint service.

I think the isolation is getting to Gfted. Cabin fever!

We've been watching a lot of cooking shows during the quarantine:

It strikes me as a strange comparison because Germany was the aggressor in WW2. It seems rather tone deaf to make the comparison.

Eh, Hulu has probably surpassed Netflix in terms of how much I use it. Granted I use Hulu Live for all the local stuff now, but it's come a long way since it first launched.

Wow, thanks for covering up my disaster of a run as the Freeburg Police Chief. I had good intentions, people!

I've been playing This is the Police. I started out trying to be a good, upstanding police chief, but now I'm on the take and I even ordered a hit on one of my own officers. He was a snitch. Where did it all go wrong? I blame the pills.

The environmental impact of this will be interesting: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-51943104/coronavirus-venice-canals-clearer-after-lockdown

The stimulus would work out to exactly what I still owe in Federal taxes this year, so yay.

Wait, the quarantine just means stay away from people. You can still go outside.

It took me a long while to get into DA2. I mean, it starts of with you massacring refuguees, and that rubbed me the wrong way. But once I got over that and realized I'm going to be killing a lot of people, I enjoyed it.

Oh...yeah, that is incorrect. The c doesn't mean classic. Just kidding, but I don't even see the term crpg used regularly, so i guess it can mean that. There are great console rpg's these days.

I'd say a focus on story is central to most games that fit in the RPG genre today. I mean, I argue MLB The Show is the best rpg I've ever played because you create a character and grind you way to the majors, and it is driven by stats, but that is tongue in cheek.

Interesting question. I would lean towards their own IP's for this. The Outer Worlds is my favorite game world they have created. AP is great, but flawed and not really fleshed out as much. PoE just isn't my setting.

I saw this elsewhere as the Coronials.

Yesterday I attempted to climb something called Mount Umunhum on my road bike. There are a few good summits in my area that I've been meaning to hit, and this one is about 3500 ft. up. It was a beautiful ride, about 60 degrees and sunny, and I was feeling good on the long climbs. But about 3 miles to the top, heavy winds and rain picked up and I had to turn around. It was crazy how drastically the weather changed when I got near the peak. Anyways, still a great day on the bike, and I'll get it next time.

NHL and MLB follow the NBA in stopping games for the time being. Meanwhile I had a kid come back from a multiple week trip overseas, and the office didn't hold him to any quarantine protocol. Other students were freaking out. I emailed them about it, but ugh.

I'm pretty sure he gets it. He just doesn't agree with it.

Vigilantes was a fun little Jagged Alliance clone with a Punisher type story.

I enjoyed it. Fun exploration and game mechanics, decent story. Kind of fits the mold of games like Zelda: Breathe of the Wild and Red Dead Redemption 2.

I can't believe I sold my RV a month before a global pandemic. My exit strategy is toast.

Jungle Cruise looks sillier than a Pirates of the Caribbean movie, so it will probably be a huge hit.
