I could be better, it has been a slow day, I played some games to keep me busy but other than that I've just been lounging around. Been really tired lately, all the time, can hardly keep concentrated on one thing before I feel exhausted idk why.

Browsing miiverse atm because miiverse is adorable and funny. Looking up cosplay poo poo too cause I like cosplay and wish I had the money and materials to make costumes

How are you today?

A friend and I have a combined $300 in credit to the Microsoft store. What are the chances we could get the Xbox One +1 game bundle and resell it for $250? Or is everyone just dumping them like Flipcams?

I'm fine. Thank you for asking. I didn't get to play a whole lot today on account of taking a little road trip with the family but there's always tomorrow. Have you been sleeping properly and eating properly? I had the same issues you describe up until I changed my diet and went to bed on time. Still not a morning person though.

Agreed on the Miiverse stuff. I wish the Miiverse thread didn't get derailed but whatev. Also, hell yeah cosplay! I wish I had the motivation and money to do an elaborate costume.

You could pull that off easily. Or trade it in for store credit some place. I mean, it's no secret the bone isn't doing great but there are still people who'd pay 250 for one brand new in box.

They seriously forced the terrible ribbon UI for windows explorer? Ugh, that is horrible and dumb. I still hate that you have to use it for office products.

I feel absolutely filthy defending Microsoft here, but you can get rid of the explorer ribbon by literally just right clicking it and selecting "Minimize the Ribbon" and then you never have to see it again. There are similar controls to hide all the other extra junk they've added to Explorer windows over the years. It's hardly something worth getting worked up over, I get more annoyed having to go into the folder settings and turn on file extensions when I do a new install.

Mucking around in Endless Legend and the Talos Principle DLC til I get a chance to have a proper go at Dark Souls 3.

I reckon a lot of folks are gonna be playing DS3. I hope it doesn't murder my sleep cycle. I've a tendency if the game is particularly engrossing to go from playing just an hour to staying up til 4am.

Oh, since I got the new hard drive and graphic card I realized that almost all my save games were on the windows partition. Turns out the only thing I really lost was emulators and their settings/saves.

On a shmup kick again, so I've been getting into Crimson Clover World Ignition.

Wow. The default soundtrack in that game is... not very good! The arranged version is way better, and I guess that's why it's DLC.

Probably gonna play some Eschatos as well!

I haven't been sleeping well, mostly just a case of not being able to get comfortable, but I already knew that that was the cause of my being tired all the time.. Hopefully gonna be able to get something done in the future to help me sleep better.

Yeah my fiancee and I are both into costuming but funds are tight enough that we don't feel comfortable dropping any money on materials at the moment, at least not for fancy outfits. It's a shame cause there are a bunch of outfits that we both want to make but lack of money (and to be frank, lack of skill on my part) prevents us from putting those costumes together.

Redline is a really good movie and I hope everybody is able to watch it some day if they don't mind animated films

Kind of hilariously so. Almost by accident I created an Engineer that stunned enemies on something like three out of four attacks. Most of what I was fighting never even attacked me.

I liked playing the punch class and just freezing everything around me with my fists and then shattering them

a lot of people don't like torchlight 2 saying it is real bad and that there is no reason to play it when you can play diablo 3, diablo 2, path of exile, victor vran, van helsing, marvel heroes, titan quest, grim dawn, etc but idk maybe I'm just stupid or easily entertained but I still enjoy torchlight 2 because it's real simple and short and fun


I remember playing a really bad arpg once tho called Dark Angel: Vampire Apocalypse. It started you off without any kind of guidance, no story, no text, no tutorial, nothing, just dumped you into the game in the middle of a fight with a bunch of poo poo on screen that you don't know what any of it means hahaha

e: seriously check this poo poo out

Yeah, but can you get the traditional menu bar? It looks like it replaces it, with no way to get it back.

There was a PS2 Medal of Honor game, set in the Pacific theatre of World War 2, in which putting in the disk and playing for the first time threw you right into the single player campaign, skipping all menus. The first mission took place at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, and so it was meant to simulate how surprising the attack was for the American soldiers stationed there. And I thought that was pretty cool.

You should probably not go to bat for games you didn't play that are reportedly incredibly buggy.
