I should have better things to do with my time but I must admit a morbid fascination with seeing the collapse of all these gross mediocre internet white dudes all in public view, feels a bit cathartic when all the bigger problems seem intractable

Did you talk to Diego the Duelmaster

FirstAidKite

Yes

He told me about duel tournaments and how to join in pvp tourney brackets.

I don't care about duel tournaments because there is no way in hell a level 10 life mage who isn't a subscription member so hell if I can get proper gear or spells for it.


Also, due to how the name system works (you have 3 names, [First] [Second][Third], for example, Joseph SunFist), it turns out that one of the potential names you can make is "Luke SkyWalker" and I've seen several people with that name. You can also opt for the 2nd and/or 3rd name to be blank so you just end up with the first name and maybe one of the other names, but unfortunately "Peter" is not one of the possible first names so I could not make "Peter Griffin" :(

I like how they designed that shark without thinking for one second about the pole that would have to go through it.

Yeah, they just picked out various monster models for the carousel and stuck a rod through them so that's the shark summon that storm people get access to. Presumably storm people because it has an electric aesthetic.

This is bordering on a first world problem, but loving game launchers, man. Middle of the night I get the vague urge to play Spore, and its installer ain't working on my system for some reason. That's okay, I'll just load Origin and put in the code that way. Nope, Past Me used the code ages ago (probably when installing it an age ago, possibly because said code doesn't work with Origin), so it won't let me use it.

It's only 20 bucks on Origin, but gently caress if I'm going to pay for a game I own - a game I'm bound to load, play for about an hour, and then decide that no, I'm just bored and tired and can't sleep.

Not paying 20 for Spore is a great decision, i think its £5 in the steam sale right now

It's actually zero dollars for me, because evidently Past Bibs had the same random impulse to play Spore and bought it on Steam. Even though he had a physical copy, so why...

... unless it crashes on load so I'm downloading it again and why am I doing this I know I'm going to be loving bored of it :negative:

I can see why one can get bored of it, especially given how WW promised the moon. The game has always seemed to slot well into "gently caress what do I want to play" moods for me; going from Cell -> Space tends to be the answer. Once I was a Space Empire and all I had to do was do that, I was done.

Geoff trying to draw up potential categories for a "Virtual Video Game Awards", tries to sneak back in the "Trending Gamer" award and has to be told by everyone in the conference call that the category needs to stay dead. It's a cursed category, no more trending gamers Geoff.

He gets a surprise kiss in the first game and in response shudders in disgust, please only kiss with consent.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

A minor thing considering the whole infidelity situation... but I disliked how he brought in his wife as "Nurse Disrespect", that seemed to be pointlessly reinforcing regressive gender roles

Last 2 weekends have been a hilarious wash for me in a "Yup that's 2020 for ya" sense.

A week ago I was sick with a head cold and had to cancel a tattoo appointment.
Today I had a reaction to a flu-shot I got yesterday and woke up with a fever+uncontrollable shivering for half the day and had to cancel a massive board game day I had planned.

Looking forward to getting the plague next week.
