Blue heelers are great dogs. Goofy as hell. We've got one that's mixed with (we suspect) border collie and he's awesome. Terrified of our cat (justified as the cat is a jerk), somehow has zero herding instinct.

I initially went with wheels because there's such thing as 2 door cars, and that office chairs have 5 wheels, generally.

Elden Ring is so so good. I've bounced off of the other soulslike game hard but I can't get enough of this one. The open world makes it much better.

Its so big I'm getting legit decision paralysis on what to do. At least with dark souls there was a semi-defined path, or with Horizon I see quest markers but I just kinda get overwhelmed and don't want to play for too long lol

I found a map that shows the general progress with approx. levels per zone that might be helpful. Spoilered below just in case you don't want to see it.



I'm still only low level 20's so I've been wandering around Limgrave and and the Weeping Peninsula and checking out random spots that look like buildings on the map. I love how it's undefined.

Seeing favorable comparisons to BOTW in general circles (yes, I know botw is not well liked in this thread so spare me the "it's botw but actually good") makes me super curious about Elden Ring but I've also seen enough classic soulsborne "hey you know what, gently caress you specifically" clips to know I'd probably bounce off it like the others.

Five pairs of wheels, so ten total. At least in my experience

It's my first true souls game (I played Nioh but that's its own thing). I'm doing ok, cheesed some leveling, making a little progress. My plan was to be way overleveled to put up with my terrible, terrible ability, but according to that map I'm hanging out in an appropriate zone and don't feel like I'm getting killed undeservedly. I'm more cursing myself than the game.

Embracing that you're just going to eat it constantly seems to be the main difference between these types of games and others.

Refrigerators have doors AND wheels, usually. There are wheels so you can slide the fridge out if you need to. At least our fridge has them.

We both have hooded eyes and narrow-ish noses. That's pretty much where the similarities end. Ronda could absolutely kick my rear end, no question. But I'm still a bad bitch.

My job involves defib development so it's cool as hell to hear stories about this. It's neat to hear him specify that it wasn't a "heart attack", shows he actually paid attention when people were talking to him about it afterwards. Not having an AED on a set is pretty :stare: though

I’m skeptical of the timing for several reasons (12min is a loooooong time in resus) but refractory VF/VT finally breaking without antiarrhythmics is lucky as hell. CPR saves loving lives.

Either way I’m glad they did a good job and that Bob is still with us. He’s a treasure.

I'm of the same opinion but the last time it came up a lot of people were pretty vocal about not liking it and there's a couple other TFF regulars who Kramer into Nintendo threads about how actually BOTW is a bad game every time it gets brought up so I presumed that was kind of the prevailing opinion.

Same buddy same, including my previous addiction to Civ.

My recent game that I just bailed on, I was Waldensian and I had converted like half of Europe. I had taken over Orthodox for 2nd most popular Christianity sect and I was on my way to topping Catholicism. loving Pope declared a Holy War on me and I was winning, but it was turning into a real slog.

CK is one of those games I would probably love if I powered through, hosed around, and failed a few times. It has been one I dip my toe into every once and a while since Idle Thumbs and the Tragedy of Ragnar, but have just never gotten fully into.

For now it's Elden Ring when I'm solo and Borderlands 3 on Discord nights. Playing Borderlands in relatively short chunks (admittedly usually drinking and/or high) means I am *just* about able to remember all the systems by the time we're done, then forget it all by the next time we play.

Also our manager sent an invite to happy hour at the end of March named "Happy Hour: About Time", and I'm real tempted to send the clip from the end of the Starcraft 2 announcement trailer.

Both of my boys have recently cost me close to $4,000 in likely stress-related urinary issues, so that’s my my main reason for not wanting to introduce a new doggo into the home unfortunately.

Oh I wasn't asking to pressure you about it, we live in the twin cities area and I have been thinking about talking to my wife about getting another dog with me hopefully having a better work/life balance here soon.
