    Running through Classic with my group of high school friends was pretty damn magical. We all played together at launch and it was pretty much all we talked about between classes. We had all drifted away through the years with other responsibilities, but WoW brought us back together.

    We don’t play WoW anymore, but now we all hang out in discord all of the time and play other stuff. A few of us are setting aside time for Baldurs Gate 3 now!

    The games themselves have changed, but I think it’s the friends that can bring me back to a different time.



  • 100% refunded the cost of the starter kit and any games purchased. (Not sure if microtransactions were refunded too)

    They even made it possible to convert your stadia controller to standard Bluetooth through a free update hosted by Google themselves.

    I really enjoyed the tech and used mine quite a bit. I’m sad to see it gone, but they actually handled it in a respectable way.



  • I just dipped my toe in the last few days or so. It’s missing some QoL that existed in previous versions.

    I run 3 monitors. My center one is my primary display with the other 2 just being extra real estate. I wanted my taskbar to be on the left monitor and out of the way. On W10, you’d unlock the taskbar, drag it to the monitor you wanted it, then lock it up again.

    W11 will either let you have it on all of your monitors or only your primary monitor. I don’t want all my stuff opening on a secondary monitor by default.

    I know it’s petty, but it’s frustrating to have an easy feature stripped






  • I’m still in grocery retail and this is incredibly accurate. Corporate set expectations to be “Grand Opening Ready” throughout the entire day. Customers dig and dig through the produce department like there’s going to be a bag of salad that is magically better in the back of the case. If expiration dates went down to the second, they’d look for the furthest from expiry.

    It’s super frustrating because we get 7 trucks a week for produce, so we have a very healthy turnover on our stuff.

    This job has changed me (especially going through COVID in the South). People are animals.





  • The friend group tried to play D&D over discord and it was like pulling teeth to get everyone online at the same time. I typically like having multiple players in games like this because it makes it more fun to actually play AS the character because we all have different motives/mindsets.

    I’m doing a solo campaign first while I’m impatient, then I’ll do a group campaign when everyone can actually get together.


  • Another World Tier would be ideal to make the 80-100 gap not feel so shitty.

    A horde mode/boss rush game type like Halls of Torment or Vampire Survivors. Give me upgrades that only work for the run, but as you kill more and more you get some kind of currency that can be used to purchase permanent gear for your character. I guess it’s just Helltides with ramping difficulty and density.

    Paladin/crusader is a must at this point. I’ve missed monk from D3 and hope it returns at some point. I’d like for them to make some kind of turret building/tinker class fit thematically. Give me bombs and junk!
