The sound of silence. There is no need for game music.

Where’d they go? Larian?

The republicans we know said today to expect trouble and to gas up and get groceries and just hunker down for a while. Which is not at all ominous.

I won’t be watching. I’m going out to my shop at 8. No internet out there. And probably not emerging until dead of night or early morning. Then, like a lot of other women, I’ll check on my status as a person going forward.

My other half is taking Benadryl and forcing himself to go to bed. He’s given strict instructions not to wake him, even if it’s good news, with a clear Kamala win. (Yea, trouble later, but it’ll still tell us what We The People decided up front, and that means a lot.)

Right there with you.

The press has already walked back at the threat of Trump, so the autocracy has already begun. It’s happening, pre election.

It’s nice over here, it’s not the same 15 questions across subs every 3 days. It’s not the same recycled stories ad nauseam. And, there’s more Gowron.

Remember, Bioware started as a love project for DND. Baldurs gate. Neverwinter nights. (NWN was a community!) Some of us are from that time, just old DND people scratching that itch.

I’m one of them.

I’m constantly looking for that game format since Mass Effect 1 and Dragon Age Origins.

There’s been what? Greedfall. That’s it.

Which is sad. TV series have knocked movies on their asses as the better media lately because they are now the better story tellers. This format of game tells the best stories.

And yet they’re just not being made.

As much as I’d like this game ASAP, I’m still waiting.

I just read an article about a ballot box being lit on fire in a heavily blue locale. After my initial horror I thought why there as opposed to anywhere else blue? There’s a tight contest for the house rep in that district, a purple district.

It’s better on your mental health, wanting a good escapist game and story, not to have first release bugs interrupting you. Wait for the second patch.

By then, real reviews will make themselves known.

Oh hell no. Not until the first two patches are rolled out.

Stay busy. Get your to-do list done. Take overtime shifts. Spend the angsty energy so it doesn’t turn inward and render your gut into sieve.

Rich entitlement. It’s not enough to be comfortable and have the capacity to play for the rest of your life, you have to bulldoze through others because you feel entitled to their stuff too.

The kids comment. Have you read about Elon’s dad? The guy apparently groomed his stepsister, the sick fuck.

And Elon echoes the guy with his we’re only on earth to reproduce crap.

How accurate is that data? I have a relative who received different results from their family tree than expected. So they sent it in again. Different results. Annoyed, they sent on yet another test. Again, different results. Not slight either, entire additions and subtractions.

Wait. Why does it have ads? Aren’t you paying them for an ad free experience? If not, what’s the point?

Because people aren’t broke enough.

Damn. I didn’t think they used plastic back in the day, I assumed it was a modern thing. Well. You know what they say about assume. Thx for the correction.

That’s why I said it depends on how light your prescription is. The husband has coke bottle lenses and cannot do glass. But he has to use the case. He has to use a special cloth to clean the lenses. He has to check against cleaning chemicals. He has to be very careful or they scratch, doesn’t matter what “special coating” is there. Those lenses do scratch up.

I’m less than -2 in both eyes so the weight doesn’t matter so much for me. I drop mine on the (bacterial lava) floor of a patient care area and I can grab whatever industrial, don’t use bare hands, wipe is available to purge the lenses of bacterial and viral load. And then stick them loose in a pocket with keys, pens, loose change, scissors, and they come out after a couple hours of that scratch free.

I get hit in the face. For decades. And decades of dropping them on concrete and everywhere else. No issues, breaks, or scratches thus far.

What are the stats on that? Are they a reality for the curved milled glass lens? Or is it a falsehood used to sell planned obsolescence lenses?

I’m been smacked in the face and dropped them multiple times on concrete, industrial linoleum tile, and hardwoods. Never even seen a crack. I’m sure there are things that can do so, like an airbag exploding in your face, but I can’t imagine shattered broken milled plastic not being dangerous as well.

You have to ask for glass. They bury it in favor of the garbage that scratches up over time.
