I'll never cease to be amazed by game forums. I've yet to visit a one that didn't proclaim that the game was dying/being killed by the most current patch/will be killed by a toxic community/etc

I'm betting the answer is "not a lot"

Starting to think that life is giving me some not so subtle hints about priorities.

  • Guy who was supposed to come by and plow the plot at the back of the yard on Saturday shows up this morning.
  • Guy who was supposed to buy and haul off my old car on Saturday shows up this morning.
  • Neighbor had an issue and asked for help so…helped him
  • Server in Ohio goes crazy. Dealt with that on cell while dealing with the two tardy guys and my neighbor
  • Server in Kentucky goes crazy. Dealing with that over cell as well.
  • Ancient server in Virginia done in by age and power surges from all the snow. Dealing with that simultaneously.

Just now, at 11:30AM, I make it into the office.

This is definitely Monday.

I'd rather them be switched too. Trust me.

Today's agenda: Grab another couple of hard drives, redo our home server with EL7, and set up mail services again.

Also: Get the cilantro, chives and watercress planted.

I don't even want to think of how much money I wasted on Omega Race and Space Invaders.

My wife and I used to have impromptu CounterStrike matches but that was years ago. I'm more into open world gaming at this stage.

Unfortunately, my peak, fast twitch muscle happened during the 8-bit era.

Ahhh. Okay. I walked away from that genre when Quake Arena became old news.
