Today is the 90th Birthday of my High School Gifted and Talented Coordinator, and my cousin seems to be breaking out the very telling photos of my past.
This is me in my freshman year posing for the yearbook picture of the Academic Bowl team. I am on the back row right side... with the deeply confused permed "hangover" bangs thing going on.
I seethe raw animalistic dork power
We all hated those damned sweaters and the 100% polyester polos
God of War Ragnarok is coming out next week... but I gotta say. I enjoyed playing it with a mouse and keyboard on PC way more than I did with a controller on PS.
As interested as I am in this game, I think I am just going to wait until the eventual PC release and ignore it until then.
Are you planning on picking it up and playing at launch?
Pretty chill morning so far. I finished breakfast and now hanging out running my favorite iron route in #NewWorld while catching up on some YouTube videos on the second monitor and randomly chatting here.
Weekend mornings are legit the best.
We had a family thing tonight... and Gracie the kitten is losing her damned mind. It's like she cannot fathom where we might have been all night.
She long ago figured out how to climb the entertainment center and crawl into the cloth boxes on the top shelf. She is now trying to figure out how to get from that position to the very top. She is parkour cat.
This friend is a Fel Drake. There is a controversy brewing since #Warcraft is about to give this away as a Twitch drop.
I have had one for years because I used to play the TCG game and as such have a bunch of these items. Third-party sellers have apparently been gouging people $3500 for this thing.
I greatly dislike artificial scarcity. So I say burn the third-party market to the ground and give away ALL the TCG items.
#NewWorld is a bizarre game in that usually I expect cash shop MTX to be much nicer looking than the stuff you get in-game. At least that is almost always the case when a game has a cash shop. All of the cool skins I have either came from events like this pumpkin helm, or from twitch drops/prime rewards.
The actual cash shop skins mostly look awful.
It cracks me up that often the most efficient way of doing things takes the ugliest screenshots. The Baalphazu boss strategy was mostly to have everyone dogpile the boss and drop healing circles to keep everyone alive during the AOE damage phase.
This means that most of the screenshots I took last night look like this, just a jumble of arms and legs fighting a boss that you cannot see.
Yet another property that I did not win. The lottery system is so much better than "fastest fingers" first "wait for the property to go" on sale mode, but still infuriating.
We are to the point where each week there is maybe a single property on Cactuar up for bids and I have not been lucky yet.
It will never cease to amuse me that the hemp plants in #NewWorld are bright magenta. I assume this was a compromise to get around some manner of censorship.
