I own an LGS and during covid I had a lot of “paying it forward” and it created a LOT of extra work for me for very little pay out.

I had a friend from high school who now lives 2200 miles away. He purchased a game through my online shop and instead of shipping it to him he had me give it to someone local. That person bought a game, and did the same thing. This went on for two weeks or so. Everyone wanted me to do some kind of contest for their game. I was putting in 2-3 hours of work for $20 or so. After two weeks or however long it was, I gave up. I told the last person who bought it I gave it to a random person.

This was all during the lock down so I could not even be open at the time. I had to hand deliver the prize around town, or set up a place for them to pick it up. I loved the idea of it all, but it was not worth it on my end at all.

Has reverse vitiligo.

This is sounding like don_dickle2.0

$50 bucks little man, put that shit in my hand.

Last year we had to put down our 20+ year old cat. We rescued her from my sister who had to leave her at our dad’s house after her first divorce. The cat’s actual age was uncertain, but I found an old digital camera with pictures of her in 2004.

It was a tough decision to make as she appeared to be fine mentally, but her body was not working. Her joints had become loose and made it difficult for her to control her movements.

Or be two places at once.

Never heard of him.

Yes. The near-by town (8 miles away) got a flashing traffic light when I think I was in 4th grade. Then the next town had 3 stop lights. The city was 90 miles away.

Guessing mods are only available on Steam, and not on ps5.

Home and yes

We did not have indoor toilets until I was in 6th or 7th grade, and the indoor shower came a year or so later.

In elementary school in the early 80s I was called poor (which I was) because I had to bring a box lunch in an old beat up lunchbox my mom got from a yard sale for a nickel, and could not afford cafeteria lunches. All my food was home made and the kids made fun of everything I brought. It got so bad I used to get in trouble all the time so I always had lunch detention and had to eat with my teacher.

I’m still not sure why there is vegetarian Spam, but…

I became a full time vegetarian 10 or 11 years ago. There are still some dishes I miss that had meat in them. Not necessarily the meat itself. Some I have modified to be vegetarian. Other I have not.

All in all there are not a lot I find myself wanting. One is an Italian cold cut sub, another is various dishes made with spam. 20 years ago I worked in a logistics department and most of my coworkers were from the Philippines, I learned to love spam. It was also a great camping food. I would love to try vegetarian spam.

How are you liking AstroBot?

I have only played 3 levels so far, but it was a lot of fun. There are some neat mechanics in it.

I have let WoW dominate my life for many years and missed out on a lot of other games. So I have never played Mario Odyssey. My brother and his son have played nothing but AstroBot since it released.

His review of it:

Ahhh lol kk, yea cant help it, this platformer is truely badass Best one in series so far

I want the chat aspect of discord. I use it for my business (local game shop) to keep customers updated on preorders, new releases, and events at the shop, and to just chat with everyone. It has a much better reach than Facebook or Instagram.

I got AstroBot yesterday, so I started that. I also stared a seasonal Druid in d4 that I am working on leveling. Plus the new NMS expedition (I do them on both ps5 and steam). And I need to do the Emboar teraraid in pokemon violet today. And I am running d&d tomorrow.

This is a busy weekend.

I decided to try guilded.gg as an alternative to discord finally, only to find out they now require a Roblox account to log in. So much for that idea.

If I travel alone I am okay. I list what I need to take with me. If I travel with my family, I am horrible and yell and scream at every little thing that goes wrong as we are leaving. Once traveling I am fine, it is the leaving that is the issue.

I have been raw dogging life without meds almost my entire life. There was a 2 year period in high school I did speed, and then when I went to community college my wife shared her meds with me. The other 40ish years have taught me how to deal.

I have alarms for everything throughout my day. I have a routine. I have specific places to put certain things. When I deviate I am screwed.

Every time I hear Fediverse I imagine a universe full of nothing but different versions of Kevin Federline.
