We did ours as soon as we had the documents, around mid Feb. Despite how incredibly awful everything is lately, there’s still child tax credits and daycare credits from smarter times. No reason to procrastinate that, especially as we can invest it in a long term fund for the kids.

Win the cyborg over by accident with my overwhelming charisma and together we overthrow the BBEG.

Of a high school of 600 people, they all know that one kid who is dating their AI, just like we knew that one kid who was emotionally attached to his anime body pillow.

If neither, Nuclear Fallout Friday…

True. I think Tetra mod might let you, at least. Although I think you need something for the binding still so it’s not 1:1, lol

A few mods let you do this. You shouldn’t, but you could.

You knew exactly the game I had in mind, haha. A little yellow paint might have gone a ways with that one… but you know, not literally yellow paint. Lol

I play so many old games I practically forgot about yellow paint, but the last AAA I played didn’t use that or minimaps, and despite being mostly linear, it was an absolute chore in an overly detailed environment.

Ya don’t need literal yellow paint like in some games (although I know there’s reasons for that) but lighting is really a nice way to do it. And in either case it’s better than waymarks and big ol’ arrows pointing the fastest route to a quest target, I still want to use my brain a little after all!

It is hopeless…

Because it’s the fucking red coins BEFORE you get the that star so you need some fancy jumps to get it and no matter how hard I try I can’t seem to do it and ugh I’m never gonna get that sweet RA badge-- hopeless.

A little unfair since Chevron is often 50 cents to a dollar more, but it’s still pretty bad. 5.60 a gallon at the cheapest. We still tax our gas though.

Yeah, I always thought that was neat since it’s mostly a happy accident from needing to allow freed slaves citizenship. I much prefer that over some sort of bloodline metric.

Mumble was… fine. My friends actually moved to Discord from Mumble for our MMO stuff but that was primarily because it was easier to invite randos to the chat. That quality makes it almost impossible to break away from atm.

I recall the latency being only a little worse than Discord, but I think that’s because a friend set up the server at his work as a side thing (he also hosted Minecraft and Terraria). It’s not too complex to setup, but your quality will depend a lot on the computer and network you’re running. At least, it did for us, back in the day.

We’ve thought about alternatives to Discord. Old names were Ventrilo and TeamSpeak but they’re just not very modern. Plus, now almost every chat app has voice, too. Just, for features, it’s hard to beat Discord at this… though I’m willing to read the other comments to get for ideas, too. Lol
