    Westworld

    Westworld season 3 really let me down. I was so fucking hyped up for it. I got two pizzas, a bag of Doritos, and half a dozen donuts ready to binge while I binged. I got through two thirds of the first episode and ended up falling asleep with half a pizza left. So boring.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    The anniversary event ends on May 12. So there is still some time to get the login bonuses. Treebeard is only on its first expansion (Moria), so joining up now isn't very late at all. It's every 6 month for expansions, so the next one will open up in early June. The population isn't huge, but...

    I've had that. Those pizzas are actually small as shit.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I'm working my way through Moria on Treebeard (slow progression server). I'm dual boxing a guardian and minstrel, so I've got my minstrel on auto follow. I had forgotten what a dangerous place Moria is. Definitely an old school MMO expansion. No invisible walls here! My poor minstrel has fallen...

    Weight Loss Thread

    I feel like that can apply to any fitness equipment. "You could use X and do Y for Zth of the price." You could go lift rocks in a field, but sometimes you just want cool shit.

    Even if places in the US offered amazing stuff like this, they'd be "out" half the time (i.e., the shit employees wouldn't feel like making it), or it would be made with 0% effort and look and taste like garbage. *Edit* With the exception of Chick-fil-a

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    I'm sure it'll result in 30 seconds of screaming WOOOOOOoooooOOOOooooOOOOO and clapping from all the nerds. I've realized I can't see these movies opening night anymore, because of that wooooo shit. Just let me hear the movie dialogue, god damnit!

    They really embraced that old school MMO feel with an epically game-breaking patch. Memories!

    The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

    My wife and I blew through the whole series over the last few weeks. I had absolutely zero interest in watching it, although people have been telling me for years that it's good. My wife and I alternate picking shows to watch, and this was her pick so I had no choice. I'm glad she did, because I...

    I loved Kenny Rogers Roasters. For about a year of my childhood we went there every Saturday night. They had the best barbecue chicken sandwich.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I just finished playing through the newest free mid-level (low 40s) zone they recently added: The Angle of Mitheithel. It looks great. It's connected to the Trollshaws, so it has that nice autumn forest aesthetic. I don't think there are any new assets, though. It's all recycled mob models...

    The Beer Thread

    I ended up going to Southern Tier. Apparently they have a brewery and taproom right in downtown Pittsburgh. It was a good place with some tasty beers of theirs I hadn't had before. Southern Tier is one of my mainstream go-to's at the liquor store, so it was a nice surprise to find that.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    City of Heroes controllers was peak MMO fun for me. I loved how it wasn't just variations on sleeping enemies. Knock backs, knock downs, knock ups, sleeps, stuns...so much variety. No other MMO classes have been quite as much fun.

    Total War: Warhammer

    I played 1 for a few months before picking up 2, and I wished I'd just gone straight for 2. Not only is there a lot more content if you have both due to mortal empires, there are lots of small changes. For example, vampire counts were no fun to play in 1 because they were missing a key...

    I'd settle for grocery stores that sell beer, even if it's only IPAs and shandies. I'd fucking love to pick up some beer with my Doritos and pizza rolls.

    I'm going to be in Pittsburgh for a few days on business next month. Any good breweries I should check out while there? I'd love a place I can chill for a few hours to escape spending time with my coworkers. I'll have a car so I can head outside the city easily if there are any good places in...

    Home Improvement

    I had a bad mice problem years ago. I used the good old wooden traps with peanut butter and had little luck. I switched to a smoked gruyere (no joke) and overnight killed several. A couple more rounds and they were gone. They couldn't get enough of my gruyere.

    It's pretty amazing. I remember the initial Switch reveal where they shook the joycon like it was a little glass filled with ice. The whole thing seemed so underwhelming. I really thought it was going to be a flop.

    How man emails do you deal with professionally?

    Between 500 and 1000 every month, depending heavily on the time of year. I used to get a lot more every day. We've recently started using Teams for things that would have previously been a one-line email. Fuck texts. I don't want anyone from work knowing my phone number, let alone sending me...

    It'll get an overall boost when the Amazon Lord of the Rings show comes out. I think the consensus is SSG is planning updates and marketing push to coincide with that, which makes a lot of sense. I don't know what other sever populations are like. There are a couple global chat channels, and...
