My wife and I weren't sure what to expect. We took one run at it, failed, then a few months later took another run. We are now thinking we need to watch it again. Truly wholesome.

I'm on my fourth watch of Gilmore girls. Third with my wife. First with my daughter.

Absolutely brilliant TV.

I think there is a lot of wisdom here. I'm old, many of my meaningful relationships were formed before three was an internet. Now I use online tools to stay in touch with friends who are friends I have interacted with face-to-face, not people know solely online.

That's not to say meaningful relationships cannot be owned online. I have met a number of people IRL who I originally met playing Football Manager or on XBox Live.

But online relationships are not a substitute for real face-to-face interactions.

I tell people that making friends needs to be intentional. It takes work and commitment.

She knows she is in the minority.

I am just sad she's missing out.

Witcher 3 is my number 1 game of all time. My wife won't play it because she hates Geralt's voice.

We're playing on XBox Series X, and it behaves reasonably well. We typically split-screen while exploring, and merge the screens during battles.

When playing Divinity:Original Sin 2 we remained in merged screens 90% of the time, but for some reason it feels off in BG3, so we go with the merge only in battles.

Baldurs Gate 3 split screen with my wife.

And now they do!

Very very, heartbreakingly poor. When we first got to Kentucky was blown away by the number of "coal it keeps the lights on" license plates.

My wife hits 30 years in six years. Kentucky is high on my list of places for us to retire to.

BTA 3062 (self.battletech)
submitted 2 years ago by rhacer to c/battletech
 

Shortly after my previous post about BEX, my merc company folded due to a lack of funds.

I took the opportunity to install BTA and give it a try. I love the depth, I love the details, but I'm really struggling with the lack of a cohesive art style. I'm finding it pulling me out of my suspension of disbelief.

Has anyone else had that difficulty? Will I outgrow it with time?

 

If the video game is fair game...

I've been playing BEX, and I suck at it mostly. I always play Ironman, so that entails lots of restarts. I finally have a merc company that has lasted a bit. I've moved up to 2 and 2.5 skull missions.

Needed some money quickly and took a 1.5 skull mission. Comstar showed up, wiped my lance it was the last mission in my current system, I didn't know what I was going to do to not go bankrupt.

Discovered I had Shadowhawk in cold storage sold it, started taking out my "starter" mechs on half-skull and one-skull missions, I'm starting to become a bit more financially solid again and may have survived afterall.
