i occasionally wander back that far hunting for something i might have written back then well in six months or so according to ohio law you can get a learner s permit for driving at age 15 years 6 months but you can t pass a full driver s test until age 16 posted by redbeard at 6 00 am 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels blogoversary parallel context friday september 27 2024 the engine of bureaucracy at work well it took curseforge about a month but they finally updated the world of warcraft graphics it certainly makes the current wow expansion look like a catfight right out of a night time soap opera such as dynasty to pull an 80s show out of a hat or the good sister versus the bad sister but it s blizz s artwork posted by redbeard at 3 49 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels retail wednesday september 25 2024 forget that builder part how about being a governor well that s the major shift in focus for the newest entry in pathea games my time at series my time at evershine the kickstarter is now live has already passed it s initial goal and is well on its way through the stretch goals i guessed correctly that the events in my time at sandrock led directly to the north development plan and recruitment of you as the new governor of the evershine settlement in case you didn t know you re the govenor now from the my time at evershine kickstarter page the north development plan is an ambitious plan by the free cities alliance to repopulate the area near the border with the duvos empire that northern border has been empty since the last invasion by duvos and you can bet dollars to doughnuts that that area is still coveted by the empire the duvos empire has not exactly been quiet given the events in my time at portia and my time at sandrock so you can bet you re going to see them again in this newest project by pathea judging by the youtube video the character design is looking more mature than that from the first two my time games but given the switch in perspective from that of a builder to a governor it seems a good time for such a change to be made apparently pathea has learned a thing or two about tightening things such as reducing the number of romanceable characters from a metric ton my opinion to a more reasonable number of 8 they are also tightening the story a bit further which is also fine with me oh and i won t spoil it for you but apparently pathea has learned a thing or two from the last two legend of zelda entries you can watch the video for those cues given that it seems they ve been building the game in house over these years that they were able to integrate more capabilities to their series is a welcome addition now can you please take these learnings and fix the pathing in my time at portia will i support the kickstarter well they don t exactly need me right now since already they ve shot past their initial goals so i m content to ride out the development cycle and purchase the game when it goes live to be honest i m rather shocked by the number of people who backed the game at the 500 and higher levels because that s not exactly small potatoes i am impressed however and i will eagerly await this release when it gets closer the little crew at chongqing china continues to impress me with their vision and work ethic so best of luck to them in getting this project to completion if you so choose that is that s not my money though so i kind of just shrug and move along posted by redbeard at 2 58 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels my time at evershine my time at portia my time at sandrock tuesday september 24 2024 the great blizzard bank heist i kind of keep an eye on retail wow but i don t follow much in the way of details for example i couldn t tell you the names of any of the zones from areas after mists of pandaria and probably only half of mists itself or any of the bosses in raids since wrath however kurn of kurn s corner had a post this morning about what she s calling the great blizzard bank heist she also posted a video on youtube describing the situation and what she d lost out of her own personal guild bank a lot of items you simply can t get anymore such as the various dragonscales that would drop from drakes throughout the pre cataclysm world and in blackrock mountain instances raids being a bit of a packrat myself i can feel for her and for all of the others who d been squirreling away rare and no longer obtainable materials gear patterns only to find them all wiped out by the data changes made by blizzard in prep for the war within yeah it s all just pixels i get that and yes i m sure that blizz has hidden away in their terms of service some language meant to protect themselves from problems such as this describing it as best effort that doesn t mean you are immune to the emotional impact of the loss of items you d been collecting for years or well over a decade in kurn s case and being without any recourse other than maybe getting a few items back really sucks that s the real tragedy here the accidental reveal by blizzard that you really own nothing and despite what we may believe and what attachments we have to in game items and achievements they re all just a misclick away from it all vanishing into nothingness blizzard pulled that curtain back and we can t unsee what they showed us even if people were to get everything back like they ought nobody will ever forget that blizzard could take it all away again in the blink of an eye to be fair i didn t know the names of many raid bosses at all until i started raiding in classic wow posted by redbeard at 10 47 am 8

as kids but i can t remember what it was titled for the life of me from pinterest hey that s my job from pinterest yes you detect a trend here somebody got into the keg of hudy 14k in the school s gymnasium again yes there were kegs of beer there where if you were clever you could turn the kegerator on and have a drink must be a west side of cincinnati thing from you guessed it pinterest sometimes my inner middle schooler comes out the first time i saw this one i giggled so hard i began coughing from pinterest and one extra fake book meme i m pretty sure i m going to hell for putting this out out here from facebook posted by redbeard at 6 00 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels meme monday memes friday september 20 2024 video game art the elder scrolls online it s been a few months hasn t it i figured that for this friday i d like to highlight some art from the elder scrolls online eso builds upon the lore from the elder scrolls video game series into an mmo in its own right and over the past decade zenimax has figured out how to keep the game alive after its own disastrous rollout back in the day almost all of this art comes from loading screens for the game which works well in highlighting the style the game intents to evoke can t have an eso game without a dragon making an appearance somewhere the character models look so much better than even the skyrim days this is all of the major npcs minus the faction leads in the original game if you ve ever seen the morrowind expansion trailer you recognize these two of course the dunmer is everybody s favorite morag tong agent naryu these login screens always inspire me the loading screen between zones when you fast travel have a quick overview but i m here for the scenery unlike world of warcraft and i m including warlords of draenor here eso has gone all in on housing it s actually quite nice as similar to swtor there s a variety of houses to select all across tamriel in my wandering around today i stumbled across this quest area that i d never seen before boy was i out of practice on playing these three npcs are found in the original trailers for the elder scrolls online the aldmeri makes an appearance in the summerset trailer and i think the daggerfall covenant rogue shows up in another of the trailers can t remember which maybe it was elsweyr this seems to be a trend about mmos that came out after wow even wow didn t have the greatest original launch people who played back then are fond of reminding me but still a disastrous launch is very difficult to overcome if you don t have any buildup of goodwill from potential players eta corrected spelling posted by redbeard at 9 38 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels elder scrolls online video game art wednesday september 18 2024 just living in interesting times oh yay microsoft got rid of more people from xbox and as michael bell pointed out microsoft just announced a 60 billion stock buyback at the same time so i don t think i ll ever pine for the days of bobby kotick but microsoft is basically claiming poor and cutting people at the same time as they re pumping in tons of cash to prop up the stock price given the lack of tremendous cost savings you get from laying off 2550 people hint it s not 60 billion it certainly seems like microsoft is trying to starve activision blizzard into something submission maybe i m not sure what microsoft is thinking about xbox long term because they re struggling to compete with sony s playstation i do know they re going all in on copilot as i can t open up my work email without seeing another missive from microsoft about how awesome copilot is maybe they re hoping that customer service for xbox games will get so bad that copilot will seem to be an improvement but i doubt microsoft is even thinking that far ahead given that publicly traded corporations have an obligation to maximize shareholder value to the exclusion of all else on the flip side of publicly traded corporations there s private equity basically it s all of the greed and short sightedness of publicly traded corporations but in a private format where their activity is hidden from public view you know everybody s favorite business the embracer group well juraj krupa of aj investments is going after ubisoft and wants to take the company private i have no pity for ubisoft itself but i also have little time for corporate raiders they call themselves activist investors now which makes them sound like a do gooder but the reality is they want to take control of a company maximize their profit and then get out while profits are at their highest what does aj investments want to do oh not much just run ubisoft like how bobby kotick ran activision blizzard complete with a focus on only a few properties that pump out products every year and maximize cash shops and in game purchases ay yi yi may you live in interesting times my ass posted by redbeard at 6 00 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels blizzard corporations microsoft ubisoft tuesday september 17 2024 in case you were wondering i have confirmed that you can t get xp from fishing in retail wow perhaps that isn t news to you but i was curious enough to check since i figured that leveling by fishing would be slower than leveling by gathering herbs or mining ore bummer at least eversong forest is unchanged from tbc yes the graphics are updated in general but by and large the quests are the same as they ve ever been the zone is filled with familiar npcs and enemies frozen in time how do i know this i took my bank alt rogue from 2010 or so and ran around eversong forest to get enough xp from exploring to reach level 5 which is the minimum level to train the fishing skill i got to see all of my old peeps from around the zone yes magistrix dawnstrider and apprentice mirveda are still there as was the dwarf near the arcane sanctum and antheol s wayward apprentices at the bridge crossing i am quite aware that the tbc starter zones are off on their own little area so have been completely unaffected by the cataclysm revamp back in 2010 additionally there might be further phased changes to the zones so what i m seeing is the initial result before say a legion or battle for azeroth change happens still not interested in finding out i was there for the fishing if nothing else the blood elf starter zones are unchanged from 2007 and that brings to me a measure of comfort in a changing world posted by redbeard at 6 00 am 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels blood elves retail monday september 16 2024 meme monday traveling memes my wife and i just got back from visiting our oldest this weekend so we put in a lot of hours on the road that got me to thinking about all of the traveling memes out there so here we are we also had an ulterior motive for the trip which was to drop off the rest of her items that she couldn t fit into our suv the first time around if you ll recall the u haul was up in dayton so she could only fit a few boxes in before i left to bring the truck up there yeah that from supermeme ai and so we tried our best to stuff everything into the cr v somehow we succeeded away we went my brain checked out friday morning but it quickly re engaged when i got pummeled by work that came from out of nowhere to land in my lap i m still dealing with the fallout from all that from memeshappen com this is a problem that only truly became an issue after about 2010 or so but now just making sure you have a charger and cable is half of your packing requirements we had those two items but somehow were missing other things such as toothbrushes from mpora that s something that does kind of annoy me unless i just get a mcdouble from mcdonald s for lunch you re going to spend more money on food than you really want to so when your wife brings up a restaurant to eat at that you know she has complained about the prices in the past you just know that lunch is not going to end well we used to do this but apparently the new trend is to have these large bottles of soap shampoo etc in your hotel room that are pretty much locked in place so you can t walk out with them on the one hand it s nice to not have to worry about having enough shampoo but on the other hand i wonder about sanitary conditions from imgflip it was her birthday posted by
