Text of the page (random words):
ah i play that too there were a couple can t afford that right now and a few huh what game is that reactions usually right about now someone will point out those profit numbers and how many people tend to watch the league championships that s nice and all but league still has a ways to go to match the viewership of the 2023 major league baseball world series and that world series was the least watched series in television history by comparison 300 million people worldwide watched joe frazier beat muhammad ali in 1971 from sports illustrated it s kind of strange how boxing doesn t have the cultural cachet that it used to have but i honestly believe that the pursuit of profit and moving boxing from something you could see on television to a strictly pay per view environment hurt the long term health of the sport if you don t have eyeballs watching your product it ll fade from public consciousness so video games are this financial juggernaut but that s largely on the backs of mobile games and live service games where you constantly feed money to the beast but the long term cultural impact well that remains to be seen my perspective as a gamer is that gaming is having a large cultural impact but that s because i m inside the ecosystem however my work and life take me outside the ecosystem and for that reason alone i remain skeptical we may no longer be in a world where a single cultural event dominates over all others such as the final episode of m a s h or the release of michael jackson s thriller but that doesn t mean that gaming is lost in the noise i think that we gamers just need to realize that we re not as culturally important as we think we are as of 2022 via a forbes article which i won t link to because it s behind a stop using your adblocker wall courtesy of the leaked graphic about wow subscriptions if they don t at first think that i go out to gambling casinos that is that s gotten better over the years but you still have to read the room before you declare your full frontal nerdity to people and before somebody pipes up with the violence inherent in boxing the popularity of mma and ufc belies that those latter two can be easily found

television video games wednesday april 10 2024 life as a kindergarten teacher mmo style several people in my friend group on wow classic era have been leveling mages lately so they ve prevailed upon me to help get them through some of the low to mid level instances i may not run boosts for people for profit but i can do this for friends since my gear is about as good as you can get without going into raids more on that on another post i can solo up through about partway into uldaman if the people i m helping to run through instances are high enough level to actually be there due to quests we ought to be able to handle all of uldaman and most of maraudon and zul farrak still it s not a big deal and it does keep me in practice inside uldaman did i mention that they were all gnomes oh yes and the herding cats mentality runs strong in my friends which led me to a revelation so what did i do i took that and ran with it having raised three kids i know the drill my friends were only too happy to oblige this is wow classic era mind you and to reach the end in uldaman you need at least three people in a group to start an event that opens up the last part of the dungeon still i can do trash mobs and whatnot through most of the instance without dying eta fixed a problem with one of the graphics posted by redbeard at 3 23 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels friends humor mages screenshots wow classic tuesday april 9 2024 that day when a dragon ate the sun so there was this event yesterday that might have been on the news okay it wasn t exactly like this but you get the idea from the runequest starter set book 2 glorantha artwork is by hazem ameen found here on artstation given that cincinnati is right on the edge of totality if i drove about 15 minutes to the west i d be in totality i decided to take the day off and enjoy the view i d planned this well enough in advance that i d bought a couple of packs of eclipse glasses and had distributed them to family and friends we still had enough left over for my wife and myself and i figured i d use a third pair to try to get a photo via my smartphone wherever we ended up going to watch the eclipse that is i wasn t exactly worried about where we d end up but my wife wanted things to go well and so we ended up driving 50 miles north to dayton we left at 11 15 am with totality set to reach the dayton area at 3 09 pm traffic was expected to be heavy with people heading west on i 74 into indiana and north on i 75 toward dayton and for midday i 75 certainly felt like rush hour traffic on the trek north things began to clear out once we reached the dayton city limits and we got off the highway right by the university of dayton thinking that maybe the ud arena s parking lot might be available for eclipse watching it wasn t so we drove into downtown dayton and had lunch at a favorite haunt of ours from when we attended 33 years ago the spaghetti warehouse for those interested in whether i could find something that fit my diet requirements yes i could i had a salad a little after 1 00 pm we set out to try to find a place to watch the eclipse we knew some spots such as the national museum of the us air force were not a good idea that place was expected to be a nuthouse we also knew that the neil armstrong air and space museum about 45 minutes north of dayton in neil s birthplace of wapakoneta was supposed to be swamped other places on our radar such as local parks and even woodlawn cemetery immediately next to ud where the wright brothers are buried were holding watch parties and you had to pay some decent amount of money just to attend there s a native american archaeological site nearby sunwatch village but their watch party required payment of 500 again not happening we quickly realized that most of the city and surrounding area had cancelled classes and businesses so a lot of people were simply home for the day so we decided to check out the area around the dayton art institute the dayton art museum to see if there was a crowd there no not our car it s not visible there wasn t we parked on the street and walked over to the masonic hall next to the dai found a cherry tree to sit under and pulled out some books to relax with while the eclipse began as the eclipse came closer the telltale crescent shape began appearing on the shade through the tree the eclipse glasses i d bought did the trick so we could take a look as the moon slowly ate the sun the only bad part was that the filter on the glasses did their job too well and i couldn t get a photo from my smartphone because the phone couldn t resolve to a sharp image i decided i wasn t going to bother and left the phone alone daylight slowly dissipated until the moment of totality then everything dipped immediately into twilight you d think this was after 8 00 pm here on the edge of downtown dayton yes this was during totality the eclipse glasses even protected against the sun s corona so i had to take them off to steal a glance of the eclipse itself just a second or two but it was quite a sight i could even see venus nearby but since i wasn t in a dark sky area i couldn t see any other stars i can see why earlier civilizations thought a total solar eclipse was a sign from the gods or a portent of disaster your choice because it s one of those things that your brain has trouble processing while it s happening when you ve seen the sun in one state all your life and then this occurs it gives you pause even though you knew intellectually that this was expected can confirm it looks like this from a facebook post by the cincinnati and hamilton county public library although it felt that time stood still it was over all too fast just like someone flicked switch the daylight returned the sky was still a brilliant and rich blue most everybody else who came to watch the eclipse left soon thereafter but we hung around for an hour to let the traffic on the highway clear out a bit then what did we do we went to a bookstore of course i sent this pic to my questing buddy who has read both of these books as i was amused by the small print on the poster yes our alma mater class of 1991 thankyouverymuch and yes it was fully booked eta corrected some grammar posted by redbeard at 6 00 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to
