HeftyPockets

!I ended my first run through the game the other night. Basically had my crew waddle up the left side killing thugs along the way, used a Globe of Invulnerability scroll and Sanctuary to channel the spell, let Wyll rest up with angelic reprieve in the globe, then let everybody march through the portal to smash the brain with ease. A level 1 spell and a scroll you can find more than a few times in the game world was a lot easier and more doable than the initial fight leading up to the finale. I wasn't playing on tactical, but come on, there are Act 1 and early Act 2 fights far more difficult than that. !<

It was a shoot-em-up game with ships for up to two players and you could combine ships for additional firepower.

Hit me like 20 minutes into the movie. No spoilers here. Loved it, btw. Wasn't perfect but it's a good, working ending and I'll forever be glad we got it.

My wife is a registered nurse, has been at Mayo Clinic for ~5 years with a lot to show for it in terms of skill development and on-the-job exceptionalism. I'm a guy who's had a weird-ass CV that includes everything from selling pumpkins to being a radio producer to working in AmeriCorps to teaching autistic children Java coding being the head of a department at one of the oldest non-profits for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in America. I'm fantastic with kids, especially those with disabilities, I've had hands-on (and meaningful) experience with kids who are at-risk or disabled for about 15 years. I do not have a degree.

Do I have any shot at all in the

Not sure if anyone else had this issue, but my Deck had weird rattling upon startup. Couldn't find anything about it among all the other posts/articles/videos surrounding whining fans, because Google seems to take boolean operators as optional these days.

Had the issue but ignored it because once the fan sped up it stopped making the noise. Just for fun, tried tightening the screws on the back just slightly. No more rattling and the device continues to cool just fine.

I didn't make a post about this because it didn't quite seem RMA worthy and getting my inbox slammed with responses about whining fans instead of rattling ones and responding to them didn't seem productive.

If you also run

So I've been a Meat Fan for a long time now (about 20 years now), I've got my own suggestions for stuff that appeals to me: that's Meat/Steinman related.

The Protomen Band

Streets of Fire Movie

Foxy Shazam Band

Footloose Movie

Some of Chris De Burgh's stuff (Don't Pay the Ferryman, for example)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Hellboy

What else have you found that connects to Meat Loaf in some way that you've enjoyed?

I have a HP pavilion mx704 that I plug into my PC for emulation, I'd love something else but just don't have the space or availability to get another CRT worth my time. Marvel Vs Capcom 1 and 2 and Crash Bandicoot made my wife understand at a glance just why I had been looking for "some old TV". The colors just pop so beautifully on that screen.

What's your go-to for eye candy?

So I can use my Gameboy Color as a PC controller, and for some games (Killer Queen Black, for example), it's amazing. For stuff like Crawl, it doesn't quite work. I tried remapping the Gameboy Color buttons via Steam Controller configuration, but it seems to not let me save and finish mapping in Big Picture mode since I just don't have enough buttons on the gamepad to finish filling out all inputs. Any ideas how to get this 4 button + Dpad input device to be Steam friendly?

I just got off of a 2 hour phone call, trying to get my eero then my TP-Link router to work with static IP. Confirmed correct numbers between app, email, and technician on the line and got absolutely nowhere with it, and then had problems just getting my DHCP connection online again. Had no issues accessing the internet when my laptop was hard-wired to the modem. Neither router has had problems before.

They're sending a tech out on Saturday, which is fine, but I'm just wondering what to expect and if I'm just going to end up with them shrugging their shoulders and telling me to forget about it.

I keep seeing players quit at the very end of a match, before a loss is even registered (time still on the clock, or game is still in overtime). I understand the dumb impulse to rage quit (even though I wouldn't do it myself, especially at the last second). I'm just trying to understand whether this is mere toddler-level behavior or just some tryhard trying to game their stats.
