Can’t beat their happy hour

There is a small group of United supporters that show up for the matches there and its guaranteed they will have the match on.

I like that analysis.

If you like vegetarian/vegan food check out veggie Galaxy. Even if you don’t like vegetarian /vegan food it’s awesome.

Lol, that used to be a common thread pre-covid. Perhaps it'll come back when the warm weather sticks around.

Lol apparently the “capability” is good enough. What a cope.

Hah yep, was hoping to get out there when they opened though

Woof at the thought that there are still people out there that spend $500+/mo. just to get to/from work for their employer. That’s multiple utility bills!

It's a psychological tangle of wires imo. A major appeal of gaming is control. You press the button and it responds to that command immediately. Makes monkey brain feel good in a world of little control.

But having total control also means you're responsible for any fuck ups like not parrying at the right time and dyin like ass. It causes an immediate self-reflection that causes some to be embarrassed, frustrated, angry, deflect...ect. And some respond to these emotions with anger.

Adults do it all the time in real life but they don't realize it's the same as "gamer rage". How many times have you seen a full grown adult do somethin stupid, embarrassing, or frustrating and lose their mind? Stub their toe and get angry at the wall despite THEM being the only thing in motion. Not the fuckin wall.

People get very angry when forced to reconcile they don't have as much control as they thought, have control and still fucked it up, or just plain made a mistake. Learning how to reflect on oneself can be difficult when you're young. But it's important to do so. Or you'll become that dude that freaks out anytime you make a tiny mistake or miscalculation. Or worse, deflect and project it onto others and become an insufferable narcissist.

Edit- sorry I love video games and psychology and have seen this shit in online gaming for decades lol. People snapping Wii remotes in half cause they fucked up jumped into spikes and blame Mario.

The rapidly dropping barometric pressure has given me a blazing headache. Does anyone else get that?

Bagelsaurus?

Honestly it's not just "gamer rage," it could happen with tennis or other sports, too. I suggest finding ways to help focus the kid on having fun playing vs winning. This is something I struggled with as a kid and identifying some coping mechanisms back then could have helped me a lot with life in general.

in the short term, sure, but not in the long term. i frequently make pretty big downloads.

idk RIC is fine. My only gripe is that it doesnt have all the direct flights I want.

Its a small airport so its not a headache to get through security and get to your gate. There's also no traffic coming from or to the airport.

eta: mostly I fly out of DCA or IAD or BWI instead because of the lack of direct flights + RIC costs more to fly out of

Thank you! “TO GLORY! Ah haaa!”

He also smokes a cigar so I’m waiting for an encounter to go haywire but we make it out so I can have him light it up and say “I love it when a plan comes together.”

Beware black fly season 🙀

That sounds so cool! Go forth and smite.

6/12 and all of those were guesses.

Well, I save $800+ a month not paying for gas, tolls, and lunch, so its not really a big deal to me. I already had my own equipment anyways. I work and game on the same PC.

My front porch. Wifi is free but you’ll have to Venmo me $5 to use the bathroom or my printer.

Libbie has the worst Internet of any of the libraries by far. I just started going to Twin Hickory

Yeah that's a good one

We were told it’s going to be an insane one-shot and to make level 15 characters.

So of course I went with something I’ve never played with: Leonin Paladin of Glory (yes the “worst” oath, but it just fit the character I was making too well)

You no like Chee Burger Chee Burger?

I just think it's weird that the cheapest flights out of Richmond are to Boston.

Also for the longest time, there was no place to charge your phone near the baggage claim. I remember needing to get picked up and having my cell phone be totally dead.. so I had to sit on the floor over by the rental car areas so that I could charge my phone. It wasn't a charge zone for airport patrons.. it was like a place to plug in a vacuum cleaner or a floor polisher. it was very awkward.
