    Hello all, I have 10 invites that I’ve had for years. I don’t believe I will ever use them. If anyone is interested in using these send me a DM and we can figure it out.

    I feel you. I lurk on YouTube but have not actually logged in for years at this point. I just read and move on.

    Good on you Deimos. Tildes is the only “social media” I use. And if it ever changed from what it is that would be a mistake in my opinion.

    Did anyone watch all seasons of this show? I fell off in season 4 I think. Last I remember they were fighting the eye patch guy. It just got boring in my opinion.

    Let’s hope they don’t pull a Blade and never get this off the ground after a grand announcement.

    Doom Dark Ages DLC - Revelations

    This is one of the best dlc packages I have ever seen. Some great work by ID Software. You can tell they really put some thought into this one and put things out that they wanted to put in the base game but probably did not have time to. If you liked DOOM Eternal then you will most definitely enjoy Revelations. They bring back the movement tech that made Eternal stand out and added more on top of that. It’s fast paced and blood pumping action. Also the soundtrack by Finishing Move Inc. is top quality. You can tell they took a lot of inspiration from Mick Gordon’s work and built on that. First person shooters is my favorite game genre and this is the most fun I’ve had playing one in a while. Second to this would be The Finals but I’ll have to make a separate post about that game.

    I did use strava for a while but was not willing to pay for the extra features. I didn’t need them either to be honest. So far Rwgps is the best free option I’ve seen. It tracks well and syncs with my health app. The discovery option is great as well.

    I’ve been cycling regularly since 2018. It’s something I did a lot as a kid and wanted to get that joy back in my life. I do it for commuting and exercise. I have a folding Dahon bike - Single speed. I also have a Trek composite 3000 - single speed. I do like to go pretty hard and I track my times with an app called Ride With GPS.

    My daily commute comes out to about 9 miles a day, 4.5 miles one way. The fastest I have made it to work so far is 17 minutes. I always ride safe though , I am not trying to do anything dangerous. The biggest ride I’ve ever done out here is called the STP (Seattle to Portland). It’s 210 miles total and took me 2 days. I did the whole thing on my single speed Trek, hills and all. It was great but incredibly difficult. I do some small rides every now and then like the Portland Bridge Pedal or some events during Pedalpalooza. I also do a trail out here called the Spring water corridor trail. It’s 25 miles one way so about 50 miles total. I can finish that in roughly 3 hours with breaks.

    I can’t say I watch any pro cycling events but I probably should. Those guys and gals are nuts.

    Looks like Wemby might be on a generational run but the Knicks looking to do the same. Should be a good finals.

    George Lucas also had the same idea with the original trilogy. He knew kids would want the toys.

    I love that game. I’m on my second play through. I got a good ending the first time I think. Not sure how many endings there are. Such a cozy game that makes you think.

    Saros plays very similar to Returnal. You enter a room, clear the room, move on. The movement is also similar. The difference in Saros is the skill tree building in between rounds which does make it a bit easier. The core gameplay is just Returnal with some refinements.

    What is interesting is that there are some weapons that will auto aim so you can focus on movement AND there are weapons that require manual aim but you are rewarded for hitting enemies in their “weak spot” while manual aiming. You can play the whole game with one weapon type if you want, even though the drops are rng based they provide a lot of options to get what you want. The controls are highly customizable also so if you need to remap things it’s very convenient. Right now there is no M and K support and given PlayStations recent departure from PC gaming it seems unlikely in the future but fingers crossed always.
