Bioware made the previous Baldur’s Gate games so that makes sense lol

I’m the VP so I’d better be able to get away with it lol

I’d love to have one too but I live in the city now instead of the suburbs. My car is parked on a concrete pad in the alley behind my house, a good 80 feet from any electricity. I could probably charge at work though by just parking in the warehouse and plugging in to one of the many extension cords we have around.

I’d love to install solar panels, I have a flat rubber roof with no tree coverage that’s perfect for it. A $35,000 upfront cost is an absolute nonstarter for me. I have it, but that’s basically my entire emergency fund. If someone would pay me to have them installed, hell yeah, let’s do it.

It’s Stanford University.

6/8 ain’t bad

Same here. I’ve had mine for a few weeks and I love it. The battery life is amazing too, I charge it once a week.

Hmm well it was 430 miles but yes I did drive safely.

I don’t have one within 500 miles of me so…done, I guess?

Hmm I don’t really have a main. I voted Playstation because that’s where MLB/NHL are, but besides that I game on PC and Playstation pretty equally.

Which book? I’ve never heard of him before today but after reading a few articles I’d like to check out one of his books. Googling sends me quite a few results.

It’s not that they’re outright difficult, it’s all about watching enemy attack patterns and memorizing them. I can do a no-death run of the first Dark Souls game now and I don’t even like difficult games, I play every game on easy the first time, but the FromSoft development style pulled me in hard.

The 7 hour drive I had last week included one stop for gas, but that’s it. We usually refer to the amount of time the gps says it will take.

So tonight is my third night at this hotel. It’s amazing, seriously. High quality, amazing rainfall marble shower, a great hotel bar with bartenders who actually know how to make a proper Old Fashioned, everything. This worked out very well and I’m going to immediately book them for next year’s trip when I get home. Also the TV comes up out of the footboard of the bed and that alone deserves some points.

I waited until this morning because I needed to find a replacement first. Pretty much every hotel within an hours drive of the track is booked solid most years. I would have canceled regardless most likely, and just gone back to doing a campsite at the track but I was hoping to find something better which I definitely did.

My friends couldn’t even figure out Reddit. Most are on discord and that’s pretty much it.

I have Firefox set to automatically do all that whenever I close my browser but it’s still somewhat of an issue on kbin. Not enough to bother me but it happens.

Funny that this thread hit my feed last night. I don’t have a special story to tell, but every summer my buddy and I go to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin to Road America to watch some racing. We used to camp but we’re in our mid thirties now so I’m a bit over sleeping outside in the summer. We’ve stayed in some cheap hotels before because that’s really all my buddy can afford. No big deal, don’t wanna break the bank for him so I’m down staying in a subpar hotel.

Cue me reading this thread last night and remembering I booked at the Super 8 Motel in Sheboygan. I go back to my booking and look at the reviews. Reports of bed bugs, holes in the walls, broken AC, ground level windows without locks, all that. Also reports of sketchy people hanging out in the parking lot all hours of the night, drinking and yelling. I find a slightly better place nearby but not that much better. Then I decided to expand my search radius to include Fond Du Loc. I find a place that looks fancy as fuck with an average review score of 9.4/10 on Hotels.com called the Hotel Retlaw. It’s $20 more each per night (4 night stay).

At this point I have 3 hours left to cancel my Super 8 Motel reservation before I can’t get a refund. I call my buddy, send him a link to the Hotel Retlaw, and said dude, I will cover the difference for you ($80 extra each if you are down for me to switch it up). He agrees immediately, I cancel the reservations at the shit box motel and book these. I’m out an extra $160 total but that’s SO worth it for a nice place to stay, especially when we’re outside sweating all day. The whole weekend ticket is only $160 so it’s not an expensive vacation.

I leave tomorrow morning so I’ll report back about it if I remember, but if you read all this, look up those two places and tell me how different they look for an insignificant price increase. I have a feeling if I didn’t read this thread and go search again, I’d be posting here after this weekend about getting bed bugs or some shit.

I decided to go with Plex because I can use it from my roku TVs and my game consoles. I let a few friends and family members log in as well to stream and they’re primarily doing it from game consoles. Most of those people don’t even have a desktop PC. Granted, I don’t know what features in that ballpark that Jellyfin may have now, I set this up a long time ago and just haven’t really given it much thought since then.
