adaliabooks: Hey everyone.
Largely absent today as I installed Tales of Maj'Eyal and between that and Halfway have spent most of the day gaming (and ignoring all the other things I should have done, yay!)
ToME is great. It's not quite ADOM (but I don't think anything ever will be for me, I love that game) but it's a great Roguelike. I must be mad, I tried to play it with the tiled graphics but couldn't get into it until I swapped to proper traditional ASCII. If my player is not represented by an @ then it's not a Roguelike!
It's got some flaws, like the fact the text covers a part of the actual map... but I can see myself having a lot if fun with it.
Halfway seems a little like a one trick pony, but it's fun anyway.
Good evening. =)
Playing games rather than hoarding them...we're all going to get our collector's licenses revoked at this rate.
Good to hear that Tales of Maj'Eyal is enjoyable. I tried to put it on and my brain said, "You need to clear your plate first. This one is going to be BIG."
Halfway feels like a small-budget indie team's take on an Alien/Aliens-type scenario, only with turn-based tactical combat rather than a first-person shooter type of thing.
CarrionCrow: It'll be okay. No need to worry there. If the times that I'm around are different for a while, it'll be due to that.
Not surprised a bit that you'll keep on working, just be careful to not aggravate it.
Got off the phone a bit ago with a relative who messed up his shoulder because he felt the need to assist me in lifting extremely large and heavy tires.
He knew he was injured, but he did it anyway and didn't listen when I told him that I'd cover it so he didn't get hurt.
She's a braver person than I am. Social situations like that? Uh uh, no way. But she got through it and did really well.
ddickinson: Don't worry, I am not about to over do it and cause any more damage to my arm. It is strapped up and will be fine. Things always get stiff and painful as the swelling and stuff comes out.
I am sorry to hear your relative has hurt his shoulder, I hope it's nothing permanent?
I have never had a problem with social situations, but I know many do. She was more nervous about getting it wrong, as she does not practice must anymore. She has been playing it since she was a child, and used to play in an orchestra when she was in college, but has not really done much for a few months. Once she started she was great, and as far as I could tell, no errors at all.
Just be careful. Don't want you to get more injured. (Nagging over now, promise. =) )
With him, it's a persistent thing. He has to use it for work, but when he has downtime he still wants to go out and do things, even when he should be resting and healing up.
My constant reminders that they have a large, fairly strong relative at their disposal so they don't have to hurt themselves are only heeded about half the time.
Yes, it's not much fun. Makes things like crowds less than pleasant, let alone performing in front of them.
Sounds like she worried for no reason, ultimately. Her ability was more than sufficient.
