Reasonably well, yes. Although I'm not sure how I feel about going from completely stressed out this morning to twiddling my thumbs this afternoon. I sometimes wish my workload could even out a little.

I can see how that would be a bit annoying. But at least you get the end the day on a less stressful note. But a more evened out work day would be nice.

How are you liking today's new release?

Hello there! I'm sorry you're cold, but I'm also envious. It's already started feeling like late spring/early summer here, and I'm missing the cold something awful. It felt like it just got here. That's part of living in Florida though, I suppose. Considering I hate the heat and adore the cold, I can't say I know why I moved to Florida. I wouldn't have met my lady if I hadn't, so I don't regret it, but I can't say I'm a fan of the weather. Or the bugs. :)


**and a big hug and hello to the rest of you all as well! Sarge is taking a little nap, and I'm back to "doing projects." Currently, my goal is to remove as much clutter from my computer room as possible so that I can have some of those fabled "surfaces" to put things on. We're also planning on getting some bookshelves for the living room that are record-friendly as well, and I am trying to get my record collection more organized and to wrangle all the stacks of books around the house into one place... fun! :) I'm actually really enjoying it, and having fun taking breaks to play with Senator Puppy Pants when he's awake enough to do so. He's having the kind of sleepy day I did for, like, the past several days straight. Today the mania seems to be a little strong. Can't say I'm complaining about that. It will feel good to get some stuff done. :)

Hello!

I am getting all warmed up now that the doors are shut. My own fault for falling asleep with them open. I tend to prefer the colder months over the hotter months. I really like Spring as all the wildlife seems to come to life, and I really enjoy Summer, but I do not like it when it is too hot. Luckily that is not really a problem in England. :-)

Well then, meeting your lovely lady is all the reason you need to be in Florida. I am sure even the heat is worth coping with in exchange for having here there with you. :-)

How are you today? Sorry if you have already answered, I am not too good today so I have not really been reading what I have missed.

Absolutely enough reason to live in Florida. :) And no worries at all, I'm quite consistently awful at catching up on what I've missed. I partially answered your question above, but only as an edit after the fact. :)
I'm doing quite well! It's about time for me to schedule another round of botox injections in my whatever-valve in my stomach, but oddly enough I've just come out of a pretty rough sick fit that I honestly figured would last until I got that done again. Sometimes this weird illness business just likes to take a vacation, and I'm quite happy with that.

I've been doing really well upstairs this morning as well, in great spirits and really excited about making some changes in life that had had me quite down for some time (I guess I've moved from the "wow, things aren't where they should be" stage to the "oh crap, that means something can be done about it!" stage, which feels quite nice.)

I'm sorry to hear you're not doing too well today. I hope you are able to get some good rest and relief soon!

I'm not sure what to think. It reminds me a little of This War of Mine which is not my cup of tea. On the other hand I generally like post-apocalyptic settings. I'll probably have to have a closer look to decide.

I am glad to hear you are doing well, and that your health problems are being at least a little nice to you at the moment. And it is great to hear things are progressing in other areas as well, taking charge of things and making changes is great to hear. Often challenging, but always worth the hard work. Good luck with it all, the changes and the health issues.

No need to worry, I have my bad days, a little too often recently, but nothing to worry about. My sleep has been pretty messed up, I am definitely not getting enough, mostly a few naps here and there, which is not good, as it takes its toll on my health, but there is a lot going on at the moment and that tends to prevent me relaxing and getting some decent sleep. But nothing to worry about.

I remember seeing a video of the game a little while ago. It is not really my kind of game, but I seem to recall it was very highly praised. But I could be mistaken, it was some time ago.

I'm feeling significantly better right now. Still haven't been able to contact my doc, but still trying.
Hopefully everything is going okay for you. **bigger hug**

Good afternoon/evening, everyone.

Hope you're all doing at least okay, or that you'll be feeling better soon if not.

*wave*

-waves back- Hey there. =) How are you doing?

Normal ;-)
How about you?

-laughs- About the same. You know how it is. ;)

There's stuff to do around the house, a bunch of game books I want to read more of so I can learn everything, and a 20 year old game I still need to beat, that's about it.

Hi, ladies, gentlemen and ladies :-)

How's your Thursday going?

Good time of day GOGolytes!

Man it's been a weird past few months (and past full year or so) with some low lows and not so high highs. I was long term unemployed (about a year and a half), had brushes with homelessness last year and this year, had at some points literally two or three bucks to my name and didn't have any clue where my next few dollars would come from and just ungodly amounts of stress...but here I am.

I've now got a steady job that pays a decent bit better than minimum wage and is already giving me ALMOST full time hours (and could bump me up to full time very soon) with coworkers that treat me with plenty of respect and are easy to get along with, a steady and safe place to live, college up coming up (again) later this year. Tomorrow I get my first paycheck, I get paid for one whole day thanks to the day they started me haha, but it's very welcome.

It's been a long year, year and a half...but things are looking up! I sincerely hope life is treating you all well...or at the very least you're on the rebound if life isn't going the way you want it too right now.

Now onto other news!

Shadowrun: Dragonfall keeps getting better and better, I think I'm in the last 1/4th of it, or at least the last 3rd of it and I'm already drooling at the thought of Shadowrun: Hong Kong. Great series, I HIGHLY recommend it!

I picked up Blood and Gold: Caribbean! Yesterday and spent a few minutes in it. I'm...well I don't know...I wouldn't say underwhelmed, but I can't say that I loved or even that I enjoyed the few minutes I spent in it. The business side of Warband (of which Caribbean! is a glorified standalone mod of) has been stripped out and I'm not really sure how enterprises work in the game now, the tutorial text whizzed by before I had a chance to read half of it. Graphically it looks great when you're running around but the overworld map isn't much to write home about (graphics wise). As far as I can tell, the arena of Warband has been stripped out too but I REALLY hope I just managed to miss it or landed in a city without one.

According to the devs on Steam, Caribbean! will be getting free DLC (mostly Player vs Player stuff) but I'm not sure if that will get here.
