I'm glad someone else said it! Sure there are flaws, but being stranded in the Delta quadrant just made everything more interesting.

I'm finishing up my first full watch through of DS9 right now and I'm already craving something more explore-y like Voyager.

If this is even a fraction of the quality of How to Train Your Dragon then I'll be fully satisfied!

I've been looking around for demos that would actually be more fun to play on the deck than playing on my PC. Right now I'm eyeing up one called Combat Complex that is a twin-stick shooter ARPG with shooting mechanics that look really juicy! I'm hoping to get it installed tomorrow and give it a shot ๐Ÿคฉ

My husband and I are in the exact same boat. Not looking forward to it sinking. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Was anybody else young enough to get endless entertainment out of those demo disks that held a dozen demos on them?

Oh, this looks pretty promising!

Any idea of how much they've shared a roadmap? I'd love to see if they have goals to integrate other video platforms like PeerTube to make it more than just an alternative YouTube front-end.

This happened to me 2 years ago, so I know it's really really tough. We put our old boy Stanley down on Christmas Eve and it was devastating. He was a long haired tuxedo that looked almost exactly like your sweet Belle.

I hope you take comfort in knowing that her last moments will be right by your side, where she likely feels the most at peace. And I also hope that you take care of yourself, take the time to grieve, and lean on your loved ones when you can.

If you're not memeing, I think that is Josh Hutcherson

Oh my goodness, the exact same thing happened with me and Guild Wars 2!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

I was a teenager at the time and my family burned logs to keep the house warm in winter. My Dad upgraded the smoke detectors so that they were all linked. In other words, if one alarm went off in the basement (where the wood burner was) then every detector in the house would go off.

This sounds great in theory, but in reality it turns out that the detectors would go off on a near weekly basis. Whenever someone tossed logs in the burner and smoke escaped. We got desensitized to the beeping and it became second nature to just cancel the alarm when it happened.

Fast forward to the closed beta for Guild Wars 2 and I was up late, trying to play every possible minute that I could before the weekend was over. My door was closed, headphones on, and I was REALLY immersed.

The smoke detector started beeping. And it kept beeping over and over and over. Normally, at this point my parents would've cancelled it. That kind of struck me as odd, so I opened my door.

Ruh roah, raggy.

A wall of smoke was on the other side of the door. And the smell was NOTHING like the usual wood burner smell. It really hurt to breathe and my eyes were not having a good time either.

After shaking my Dad awake, we called the fire department, got all the animals out, and nobody got hurt. The damage was serious, but the entire house didn't go up. The upstairs needed rebuilt and there was a fair bit of smoke damage.

I don't want to think about what would've happened if I wasn't up playing that closed beta ๐Ÿ˜…

Oh that's definitely a hard question. My answer might vary a lot depending on whether I'm in a spooky atmospheric mood, an adventurous mood, or a deep thoughtful mood. Right now, I think my answer is going to be Arrival (2016). It touches on the fun topic of intelligent life landing on earth and trying to communicate with us.

I played through Cyberpunk a single time shortly after it released. I figured I'd play it again when Phantom Liberty released. But, I had no idea I'd actually be this excited about diving back into it! Maybe the marketing is working on me ๐Ÿ˜‚

If you're someone who enjoys buying software once and owning it, Wonderdraft and Dungeondraft have been really wonderful to use in my experience!
