Happy birthday!!

Hi. What anime is your profile picture from?

What series is your pfp from?

Ah, no need to apologize of course! Just MAL is fine.

Sounds rough about the cold! My late Grandma used to keep her bedroom really cold as well and slept under a mountain of blankets in the night. Can't say it was ever below freezing though. Things are indeed cooling down now. I missed the memo and didn't adjust my clothing, so I've already been sick with a cold twice in the last 4 weeks lol.

But I am glad the heatwave's over. It also rained about 2 weeks straight, so no more drought problems for a while.

Yeah, that's an ugly situation. I've only really been to a restaurant once this year. It actually looked fairly normal regarding staff and number of guests. But it was really expensive, so I suppose that was a place that tries to pay their staff more so that they would come back.

I can't do my actual job (other than MAL) from home, so things haven't really changed for me as it would mean either working or not working. But when it affects healthcare places, then that's really serious. Other than to a dentist, I haven't had to go see my doc this year, so I'm not sure how it is here.

I did almost die during the heatwaves we had in July and August though. I may actually have to invest in a proper AC unit. But on the other hand, with energy prices exploding and a war happening not too far away, things like that don't seem worth thinking about right now. What a fucking year it's been so far.

Hang in there. I'll drop by your profile occasionally. If you happen to be on Twitter or Discord, where it's easier to see that people are still around, do let me know. Take care!

Hi, i just wanted to know where is your profile pic from?

No worries, man. Just trying to see how some founding members from back in the day are doing. Good to see you're still around and doing OK!

I'm alright, too. World's going nuts and I'm melting almost every day in the summer heat. But so far - still alive!

Happy birthday, man. Hope you're doing OK!

Happy birthday, OG!

I just stumbled across your profile and i love your username and xenogears.

Another year gone, so here you go, whether you like it or not!!1

Happy birthday, man.

Happy birthday, OG!

Happy birthday, dude. Glad you're still around. Hope Friday goes by quickly and that you'll have a great weekend!

You're welcome.

I've been there RE: manual labor. Some people can do that long term but I have to occupy my mind, just like you. Hope you'll get to do that more interesting part of your work soon.

I fully agree with you on the Witcher DLC. When the last W3 expansion came out, it came with a HUGE UI overhaul, that makes playing the game so much more fun. There's a term for what they implemented, something along the lines of 'gamer convenience.' To push such a big change many months after the game's release shows how much they listen to their community. Real champs, those CD Projekt guys. These guys are gamers first and developers second. It helps that they aren't being pressured into things they don't want to do by publishers.

Which brings me to Deus Ex: MD. It's currently suffering from a few technological problems. Some graphics settings are a bit too taxing and many users have reported crashes and stuff. I've only experienced one crash, which I was able to bypass by temporarily lowering my graphics settings (~1 minute). There are some controversies about microtransactions (You really don't need them. At all. It's just the publisher being very greedy.). The safest way is probably waiting a couple of weeks if you can help it before playing the game.

My game's running fine, full HD on High graphics settings, a few on Ultra, MSAA x 2 @ 70 to 80 FPS. Capped it at 60, so all's well. The gameplay itself is a lot of fun. It's basically Human Revolution 2.0. I've done one mission, which took me 2 hours, and I've been exploring the first hub area for 8 hours now. Stealth all the way. Takes longer but it's also more fun.

I don't think Cyberpunk is part of a franchise yet. Is it? I did see it though, yes, and I can't wait. It'll be a long wait but I have no doubt it'll be worth it. If Witcher 3 is what they can do in a sort of medieval/fantasy setting, the thought of what they could do in a sci-fi setting almost blows my mind.
