The Elmdor-Appreciation-Out - Number of practitioners: one.

I haven't been in one in probably a year or two now. I miss video game mags.

I went into one like 6 months ago cause I knew they had a game I wanted on sale (Rhapsody Marl Kingdom Chronicles). Found its empty box in their tiny Switch section and carried it up to the counter. The cashier looks at it in confusion as they have no idea what the game is. Pops open a drawer behind the counter and looks for the cart, doesn't find it. Checks another drawer, nope. Another drawer, nope. Looks through the PS4/5 drawers, nope. Clicks at the computer while sounding out the spelling of the title on the box. Walks off to the back stock room, nope. Checks the first drawer again, nope. He waves over at a coworker and shows him the box. The coworker looks at the box in confusion and says something like "I don't think this is a game we stock". They both click at the computer. They both look through that first drawer again. It's been like 10 minutes, he looks at me and says something like "we seem to be sold out, would you like me to call another location to see if they have stock?". I say sure so he calls up another location, reads them some product number from the computer he's been staring at. The other location says they have a copy after a moment, so I drive away to the new location. Walk up to the counter at the next location, and they just have it sitting next to the till waiting for me to show up. I have no idea if the first store just had no idea what the game was.

I've had experiences like that at Gamestop. Every once in awhile they had a hard to find game or a obsure game like a JRPG. They maybe had 1 copy left (was probably the only copy they had).

With the way things are now, I've resorted to preordering if I really want the game, since physical is on the decline. I preorder for physical of course.

There's a guy in England that spent time in jail for having a knife-sized Master Sword replica as a fashion accessory, the cops in the US would shoot first and ask questions later thinking that's a ghost gun. Criminals are a problem and so are the police, only difference is gang affiliation. Lately the cops have a recruitment crisis, mass resignations from all the ethical cops and nobody wants to join them so they're hiring illegal immigrants in desperation. What could possibly go wrong?

Just because you're lawful does not mean you are good, the problem with cops and a lot of other people is that they equate lawfulness with goodness which means they are Lawful Evil.

https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Lawful_evil

I consider myself Chaotic Neutral, crazy but not evil. The D&D alignment system pointed out that Law does not necessarily equate with Good, Gary Gygax was a social gadfly American badass that the FBI kept an eye on.

https://reason.com/2017/06/15/dd-cre...-records-make/

As evil as the demons in Hell are, they abide by Infernal law and are lawful obeying all orders from their demon lords. Not much different than many of the Earth's lawful people.

So that is what hell is. I would never have believed it. You remember: the fire and brimstone, the torture. Ah! the farce. There is no need for torture: Hell is other people.

I'm trying out Edge on Linux, since it has no Internet Exploder in the OS it's better than Chrome on Windows Download Links:
Links are hidden from guests. Please register to be able to view these links. Has built-in AI Copilot and most of the Firefox extensions so it's a useful addition to Linux.

I started a Google Sites page for Skyrim mods and builds. No content yet, it took a long time for the art.

I'm a Chaotic Neutral wizard and where I go chaos follows.

I tend to flip games, I play them until the end becomes the start of another game where I beat it in new ways. To quote my brother who died last year when he would watch me play.

I will not stop until I flip the game.

Outside, best graphics possible and no monthly fee. Best of all, outside's blood is real and so are your experience points.

[Grouch]

I don't know what was going on here. the post date shows 2002 and I couldn't even send a pm there were a few other weird things going on too.

Don't worry, chaos has been restored.

downloaded some video editing software yesterday going to check it out today to see how well it works if it works well I'll be going back to my YT channel tomorrow.
just checked it out and was able to figure out what I wanted to do with it pretty quickly.
for those wondering I'm using shotcut.

I request a forum database backup.

Neat~

South of the tower where you fight the first dragon in Skyrim is the best Creation Club campsite, it's a major spawn point for NPCs to encounter and for opponents to loot for equipment and enchanted items, fast traveling from Riverwood and back makes them respawn. The best spot to set up the camp is right on top of a silver ore deposit that's there, facing East toward where the spawn point is. Also, silver lets you craft rings and amulets to enchant at a forge after you smelt the ores. Other sources of silver you can fast travel to and you have to go to Markarth which is not a good place to camp because of not much game to hunt in survival mode to eat and that area in Whiterun has deer and mudcrabs to hunt near the camp plus a silver ore deposit and endless NPCs to loot. There is no better camping site in all of Skyrim. If you become infected by vampires that spawn there at night eat the vampire dust they drop to cure disease and spares to brew invisibility potions, the mudcrab chitin also cures disease and to the North of the camp mudcraps spawn nearby. Go to Whiterun to sell all the unused loot at Warmaiden's and Belethor's to buy food and to get better gear, spells and soul gems from Farengar. Lastly, do not kill the Old Orc NPC that spawns, he wants to die a good death but if you leave him alone and don't speak to him he will always respawn again with two dead sabrecats you can loot for their pelts.

Terminator 1 is the only US sci-fi film with a perfect score rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and everything after part 2 was diarrhea.

I remember when i finally got to watch T3 years after it's release I was as disappointed with it as I was with duke nukem forever.
