@Waynes_Books @KevinLamb74 I know you have probably seen this but my binder and a bunch of the appendices sit on the shelf. Instead I bought the soft cover ones that were affordable, printed and bound the others, and then took every looseleaf appendix and made them into their own bound versions.

@exQUIZitely Easy answer, Pirates!

@Nobleshield My wife and I both got in and got our 3 names saved. Even when I was in it kept timing out on my 2nd character. Eventually it started working and I was able to do the 3rd fine. Once she got in it worked perfectly for her. Give it time, LOTS of people trying to get in.

I received an order for FDG River tiles yesterday afternoon. I haven't done these in a while so I had to pull out some of my own for color references. These came out pretty nice.

I average 3-4 orders per week and my turn around time is generally 1-2 days.

I lost 35 lbs since January by changing my diet, mostly portion sizes. I am upping it for the winter and switching to high volume, low calorie foods with good macros. This is how I lost all my weight 11 years ago.

Macros below.

@Kornstalx Oh and there is nothing wrong with the 1080/1080Ti. Best card ever made and the only reason I upgraded was my motherboard died. Finally decided to build a 9800x3d + 9070XT and love it. Shortly after I found the identical MB + CPU combo on Ebay for $75 and fixed the old system.

[Mike Saxton @RetroGamer_Meph]

I laugh every time some Nvidia fanboy tries to justify spending thousands more for under 10% performance gains over Radeon 9070XTs. It's worse when you look at 5070Ti pricing since they are almost identical in performance, less in some cases than the 9070XT but double the price.

[Mike Saxton @RetroGamer_Meph]

@Kornstalx I'll have to look into LSFG. I still have my old i7-8700k running an EVGA 1080 that I bought new back in the day. I also have a spare 1070Ti here that I could throw in it. It's just a spare PC at this point but why not =)

It had been a while since I picked up some new music so I swung by Soundgarden in Syracuse. 6 CDs, all in great condition for less than one Vinyl.

[Mike Saxton @RetroGamer_Meph]

I will head off the replies here. Adrenaline isn't perfect but its nothing like Nvidia fans paint it. Running two 9070Xts and a 9060XT here with no issues. DDR, fresh install, enjoy.

[Mike Saxton @RetroGamer_Meph]

@Cliffracer56k I hear ya. I have an Amiga 500 I picked up for free. No power supply, no video cables. Never been recapped so I’ll have to do that. I figure I’ll get to it next year but it will be fun to tinker with again.

[Mike Saxton @RetroGamer_Meph]

@Cliffracer56k Now all that said, if you ever really want to mess with one for the awesome games, the A1200 is launching soon. Full working keyboard and you can side load every game you want through the USB. I might have to pick one up.

@Cliffracer56k Yeah I had a group of a few friends that had them. There was a local Amiga dealer here in Syracuse also, but I agree, they were not common here in the states. Go to the UK and they were everywhere.

[Mike Saxton @RetroGamer_Meph]

@Cliffracer56k I started with an Amiga 500 from Babbages when they released and upgraded to an Amiga 4000 later. I ended up trading it straight up with an Amiga dealer for my 486DX4-100. It was amazing but that A4000 today sells for somewhere in the $3000 to $4000 range. That's crazy to me.

[Mike Saxton @RetroGamer_Meph]

@OfAthenry I drive by that farm almost daily. Yes, cop used to like to sit on the other side of the barn to trap people.

[Mike Saxton @RetroGamer_Meph]

@ForeverWoWclips I've done Warlock and Warrior as alternating mains on live, classic and SOD. I am sure I will have both but I am thinking off chilling out this time and playing a Human Hunter to go with my wife's Human Paladin.
