This is the Kickstarter for The Wayward Realms, being made by 3 of the original team behind The Elder Scrolls 1 and 2, Arena and Daggerfall! I'm excited for this one! :)

@TeamYouTube It's been 24 hours, the video is still processing. I reuploaded it and the processing is finished on the reupload, so I'll just post that. Thank you for your help! :)

[Checkers Prefect @tpwfg]

@TeamYouTube Hi there, TeamYouTube, I have a video that's already viewable (by me as a private video on YouTube in 4k), but it also says "processing will begin shortly." I appear to be able to post it, can I do that safely?

[Checkers Prefect @tpwfg]

@TeamYouTube Thank you for letting me know! :)

[Checkers Prefect @tpwfg]

@TeamYouTube Thank you. I do understand that. I uploaded it 14 hours ago, I can view it on YouTube in 4k, yet it says it's still processing. If it was, I wouldn't be able to view it in 4k. The other downside is I can't, actually, post it as public, because it still thinks it's processing.

@Lenzolth @Arkuns0 @whatdarrensays @Cromwelp @Davidson033xx And as someone who has been disabled since the mid-2000s, I'm also someone who appreciated the fact that more and more, Steam allowed me to actually purchase games when I couldn't even leave the house.

So, yes, Steam did earn their customer base, in more ways than one.

[Checkers Prefect @tpwfg]

@Lenzolth @Arkuns0 @whatdarrensays @Cromwelp @Davidson033xx I say Steam, but really it was Valve. And if my old memory serves me correctly, as I've been a PC gamer since the 80s, Valve's original iteration of Steam was basically used to update things like Half-Life and Counter-Strike, back before CS was BIG.

Still trying to get back into the swing of things... Hopefully, I'll get to swing by IAE soon! :)

@hunt_harriet Congratulations! :)

It's November 11th... we might not be able to fly into a Starfield, but we can still find stars afield... :)

@Bhaal_Spawn You got it working! Pretty sure you racked up several Virtues in the process... Sacrifice, Honesty, Humility, Justice, Valor... at least those!

Congratulations, Avatar! :)

[Checkers Prefect @tpwfg]

@Bhaal_Spawn @EbornIan 1st, thx for inspiring me to play for the 1st time in 20ish years. I miss Origin & Ultima. Amazing that we can still visit the past in such a way.

Second, I noticed an nVidia Inspector dialogue box pop up with GOG install, almost missed it. Any chance it's blocked on your end?

[Checkers Prefect @tpwfg]

@Alienware Been playing since the 70's.

I've been *promoted* because of gaming and my familiarity with computers (and playing with the NumPad to move).

Gaming is unquestionably good for you! But if you need more proof...

@GallaraDragon @ultimadragons @alain_patrick @bastichb64k @RichardGarriott @UltimaCodex I *think* I might still have mine from back in the day... Love that shirt! :)

[Checkers Prefect @tpwfg]

@PurpleNekoNeko I'm well over 50 and still playing. Never let anyone tell you that what *you* love isn't good enough, isn't "right." Do what you love, enjoy what makes you happy, and own it, be proud of it! Know that your happiness is always more than enough! :)

[Checkers Prefect @tpwfg]

@JRennM Thanks, Jennifer, you too! :)

[Checkers Prefect @tpwfg]

I literally didn't know there was a difference between "k" and "ok" in text-meaning until this moment, and I feel a bit ill about it.

[Checkers Prefect @tpwfg]

@JRennM Hi there, Jennifer! Thanks! I hope all is well with you, too!

My channel computer gave its last byte a while back, and I lost a few things... more than I'd prefer, but I'm still here and breathing!

Have a great weekend! :)
