I've never been a fan of christian music, but Jars of Clay broke into the mainstream and I became a fan. I remember going to a concert thinking it would be a normal concert... then there were people in the aisles doing the "celestial benchpress" as my friend called it, raising hands to the sky and such.
Good Morning, Folks! Last night we had Thursday Funday and quested as a group in Orr, but before and after that, I focused on World Completion on my Guardian in #GuildWars2. Thankfully, it is still a super chill process that I find deeply enjoyable.

My hot take of the day is that the worst thing WOTC ever did was create the reserved list. I think they should burn that shit down and reprint everything on it.
I say this having tons of reserved list cards... but it's a game, not a stock market
Morning Folks. This morning I talked about some more #GuildWars2 nonsense. I also talk about #PathOfExile2 and the upcoming Phrecia event in #pathofexile.
Good Morning, Folks! It's another #MixtapeMondays, and this time I have a very melancholy mix of 90s alt-rock that I am referring to as Jangly Bits. The blend is very near and dear to my heart because all of this means so much to me.

Good Morning, Folks! It is time for me to drop another #Mixtape on you from my #MixtapeMondays nonsense. This one is very much going to be an acquired taste, because it is essentially a nostalgic trip through the music that I used to skateboard to. This is what skater rock looked like prior to the existence of THPS.

Morning, Folks. The whiplash of returning to #PathOfExile phrecia event after playing a ton of #PathOfExile2 has made me realize a bunch of the things that I hate about mapping in #POE2.

Good Morning, Folks! At this point, I have beaten the #Diablo4 campaign for Lord of Hatred and talk a bit about that from a non-spoiler standpoint. I also talk about the current state of the endgame and how, in some ways, it feels like a step backwards.

@Tipa@gamepad.club @stargrace@gamepad.club yeah I mostly look at the beta as a way to ease me into the systems prepping for the real launch
I just had a brief panic attack as I could not remember if I fed the ferals.... so I checked the cameras, and did in fact see my dumbass lumbering out there to feed them
I have an employee named Jeffrey... and this song lives in my head while I am talking to him... especially the Jeffrey with One F portion.
Space (I Believe In)
I am guessing Mandalorian and Grogu has not opened internationally yet... because no copies seem to be floating around
Good Morning, Folks! I had a friend ask me about getting a trial carry in #PathOfExile2, which made me realize it might be nice to have a guide that demystifies the process. So that is what you get this morning.

@stargrace@gamepad.club so long as it actually releases at some point I will be fine. I need a new fable game.

@Doubleaa@gamepad.club you've been visited by the cat distribution network. A heckin cutie though.
It annoys me that the president took a thing that already exists aka a civics bee and gave it a lame name and treated like it was a new thing
Friends... It's Eurovision season. Looking forward to watching the first of the semis tomorrow.

@MmeLibertine@laserdisc.party lord I hate that... the feelling like you cannot engage in anything because a thing looms on the horizon >.>
Good Morning, Folks! This holiday morning, I continue my #MixtapeMondays series, this time focused on #Eurovision and the songs that live rent-free in my head. Many of these I thought should have won their respective years, but did not get the love they deserved.

Good Morning, Folks! Yesterday was the bit #PathOfExile2 reveal stream for the Return of the Ancients league, and holy crap was it massive. There is no way I can talk about everything, but this morning I discussed some of the high points for me personally.

Good Morning, Folks. Last night during sibling time, I ripped the band-aid off and went through the annoying process of respeccing my Paladin from Thorns to Arbiter/Blessed Hammer, and it has made a massive difference.

@kevinbrill@gamepad.club my thought is maybe someday someone will come along and read about my journey in prep for their own

@Gazimoff@gamepad.club holy hell. I did not even know that scarlet fever was still a thing. I am hoping he recovers quickly from it.

@stargrace if you can at some point get to Cactuar, even temporarily, at a minimum, I can get you in our linkshell
Replying to
@stargrace@gamepad.club I do, I can log in shortly and throw you an invite :)
sorry for the lag, was diabbling
Replying to
@MmeLibertine@laserdisc.party one thing that I have done to trick my brain sometimes, is set an alarm that gives me more than enough get ready time... and then I can sort of accept that technology will save me and move on with things
Morning Folks. Monday, the #Diablo4 expansion dropped, and for the first bit, I dealt with pretty frequent disconnects. I talk about this and how I abandoned #Warlock early on and returned to #Paladin.

@stargrace@gamepad.club yeah, I think both have to be on the same server even to make it work, but for future reference, hit O and then Player Search and choose to search either on the first or last name, and it should bring them up if both players are on the same server, even if just temporarily through server visiting.
I guess I may have sold my RV today? I had no intent of selling it, but also no real intent of ever using it again. It's from a very specific phase in life that we never really revisited after my wife's sister passed. Now that my wife has also passed... I have zero interest in it.
It has been parked on a pad we built at my mother-in-law's, and I was fine to let it rot, but I am guessing she wants rid of it, given that she has passed on multiple suitors for it lately.
Morning Folks. This morning I got curious, and it seems like #Diablo4 hit a new all-time peak on SteamDB four days ago. Combined with the activity I am seeing in-game, it seems like the game is in a very healthy state right now. I talk about this.

@SitaDulip@gamepad.club i am not yet, but bought the precons to try it out with a friend. It seemed like a good starting point
I did not buy a Steam Controller today... not because I did not want one, but by the time I even realized it was on sale, it had sold out. Actually, it was in the process of selling out as I was trying to check out, because it errored out while I was trying to pay.
Morning Folks. It has been a bit since I have done what I am mentally referring to as "State of the Bel" post, where I talk about how the journey with cancer and chemo is going, and how I am doing.
So that is what you are going to get this morning.

@digitalsnow@social.lol I am sure I will return to Warlock once I wrap the main story, probably delete my current one and restart it as not requiring the story to be completed.
The hellfire skills look good, just that the minions dont feel like minions heh
