TheAuldGrump Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 So, City of Heroes: Homecoming is in negotiations with NCSoft - at this point it is looking like as long as they don't charge money, NCSoft will let them be. And Mercedes Lackey is back to playing the game. Homecoming has also improved the graphics - and Megan's new card allows 'Ultra HD'. (My crappy old laptop does not - and the difference is quite noticeable.) The Auld Grump 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Today in the world of writing: Had a story rejected in under three hours, the form letter contained the phrase "we gave your story serious consideration," and about fifteen minutes before I received it the mag's editor was on Twitter bragging about already having read hundreds of submissions today. 2 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Dog Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 This is how I'm starting my summer (with regrets?). I'm kind of scared to try it (though only 30% alcohol content), but also afraid of missing out. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Oh law lol. That's either the makings for a great night or a monstrously bad one right there. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I guess they scan the first few paragraphs and toss whatever doesn't catch their interest? If you have hundreds of stories to read, you have to do something like that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawhat Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Had a nice visit with Ma and Pa Strawhat today. We were originally going to keep far, far away as we're all high risk if we get a bad case, but that plan didn't last. Ma and Pa are mostly not engaging in unnecessary activity, and the same is true with us, so we decided to chance it. Probably won't see them for a couple weeks after this, though. It's good that we did, though, even in violation of social distancing rules. They're getting on each others' cases without other people to interact with. Ma is trying to get me to take Pa out somewhere and do something, anything other than their normal routine. It also turns out that Ma has been glossing over some health issues. So at least that's in the open, now, which is unpleasant but necessary. 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBluberry Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 @Cranky Dog, you will tell us how it tastes, right? I mean, I can't buy any unless they open the border, but I could ask my sister to set aside a bottle... Waiting here very anxiously to get word of what June will be like here. Can I even have a graduation BBQ with a few of daughter's friends? Inquiring minds are keen to know! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparrowMarie Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Painted for about 3 hours actively today. Probably going upstairs for another couple after dinner settles. Want to finish all the lining on the body before bed. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingo Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 So I finished a mini. First one in a year.

Sorry I didn't catch this earlier, but I think you should be able to watch it on twitch still. https://www.balticon.org/wp54/virtual-film-festival/ Played too much Civ6, still got in a bit of painting. The 5 dark elves from Bones 4 are just about done. A little bit of detail work to go. I really need to put together a decent photo backdrop/stage... Sadly it's time to walk the dogs and get to bed. Gotta work tomorrow. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Eyed Monster Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 UPS is the pits. Just checked on a package that was originally scheduled for delivery on Saturday. Rescheduled to Tuesday. Now rescheduled to Wednesday. The package is currently in Victorville, [According to the shipping tracker it arrived in Victorville mid-day Saturday] I am assuming it is at the Victorville Depot. Which we drive past every time we go to Taco Bell. It's my Reaper Order. GEM 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
