Yeah, everything was expensive. Luckily, my per diem covered basically everything. The bulk of my trip was pretty boring. I put in a decent amount of overtime, and most evenings after work I would basically find something to eat and then go back to the hotel. I had one day off, and got in some touristy stuff, including the Hoover Dam and the Omega Mart. I hit the strip a couple of times and Fremont Street once, but mostly just kinda walked around. One night, the fire alarm started going off in my hotel at 2:15am. Turned out there was an electrical fire in the elevator. That was fun. Ended up getting relocated to a slightly worse hotel that actually would’ve been a better setup for a long stay, but I only had a couple nights to go at that point.

General Gaming What games have you purchased lately?
TheLeon replied to Chris-'s topic in The Spawn Point
I impulsively bought Pokémon Brilliant Diamond when I saw Amazon had it for $40. Haven’t played a mainline Pokémon game in over a decade, and I skipped this generation the first time around, so it feels “”fresh””. -
Television Three Body Problem
TheLeon replied to CitizenVectron's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
Just finished the season. Having nothing to compare it to, I fully loved it. I feel like this really could be a big crossover hit. There’s some deeply nerdy shit at the core of this, but it starts off simply enough that I think plenty of people could connect with the story/characters and would still be on board by the time things get real wacky. And a really fun cast! Shoutout to Benedict Wong in particular, I absolutely loved the vibe he brought to this. -
Television Three Body Problem

I’ve watched the first two episodes, and I dig it. Downloaded the rest of the season on my iPad for my flights back home tomorrow. -
Usually with a puzzle game, if I get stuck, I’ll put it down for a day or two and try to come back with a fresh perspective. That didn’t help much with Baba is You. I kept coming back to the same 3-4 puzzles I was stuck on every day during my lunch break, and I never made any progress. It made me feel insane after a while. I wasn’t even that far in, I think this was the third zone.

That’s me. Closest I’ve ever got to getting sucked into an MMO was Guild Wars 2, but that only lasted maybe a month. I’ve tried a lot over the years, but nothing sticks. Now that I think about it, I had an active WoW account for a few months, back around when Diablo 3 came out, I think there was some deal like if you paid for a 6 month sub you got D3 for free. And then I barely played either lol.

Yeah, if the preview shows it’s a blowout, I just skip it. If it’s a closer fight, I’ll watch to see what’s happening so that I can plan accordingly.

General Gaming Balatro is fantastic, update: 1 million copies sold
TheLeon replied to Biggie's topic in The Spawn Point
I completely suck at this game. I’ve played probably 20 runs and I think the furthest I’ve gotten is ante 7, once. This is gonna be my new Slay the Spire - a game I played for years, but never really cracked. Every time I finish a run, it feels like a total fluke. -
Who do you thinks dislikes me the most on D1P?
TheLeon replied to Biggie's topic in Biggie's Bodacious Ballyhoo
I hate @Biggie so much, I wouldn’t even buy him Unicorn Overlord. -
Movies Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - Official Trailer #2
TheLeon replied to Firewithin's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
I get that, but also, it’s a miracle nobody died while making the first one, so I’m ok if they cut a few corners this time around. -
I put in my $20 last night. I had been walking for hours and thought I would take a break at a slot machine for a while. It… didn’t last long.

This is fun. Had delay complications on my flight out here so I had like a 13 hour travel day on Sunday, and they fucked up my hotel reservation so I had to pay for my first night. Then I get to work, and nobody knows what is happening. I showed up yesterday and couldn’t log into anything, they didn’t have a temporary badge for me so I can’t even get around the building on my own. Eventually they sent me “home” early because they didn’t have any work for me. Then I come in today, and it’s similar. Half of the day so far I’m just doing busywork that will probably hurt things overall, but I had to stop that because they had to spin up operations again to do more stupid shit. Now I’m waiting for that to be done so I can continue on with my bullshit little tasks that will be extremely inefficient, but nobody listens to me when I bring this up. But hey, I got to wander around the strip yesterday afternoon and look at all of the insane ways to waste money, so that was fun.

Movies Scream VI - March 10, 2023
TheLeon replied to SoberChef's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
I liked it, but I’m an easy mark for this franchise. Should’ve watched Nope instead. -
I should’ve bought a bigger suitcase. It’s been a long time since I’ve flown for a trip longer than 4-5 days. I just have a carry on and a backpack. I’ll be doing laundry at least once on this trip.

Looking this up. The only way I could ever justify spending that much on a single meal is a ridiculously large/fancy buffet, so good call. I’ll be playing some UO on this trip, it’s fine.

General Gaming Anyone else think Bioshock Infinite stank like Oedius farts?
TheLeon replied to unogueen's topic in The Spawn Point
Weird and long, just how I like it.
