What frustrates with #ElderScrollsOnline #WrithingWall event is not only the low spawning rate for the antagonists one must vanquish for the drops, but the drop rate that one must collect for the quest itself.

Is #ZOS going to extend the event deadline for Phase One cause we need another week.

There's a part of me that finds it hilarious a segment of Packer fans are dreading the team facing QB Joe Flacco again.

I don't know if I will laugh or cry if the now-Bengals QB is on a team that beats the Packers (again).

The memes will be priceless.

Packer victory would be exhilirating though 😁

Hoping the Packers don't stun the Packers against the Cowboys tonight!

I finally backed the Monster Kingdoms crowdfunder at the lowest level because while I am excited over Onyx Path's Earthbane Cycle of fantasy RPGs, they haven't completed the 2nd in line, At the Gates. Heck, I don't know if they've released the books for World Below.

So no deluxe for me.

Impressed with Packers CB Keisean Nixon. He's been playing very well tonight on the first Thursday Night Football on Prime during the 2025 season against the Commanders.

Hopefully, I didn't just jinx him 😅

Now if special teams could play better...

#Packers #Commanders #NFL

I am pleased to see the Foundry VTT support stretch goal unlocked.

Backed #ShadowsOverSol 2E last night.

If the digital bundle pledges grant access to any potential Foundry VTT unlocked stretch goals, then it's a fairly cheap pledge for granting VTT access.

I also have zero familiarity wth Shadows Over Sol so this is my first real exposure.

Never in a million years did I think the #Packers would trade for Micah Parsons.

Going to miss Kenny Clark; but why extend him with a third contract if one bad year would make him trade bait?

Really hoping Micah is the generational talent to take the team to the next level.

Can't really say how impressed I am that Bo Melton made the Packers 53 after transition from WR to CB. Hope he does well.

Also happy Iola, Wisconsin native ILB Kristian Welch was signed to the practice squad today. Hope he gets to play for the Packers this season.

#Packers

I was wondering why the #Packers 2025 season initial 53 contained such a small number of ILBs if they use a 4,3 base.

Well, the answer is the team will be using a lot of 3,4 defensive formations too.

I credit Hafley for tinkering with his personnel since the front 4 simply weren't getting it done.

In a perfect world the #Packers would retain both ILBs Kristian Welch and Isiaiah Simmons on the initial 53. The former is a Central Wisconsin native and can play ILB and special teams. Simmons, once if he learns to play ILB, would be game changer in that role.

Kind of want both 😁

It was a thought that entered my head when I read who the publisher was. Yeah, one day is much too soon to familiarize oneself with a rulebook 😅

I give Renegade credit for not publishing one game system in an era where that's norm.

At least now know the others are by the same publisher 😁

Does Welcome to Night Vale share the same system as GI Joe or Vampire 5th edition?

Been awhile since I used an Armory Station in Elder Scrolls Online that had a slot with an empty Build. Forgot that I had read elsewhere that it was a free attribute and skill respec 😁

Also forgot it unequips everything 😅

So get to save my tons of respec scrolls 🙃

#ESO #ArmoryStation

I'd end it with the last word in the statement.

Simmons probably needed to focus on one position exclusively to succeed. Worst case he'll be a heckuva player on special teams.

Rather positively impressed 2024 Packers 1st Round Pick OL Jordan Morgan has proven the projections wrong by demonstrating he can play LT at the NFL level.

People were only calling him a bust cause he was a first rounder whom the coaching staff were using to address RG and then got hurt.

#Packers

#Packers really got clobbered by the #Jets in their preseason game 😬

WR Matthew Golden looked good. The other WRs not so much.

OL Jordan Morgan looked like a capable LT backup. OL Jacob Monk needs to work on fundamentals. OT Belton should be fun to watch on rushing plays.

Rifts was flashback session this evening. A young girl had gone i to a hole leading into a cavernous region and was nabbed by a crab-like monster. After navigating a treacherous descent, we defeated the creature and rescued her. I kept saying our victory was preordained 🤣

Riddick learns he needs to help people?

So basically every Riddick movie.

Not going to lie, I'd watch it.

They could also call it a 'The Holidays of Riddick'.

Ah, the Summer Haze!

It's so... smoky.

I think this year's Canadian Wildfire smoke has been more obnoxious than last couple years!

I tell myself this is the forest regenerating; but I don't recall this reaching the Midwest before.

Is this a once-a-century thing?

Now this homage is... fantastic 😉😎

Though the Canadian Wildfire smoke Air Quality Alert was for yesterday but I guess it's supposed to last until parts of Thursday. Today was worse than Tuesday cause one can see and smell the smoke.

I've also discovered supplements like NAC bump me into the highly-sensitive category.

Just unlocked the Scribing Altar Golden Pursuits reward today!

Playing some Rifts. We're travelling within some sewers when a couple PCs spot (with powers or cybernetics) a couple invisible leaches. We continue on warily when the pair of leaches attack!

There's something about the week of EAA AirVenture that influences to get excited whenever I see any aircraft or airport regardless if it's at the event or away.

#EAA #AirVenture

Today I learned that during a zombie apofalypse during which a disease infects people to turn into zombies that a 2024 D&D 5E Paladin won't wreck the horror.

Paladins are no longer immune to disease nor does lay on hands remove disease.

Doubly so when there are those on X who seek the defunding of PBS, which Elmo has a long association with.

It's also bad when the resident AI, which also had a recent bad spin, provides a much better Elmo response that kids can understand than what was given.

The fallibility of AI is assuming it is infallible.

I will be happy when I can go outside and enjoy a respite from inhaling Canadian wildfire smoke.
