  On the Gardiner?? I call bullshit. Gotta be photoshopped or something.

  Last year I had it happen to me, turns out it was displaced cartilage in my chest. No idea how it happened. Immediately after finding that out, I got a back injury at work (unrelated) and had to go to physio for it, which also coincidentally helped my chest pain too.

  Yeah that name sounds familiar. If it’s what I’m thinking it is, that was a favourite of mine for a bunch of game modes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 504 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely. I also loved infection on that one map that’s in the same world as the forge map, it’s like a floating level over water. Can’t remember the name now, it’s been years. Then there’s also a good one that’s all indoors, sort of a fancy human building, maybe corporate or hotel originally, I can’t remember now.

  Then Alexandria was awesome, there was a super cheesy spot you could get to there. Oh and then there was an outdoors map with sort of a circular building in the middle of the map, that was great for infection too. Oh and then another indoor one, all grey walls, small outdoor area where you could fall to your death.

  Now that I think of it, I think I just loved that game altogether. Damn now I’m nostalgic.

  Infection on Zealot has to be one of the best times in Reach PvP. Your Reach posts have made me very nostalgic, but this one might take the cake. Good job.

  You’ve completely nailed my feelings on it. Online semi-requirement is super annoying, but it’s also one of my absolute favourite games ever made. It’s my second-most played game ever, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel the spirit???⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I showed this to my wife. She found it vaguely amusing. I definitely found it funnier than her.

  We usually put up Christmas decorations and listen to Christmas music starting November 12 where I live.

  Chuck’s Roadhouse is pretty good for beer prices. IIRC, it’s:

  12oz - $3 18oz - $5

  That could be slightly off but you get the idea. They’ve got a 30ish oz pitcher too that’s probably only $15 or something. I can’t remember now but it was very cheap. I don’t go to Chucks a ton, the food is decent (not great but decent) and well priced, I just don’t usually eat out, but my wife loves restaurants so Chucks has become our go-to now because of pricing. Life is expensive, all that jazz. Point is, I can get a small beer for $3 which is completely unheard of elsewhere. Yeah it’s only 12oz but it’s still a good deal, and I can get drunk at home if I really want. I don’t like getting beer drunk anyway, I always feel miserable that way.

  I found out apparently Crabby Joes has cheap cocktails too. $8 for a 2oz old fashioned is pretty cheap around here. Still cheaper to make at home, but I’m glad some places still exist with a drink menu for the budget-conscious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huge if true⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the 18oz “pint” really bugs me, but unfortunately it’s everywhere. It’s an exception if it’s 20oz, not the norm. Last night actually I was at a restaurant that was trying to pass off 17oz as a pint. If it wasn’t so expensive I wouldn’t mind it, but at least where I live, 18oz goes north of $9 most places, it’s crazy. There’s only one restaurant nearby that sells beer at a decent price, so that’s basically the only place I go these days if I want a drink other than at home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How could you do this to me?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m running a 3060 with CachyOS and no issues. Mint however gave me some problems. Fixable problems, but problems still. CachyOS worked straight out of the box.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huge if true⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In Canada at least, most restaurants serve beer in 18oz glasses unless otherwise stated, so I’m gonna assume that’s what they do in the States too, which I’m guessing is where this meme is from. So 18*14=252oz, which is 7.45L. So basically what you said.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Friday is coming⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Om nom nom.

  (Also I’m pretty sure there’s a dish in front of left guy’s hand, looks like maybe a salad or something but it’s hard to tell. I can see the confusion though.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stupid recipe ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad you’re enjoying the posts! I’ve got a few more saved, they’ll be posted shortly. After that I’ll be on the hunt, and hopefully others can add posts too.

  Shoutout to my community !ididnthaveeggs@sh.itjust.works which is more of this! I’d recommend someone check it out :)

  CE probably has my favourite campaign (both solo and co-op), but for PvP it’s definitely Reach for me. It’s also the one I’ve got the most time in by far.

  I didn’t get much into Halo 3 for some reason, I’m not sure why. Aside from the campaign, I mostly just stuck with Halo 2 until Reach came out. I was also getting into CoD a bit between playing 2 and Reach so that also sucked some time out of 3. Then after Reach I got super into Battlefield 4 and that was my main PvP without friends but with friends I still mostly played Reach until my friends moved on from it. Now I almost exclusively play single player games, with the exception of one friend who I’ll sometimes play NHL with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 491 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have so much nostalgia for Halo Reach. I was just talking to someone else on here about Reach last night actually. I wish I had friends who still played Halo. There’s not much better than Reach with the boys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  0°F is the warmest allowed temperature for freezing food in the service industry. We measure with Celsius here so I only recently found out that -18°C = -0.4°F which is just about 0°F. I was looking at some cases of food we store in the freezer and noticed it said “store at -18°C (0°F) or colder”. I doubt that’s the actual reason for 0°F being what it is, but it is a practical use case for that temperature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesse wtf are you talking about⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  knowyourmeme.com/…/jesse-what-the-fuck-are-you-ta…

  It’s a reference to this meme, which came from Breaking Bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A place for conservatives⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At least in Canada, most people I know think Liberal = anything left, Conservative = anything right. Maybe Americans are the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm both people⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m the exact opposite. Anything above 20°C and I’m in shorts and tank top sweating bullets. I work in a very hot kitchen and it’s brutal for me, I’m always finding any excuse to run into the walk-in freezers and coolers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, now on GOG⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Starfield got a lot of hate, some of it well deserved, but I still enjoyed my time with it. I put maybe 60 hours into it, which to me is a long time for a game, so maybe my expectations are low, but I’ve got a family now so I don’t have the time I used to for video games. I’ll probably replay Starfield in the next couple years. It’s not a perfect RPG by a long shot but if you’re okay with a mostly linear game, and don’t mind loading screens, I’d say it’s worth it. It sort of reminded me of Fallout 4 a bit, in that the gameplay is well polished, but for an RPG it’s quite linear, only a couple good side quests (factions mainly) and most of the effort was put into a few aspects while lots of the world feels a little empty. Starfield takes it a bit further than Fallout 4, and I’d say Fallout 4 is a better game than Starfield, but you get the idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨May or may not be based on some comments I've read⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Right now if you’re in the UK (or your IP says you’re in the UK) imgur won’t load due to a recent law going into effect. I’m not British so I don’t 100% know all the details but that’s all that’s important for this joke. Anyway, this shows a colour blind test but it says “fuck the imgur blind”. I’m thinking this image is being hosted on imgur so only people who aren’t British (and therefore aren’t “imgur blind”) can see it, therefore fuck the imgur blind because they can’t see it.

  At least that’s how I took it. I may be wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon checks up on a childhood friend⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m married with a newborn, to the envy of my friends, who are all either single or in casual relationships. At the same time, I’ve got a shit job with shit pay and no education beyond high school, while all my friends are either working good jobs in their field or working on their masters degree. I’d love more than anything to have a steady job with good pay, even if it was a boring job, but with no education I don’t think that can happen. I’m very jealous of my friends and wish I could have what they have, meanwhile they look at me and say the same.

  All that is to say, no one has it perfect, even if you think they’ve got everything you want, I can guarantee they wish they had something different, possibly something you’ve got. Don’t be so hard on yourself, comparing yourself to others.

  I’ve got three days of Thanksgiving dinners. It’s a lot here.

  Saturday with the in-laws, Sunday for my family, Monday at our place with friends. It’s nice but it’s so much food. Then leftover turkey for a week.
