He takes the time to casually turn away, just so he can 'not look at an explosion'.

Pretty fuckin cool.

[SciFlyBoy]

Tried sketching to get back into art.
Saw a giant turd on the screen about half an hour in, felt a hand cramp and rage-quitted.

urgh....
Hate. HATE!

I'm constantly making turds.

Constantly.

You giving it another shot tomorrow?

[NCLanceman]

You know what's fun? Need for Speed: Heat. The only problem is that it takes way too damn long for off-road races to unlock after you get offroad racing parts.

Look, you gave me a '69 Dodge Charger and the ability to paint it like the General Lee and outrun the cops while making big jumps. You can't just hold out on other reasons for me to go screaming down dirt roads, video game.

Seriously, my sketches look like ASS, even after all these years. Maybe work on things small sessions at a time first to not get frustrated or tired, but don't throw the towel.

Gonna try, but right now I am depressed about being the fucking poster child for the Brits have shit teeth stereotype because a filling just came loose and now I've got to get that fixed....AGAIN.

I try not to, but my brain can't help looking back to when I used to be better and then guilts me for not being that.

Once covid is over I am looking into Therapy, something aint right.

[SciFlyBoy]

Just draw. If one out of fifty pieces ISN'T a turd then you did a good job.

I'm talking to people in my industry who have thousands of pieces of turds they wrote and the only reason they get work is because they have thousands of turds behind them.

And a good way to get back into creating is to get back to basics. Do the fundamentals. In composition it's called counterpoint.

So work the basics, do an 'x' amount everyday and set yourself a goal. And then share it with us.

[Alienmorph]

Once covid is over I am looking into Therapy, something aint right.

If you feel like you need it, go for it. Did a few sessions too some years ago when I was really down. Nothing to be ashamed of.

[Mazder]

Oh, no, not ashamed. Not in needing it.
Might be ashamed of not being able to afford it, even with the NHS.

For now I'mma play some Star Wars Battlefront 2, it's oddly fun still.

[TheodoricFriede]

Well I take very good care of my teeth, and apparently that was not enough.

An old filling has caused a crack to appear in a tooth that, while not so bad it requires a root canal, is going to require a crown.

I do not have dental insurance. That'll be about 1000 dollars on top of the 210 I spent on a cleaning, and the 360 I spent on a more in depth x-ray. For that kind of money you can boy a pair of cowboy boots made out of fucking elephant.

So you know life's going fucking great.

[SciFlyBoy]

I have Delta Dental and I pay about $30 a month or so.

[SciFlyBoy]

Hey Guys! I saw Seymour outside of the grocery store today. Just a mangy little mutt waiting patiently and intently for their owner.



Brought a tear to my eye.

[TheodoricFriede]

I have Delta Dental and I pay about $30 a month or so.

Last time I had dental insurance was Obama care stuff. No one took it.

And besides that i dont know if I can get it in time to get this done anyway. I just want it to be over with. I asked if i have days, weeks, or months, and was told "Probably months... but its a very bad idea to push it. Lets say two weeks, because i highly recommend you do this as soon as possible."

Given how this started, an old filling, now I just have the constant anxiety of wondering how many other time bombs I have in my mouth right now? is every place I have ever felt pain and they didn't find a cavity another crack? Will every single one of those need a crown?

Like, fuck, this isnt even my fault.

I asked my dentist what they took and Delta was one of them.

Can family lend you some money?

[Vol]

Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood,
Muscle and blood and skin and bone,
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

That was a nice trip. Quality time with the old man, paying work, good food, and lots of vodka. Second full interior of a beach house I've done for a Jewish family in the last 2 months, oddly enough.

You lads doing well?

[TheodoricFriede]

Can family lend you some money?

Yes, but that wont be necessary.

When my father passed away I got stocks. And despite a wretched year for the stock market, I was never hit as badly as others, and my Gamestop gambit continues to pay off.

I'm fine. I'm just angry. And paranoid.

[Mazder]

Theo I know your pain right now, except I am on the other end of the blame spectrum.
I didn't take good care of my teeth during my teens and I am paying for that price.


I have had countless root canals and getting my first drown this year.

Sounds like you have a good dentist who has your best care in mind and I am sure that if you bring it up with him her can double check before you need to do work on any other teeth.

Hey, at least you're not a walking stereotype of Bri'ish Dental, lol!

[Someone With Mass]

My dad's waiting to get tested for corona, because his girlfriend tested positive for it.

[Mazder]

My dad's waiting to get tested for corona, because his girlfriend tested positive for it.

I hope he's negative. But if he is positive I hope he has a minor case!

[Alienmorph]

Oh, fancy that. My brother's locked in his room with a bad fever and couching his lungs out. There's a chance it's not Covid since he doesn't have some of the most telling symptoms, but we won't know for sure until he gets visited and tested, and have to stay locked up just in case until then.

[TTTX]

well hopefully he is clean.

[magnuskn]

Ooof. Best of luck for your health to all of you.

hopefully it's not covid.

[Alienmorph]

hopefully it's not covid.

He seems to be doing slightly better than yesterday, and he has an history with seasonal flu hitting him like a pile a bricks in the face, so it might not be. But until we don't know for sure, we have to be careful.

[Vol]

I heard Europe's breaking out again, and we're having some spikes as well. Thankfully the means of treatment have vastly improved, but still. Seems as if until the vaccine is rolled out writ large, this is going to be a low smolder that flares up. Either got to stamp it out utterly at first, or deal with this shit.

Hope all you guys and yours make it through fine.

[magnuskn]

Yeah, Winter is coming and hence illness is spreading, as usual. We got big discussions going on in the political sphere on how to deal with it, since nobody here wants a second shutdown. But it's probably coming quite soon, since the infections are increasing exponentially.

should be fine since me and my family don't go out much to begin with and well we live in really small town out of the way, so our odds are better then most.

Still going to wear masks, since the spike is getting really bad.

[Sinekein]

Yep it's getting real worrying again.

Just like all sane scientists predicted roughly six months ago.

Except this time it's worse for hospitals. Not because there are more cases, but because the first spike led to many non-urgent medical procedures being postponed for a few months to allocate more doctors and nurses on Covid patients.

Right now it is impossible to do the same again because you can only delay a medical procedure so much. Which means that there might not be more patients, but it is harder to treat them nonetheless.

My brother's girlfriend who is a nurse mentioned that they only just started hiring new nurses a week ago. So once again, they could have done something, but decided against it. They tried to save money, and are going to end up spending way more in the end because instead of planning in quiet times, they have to do so during a crisis.

[Vol]

I heard about cancer patients having their treatments surgeries postponed because of corona fears.

To which "absolute death" seems far worse than "theoretical death," on the face.

Oddly enough, I just did a fairly large interior job for a woman who is in fact a trained nurse, but was looking for work. I would've thought, especially in a state like mine, all available nurses of even middling competency would be snapped up.

[SciFlyBoy]

That's one of the things, more deaths not related to COVID because people are refusing to go to the doctors for potential symptoms for other diseases because of covid. Hope you all stay healthy.

[Deano]

Cyberpunk gets delayed to Dec 10th. I actually can't believe they've delayed it again.

I really hope I can move the days off I booked for this...

This was yesterday:

[TheodoricFriede]

I officially have concerns about the game now.

To delay your game when it has gone gold is never a good sign.

[magnuskn]

Yeah, sucks for me, since my vacation time can't be delayed a third time, mostly because my colleague has her own vacation time then, and it includes her birthday. Ah, well. I was really pissed for a few hours, now I got over it. I got another few days free between Christmas and New Year, so I can spend my time then. I guess I'll relax a lot in the three weeks I already reserved and lower that pile of shame a bit.

I swear P4:Golden is more fickle than a young woman at a house party. Yesterday, constant crashes, today, stable as a 90 year old guru.

Got Naoto, finally. The swap between androgynous voice and girl voice when she's flustered is precious and must be protected. Nearly got the stats maxed out, still haven't found a few SL, but hey. Need to get Rise maxed, one more for Kanji, than Naoto as hard as possible. Got Adachi to 6, Dojima's done, Nanako has a few pips, then it's school ones, I suppose. Can't remember if Marie's matters for the extra content or not. Probably.

The Dojima family storyline really could stand to be better entwined. Nanako's is gated behind Expression 5, so I finished out Dojima a while ago, so the domestic situation still existing in her SL makes no sense.

I'd forgotten that Sayako (Devil) basically gives you two handjobs at the start of her story.

The old lady and Saki's brother are in a weird position. I forgot to start the latter until just now, and I don't give a shit about him given the moment. Murderer's out there, red herring is caught, got the full team together, shit's about to get crazy, autistic drama class girl has to deal with a dying parent she doesn't want to reconcile with, etc., and empathizing with the brother of a character only Yosuke cared about is odd. The Death lady, as I recall from 8 years ago, is important to the otherwise trivialized theme of death going on all around the story, but locking her behind the skill check to take the hospital job _and_ Devil makes her always late and thus less connected to the themes of the story. She's one of those "wrap up" SLs, for me at least.

And the fuck is the stat requirement for the beef bowl challenge?

[SciFlyBoy]

Well, I guess the dodger's won the world series, because why else would a bunch of southern californians be shooting off fireworks in the middle of fire season with these winds.

[TheodoricFriede]

I swear P4:Golden ?

Marie is necessary for the golden content, yes.

And yeah... Sayako... yeah. It's literally just that.

Old lady is, as far as im concerned, the only good, non party member social link.

The beef bowl challenge basically requires everything maxed out except expression.
