I much prefer small channels for that reason too. Most streams I watch tend to be people I know or at least have mutual friends in common. Whether it’s old dota friends or people I know in high end WoW raiding.

I think it has been a while since I posted. I've been crazy busy with work and some other stuff.

I got told I was promoted and that I needed to work over vacation in the same conversation. Only reason I didn't refuse is because my boss has never asked me to do that before and sounded desperate (every other person who had the knowledge to do it was on vacation already and he had been tasked with getting a demo running for purchasing decisions ASAP). So I had to do a crash course on npm, node.js, angular, and json in about five days while driving 12 hours for one of them. (I'd spent the week before reading up on all of it or it would've been impossible).

Our main vendor gave us a demo product to use that requiring compiling within their platform to demo. It got a little recursive.

My wife is also pregnant, which is definitely more notable news. 14 or 15 weeks atm. Had to go the ER earlier in pregnancy but it was a false alarm (she was having extremely bad abdominal pain, but no cramping. She's had a cystic terratoma in her ovary causing torsion before and she said it was a similar level of pain. It was apparently round ligament pain from her muscles growing according to Dr. the terratoma/torsion scarring may have made it worse is my personal guess).

Oh, and random question - what should one do with an older but not super old phone with a cracked screen? I have a pixel 2 xl with a couple cracks. I could replace the screen but that would cost more than a used pixel 2 xl with a perfect screen.

Congrats soon-to-be Nevdad, and hope your wife goes through the next few month with less pain.

Lmao I try to be the one viewer for all your channels because it saddens me to imagine the wonderful people here streaming with 0 viewers, speaking into nothingness. The least I can do is give you an audience so it's not completely wasted.

Poulsen how is PoE? I was on vacation for 10 days right after league release and it already looks dead. Reddit crybabies are right about the nerfs?

Reddit are a bunch of crybabies, I'm playing ssfsc and having a ton of fun (warchief totems champion), sure the game is slower and players lost some damage but if you roll a good build you can still go pretty fast and destroy content. The new league mechanic is fun too, it can be tedious when you have a lot of npc shards to spend at once but all in all I've been enjoying it, logbooks drop a lot of cool stuff. And if you feel like you are too slow and too squishy just roll a raider with crystal skin and you're good ;]
