Another morning of raking up wet leaves during a break in the storms, this time with a shoulder brace. .. I think I didn't exacerbate the problems in that shoulder.. Problem with most support gear is it doesn't STOP me from doing things, lol. I recognize I'm not 20 any more, I do everything more methodically than I used to. I just don't know when to stop cause I have too high a tolerance for pain. I'm that guy people ask "hey you know you're bleeding, right?"
"huh? where?"

Huh, thunderstorm? Didn't see that in the forecast this morning.

Not too bad, dropped to 20fps stepping off the boat, but it's still a bit busy with players and I do have the settings pretty high for this literally decade old PC lol. It's not so bad things are stuttering.. Yet.

#WoW #CoSoGaming
Well this is an excellent start. Logged in to one error (out of date handy notes legion treasures), the system settings are still on 7 and I'm still getting an avg 30fps standing in SW Harbor, looking back into the city. Jumps to 50fps when I turn around to face the sea. Next up is jumping on the boat and heading to the land of Dragons, see how this holds up.

Finally have some PC time all to myself today, so I'm going to attempt to play some #WoW. I'm guessing by now most people have gotten past the opening area so player density won't be a problem dragging my frames into the red...? Curious to see how Lutris/DXVK handle the new expansion. Last time I logged on I was averaging 30fps at 7 settings, with notable dips in crowded areas. Addons updating, and I'ma check if there's any new runners in Lutris before jumping in. #CoSoGaming

Another rainy day. I like rain. I like being in rain. Worked out in it today. I have covers over the space the equipment is in, gotta protect that, but I like being out there doing stuff in the rain. Guess I'm not grown up enough to abstain from splashing in the puddles.

Lol.

Having played 4 rounds of PGA Tour 2K23 (what, you don't play 4 round tournaments?), I can definitely state: this has that EA FIFA "changed the rosters and mildly tweaked things, NEW GAME!" feel. If you played the previous game, this isn't much different. Season pass junk, caddies (including females!) a third person in the "broadcast booth" (another female!), new music, some mild skill trees for your clubs are new. Core game the same, even the 2 guys broadcast audio lines lol. #CoSoGaming

I guess I pushed my left shoulder too hard raking wet leaves yesterday. Giving me issues during certain motions. I can feel a tendon "clunking" in there when I move, and reaching behind me to scratch my lower back is a bad idea, I have discovered. Partner ordered a shoulder support device cause it's becoming obvious I've done enough damage over the years it needs some external help/also some self PT to strengthen muscle groups for better internal support. Aye, gettin old.

Aight I'm starting to get into #Warframe more now that I'm able to solo grind stuff. It def isn't Destiny, not that I expected it to be. I'm liking the story lines in the main quests. The mission variety is cool too. Incubated a furry combat companion. Crafted an arcwing.

Having said that, I'm gonna be bouncing off it for a bit tomorrow lol. Bought PGA Tour 2K23 on sale tonight. Liked the series since the OG Golf Club. Been a sucker for golf games since Golf on the #NES. FORE! #CoSoGaming

Ah, rain. Def needed here. Not needed: the massive leaf fall it produces from the fruitless mulberries all over the trailer park. Went and raked up all I could, from the alcoholic dude that hates everybody 2 spots to the "left" of us, down to the mostly deaf dialysis guy 2 spots to the "right", who prob doesn't know my name. I don't have to like em to be neighborly, shrug. They older than me and ain't in great health. ..it isn't as easy as it was 20 years ago tho, lol. "today on This Old Back.."

In the process of shutting off the water/getting tools to work on shower/turning on the water to test it one of the other furry bastards got out. Had to go track her down under a neighbor's trailer a couple spots over. Thankfully she came to me with the promise of treats out of the box I was shaking. Now it's time to go blow leaves out and then workout time.

Eventful day so far. Partner had early shift. I got up, fed the cats, only to have one immediately wharf a hairball/her breakfast almost on the bed but I tossed her off in time. Cleaned that up. Then on her break partner says "did you see the puddle in the bathroom?" .. no... "I think the new shower taps are leaking?" Joy. Connections weren't leaking so I guessed it was coming from the inside. Pulled it off the wall and water came out. Guessed right. Sealed it up with E6000, crossed fingers lol.

Lol, the game just sent me a message from an NPC " I see you're running solo out there. You do know there's hundreds of Clans, right?"

Welp, I'm dumb. Launched #Warframe tonight to collect something I had started crafting yesterday. Went into the settings just to mess around and noticed at the top of the Options menu there was a little HUD for my profile.. and then realized there's a little group indicator.. that was set to "Public".. that I can change to "Solo", so I can play missions by myself. 🤦‍♂️ #CoSoGaming

Alien says "zzz" #Caturday

Been checking out #Warframe a little bit. Didn't expect Destiny, but yeah, iunno if it's for me. Seems a bit too focused on the team instance stuff, which I hate doing random and I don't have friends lol. So now I'm checking out THPS 1+2 cause it's in the PSN+ Extra tier so I didn't have to give Ubisoft money. It's a brilliant remaster of the originals. It's been 20 years since I seriously played any Tony Hawk, but the muscle memory is still there. 900 on the first try. #CoSoGaming

I'm glad my boomer parents haven't gone to the Idiocracy side. Makes for a sane #Thanksgiving. Hope y'all that celebrate managed to have a sane one as well. Or a decent Thursday if you don't.

Credits rolling on Pentiment. That last Act takes some real turns. I'm very impressed. This game absolutely deserves the accolades it has received. As usual with games like this, while I know I can go back and make different choices... I probably won't. I played it the way I wished and I'm fine with how it turned out.

Now I gotta figure out what's next. After #WoW, that is. Hehe.
#CoSoGaming ​

Finished Act 2 of Pentiment tonight. That was unexpected. Certainly interested to see how Act 3 turns out. #CoSoGaming
