Being met with the reality of my 10yo PC finally crapping out but now with adult bills is depressing the shit out of me. What do you mean I have to save hundreds of dollars bc my computer doesn’t have a stupid little chip? Why is my graphics card struggling to run games I’ve played this whole time?

We’re deeply saddened by the passing of Jim Ward, the unforgettable voice of Tybalt Leftpaw and other characters in Guild Wars 2. His warmth and talent brought Tybalt to life and into our hearts. We’re grateful for his work and his legacy in Tyria. Thank you, Jim.

Latest “odd” thing on Ollie’s safe food list… raw scallions. How was it discovered you might ask?
They found him eating them at recess.

The abandoned Personality System in #GuildWars2 haunts me daily. What do you think your toons’ personalities would be, and how would it have changed over time, if it was still visible/available? #GW2

Visiting family and our old stomping ground with the kiddo. Having a blast at his first hotel experience. However, I have gotta say I knew New York cold was different but knowing and feeling are two different things. Even Ollie said “coal” (while laughing as the icy wind blew in his face lmao).

I feel the need to point out Ollie’s playroom is only Care Bears bc catering to his stuffie special interest is the next best thing to catering to his Daniel Tiger special interest which has like no merch.
