Hey gang. Not sure who is still around from the old days but talked to Lee a couple months ago and he mentioned this site was still around and I had been meaning to come check up on it for some time now but just had so much going on I never got around to it till now. This is Steve, use to be active here many years ago. Can't even remember how long it's been, maybe 6...8 years ...longer perhaps? It was back in the days with Tommy, Lee, Jason, Dave and some of the other old timers. Not sure if any of them are still around or not. Gonna take me a bit to check out this whole new looking site (new to me at least :) ) but just wanted to say hello before I started looking around again here. Steve

Not sure how to post pics here yet again, but hopefully this works and the pics show. This is the theater room I mentioned that I built about 2 yrs ago in my attic. Makes for a great place for not just movies but also gaming. Right now it has normal 5.1 surround sound, but sometime down the line I'd like to upgrade that to something newer for movies and games. Yeah that didn't work. Let me try this again lol

So I just loaded up Fall Guys. The issue originally was that you could only have 4 in a party to go into a public game. They have now added the ability to create custom lobbies with up to 60 players. This has good potential for drunken casual FG Friday fun Fall Guys Custom Lobbies: Release Date, Platforms, And Everything We Know WWW.GFINITYESPORTS.COM Friendly Battles

You know how it is when you get old, time starts to blend together lol. Seems like it's been longer than that but then again sometimes I forget what day it is...so there's that 😁 Rod business is going great. Last year was probably my best year for sales in the entire 19 yrs I've been in business so I can't complain one bit about that. I put some money aside over the past few months so I could take a nice long extended fishing trip alone this spring so just starting to get ready for that now, I leave Thursday for that and plan to stay on the trip at least 2 weeks or more. Had a real rough couple month patch there this spring. Had some ear issues and went to the ENT and they did microsuction to clean my ears which had a VERY bad reaction for me. It gave me the worst case of tinnitus you could ever imagine. The first 5 weeks were so bad I honestly didn't know how I was going to go on living with that constant sound in my head. Had a few days of some VERY dark thoughts because it was just driving me insane. Thankfully it finally started to slowly ease off. I'd say now I'm about 90% better. I lost my Sister two years ago sadly. That was extremely hard on me because we were very close. She was only 51 yrs old. Other than that doing well. Been eating right and exercising a lot and lost another 55lbs this year (started at 400lbs 9 yrs ago and down to 210lbs now). Still love fly fishing and doing my bonsai trees. Still into RC hobby as well. Recently finished building a all custom tube frame 1/5 scale Monster truck that weighs 50lbs and does about 35mph. That thing is a blast. Still do some gaming, mostly COD, UFC, Red Dead, and a few others. Haven't been able to play much recently but I plan to do more when I get back from my fishing trip at the end of next month. About 2 years ago I turned my attic into a home theater/gaming room so I have a great place to do it now. I'll have to dig up some pics of the theater room I built, I think you'll enjoy seeing it. Did it in a whole Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones, Medieval type them so has a real cool look to it.

I think last night we had two problem , DPS and staying alive, esp for a 4 phase. Actually not sure about divinity, think I do most of my damage with the two supers you can get off, and I think speed to the damage point is probably the key. Ideally I’d say the home team should be in centre as times vengeance starts, this means calling the oracles and moving. Not sure if one needs to stay on the plate, but I think once the plate is built it’s built. Also send one of the away team back as the third oracles are called. If all these 4 get doubles supers off (or at least 3 of them as ideally one would be well) that’s a ton of damage . I think this speed to damage is the key, we only get 28 seconds so losing 10 is a disaster. Also means we would get a second well which makes supplicant control at end of damage so much easier

Now contest mode is over its all about Oracles as the main issue. The fact you have to now shoot them in the order of when they appear, and when you're at Atheon you have to rely on good callouts in the Atheon room, this basically makes or breaks the boss fight. The absolute key is remain as calm as we can and most of not fill the comms with huge chatter as its the one main section you just need to be focused on the job at hand - something that we at FG are pretty pants at, lets face it! 🤣🤣 Only other thing to consider is DPS on the boss. Ultimately, I think we all worry about getting it done quickly e.g. in 1 or 2 phases but its really something we shouldn't worry about. I 4 phased it the other night and there was no pressure as we all stayed calm and kept calling out oracles to finally take Atheon down. A Divinity seems to help overall if 1 or 2 people have that on, with complimentary things such as high DPS snipers - one I use is the Kinetic sniper 'Succession' (from Deep Stone Crypt). My last loadout was: Kinetic - Sniper - Succession Energy - Scout - Eternal Blazon Heavy - Machine Gun - Xenophage You should also maximise damage by using supers. As a Titan, finally use Thundercrash a little more is some fun, although have to get back to the middle damage zone before Atheon slams you into the next Vex life. A Warlock well is pretty much essential I think, otherwise you need people to bring bubbles and a couple of the squad to shoot supplicants that like to annoy you. What else is working for other people?

Oh yeah lol Had a feeling I was off the mark old man brain😂

Nope that wasn't me. I have always SUCKED with the sniper rifle 😁

Hey cool to see some names I remember. I do still have two tanks but I have downsized about 6 months ago. I had a giant 240g tank full of cichlids which was really nicely done. But when I had that big tank as well as the various other 75g-125g ones it got to where I was spending anywhere from 6-10hrs per week just cleaning them and doing maintenance on them. So I downsized and now only have two tanks. A 75g and a 120g. I keep mostly Bichirs now which are a really cool prehistoric type fish. Thanks tronic, it sure was very hard when we lost her because it was not something expected. She had went to the ER thinking it was something not too bad, ended up being two things called thymoma and aplastic anema (not sure spelling is right) and long story short she quit breathing the 2nd night at the hospital. Ended up on a ventilator and ICU for 5 weeks, had a surgery and they said it went great, then 1 day later got a sepsis infection and we lost her about 2 days after that. I was a mess for about a year after that but finally able to get back to myself this past year.
