@Lucidity Engine you don't receive PMs?

What kind of sound setup do you use when you play games?

I was dicking around with site account settings and probably have it off, my apologies.

Not a setup at all, actually lol. I don't even have an Xbox headset.. let alone a decent one. As far as how I experience the game sound it's just simply through my old decrepit TV.

I just kinda get down casually. Not a lot of stuff I play needs the full immersive stuff. I'm old. XD

Nearly through the Demon Days storyline (at least so far? No idea if it ends with the last release or not.. I'll find out soon though!).

Definitely didn't think I'd ever get back into comics. It's been a really cool experience though.

Ah I see. I was trying to send you a message to ask you a question, but somehow the option to send a private message doesn't pop up.

Man what the heck is going on with the colds or bronchitis or whatever lately? (Not covid) They're brutal.

I've been sick for almost a month and two of those weeks were almost as bad as Covid. I thought I was almost out of the woods even with an annoying nagging cough and now severe vertigo has started settling in. Over a week of antibiotics and it's not down for the count. Non stop meds to the point I can smell and taste it on my breath constantly.

Bleh.

@Lucidity Engine basically I was spring cleaning and found some extra Flames swag and a gaming headset and wondered if you'd like to have it. It's literally duplicate stuff that's still really good that I'd like to gift to someone who would appreciate it vs donating it to who knows who that won't appreciate it.

If you're interested, send me a message.

Oh that's the RSV, she's a nasty bitch. It's like a cold that goes away, but it doesn't really, then comes back twice as bad.

Our bodies need to rebuild our immune systems after the Pandemic. With masks, copious amounts of sanitizer... Etc, our body hasn't been getting exposed to the germs we need to maintain our immune systems the way they were before.

I appreciate that you thought of me being able to utilise it, thank you Fig. I'm good on that front though. There's probably someone out there who will use it way more than I would. It was a really nice thing seeing your gesture today when I came online. Hope you feel better, bud.

Agreed, new strains. What helped me was to get ill more frequently and my body built a better immune system. This is going back 3 yrs and I am thanking my lil son for picking the germs from nursery biweekly, sharing the goods for a lovely period of time. But it works now- maybe just me, so read with a pinch of salt.

Any of y'all interested in an Astro A30 headset/mixer and Flames WC champ flags?

I might be MIA here soon. My pops has been moved to a palliative care facility and is declining rapidly.... we don't think he'll make it more than a couple weeks.

Mentally I feel I am declining too, it really feels like this was the worst timing for doctors to change my meds and ween me off my SSRIs (antidepressants)

Sorry to hear. Wish you the best in this difficult time.

I know we’ve had our differences over the years. But that sucks. Stay strong dude

Was told this morning Pops has hours... So we're sitting here waiting for the worst to happen

Well he's gone. He was my best friend. Thanks everyone for your kind words

Sorry for your loss, man. I'm glad you were able to be there for his final moments and that he was surrounded by loved ones.

Thanks Figgy, you're the best. Now finish getting better so no one has to worry about you.

Thanks man, we may not see eye to eye often, but you've always come across as a decent person which trumps your terrible opinions

Sorry for your loss, man. I'm glad you were able to be there for his final moments and that he was surrounded by loved ones.

Thanks D. Our immediate family (me, my brother, our mom, sister-in-law and nephews spent nearly 12 hours with him yesterday.

My uncle Jim visited for a while, which was big because his wife is super high risk, so he barely goes anywhere because he doesn't want to get her sick.

My Uncle Alvin, Auntie Shirley and cousin Juanita drove back home from Red Deer on shitty highways to see him.

His other 3 siblings couldn't make it, as none are local, his youngest being way up north, his older sister being unable to drive in the dark, and his youngest brother was with his family for his 70th bday. But they all sent messages through Alvin and Shirley.

My nephews though... I'm so proud of those little f***ers. Whenever any one of us got overwhelmed they want around hugging us, especially my mom.

That Kennedy Super Bowl ad made me laugh my ass off, but f*** me the jingle is still stuck in my head. Damn you Kennedy!
