D3 is not much better, very slow going leaving the lot. However, we can usually get over and turn north on University as we leave the lots.

It's amazing how poor of a job they do moving out game day traffic. Jack Trice has the perfect set up. You have the North lots that have multiple options for exiting and the south lots moving in a completely opposite direction. I don't understand the hard on to push all the traffic south out of the north lots.

I played a lot of Sim City back in the days. Sim Farm was a good one too although it is nothing compared to the latest Farming Simulator game they have out now. As a kid growing up in the 90's where most of us probably got introduced to PC gaming on a 486 PC I remember playing Oregon Trail, Leisure Suit Larry, and Space Quest 3 a lot. Also have some NCAA Basketball Road to the Final 4 game: NCAA Basketball: Road to the Final Four - Wikipedia you could edit the team rosters so my brother and I had some magazine with NBA stats in them and started recreating 1990's NBA teams and the program would assign ratings based off the stats and weight/height values you plugged in. Was king of like the basketball version of Tecmo Bowl

I cringe whenever I hear "on the daily" or "on the regular" come out of someone's mouth.

Also, it seems even journalists who write for a living can't seem to understand that not only are "a part" and "apart" not the same, they are actually opposites of each other. Sports journalist are constantly writing about someone being "apart of a team" which is really a grammatically incorrect way of saying they are separate from the team.

Texans rookie Higgins makes history with deal

Texans rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins has become the first second-round pick in NFL history to receive a fully guaranteed contract.

Yeah, saw that last night.

On the one hand it is such a huge deal for Higgins. What a vote of confidence in him!

On the other hand it is pretty smart by the team. If they are absolutely certain he will make the roster and stick why not give him the guaranteed deal. The guarantee on a deal is worth something and if you guarantee it that can reduce the dollar amount. If you know you are going to be keeping him, it actually could save the team dollars and cap space.

Luke Grimes to Reprise Kayce Dutton in New 'Yellowstone' Spinoff

I thought for sure we'd see something about a Beth and Rip spinoff or even a 6666 Ranch series before we would see one with Kayce. I like the potential with this spinoff though.

Runescape. I've literally been playing it 24 years. Not every day and I take long breaks (months+ sometimes). But it's a trusty sidekick with an insane amount of content that I'll never "finish" in my lifetime.

But in a weird way it changed my life? I know it's weird to say but hear me out. Runescape membership cost $5 a month or something back in the day and my dad wouldn't pay for it. I was 10/11 at the time and needed to make money so I could buy the dang membership. I started doing anything, the entrepreneurial spirit came out of me. I was mowing lawns, shoveling snow, but I was a chubby little kid who wanted to be in the air conditioning more lol.

So I started doing those websites that gave you like 50¢ a survey or $1 if you signed up for a trial. (Yes you had to be 18 to do that, I lied. Sorry!) Eventually I said why don't I make a blog to help people with this stuff? I've gone back and read it (thanks to archive.org) and my God it was terrible and clearly written by an 11-12 yr old. But I got an offer one time to buy it for $150. That was multiple years of membership! That whole process made me learn about buying and selling domain names and websites. I started doing more of them...

I started buying and selling domain names. Creating websites that sold ringtones. Creating proxy websites to go to MySpace and Facebook at school (and the traffic from all my friends was easy stats to sell the website). Just expanding my capabilities on the internet. I remember selling a domain name to a gym for more than $1000 and that was when I was like "this is real". I was 13.

I decided to build my own computer. I didn't want to share the family computer anymore because I needed the time to build websites and play runescape without my brother or dad cutting into my time. That changed everything. I loved the crap out of building that computer. It fostered my love of technology to the max.

I expanded my empire if you will to doing more complicated things like building mobile websites for restaurants and small businesses. If you went on a mobile website for a small business in Northeast Ohio circa 2007-2010, I probably built it. $500 a pop. Probably did 100 of them.

But that love of computing and website building made me join the trade school program attached to my high school. Network Computer Technology. I got real world IT certificates, got an internship in the IT department at the county health department. I went to college for it, the whole 9 yards. Now I work in big tech and do wild crazy things all over the world. 800+ flights and 30+ countries in 10 years.

All thanks to Runescape. All thanks to those two teenagers playing it at the public library and me mustering up the courage to ask what the game was. It still fills me with joy whenever I spin up the game. The nostalgia still hits me every time even though they've been updating the game all these years. It's just a perfect game to me

Getting out of C3 is sloooooow. Not sure if you can go north, but I'd doubt it - think they try to funnel people south.

D3 is not much better, very slow going leaving the lot. However, we can usually get over and turn north on University as we leave the lots.

Also, the game that I have the most hours in is Slay the Spire. It's a roguelike card game where you start with a simple deck and through encounters, shops and battles, build a better one through the cards that you select and the artifacts you gain (those have a universal effect).

It's very simple to play, but deceptively deep, as you can come up with some pretty neat combinations that make you unstoppable, or you can have the perfect deck and have your run stopped cold by an enemy that the deck doesn't work well for or just a bad luck on your draws.

I don't game much anymore but I usually game on PC when I do. I'm still playing a franchise I started long ago on my Madden 2008 PC version. I used to play CounterStrike and Quake 2 back in college, we'd setup an online room just for guys on our dorm floor and play against each other. MarioKart on N64 when it first game out was a big one on the floor. We'd have nights we'd have a dozen guys crammed into a room and the winner of a race kept his spot and the other 3 spots then opened up for the next race.

The game I got into a few years ago that I really like is Red Dead Redemption 2. Borrowed a co-workers XBox in order to play it and have beat the storyline and just free roaming that map these days when I have time. That game has such a massive map and such a complex storylines that can have different results depending on how you play them out that I may reset and play it over again from the start sometime.

It's an absolute nightmare trying to get anywhere, especially on the weekends.

I have a sad.

It's also proud & happy, but sad.

Our oldest granddaughter has been living here in the same town. We've spent a lot of time together going to games, traveling, and just hanging around binging streaming tv shows.

About a month ago, she was laid off from her job working for a team helping to integrate Krispy Kreme & McDonalds, and that whole thing has gone belly up.

Yesterday, she received an offer from the parent company for BWW (among other brands). She applied for this job 2 years ago, but came in second in the selection. She was told she needed a more specialized management experience than she had, so she took the KK/McD's job to gain experience. The guy they hired 2 years ago was promoted, and she re-interviewed and got the job. That's the good news.

The bad news is the job is based in Atlanta. I'm going to miss her so much.

That is good news but I also feel for you. At least you have another place to go for a weekend visit.
