Quote of the Week: Season 10 Week 5

"The Osyssey by Homer. This is the part where Odysseus and some of his men were trapped in the cyclops Polyphemus' cave. Odysseus tricked him, saying his name was "Noman", so that when they used a giant walking stick they whittled into a spear to blind him, Polyphemus sounded crazy to the other cyclopes saying "noman (no man) has blinded me!". I decided to pick this translation of it up after hearing about a musical concept album in the works (Epic: The Musical) on TikTok. I'm not super into musicals, but listened through all the story that has been done so far (it's really good!) and then wanted to check out the original. Pretty neat read so far 😊"

"I was an 0231 (intelligence specialist). I actually didn't plan to enlist, but I was going through courses for administration of justice (thought I wanted to be a cop, howwwwwww much that trajectory has changed now, lol), and one of the professors had a Marine recruiter guest speak one class. I took the bait (only one from the class who did 😅) and went and talked with him later. I scored high enough on the asvab my recruiter hyped me up and was like "oh man, you can literally do *anything* you want, you'll have all the choices. When I went to MEPS, they told me what they had available was basically a mechanic (I wasn't interested) or recon, so I took the latter (recruiter took me to the unit and talked to the SgtMaj and everything, and he looked at my no-pull-ups self and said "well, you'd better get a top PFT and swim qual before graduation or you aren't coming here". The pressure was on, aaaaaand passed out at the end of the crucible with severe pneumonia (didn't realize I'd had it for at least a few weeks). Got out of the hospital after the weekend stay, was getting lunch at the chow hall when I was stopped by my senior drill. "Qualls, I get the feeling recon isn't for you. I hooked you up. How's sanitation sound? You'll be cleaning out the sh**ters?" *Trying not to die outwardly as I die inside* "Yes sir..." "Well how about Intel?" Of course, I ended up going back to the same force recon unit, just as Intel instead, and like @ohtwotwo said, those rose colored glasses wore off quickly about what that job means 😅"

"Obviously the Reds know the puzzle process. Separate into easily manageable sub-teams with clearly defined duties (edge piece finders/assemblers, piece color/design categorization, general assembly, etc), work on getting the puzzle to that ~60% point where you have the edge completed and at least multiple large segments that can be matched against the box art for proper positioning purposes. From there, it should be pretty smooth sailing for everyone to take what's left and start filling in the blank spaces between what's already assembled. Easy peasy."

More often than not, for desserts like these, I'm probably gonna grab a spoon if given a choice. Even if it's regular cake."

The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents." I could carry SO much crap effortlessly."

What's your favorite memory of The Dad Gaming?

196d

"This isn't an easy one. There's so much I got to experience and be a part of through TDG, it's not a period of my life I'll ever forget. There were plenty of ups and downs, fun times, loss... I can't truly say there was one favorite memory. - The shift from freelancing to working for TDG was nuts, but so much fun. @joel and the Some Spider folks had landed the Planters sponsorship and so I got brought on to coordinate that, and if anything was "boy, that escalated quickly", that would be it. We had all the different tournaments for The Dad Gaming League, but Fortnite itself pulled somewhere between 700-800 participants and we (having no esports experience 😂) had to figure out how to manage multiple waves of people trying to get in and play on a sorta strict timeline. On top of that, we added all kinds of goofy things people could do to win prizes and it was just comedy 😂 - Getting involved with all the charities we did, especially The Cure Starts Now/Nerf Cancer and getting to meet the Varns/Addison - Helping out with the Call of Duty "May Day" event we got to be a part of, volunteering to help fill in if they needed any backfills on any teams, and randomly getting paired with Aidan (who I had coincidentally written an article for on The Dad maybe a year before) and another major streamer. That ended up giving my stream (that I ironically barely use 😬) such a viewer/follower boost that I picked up affiliate on Twitch that month 😅 - Probably one of the biggest things would have to be the Friday Night FUBAR I ran (semi) weekly for the COD subgroup. We couldn't stream it on the TDG channel because the fact we all hung out in one big discord chat and got into 💫antics💫 made the language tend to go a bit off-brand, but we had some of the most fun just doing some crazy custom matches there (oh, and finding people who decided to randomly go AFK in a match, spray paint them, then pose all around them for "group photo" screenshots before molotov-ing everyone 😅)"

Not a super deep story, but it has berserker paladins of a dead god, murder mystery, political intrigue, a romance subplot, and I thought it was overall pretty fun), and I learned about this subgenre that would go under either fantasy or sci-fi (depending on the storyline) called LitRPG that's pretty neat where the character(s) have RPG-like stats and abilities and they level up, gain experience, etc as the story goes on.

"Q-bert is just a cranky potty mouth. Pac-Man is popping pills and running from ghosts he thinks are there and are out to get him. For sure that guy will pull some "pranks". Will they all be funny? Not to the receiver. Will they all be safe? Well, considering some of them are probably more schizophrenia-laced, drug-addled attempts at booby trapping the halls to get away from ghosts, I'd say no. Chances of the results of at least some of them being funny? Pretty good, wakawakawakawaka"

Oh, and if you *haven't* read Ender's Game, highly recommend. I haven't read the books after the first, but the first one stands alone as amazing (this is one of those where you definitely cannot just watch the movie and get the full impact of what the book intended, throw that garbage out, lol)."

Digital or Print?

330d

"I used to consume print books by the bucketful when I was younger. Now that I'm older and find myself on the go with kids and a lot of other stuff taking up space in my hands/car (and also having to regularly decide on what gets to take space in the house), I've switched things up a bit (also, I tried to hold on to a 100% print-only mindset for a long time and that ended up being a barrier to getting back into reading). Now, I have a progression/hierarchy: Lowest level- general reading, books/authors I'm not sure about or are unknown to me. This type of stuff I either get from the library (through Libby if I can) or Kindle Unlimited (I've got the 3 month trial that came with my Kindle and so far I'm actually liking it, might keep it). Mid-level- these are books from authors I know and like or at least trust, ones that come highly recommended from people that know what I enjoy, Or that look/sound really interesting and I can't get from the library or KU. These ones I'll buy on Kindle. Top-level- these are ones that I either know that I LOVE (have read before at least once) or know for a fact that I will enjoy (known author + highly rated + up my alley theme, etc). These will earn a physical copy spot on my shelf. As far as audiobooks.... I've done podcasts in the past when I did more physical jobs that I could just mentally check out and listen to stuff, but I just can't get myself to invest in the story of a book when someone is reading to me. The only time I made it through one and liked it was when I listened to Ready Player One narrated by Wil Wheaton 😅"

The Fate of Aerith

341d

"I've not played any FF games, so all I know about this is through osmosis of being a gamer and hearing people talk about it over the years. That being said: From what I know about this situation/storyline, I think she *needs* to die, for integrity's-sake. If she doesn't, it would solely be giving in to the wishes of vocal fans based off of feelings (and ultimately cheapening the feelings the game made all the fans feel for all these years). Oh yay, she lives, but now the sacrifice she made and the strong feelings of loss everyone had all this time are worth...... not as much any more because they pull a switcheroo. Bad feelings/emotions from a good game can be just as valuable as the good feelings/emotions (kinda like life 🤔). The only way I could see changing it and making her live be interesting and not feel like a cheap gimmick would be if there was some sort of butterfly effect explored from that change. For example, if there was then an equally surprising loss experienced later (maybe even something worse?), as a result of her *not* dying.... Maybe I'm just rambling and this doesn't make sense, I'm tired, but that's my $0.02 on the situation as an outside looking in perspective 😅"

Do you consider Palworld a Pokémon game?

342d

"As it stands right now, no. If it were to become the definitive IP in monster battlers (on top of anything else where you performed some sort of tasks involving "catching/taming" monsters then battling and/or otherwise exploiting them for your goals), then I'd say the gaming world should consider dubbing the title "Pokemon-like" (similar to rogue-like) or something along those lines."

As much as I enjoy the idea, MMOs might just not be for me (maybe it's because I have young kids and never tried them when I was young and had all the free time to blow on them? Maybe I should give the genre another shot once the kids are older....)"

Most of the time I'd still play with invincibility off unless I was having a hard time with a boss (hey I was a kid, lol), but I LOVED having all the weapons and especially the jetpack so I could try getting all the places you weren't supposed to (and inevitably glitch out the screen 😅)"

Intel Brief: Best Deals

388d

"I'll have to update this if I think of any others, but the two that come to me right off the top of my head are: Humble Bundle - https://www.humblebundle.com I think this site gets some mixed feelings from people because of the Humble Choice subscription. I used to use it, and for what it's worth, while I had it, I think I got some pretty decent games (added to my backlog, of course, lol). Can't speak to the quality of games in it now, but they were decent-ish before. My main use for it now is checking the bundles they put out. They have game, book, and software bundles. I don't do the software bundles often, but there have been some pretty cool game bundles for really cheap, and sometimes they'll have a tabletop RPG book bundle (I got a big bundle of Pathfinder 2.0 PDFs that way). Next site is similar, but more Tabletop focused: Bundle of Holding - https://www.bundleofholding.com Again, this one is a bundles site, but every bundle they drop is some sort of tabletop RPG PDF bundle. Some of them are a little more mainstream, some are a little more obscure, but what's for sure is I've bought plenty of them to add to my collection and.... well..... collect virtual dust in my Google Drive 😅 I've gotta run more games 🤣"

"My favorite gaming memory this year really has been seeing my oldest blossom into more of a little gamer buddy! Late last year/beginning of this year, she was exploring beginner games like Paw Patrol: On A Roll. Then we started picking up some of the nice starter board games like My First Castle Panic, which she loves (so analog gamer as well!), then we got Bluey: The Videogame to move into the 3d gaming world, and now have ventured into Lego games. She has a blast and loves it, I have fun, and she always tells me "you're so fun to play games with" whenever we're done 🥰🥺🥰"

403d

"Finally picked up a pair of modern Xbox controllers (been rockin it with the older models that have no Bluetooth, so to play on the computer I've had to use the janky dongle or go wired). I grabbed a few of the Lego games from the winter Steam sale going on to play with the older kid, and took her to Best Buy so she could pick a controller she wanted. Her first choice was the pink one she saw at Walmart the other day, but they were out, so this (Stellar Shift) was her second choice (and if I'm being honest, I really wanted it too, so I got a duo of it 😆). Those and a play and charge kit and I'd say we're ready to go for the New Year!"

"I think we're taking the tree down after New Year's this year. Didn't get much up in the way of other decorations for indoor stuff, and no lights up outside, because life was just chaos this year, but normally indoor decorations would start getting put away whenever we end up taking the tree down, and if we got lights up, those would come down whenever we got to them 😂"

Solicit a Recommendation

406d

"Probably picking up Baldur's Gate 3 for myself sometime before the Steam winter sale ends. Thinking of getting one or two more things for playing with the older kid. She handles the somewhat 3d movement in Bluey: The Videogame fine. Haven't tried any of the Lego games with her yet, so if anyone can recommend one of those that's particularly good, or something else that's at the Bluey difficulty level. If it has a really good discount on the Steam sale, that's a bonus 😄"

"Ok, not a "classic Thanksgiving food item", but it's pretty much in my inventory from the time it starts showing up in the grocery stores before Halloween until they dwindle out of stock sometime after New Year's (literally just picked one up with some last minute Thanksgiving groceries, lol). It's a pretty magical drink, so I'd say one glass of it restores 25% of your HP and a spell slot (if you're a casting class). However, if you drink the whole thing, you'll fully heal and recover all spell slots (be ready to take a massive hit to your movement stats for an extended time if you do this). "

442d

"I feel like this award primarily calls for a redemption story, which in my mind narrows it down to Cyberpunk or NMS. Cyberpunk is still in my backlog and I know it has made major leaps from what I've heard, but my first hand experience is that NMS is the ultimate comeback-kid story for failed launch games, and they're *still* continuing to add to it with new free content additions. Is it a perfect game? No, there's still weird things that happen like terraformed land respawning back into bases you've built and stuff, but it's a FAR cry from what it was at release, and has been an absolute labor of love/massive apology from the devs to the playerbase. NMS has my vote for this category."

Halloween Boardgames

466d

"I've gotta get the rest of the expansions for this one, but basically it's a one vs many game where one player plays as the embodiment of one of the seven deadly sins in the post-apocalypse, while the other players are part of a special forces team (that I believe includes a werewolf character option for some reason?) trying to fight off the minions and that sin's living avatar. The miniatures are super creepy, it has felt fairly balanced the couple times I've gotten it to the table, and the theme is just *chef's kiss*, especially for a Halloween party. Only downside I'd say is it doesn't have a high player count if you're breaking it out at a legit party, but at my age, a "party" is more likely to be another pair of parents or two, or a select few friends, soooooo 😅"

What type of cosplay is your favorite?

468d

"I love the all-out cosplay (the ones that spend forever cutting and sculpting foam, painting, wiring electronics if needed, all that). It just blows me away to see those things in person because the well done ones literally look like they seamlessly jumped out of a movie and you'd believe it was real. It's also the reason I have paralysis on doing any of my own, because I'd want to go to that tier and wouldn't be satisfied until it was amazing, so it could end up a forever project. My absolute favorite was my first year going to Maker Faire and seeing the guys who made true-scale (somewhat, I know it's still small but people be small compared to those guys) Space Marine cosplays, so they were walking around in 7+ foot tall power armor, carrying boltguns as big as my torso and chainswords 😅"

National Tattoo Day

556d

"(Forgot to answer this quest on National Tattoo Day, lol) This is an old photo of my tattoos (when they were fresh years back), but they've held up really well. It's also gaming related, as they're Warhammer 40k themed. Left shoulder (left photo) is the Blood Angels Space Marine chapter symbol, and a banner underneath that reads "You are not your story" (a line I learned in therapy, regarding those dealing with bad habits, addictions, etc.... a simplified version is you tell a "story" about yourself internally that you might start to act on impulsively, but you have to step back and recognize that's just that, a story, and you don't have to choose to be that). The right shoulder (right photo) is a purity seal Space Marines would put on their armor before battle (I choose the "psi" symbol instead of the standard skull because I was in the middle of my bachelor's psych program at the time), and the "paper" in front has the Bible verse "When you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you". I chose that basically because it's a miracle looking back how unscathed I've come out of some of the things I've gone through in life 😂"

I'd definitely be the extremely rare case on a Space Marine homeworld that is selected, survives all the trials and implants, and goes on to fight xenos/chaos scum...... right? 😬😬😬🤣"

Share a Significant Other Gaming Story

592d

"It was actually IRL gaming, but this is the closest option to that: My wife and I had signed up to go to our very first tabletop gaming convention (KublaCon, down in California) years ago. This was around the same time I had started up a podcast with a game shop owning buddy of mine, so we had done some interviews with some of the designers in the industry and I'd gotten a chance to know some of them a little bit. Well, one of the nights at the convention the designer of One Night Ultimate Werewolf (Ted Alspach) and his wife invited me, my wife, my buddy, and a handful of our gaming crew to their room for some rounds of ONUW with them. It was Ashley's (my wife) first time ever playing, but since it was such a large group, we had quite a few of the special roles included, making it a bit more complex. So the game is moving along, and during the discussion phase, all the evidence is pointing toward Ashley being a werewolf (she honestly seemed a little bit confused as to what she should be doing and was slipping up in her cover stories while everyone was debating what happened during the "night phase"). Time runs out and we go for the vote, and it's *near unanimous* voting for her. She innocently reveals her card, and she's the FREAKING TANNER (for anyone who doesn't know the game, that's probably one of the hardest roles to pull off, because you're basically only on your side, not the werewolves or the villagers. You *want* to be killed in the end. If you make it too obvious, people will catch on and leave you alone, if you don't make it obvious enough, you're likely to just be overlooked for being anything important). It was at that point, everyone realized I had married a freaking mastermind that we had to watch out for at all times..."

How many games do you buy a year?

593d

"This really varies, depending on bundles, sales, finances, and all that. I'm definitely a sucker for a really good Steam sale or Humble Bundle, regardless of how big my backlog is. 8 is likely a very conservative year, considering you can easily get 3 or 4 games per Steam sale for like $10 and there's like 3 or 4 major ones per year 🤣 If we're taking full price games, that's probably like 2, 3 at most 😂"

Probably the closest I've come is I beat this game and went back to play a little bit of it on the super hard mode, but never finished that, and definitely never got 100% of everything on any difficulty on it. Going for 100% on a game turns it into a job for me and then I hate myself playing it 😂"
