EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

i use windows 10 - but I tweak the settings to suit my needs. As a gamer, I need optimal performance, and as a nerdy computer person, I know how to achieve my goals... I also beta tested windows 10, so I knew how to use it prior to it coming out.  

My geeky side is showing.

Do tell, what games do you play?

Do tell, what games do you play?

World of warcraft, Counterstrike GO, Sims 4, dragon age, a few single plays when I'm REALLY bored here and there...

but WOW and CSGO are my two primary games. I've also beta tested numerous games over the years, and played almost every MMO (including final fantasies) out there.

I prefer social games, since I have no friends in real life to talk about interests with, except kids. I can only talk about kids for so long before I feel the urge to drink. (Kidding, sort of.

.)

I just fell in love with you a little more. I use to be addicted to video games.. Mainly RPGs and strategy. I haven't in a long time. I also play sims 4 on the Xbox and use to play a lot of harvest moon cause it was cute.

I've also played every diablo in the blizzard franchise, and pre-purchased the E ticket for blizzcon in november.. not because I care at ALL about blizzcon - but because I wanted the pets and mount that came with the ticket.... My husband mocked me for a week.

The huge open world concept maps are over whelming for me. I now just watch my hubby play.

I have to research the game.

I have to research the game.

worlf of warcraft??? its fun. and you can try it free.

You also don't have to pay for a monthly subscription if you get good at farming gold... people put the monthly subs on the auction house and sell them for gold, so people who are cheap, but can earn money, can buy their monthly subscription with out paying real cash.

I'm too lazy to farm gold, so I pay the 15/month and keep my in game money for stuff I want ingame.

That, and it's easier/faster for me to write 2-3 blog articles in 20 minutes, to make 15 bucks, then spend all my spare time farming gold because I haven't figured out how to play the auction house to make millions, like math genius's do.

Snow?
Sometimes, last winter was mild, previous few months of subzero and -20 windchill. Sometimes snow, sometimes blizzards, sometimes not much.

Jeff Foxworthy on Upstate New York:

"You might live in upstate New York if..."

"If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Upstate New York."

"If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights a year because Saranac Lake is the coldest spot in the nation, and Syracuse gets more snow than any other major city in the US, you might live in Upstate NY."

"If your local ice cream stand is closed from October through May, you might live in Upstate New York."

"If you get 131 inches of snow in a week and you comment that 'winter's finally here', you might live near Oswego in Upstate New York."

You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.

You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.

Blizzcon isn't a game. It's an event that happens in CA.
It's like 4 days of game expo's, booths, people in costumes, competitions for those who do PVP in WOW.... etc etc. They stream it live, and you buy an e-ticket to watch the event.
