@Ralizah Bloody hell, that’s quite the trip! Hope you all recover fine, Covid has a nasty habit of sticking around and making you feel like crap even weeks after you’ve seemingly got over it.
@kyleforrester87 People traded driving duties pretty constantly, yeah. Traffic was pretty clear on the highways, apart from a few nerve-wracking truck convoys, and the covid, while unpleasant, wasn't life-threatening. So we were just able to make it.
@Th3solution Yep, in both Canada and the U.S. My BiL rented a canadian car to cross the border into Washington, then rented an American car, then he and my sister drove back back into Canada, and then returned over the border again in just the American car. The next day, we set out on our trek.
Gas was insane each time as well, although we did find a few pumps in small little towns that somehow managed to stay in the lower range.
@nessisonett Yeah, I'm really hoping we don't have any persistent "long covid" problems.
How long did it take you to make a full recovery?
@Thrillho Yeah, it was a full couple of weeks, that's for sure.
I'll probably avoid international travel again as long as covid is still a factor, but once it's not, I'd love to spend a few weeks in Canada and 'see the sights.'
@HallowMoonshadow Her oxygen numbers aren't great right now, but we're having her use some whiffers and breathing treatments via her nebulizer to see if we can get her to a better place. COPD + covid is an ugly combo.
We're not prepared to take her into the ER atm unless it gets worse, though. People with covid are treated like lepers in hospitals, and she's not keen on being isolated from her family.
@Ralizah hell of a journey, hope your all OK and on the mend!! The smell thing with covid is weird, I only realised it had gone after burning toast and everyone else in the house complaining how bad the smell was!
Hmmm what have you missed???
Probably me and the colonel congratulating each other on sone number of platinums...
Rog entertaining us with some articulate reviews and buying some game merch...
Ness probably playing some retro stuff...
Kairu & Render setting times I could never hope to match on GT7...
Lolwhatno getting involved in the most random conversations wherever possible...
KilloWertz having relevant opinions on seemingly every game released in recent memory...
You know. Same old Push Square.
Welcome back. How you keeping.
@ThereThere sounds like bliss pal. I’ve just been working and gaming really… I really need to start exercising as I’m not getting any younger but am struggling to find the time.
All in all, it’s been a good year, played some bangers, still enjoying our new house… you know the little things. Good to have you back around here.
Everything alright with Razor on the Farcry 5 plat after?
yeah I would like to squeeze a daily walk in… work is just so crazy that it always seems to take priority and then before I know it it’s time to settle down.
Working on Wolfenstein: Youngblood (unbelievably grindy platinum… but not that far off now) and Sniper Elite 4 (great little game, which if you haven’t played it… I think you’d like). Should have them both wrapped in the next week or so. How bout you buddy, what you playing atm?
@ThereThere I wish I was slowly approaching 40. Having now reached the peak of mid forties I feel I am now rapidly rolling down to the other side. Make the most of your youth while you can 😉
@sorteddan Those times you are looking at must be the ones I got lucky on 😂
@ThereThere the Wolfenstein: Youngblood plat isn’t difficult… it’s just an absolute time-sponge. Master every weapon, purchase every upgrade (both character and weapon) etc. I’m easily 80 hours in and can see at least another 10 maybe more before I bag it’s shiney.
I hadn’t heard of Republique as it goes… looks okay from the reviews but it doesn’t sound like it’s really grabbed you. No matter though, your gaming perspective is about to be totally redefined with Bloodborne… exciting times 😉
@ThereThere I know exactly what you mean… the curse of finding a game that you click with on every level… completing it… and then the fruitless search for something new. Happy hunting!
@KilloWertz@AgentCooper Most of comments have been removed from the Last of Us TV show trailer article yesterday, but you get the jist of what happened. Not a great day for this site.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
