    Oooh my turn for stupid family stories. My wife's side of the family wanted to get together for  walk around the neighborhood to look at Halloween decorations. There are 4 families that are all about in the same like 5 square mile community, so I thought it would just be them but it ended up being ALL of them. My wife has 8 siblings and there are 8 grand children between them. We get to this fountain in an outdoor area first, all masked up (4 and 7 year old no less). The first SIL who had Covid (fairly mild case without any complications that I know about. Oh yeah, she is temporarily living with the grandparents) like a month ago shows up without a mask and her 2 & 4 year old do not have masks either. Grandparents and other younger kids show up without masks either. 2 other SIL's and family w/kids show up masked, one who is very strict with precautions because she had bone cancer as a kid so she doesn't want to risk anything. 12 masked and maybe 11 that aren't. Of those 11, 2 are freaking nurses! They had to go back to their cars to get their masks after my wife asked her dad if everyone was going to wear masks. I was ready to leave if they said no. Everyone got them and put them on with lame excuses about forgetting them in the car except for one sister and her husband. They had their dog and said they would walk in the back away from everyone...My wife was talking with them about 20 feet away asking them to put a mask on so I couldn't hear everything. They were so inconsiderate and selfish with their own family that they wouldn't wear a mask for a walk. They didn't even have ones so they had to borrow them from the covid sister who had a box of disposable ones. We started walking and I didn't look back at them much and it was dark, but I'm pretty sure they took them off. AYFKM, how hard is it to do this for your family? This is the first time the whole family has been together since like Christmas. My wife is pissed and is all worked up about the confrontation because that is not something she likes to do.

    • World War Z. Read with a full cast and it's so well done! (for anyone who just knows the movie and not the book, the book is done in the style of several interviews with people around the world sharing their experiences during a global zombie outbreak.)
    • The Kingkiller Chronicle books were great to listen to, now if we could only get the third one completed and published so it can be complete....
    • Both the US and UK versions of the Harry Potter series are fun listens in their own regard. Jim Dale puts a lot of effort into the US version and UK version is Stephen Fry and is just magical. buuuuuuuuuuut fuck JK Rowling so maybe pirate those if you wanna listen.

    King killer is great except for the distinct lack of third book. The second one was published almost 10 years ago...

    I have pretty much listened to all of these on audio books, maybe a couple like The Wheel Of Time that I read the books though. The whole list is in the spoiler, but here are a couple links to a couple on goodreads. I may or may not still have a copy of all the audio books still.

    :ps4: Spelunky 2, baby. I love it, it's way harder than the first. I can't get past the third area, and it's not even that easy to get to the second area just yet. There are these moles in the first area that can come out of anywhere, really.  You can see them digging through the ground, but a lot of the times you'll forget they're there, be working on something else, and all of a sudden one will come crashing down on your head. It's absolutely infuriating.

     

    That and :pc: Overwatch. Got back on that itch for sure.

    Spelunky 2 comes to stream in a week I'll probably pick it up. The first one was great.

    A few songs or albums you've been listening to lately

     

    Logic just released his "retirement" album and I liked it a lot. I'm a fan of nerd references (dat Solid Snake feature) and his discography is definitely something I want to explore more of in the future. One of the better songs I like off it just because it made me lol

     

     

    When I listen to Pandora at work I get a lot of Logic and I haven't heard a song that I don't like by him. 

     

    Edit: Not sure if this will work, but here is the station https://pandora.app.link/TUhwyqcFw8

    I watch Fugglet play EFT sometimes and  Aculite with whatever he is playing. I usually end up watch the recorded stream of Fugglet so I can skip the load times and stuff on EFT.
