This was good fun. Greed and Death somehow was exactly what I thought he'd be like, GVH surprisingly a bit of a legend, and the back and forth about old gameplay feuds were unintentionally hilarious as I didn't realise the rest of the site had as many longrunning obscure beefs as we do.

As I have made proper and appropriate tribute, please remove me from NCR's assassination hitlist.

Really enjoyed that conversation. Looking forward to next week.

Hoping that next week's the adventures of Mushet will bring forth new revelations. :p

I don't remember that, was that towards the night?

I'm curious as to what happened when my computer decided zoom was malware. Did the meeting just end, or did I just leave

What time did your computer start to do that?

Mushet was there for a loooong time. Didn't say much but on his screen he kept moving around from place to place, and at one point we all commented on his dog. Was fairly late though.

Yeah, I guess I can just be counted out for all future Happy Hour calls. Board of Education here just blocked Zoom so I can't access it anymore.
I am Center-Left Libertarian. (-3,-3) on the Political Compass. My friends call me Whiskey cause I was named after a bottle of Jack Daniel's.

I've been drowning myself in work, I just started Culinary School, and I recently got called a Boot Licker for thanking a veteran for their service. I'm sad that I have to witness the part of history where supporting Cops and Troops is seen and a radical ideology.

My computer decided to die at 20 past 2 in the morning. There weren't many people there at that point though.

What?

Oh, my only access to the internet is through the computer that the school gives me, and through a firewall or whatever, they can block my access to sites they don't want me on. Zoom is one of those sites now.

no, the school lends us Chromebooks so that they can control browser extensions and downloads which was a huge issue when they were lending us Macbooks.

If you tell me what they're using to manage it, whether that be the internal settings or software, I definitely can work out a way around it with a few minutes on a test pc.

Or use your phone.
