teeth suck. my kid got 2 right away, then another 4, 1, and now has been dormant for a month or two - and has the luxury of an asymmetrical top/bottom smile if she's not in pain then its a learned habit/trained sleeping problem. being only 6months old might be a little young to start, but come march if its still a problem i'd recommend seeking some sleep training books or parenting blogs. Depending on the kid it could take 1 week...or much longer. I think it was harder on me to listen to him cry for a half hour while i knew if i just went up there and rocked him for a few it would be all better. But now he just says "nigh nigh" and lays down in the crib and lets me tuck him in, minutes later out cold

Episode 377: Warhammer, Glorious Warhammer
undermind9 replied to Rob Zacny's topic in Three Moves Ahead Episodes
Sorry to necro this thread some, i've had this episode on the list for a while - but figured it was evergreen. I have only known Warhammer in the video game setting. i was wallet out in a Games Workshop one time and realized i'd never find a friend to truly play with. I've played the DoW RTS and half the expansions (winter assault is a slog) & actually mid-way thru a DoW2 campaign. Also - I absolutely love Space Marine...the campaign is as iterated - killing orks is great & jetpack is the best part of the linear campaign. but also game falls off when angry chaos guys show up and the ork killing ends. However! Multiplayer Space Marine is really a good time, the horde mode requires good players and coordinated loadouts on higher difficulty levels & base-game multiplayer still catches just enough people online to fill a game. At this point people who still play are amazing at it, it is still satisfying to lumber in with heavy and full-charge plasma a point for multi-kill or fly in and out with jetpack. It pulls in the fun weapons - range and melee - you get as Cpt Bluepants in campaign and can play with them in MP freely. the dlc expansions were meh - added more maps & modes that fragmented the community so anyone still playing just goes base game. The 3rd dlc did add the Dreadnought mode which is great - but again fragmentation killed it. great ep, ty for a thorough dive into one of my favorite series -
Yoshi's Wolly World was a pretty good yoshi style platformer. it was much harder than i anticipated (going for 100% yarn and flowers at least - even more if you get the full gold star no damage / all stamps). The bonus levels per world are really well done someone else in this thread was a YWW enthusiast too It should be down in price for the winter, i've still got a world or so left - play on the handheld for a level or two at a time when my partner wants the TV

Damn it, but computers have become really complicated
undermind9 replied to Erkki's topic in Idle Banter
Thanks for the reply. So I ended up with the i5 6600k and msi z170A gaming m5 when microcenter put out a BF combo deal. I have little interest in over clocking out the gate, but should be pretty able in the future I did get the Rosewill bronze. It was down to 35, couldn't pass it up, on a bigger budget an EVGA would have been my first choice. All in all the build came up better than the link above - also am going to use an old case for the time being, plenty of airflow - just not as clean looking. My last piece is a GPU - I want an rx-480 8gb, but reading lots of black screen problems after few weeks. The alternative is a 1060, but in slack someone pointed out the AMD's are probably better suited considering the budget for the flight Sims it's being built for. -

Looking for input & anecdotal experience with a few parts on a new build - I got a green light from my Ma to put together a build for my step-father for Christmas http://pcpartpicker.com/list/2JRjJV He is intending on playing driving/racing & flying games. My intent is to future proof long past his video game attention span - and be strong enough for the cad & music editing software he does at home as well. Currently he has an old rig of mine (~2009-2011 parts) that runs some software well - some not great. What i am looking for thoughts on is specifically the video card. Currently showing a MSI 1060 - but could easily swap to an AMD RX 480. Both are around the same price, but for a low/semi-technical computer person which brand (AMD vs NVIDIA) seems to work better? Catalyst control center is a hot mess, but nvidia has been underwhelming on their driver stability lately Other points of saving / power reduction would be in the mobo/ram/CPU - maybe a gen4 ddr3 setup, but i think upfront monies pay dividends since wouldn't re-build this for another 5-6 yrs (or more) ty in advance! -
Quitter's Club: Don't be ashamed to quit the game.
undermind9 replied to Tanukitsune's topic in Video Gaming
I recently discovered the leader boards were cleared and put 2.5hrs into DD last night to reclaim steam friend bragging rights. My hand was extremely tense at the end & was so amped from the action didnt get to bed for another hour afterwards - so yes, i totally get the quit-for-now sentiment here -

i heard rumblings that the last few nvidia driver releases were problematic either for performance - or convenience my nvidia tray icon has a ! asking for update...but im weary. i think i'll let others test these out first -
ty everyone. re-reading that post this morning i still dont know how to form my emotions about the kid, past failures, and avoiding future missteps Thanks! actually posted this last year or so when I last shared the kid news - and i got it...and it is 25% complete on my desk. i suspect i need to finish it before the kid goes off to college - Will check in next year

its my little guy's 1st birthday. not to be cliche, but certainly went by fast and was not nearly as difficult as i expected. He was generally a very good infant - middle of the night wake ups were frequent...but reliable and practically set a watch to. Outside of a minor hip problem that'll be corrected over next few years - no problems. Once that hip brace came off this summer it was ez all-night sleeping too anyways, he's rad and im super happy how its worked - and working out. It really did pull me out of a deep rut of status quo and work-no life balance. i am going to continue to right by him best as i can; its a frequent source of anxiety and depression when i consider my own father's failures and lack of involvement. I do not lament him, just fear of falling into a similar mindset or trap - which is clearly irrational since im a different person, but blah. anyways, heres the cool dude at 1yr photos looking very dapper. i look forward to his future

Sacrifice would be an incredible pick up too, innovative for the time with limitless story potential. It really resonated, played around the same time Homeworld and a lot of StarCraft - peak RTS in my life.

I hadnt checked in here for a long time and found ~20 errors from postal codes it could not interpret...and the spreadsheet not understanding leading zeros (silly east coasters). This should help with the populating of the map especially in Canada, Finland, Sweeden, and Germany Also, despite my emails to smartsheet support, double pins are not displayed as a spread - so they just over write each other. I have done my best to find the next adjacent city to better represent amount of people in a given region - although at the sacrifice of some accuracy. ~225 representatives though! super neat, im glad this post & idea has prevailed

i did mine on thursday and my windows 8 "classic shell" install migrated over perfectly! the only noticeable change is the recycle bin icon & my command prompt text is too small
