This morning, the Facebook group that I'm in found out that the "official" Biffy Clyro account joined last week. - JaxSean May 12, 08:51 2

my flat is half hardwood, half tile. The tile has looked grey/grungy for years. Last week I mopped with just the right combo .. - mud May 12, 08:44 3

I beat the first levels of Doom Eternal and Streets of Rage 4. However, I won't be going back to Doom. It was making nauseous. - David May 12, 08:32 9
- I played the first level of SoR4 last week, iirc. It was fun, but I really think playing co-op is the way to go. I wasn't interested enough solo. -- nm - Shaun May 12, 08:45 1
  - My character had a guitar attack when I hit Y. It was only after one hit killed me that I realized I was using health every time I hit Y. -- nm - David May 12, 08:47
- It feels like a game that should come with a bag of meth. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 08:34 1
  - Or we are all getting old. -- nm - Spawn May 12, 08:36
- That makes me sad. I will skip it. Thanks. -- nm - Spawn May 12, 08:33 4
  - not going to like Borderlands 3 -- nm - colin May 12, 08:41 3

- 👍 -- nm - decline May 12, 08:23
I missed a curb step yesterday cause my old ass can't lift my feet up high enough. Fell. how embarrassing! I'm fine - completed my 3 miles woooo. - Pippy - Mountain Flower May 12, 08:18 6
- We're falling down buddies! - ty97 May 12, 08:51
- I'm always surprised at how jarring that kind of fall can be -- nm - prayformojo May 12, 08:31 1
  - Yeah, I'm feeling it today. nothing a Tylenol can't fix. Scheduled for 3 more miles today after work. -- nm - Pippy - Mountain Flower May 12, 08:36

- Oh, he also will get to take advanced Spanish and get HS credit for it. -- nm - Spawn May 12, 08:18 4
  - that's pretty cool. -- nm - mud May 12, 08:29 3
    - Especially with the year ending in e-learning. He is strugling in some of his classes. That may have added to the trombone decision. He loves playing - Spawn May 12, 08:32 2
      - I think in general its a shift when they start making their own decisions instead of listening to what the parents *think* or influence - Pippy - Mountain Flower May 12, 08:39 1
        
        Yeah, when he started playing he mentioned marching band in HS. That was why this one kind of hurt. No point in trying to force him on this, though. - Spawn May 12, 08:50
