    Sledgstone got a reaction from slippers in I got a new phone. Galaxy S20 FE. I bought it from best buy with an early black Frida   
    My case arrived early and I got my new phone activated.  This is a huge upgrade over my s7. Way nicer camera too. Whats interesting is I looked at i-blason's website but they didn't have a galaxy s20 fe case. They have plenty of s20 cases, but the fe is a different size and none would fit. But I got my supcase cases in the mail and the return address was for i-blason. wtf. lol. I guess supcase is a company of i-blason. The case appears to be damn good quality. My phone has a protective screen on it from the manufacturer so I left that on for now. I did buy a couple film screen protectors off amazon that already arrived. I never knew there were tempered glass screen protectors until the other day. Those look decent but some people say they don't let the s20 FE thumb print scanner work correctly. I might just take this film protector off anyway because my case has a built in one anyway. I also saw some people like to use a tempered glass protector over the camera lenses, but it messes up photos unless the flash is used. I could understand using a protector, but I don't think I'll get one just for the camera lenses. My case is big enough that the camera area won't be touching any surfaces when I sit the phone down so that should be good enough.

    i use i-blason case. in the past i dropped it like a couple times on a cement floor with no noticeable damage so its pretty sturdy. you already ordreded yours but i-blason also have a case for your galaxy s20 under $20. check it out if your other case doesnt work out. for a better cover, a tool pouch/phone holster works well too if you dont like your phone exposed when you have it clipped on to your belt or front pocket.

    ^ nice. for apple, they dont hide the logo when comes in mail. so i rather buy at a store. i had my iphone 7 for 4 or 5 years now and wanted an upgrade. so i went to best buy this wednesday and only unlocked iphone they had was iphone SE, which is suppose to have iphone 8 and 11 features combined, or so they say lol. so i went to apple store near mall and one of employees told me apple store doesnt allow walk ins..wth..only online sale. so i went to another best buy to see if they had unlocked iphone 12 (newest) and nope, you need to get a contract. so i ended up with two iphone SE (one for me and one for my mom), which i had in my mind to get if i couldnt get iphone Xr or 12 so it worked out for me in the end. got the 128 gb one for $450, compare to my iphone 7 with only 32 gb but they both have 4.7 inch screen size so thats only downside.

    Sledgstone reacted to DeathscytheX in Street Fighter V was free last month. I loaded it up for the first time, played 4 mat   
    The whole thing is so complex now. You have the traditional weak to strong punches and kicks. and now there is these V-moves, and throws, counter throws. The timing is way more precise because the jumps feel so short. I really didn't enjoy it. I still like games like Smash Bros because of its simplicity in move sets but depth because of it. But I guess just moving two sticks around and mashing shoulder buttons atrophied my gaming muscles from the SNES/Genesis days. I use to have a callus on my thumb from fighting games.
    Competitive gaming really sucked the fun out of the fighting genre for me... much like it has the FPS scene.

    fortunately it turned to the right as soon as laura made a landfall. not a drop of rain and no wind. greetings for that day was like "hey, we dodged a bullet" or "hey, we are so lucky" lmao. have to see next week though, 2 new tropical storms heading this way from atlantic
    lol damn..8 hours sounds like a nightmare. i hope you dont have to go thru that everytime you clean it. O_o the waterheater that got replaced had no problem for 20 years. or at least i dont remember it needing any maintenance. but the new one is electric, maybe little more than a year old, and it already had an overheating issue a couple months back. a technician said it was an error due to power outage but idk. i hope it lasts as long as the old one bc just by calling someone to check on it is like $120.

    The last mobile game I played was Snoopy Pop.  But my phone sucks and games load too slow most of the time. That along with me taking videos of my dogs doing cute stuff I'm always running out of space.. then I delete a game to take more videos of my dogs.

    this brings back my painful memory lol..damn almost 2 decade ago i use to download new episodes of inuyasha from torrent every week with excitement but out of the blue it got discontinued and it bummed me out so badly. it was like some kind of switch turned off inside of me..it felt like a betrayal. i was like why even start if you cant commit? what about us fans who supported your show? i believe this was 2nd anime that pulled this stunt on me and left me feel cheated for investing my time and money..yes i downloaded it for free but i normally bought a complete series on dvd if i liked them, plus merchandises like manga, toys & games that came along w/ its anime. now that was all pointless. i looked up manga to see kikyo's demise and lost interest in anime altogether at that point on. over the years i do seldomly give a try on new ones that look interesting on netflix or amazon prime but i just never finish watching them past no more than a couple of first episodes. attack on titan was an exemption but i grew tired of that one too. so i moved on to wcw/wwf, when that got old i moved on to pc games. it was only recent that my brother got me interested again in console games around late 2018. lol his wife wont let him play video games (not completely bc he has his nintendo switch) so he gave me his ps4. his ps3 and ps2 were still here when he moved out so i started to play them as well. got a new switch for my birthday around the same time i got ps4 so i havent spent a dime on a console yet he says he is getting ps5 so ill visit him often to play and to see if its worth getting. if i have nothing to watch, i just play old anime on tv like escaflowne as a background noise while i play video games

    Drinking coffee and watching science videos sounds like a good Friday night to me.
    I've been watching alot of science channel but that will stop soon because we'll be canceling our cable package in another 2 months when our promotion price expires. Then I'll be getting caught up on all the science videos on youtube I've been neglecting. Btw, PBS space time is a really good science youtube channel. I keep forgetting to post videos from them in the youtube topic.

    This is why you watch subs, no issue keeping to date and you don't have to worry about people spoiling shit (aka me) Honestly though you're not really missing much Fire Force wise. Been kinda slow progression story wise with some amazing fights but that's it (and some damn good humor).
    Heh, you're where I am most of the year when it comes to shit like this. I lost a lot of my hype for anime this year with everything I wanted to watch getting pushed back until next year (exceptions being Fire Force, No Guns Life, SAO, and Fruits Basket (which my god are the feel getting intense, good lord)). Then again I go through a span of time every year where I just don't want to look at anime so I won't watch it for a few months. If it wasn't' for the fact that four shows this season are shows I wanted to watch I'd of probably gone cold turkey again until fall.
    Bad time to choose not playing AL with it being the 2nd year Anniversary. Warspite's retrofit item is up for grabs again (unless you grabbed it before you stopped playing) and starting Thursday Bismarck's event is being rerun (fucking finally, I can get my hands on her. I have so many cubes saved up for this). Plus the bastards finally gave my girl Amagi a skin (not an oath skin like I wanted but it's still a nice swimsuit skin). Honestly though I hear ya on Arknights (also I noticed  you haven't been getting on). I was getting back into it recently (hell I finally started progressing the story after months of not touching it) and now it feels like a chore again. Then again 90% of the mobile games I play are chores but for some reason I still play them (then again I have no choice in SINoALICE being a guild leader and all) even if I'm not really enjoying them anymore.
    Fuck I've found myself watching weird shit as of late on Youtube since the normal stuff I watch is hardly interesting (outside of the news channels I watch, shit I haven't watched a gaming related YT video in months outside of trailers). Been really into Weird History as of late (learning a lot of shit I didn't know and the video's are quite entertaining) and top 10 video's (why I don't know, normally I stay away from them like they're the plague but for some reason they've piqued my interest. I might need help).

    There's only 2 things to do in New Orleans. Eat and Drink. Yeah they got a zoo and aquarium... and the WW2 Museum. But the majority of the city is restaurants and bars.

    I'd probably hit that $20 ticket every now and then. The scratchoffs seem to be a waste. Like cool you can win $500? Fuck that, I want the $100 million. The MS lotto website actually has the prizes left on all the scratch offs and most of the big ones are gone. Seems like an odd choice, I'd assume no one would buy any of them anymore when all the big prizes are dried up.
    The most lax alcohol laws are in New Orleans. There is a bar at every street corner, and you can just walk around the whole city with a open container. I remember the first time visiting as an adult, I stopped at a gas station and they basically had fifths of every mainstream bourbon behind the counter. You could fill up and get a bottle in one stop.
  18. Haha

    Nah, they'd never do that. We do have strict open container laws. Like you couldn't take your alcoholic beverage out of a restaurant and go around and drink it outside. They do have an entertainment district downtown where this is allowed now. I don't know if the state of the law now because the first thing they did when the shutdown happened was allow togo cocktails, alcohol deliveries, etc from bars and restaurants. From what I've seen so far, none of my favorite spots to eat have permanently gone out of business.

    I couldn't imagine living in a dry county. Again, they're just losing business. I actually think there are a few dry counties in MS and they drive over here to load up and go home. Surprisingly they just passed medical marijuana not too long ago. I always joked that weed would be legal before we ever had a lotto and it looks like thats coming true.

    I just did a cursory search not using any keywords so I'm sure more would show up if I actually got all "old school AC" with my keywords. Used to be that searching Ancient Clan was enough to bring up the forums but as you pointed out changing the URL probably fucked with all that.

    @slippers ROTFLMAO!  Thats horrible.
    I think it must have been at least 6 months to a year ago when the google issues must have started happening. Even the sitemap on the google console had "0 indexed pages" When I update everything it now has over 9,000 pages. wtf. x_x Our search results definitely turned to crap a couple years back too when I changed it from forum.ancientclan.com to ancientclan.com/forums. That completely screwed up all the urls google had. But I had to make that change for the https to be way easier. oh well. I guess we'll see if this helps any.
    @Strider Hiryu thats interesting. at one point people could google ancient big wheel and it'd bring up an old topic about Big Wheel cologne. *checks for the smilie* there it is..

    Not gonna lie just google searched the forums and it doesn't even come up at all unless you actually put "ancientclan forums" in the search bar. Not sure if that's sad or just how not relevant we are
    I did learn that there is a brand of scotch named Ancient Clan though, that was informative.

    Sledgstone reacted to Strider Hiryu in Damn heat wave needs to stop. We usually only get around 8 days of 90s+ every year. M   
    Man I wish I had 40 nights and 75 days in the winter (that's the only thing I loved about living in Arizona, 9 months of the year were high 60's to low 80's with no humidity. It was the 3 months of the year of 100+ temps that sucked ass) instead of this 10 above days and -30 nights bullshit (that's average, we've had down to -60 with windshield).
    Bah, I'd take straight 90's without humidity. The average temp the last couple of weeks here has been high 80's with roughly 80% humidity (plus we're getting pummeled every other day by severe thunderstorms which is upping the humidity factor), fucking sucks when you have a wear a mask and unload trucks all day at work (where it's at least 10+ degrees hotter).
    Pfft, I remember when it would hit 60 in Phoenix and everyone would be all bundled up where I'd be outside in a tank top, shorts, and flip flops. Damn Southerners don't know what true cold is

    there really is no time getting use to when temp drops to 40 over night and then shoots back up to 75 in the afternoon during fall/winter. X_x; i dont even have a winter jacket so i wear 4 - 6 layers of clothing at a time lol
    and some jackass reported me yesterday for not wearing a mask. A/C was not working and inside the store temp was close to 90. lucky i already went home and my coworkers played cool so the store got off with a verbal warning but this sunday will be over 100 so idk. itll be hard.
