I’ve been playing a heavily modded Stardew Valley for a while. Always a good time killer in-between patrols.

Picked up Tunic recently. Having to use cheese guides on the boss fights as those have no worth to me. It’s the exploration that drew me.

I’m taking it slow with this expac. Got my Ret Pally to 62 and my destro lock to 61 today, and might do something on a few other toons before calling it a night, but I’m enjoying the slower pace I decided to go. Glad you can save some gold learning the skinning skill just by skinning a beast, and mining skill by mining a node. Haven’t tried herbalism yet as I don’t know when I will take one of my herbers to DI.

I don’t understand this. It’s trying to download the entire game again. I already have it, it’s pointed at the correct folder, but nooooooo let’s randomly put it in some other folder it’s never even been in before! :rage::rage::rage:

Elune help me, now it has to “initialize” again. Last time it took HOURS. :sob::sob::sob: I just wanna plaaaaaayyyyyyyyy.

I took a new character to the Isles. Same thing. Only fish. I figured I am doing something wrong, so I went to the Horde starting area. I fished there in a cave with an elite frog and voila, I got cloth and salt and beetles. The Alliance starting area only gives fish. If you need a variety of fish, go Alliance!

So the launcher warning says there is going to be downtime on Thursday November 30th, 7am to 8am.

I have no had enough coffee to stop myself from panicking thinking that it’s Thursday. Immediately thought I was running late to an appointment.

I’m the exact opposite. “It’s Friday already?!? Huh… I had an appointment yesterday. Oops.”

One of my sisters’ gremlins got me sick on Thanksgiving, so I wook this week off from work.

No work = zero sense of what day it is to begin with.

Hope you feel better soon.

Then that is a bug! I was fishing in the deep lava pools farther away from the starting area. Nice to know you did find a place though and have figured it out! Oh, that frog gave me a toy when I killed it.

EDIT:

Anyone else who loves to fish and wants to use the new interact features. Nikki Crenshaw has a fantastic post explaining how to set it up, and gave the /console commands to ensure it does not fail to pick up. (longer distance and wider arc for example).

VERY helpful thread.

Earth bread

  • 1 cup oil
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups sugar (I went with white granulated)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup zucchini, finely grated
  • 1/4 cup raw carrots, grated
  • 1/2 cup mashed banana
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 325°F. Mix the oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla together; beat thoroughly until smooth. Add dry ingredients, then add veggies and banana. Blend well until smooth. Add nuts.

Pour into 2x 9x5-inch loaf pans, greased and floured. Bake for one hour. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove from pans and cool completely on a rack.

Honey butter “spread” (glaze)

  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 stick butter, softened (I went with unsalted but the recipe doesn’t specify)
  • 1/2 cup powdered (confectioners) sugar

Mix all ingredients together with a mixer until smooth, then pour on bread after it’s cooled.

Enjoy!

…I swear I just saw a real trailer for the fake movie from the opening scene to Scrooged. What the heck??

So the Scrooge movie on IBC? Starring Buddy Hackett, Jamie Farr, Solid Gold Dancers, & Mary Lou Retton.

The one before that, with Lee Majors. The Night the Reindeer Died or something like that.

The real movie is called Violent Night, evidently. Same vibes, though.

Shhh, don’t say that too loudly. :stuck_out_tongue:

Most general game and account tickets are just under 2 weeks and do seem to be improving. Most higher priority issues can be anywhere from a few hours to a few days right now. That tends to be can’t play issues like character stucks, account access, compromises, etc…
