Must admit though whilst Corona has taken it's toll on the world there has been at least one thing boosted by it and that's Esports and by that I mean people playing sports games online a lot. Fifa hav ebeen running a few virtual onlin etournaments and even F1 have joined in by running a few Virtual Grand Prix's. I'm not good enou ght oparticipate in these things myself but it's good to see them chipping in to try to help peoples morale. Yup, NASCAR has been doing iRacing with about 15-20 of their drivers from the various series for about the past 3-4 weeks or so. Kinda cool to watch because my husband (former dirt track driver and SCCA driver) has been iRacing for the past several years now.

[Corona is made in Mexico and currently shut down as it is not considered an essential service there. Thanks. Interesting. Don't know about other states, but New York breweries and wineries are considered essential. Same for Florida: liquor stores and breweries/distilleries are considered essential. I do know our local St. Augustine Distillery has shifted from their usual production to making free hand sanitizer that they've been passing out to first responders and whatnot.

That's because in Germany or Austria they actually have good beer. US beer is essentially bubbly yellow water. When I did drink, I always preferred Sleeman's as my personal beer of choice. But I haven't even sniffed alcohol in 9 years, can honestly say I'm not sure I would like it anymore. In fairness, you can get good beer in the US. It's just that most of us have terrible taste. In everything. (This has actually turned out to be relevant to our politics, but I'll leave the mechanism as an exercise for the reader.) My local supermarket, in addition to stocking local and New York State beers, stocks from Dogfish Head, Lagunitas, Bell's, etc. Doesn't mean we don't sell tons of Corona. Used to, anyway. I don't know how well that brand is doing these days. Corona is made in Mexico and currently shut down as it is not considered an essential service there.

There's one good thing to say about all this craziness: at least the virus isn't turning people into flesh eating zombies. Can you imagine the chaos if it did... Yet.

I have definitely been affected in Florida in that my company basically has 95% of us working from home as mandatory since beginning of last week. So, I've essentially self-isolated myself anyway, only going out to procure groceries.
My girl friend and I were also supposed to road trip to the Georgia Renaissance Festival end of next month, but that has been postponed and tentatively rescheduled for Memorial Day weekend - we shall see.
And while a lot of people are feeling like working from home is a vacation or extra free time, I have been busier than ever - working at a newspaper, we have obviously been knee-deep in cancelling or rescheduling ads almost non-stop as events are cancelled and stores are temporarily closing or no longer doing the sales they had planned, etc. And having to track all that lost ad revenue. It's mayhem.

Good to have the best dragon back. It's awesome. It's like when Hawke turns up in Inquisition (assuming you don't then kill them). Ok, the analogy is falling over somewhat... Sarcastic Hawke all the way with just a smidgen of Diplomatic.

Greetings, BSN! Long time, no see. In the end, there's something about this place and the people here that gets under your skin and stays forever, so after some time off and some friendly cajoling of old friends, I have returned. However, I would like to note that my role here will be changing. While I do still have Admin powers for the sake of organizing the forum structure, pinning threads, and other space-building elements, I will NOT be taking an active role in moderation or disciplinary actions. Those will remain in the wheelhouse of our moderation team. To illustrate this new role, I am simply Curator - a librarian who keeps the Resource Libraries on task and maintains the overall architectural flow of the forum. A member of the moderation team also will keep the Admin powers I bestowed upon them before my year-long sabbatical as they are far more capable than I with plug-ins and bugs/troubleshooting and having two active members with Admin structural powers is important should one need to fill in for the other in that regard. Speaking of moderation, however, I do return to let you know of some structural changes within the moderation team - addressing the matter of who is actively moderating and who is not and what those roles will look like moving forward. As such and after much deliberation of logical timelines, the moderation team is enacting the following policy for moderators, effective immediately: 1. Retirement: Moderators who indicate they are leaving the forum or no longer wish to be a moderator will be placed into a Champion role as their "retirement" and acknowledgement of their service to the forum. This will happen at the time they let us know of their wishes. They will no longer have moderation powers and will be removed from the Staff page. 2. Farewell/Going on Break: Sometimes moderators may make a somewhat ambiguous post in the Mod Cave about taking a break for real life issues or other reasons, and often a timeline of potential return is not given. In this scenario, their moderation powers will be temporarily revoked but they will still maintain access to the Mod Cave to alert us upon their return, at which point reinstatement will be discussed if they wish to return to the moderation team. The Staff page will recognize them as On Hiatus. If they have not been heard from in 6 months, a PM/email will be sent to check on them. At 12 months, if still no word, they will be retired to Champion status and no longer considered as part of the active moderation team. 3. MIA: If a moderator says nothing of leaving and is discovered to have been inactive on the forum (no posts or "likes" to posts) for 3 months, moderation powers will be temporarily revoked but they will still maintain access to the Mod Cave and a PM/email will be sent to check on them. If there is no response after 6 months, the Farewell/Going on Break procedures will begin. These changes are to ensure that the Staff page and current roles of the moderation team accurately reflect the activity level of who is available to help when needed and who is on hiatus or officially retired. This also ensures that moderation powers aren't floating around on accounts whose activity level has come into question. The current list of today's changes enacted: Retired/Champion:CrutchCricket Draining Dragon Grinch On Hiatus:Cyonan Gecko Active Moderators:ArcadiaGrey DragonKingReborn mousestalker regack SofaJockey Active Support Staff:DragonRacer

Triple-posting, watch me goooooo... So, quickly ran through that thread. Highly unscientific and woefully small sample size, but the average age based on the posters who actually listed their ages (and I rolled mine in as well) is 35.32.

I was worried you'd might take it that way. I actually didn't mean that as a personal attack. It's a joke about making sure the forums dont fundamentally change because of a bunch of teens coming in. ...Speaking of which, what's the average age of a BSN member anyway (asking anyone). Edit: Sorry if it came off wrong. Apology accepted I wasn't sure if I was reading too much into that or not. So I also apologise! Edit2: ask docsteely , Birthday Guru. Although, not sure if we have to give our birthdate when signing up, can't remember. If so, mods could tell us a number. My guess is 33. This made me curious, so I'm poking around to see if this is information available for staff to see. So far, I'm just seeing birth month and day. No years or ages. Probably a good thing overall, honestly, just knowing how the Internet is.

More squeakers on the mics And constant swearing.
Kids are awful.
I always laugh when the "I *insert colorful metaphor here* your Mom!" comes up. I delight in flipping on the mic to inform them that necrophilia is against the law in most, if not all, states and provinces. Usually results in a stunned silence.

...Speaking of which, what's the average age of a BSN member anyway (asking anyone). Been a loooong time since I remember the last "how old are you thread" from either the start of this BSN or maybe in the way back machine when old BSN still had an Off-Topic area, but I seem to recall it skewing older than one might assume. Like late 20's-early 40's on average kind of dealio. For my part, I'll be 34 in April.

When we condensed some of the lesser-used boards last month, HamleticTortoise brought up a pretty good and interesting idea here about restructuring based on genre, rather than by developer. As we see more developer boards with less traffic (Rockstar and Bungie/Digital Extremes, specifically) combined with several folks chiming in about a preference to browse by genre due to not always knowing which developer made what game, we wanted to get some input from the forum at large. I rather like the idea of rolling into a few simple genre boards, but the question is - how to best label the genres while also not listing a ton of boards (as I realize it's getting to be a bit of a lengthy scroll these days)? Here were some initial ideas from back in the Mod Cave. What ideas for structuring do you folks have? How can we best hash out/describe the genres? General Games Discussion (Discuss other developers, games and general gaming news.) BioWare/EA and Legacy BioWare Games (General BioWare news, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, SWOTOR, Jade Empire, etc) Action/RPG (Assassins Creed, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, SWOTR, Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead, Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, etc) Shooter (Destiny, Warframe, Borderlands, Halo, Overwatch, Fortnite, etc)

Psh, DragonRacer posting in the Anthem section pretending she might tear herself away from ESO... riiiiiiight. It's gonna be a hard juggle, but I'm gonna try. (ESO does have tight claws in me, especially since I'm Vice GM of a guild. LOL)

Michael Gamble @gamblemikeAlso being handled. The number of times we answer the same question...I think we need to collate it all Luis @capprominentMake a statement post on a sub reddit? Or how about a pre launch live stream coalescing both all the answers but also providing and update on what else will be in the works post launch. Ben Irving @benirvoInteresting idea If only there were some place on the Internet where they could make a long-form post containing all the answers and blast that link out on social media, rather than trying to collect and collate a million tweets. You know, something like a... a forum or something...

For me, it is because I do not want to feel rushed through a story.
For that reason, it may seem odd that I'm getting Anthem, but I'm giving it a try and I do really enjoy the flight elements and verticality of combat in a larger world.
But ME3MP was a Holy Grail for me because there wasn't a unique story to feel rushed through. Each match was just agents performing the same random objectives the game could choose from, killing enemies, and surviving. Sure, you had the baked-in background of the Reaper War from the main game, but there were no NPCs in the matches to listen to.
That reason is also why there are some parts of Elder Scrolls Online that I have resigned myself to never enjoying. Group dungeons, for instance. They have stories and NPCs to talk to, but even if you are in a group of friends who have no problem waiting for you to follow the storyline and talk to the NPCs, there's still this rushed timer in the back of my head that I am holding other people up because I WANT TO ENJOY THE STORY. So, basically, I have no idea what any of those dungeon stories are because I just go with the herd running through completing as fast as possible to get the loot.
It's sad and SUCKS.
However, ESO also has a TON of other content that you are perfectly capable of soloing in a PvE world, and so that keeps me happy. I do the overworld quests, the DLC quests, the chapter expansion quests, and I can do them at my own pace. No internal countdown clock. So, since I can greatly enjoy about 80-85% of that MMO, I am okay accepting that I won't really interact with the 5% PvP area, the 5% group dungeon rushfest, or the 5% endgame YOLO BIS snobfest of trials.
I'm *hoping* Anthem will have enough story in Tarsis by myself to be compelling, to help me overlook being force-dragged ahead in missions. And I'm hoping the freeplay world will be consistently fun enough to tool around in to also make up for the above.
I am more of am ambivert - sometimes I'm recharged hanging out with other people and sometimes I am recharged by having alone time. I think I lean a bit more towards the introvert side as far as what recharges me, but I'm definitely not fully there because I never feel more alive than when at Gator games (sea of people) or medieval faires (smaller sea of people with lots of one-on-one interaction), so I'm definitely not struggling with that element. But I DO have to interact with people all day everyday at work - lots of them being folks I do well just to stomach the existence of, giving some of the "lovely" personalities we have oozing around there - so I don't always want to come home and hook into the matrix of other people AGAIN. It's NICE to unplug from society and dive into a solo fantasy experience, be it a book or watching TV or playing a SP game.

Welcome redshirt … Don't worry, we don't make you sit out a year before you can post … Unless you play in the SEC, for a team not named Florida … In which case, I make no promises … 'Cause … DragonRacer . Well-played. Although, as a Trekkie, my first thought was for the poor dear's survival...

Noticed the results are skewing pretty hard towards custom MP character (excluding people who don't MP). I'm surprised it's not more in the main character option - anyone have any opinions on why they would rather have a separate character doing MP stuff rather than just have your SP character able to do both types? For me, I think it's an offshoot of keeping SP and MP separate but related. It's also a logical extension of what we're already used to from BioWare MPs, in that we have our SP hero (or asshole, I suppose, depending on how you RP them ) and then we have an MP character who is 100% not our SP character. That the MP character has always been pre-set is irrelevant - it's just simply always been someone else, so the thought of being able to better customize that someone else to make them more your own is appealing. Like the concept of taking my beloved Turian Sentinel, but maybe I make him a lady Turian instead, and I switch out his armor with more choice than just re-coloring it, and maybe I have a small arsenal of powers and skills to choose from so I swap out and experiment with different combos. She's still a Turian Sentinel, but now she is MY Turian Sentinel. To reveal full bias, I have also never played a game where the MP character was your SP character, so I have no real concept of how that works in practice. And also given how every DA protagonist thus far has been uniquely "special", the feeling of running into other people's protags just seems so jarringly strange. Like, take you right out of the fantasy of the game level of strange. I'm envisioning a 4-person squad and we're all The Inquisitor or we're all Hawkes or we're all The Warden and that just puts me off so badly I can't properly form words. YOUR SP protag is no longer your special self-extension (or your special RP character) but just one of the MP crowd and my brain goes REEEEEEEEEEEE at that scenario. Now, maybe that seems strange when I enjoy the hell out of Elder Scrolls Online, in which every single one of us running around is The Vestige. But that only works because the entire game is an MMO. I realize the other player characters I run across are also The Vestige, in their own personal narrative, but I can easily just view them as other characters inhabiting this world. If ESO had a deep and involved SP wherein my Vestige makes friends with my squadmates, maybe even loves one of them, and saves the world from whatever... and then I had to go and run around the online world with all the other Vestiges who did that, it would be weird and off-putting. To me, you either have a deep and involved SP story with a separate-but-equal sort of MP... or you have 100% an MMO. Crossing the streams doesn't feel like a good thing, but maybe that's also because I haven't seen/played an example of how that works in a positive fashion.

I've got tons of pics of my javs but when I try share any pic it won't let me share an image, always asks for a link. I'm on my phone btw. Yes, you have to upload your pics to an image-hosting site, such as imgur, and paste the link here.
