Yeah, I'm in.

To get the sparrow: Visit Amanda Holiday in the hangar. That's it, no level 20 or completing the campaign. I wish it told you that stuff, or made it more obvious. She also sells (for glimmer/free) 3 campaigns, I don't know how that works, what the missions we've been playing are for or what's the deal with that, maybe something to look into? Don't know if it'll reset quest progress or if the current missions are just meant to be a quick introduction and then you buy the campaigns. Also, bought a new ship, and then got a better one from an eververse engram I had.

How many people can a fireteam have? I remember being capped at 3, don't know if they've changed that since. Side note, how was my mic audio? First time using the headset mic, usually have a separate one, but it gets in the way with my current setup.

Discord could work, doesn't Steam also have something built-in?

IIRC you have to play up to a certain mission before you can join others. Mind you this was back in Season 1(?) or whenever it became free-to-play. My other headset is toast, and the phone ones I have have crappy audio and even worse mics.

Destiny on PC works for me. Fortnite too, though I hope the Switch supports USB headsets.

Yup, that's 12:30 here. That works for me. What are we playing? Just so I have everything up to date and stuff.

\m/ \m/

Whenever I have to wake up to go to the bathroom, my brain decides the best way to get me up is to scare the crap out of me. Last night I was woken up by this weird dream/nightmare, where Steam was having this Halloween event that made it so that regardless of what game you were playing, there was a chance for it to suddenly turn into a horror game. OK, whatever, I start playing something, don't know what it was, just that, as soon as it launches, I'm in this courtyard, with a large fountain in the centre and dilapidated buildings around. The whole place is dimly lit, though I could see no source of light. Directly opposite of me there was this... Shadow, not humanoid and not a monster, just a weird shadow blob just there. For some reason that was enough, I immediately felt this sense of dread and fear, not like a jumpscare just outright cold sweat and shivers kind of fear the kind that makes it hard to even breathe, it was super unpleasant, the only thing I could compare it to was during the September earthquake or that time I almost got run over by a car, even then, this felt worse. So I did what I do best, close the game and walk away. That's when I woke up and went "alright, I get it!" got up, went to the bathroom and then took a while to get back to sleep because that unpleasant feeling still lingered. On the bright side, it gave me a cool idea for a short story (that I'm sure has already been done to death ).

I'm open any time after 11:30 am central (9:30 PT, 12:20 ET, 16:30 GMT/UTC,) , may be a bit later depending on morning work, but usually that works. Destiny 2 is fine by me, yesterday I learned that I'm if anyone knows how early on that is. Fortnite on Switch works, I also have Warzone on PS4, anything else goes, though I may have to download/update it depending on what it is.

First five mins, nurses and doctors from an IMSS hospital are saying they do not have enough resources to deal with the emergency, they've had to buy their own masks and other supplies with their own money. To bring attention to this, they requested journalists to cover what's going on. Apparently a cameraman was beaten by security guards from the hospital. Doctors in other hospitals have complained about the same thing, Gatell and the director of IMMS on the other hand, claim that there's more than enough supplies, that they've bought enough for every hospital. So.... Where's the stuff? Also, in the last week 5 doctors were murdered. Don't know if it's people that found out what was going on and tried to make it public, victims of those assholes that hate doctors because they "will infect us all" or something else (murders aren't uncommon here after all).

I now have Fornite installed, already launched it to make sure it was up to date. Don't know how voice works on Switch though. @TheMightyEthan Sure, let me know when, tonight I have to make/have dinner and update the game. Any other day works, just let me know times.

Yup, PC, I have to crank down some stuff, but it runs well enough. How big is it? I have the internal memory and a 16GB card (for now) would that be enough or do I need more space?

Define "actively" I played some Warzone before eternal consumed my soul, and I've been thinking about jumping back into Warframe. I want to get into Destiny, but I don't know if there are any new players here, or people who wouldn't mind joining for some early game stuff (unless that doesn't exist anymore, don't know how it works nowadays ).

Business owners in Tamaulipas have said they'll stop paying taxes until the government listens to them. Meanwhile, in Coita Chiapas... They're chasing werewolves. Really. People are saying they have seen/heard a werewolf around town, some have actually grabbed their guns and machetes and gone out at night hunting for the damn thing. Of course they ain't caught shit, but that won't stop them from trying night after night.

Started a playthrough of DOOM Eternal in extra life mode (you run out of lives you have to start the game all over again), close to the end now. Finally managed to get the mastery skin for the super shotgun! \m/ \m/ I thought I'd be able to replay older missions and just farm extra lives there, turns out, this mode prevents you from playing through mission select. I'm sure it warned me about it and I just missed it. Thinking about starting Code Vein afterwards.

DOOM Eternal Mister Jack has already said most of what needs to be said, I'd just like to add: Read the lore, it's METAL AS HELL. \m/ \m/ I've already mentioned the bug I ran into, where mastery weapon skins would not unlock, that's kind of annoying, but ultimately not something that prevents me from loving this game. Can't wait for the DLC. \m/ \m/

With this getting animated, the community is once again going over and over a certain character and their involvement in this stuff, and I can't help but feel I'm among the few that don't really feel the same way. Anyway, with Camelot getting a movie, Babylonia getting and anime and now this, I kinda hope we get something for the Epic of Remnant stuff.

He wouldn't last. First time he wen't against the president he'd be "asked" to leave. In other news, this is going to be a thing: https://heraldodemexico.com.mx/estados/jalisco-pacto-fiscal-federal-obras-en-el-pais-tren-maya-enrique-alfaro/ The governor of Jalisco has said they're considering leaving the Fiscal Pact, what this means is that Jalisco will no longer send what they get from IVA, IEPS, ISR, and other taxes to the federal government, everything will be kept in-state, depending on the reaction from the federal government, worst case scenario is: after several fines, closing of federal offices and more, Jalisco is no longer part of the republic (I mean, worst, WORST, WORST, ideally it should never make it that far). The kicker is, other states have said the same thing, including Nuevo Leon, which, together with Jalisco amounts for pretty much everything that's made and sold here, you name it, manufacturing, food, medicines, essentials, cleaning products, cosmetics, etc. Those two states alone handle so much of Mexico's production that losing them would pretty much be the end of it all. Of course, the plan is not to go that far, simply to get the president to negotiate, what these states want is less spending on stupid shit, more spending on things people actually need*. Nuevo Leon also asks for a better share of what the federal government gives states, given that they're amongst the ones who provide the most tax money while receiving relatively little in return. *Cancelling or postponing the new refinery, the new airport, the train thingy, and some other stuff in favour of more hospitals, maintenance and renewal of the electric grid, improving roads, etc. How this plays out is going to be interesting, under different leadership we'd have a president who would be willing to sit down and negotiate, reach a compromise of some sort and move on. With this guy, who knows how it'll go, here's hoping for the best though!

Reading about this OPEP stuff and man... This is going to be fun. Given how the president said that it was by his decree that fuel prices had gone down, I wonder what'll he say if/when they go back up? In response to the lack of help from the government, the chamber of commerce and the national banks association have decided to draft their own plan, they'll see what to do in response to the pandemic and the lack of support from the federal government. The president of the chamber of commerce called for the removal of the president in 2021, though as I've said, his party controls congress and the senate so that's unlikely to go through.

https://blog.us.playstation.com/2020/04/07/introducing-dualsense-the-new-wireless-game-controller-for-playstation-5/ PS5 controller, DualSense has been revealed, not a fan of the colour, or the fact that it has built-in microphones, but everything else looks cool.

That'd be my main concern as well, what happens if he dies? I don't know enough about politics over there to know how it'll go, just hope it all goes well, if it does come to that. From what I've seen on twitter and some other parts, not many are hiding his disdain for the dude, so, yeah, reap what you sow, just don't take everyone else down with you. Considering El Chapo's lawyer said the cartel has orders to ensure his safety while he's in their territory... The best bet we have is the 2021 election (assuming we make it that far ), if we can remove his party from the senate/congress then there's going to be a real opposition that could just say "no" every time he comes up with some dumb shit. Failing that, well... Who knows how that'll go, resentment and anger is welling up in certain parts, and if he continues this way there's no telling what'll happen, though the pessimist in me thinks we'll just have to endure the whole 6 years, and then try to rebuild from whatever's left after he's gone, IF he wants to go. We can only hope, though I'm sure people will find a way to justify their fantasy of it not being serious, given everything else they've ignored so far, not to mention conspiracy theorists are having a field day with this. As for your second point, who knows. This president has used the good old divide and conquer approach. Everyone that disagrees with him, regardless of background, social status, country of origin, whatever is a "conservative/neoliberal/fifi/member of the mafia of power" that wants to stop his fourth transformation from coming to fruition and therefore wants to destroy the country. His followers eat that shit like there's no tomorrow, and while he's at his lowest approval rate ever, that seems to have no effect on him and his policies, for that's neoliberal data from neoliberal methods (his words). His followers follow suit, completely ignoring the world around them and going after everyone that disagrees. Every president has been corrupt, every single one of them, many don't even try to hide it, but at least some of them did some good stuff here and there to somewhat balance things out, yeah build a house of 200 million and claim it was 500 million so your construction company can pocket the rest, who cares, you also built and renewed some hospitals, schools and roads. Yeah you keep that property bought with tax money, after all, you also created the emergency fund that's meant to keep the country afloat in times of crisis. If this guy did some good stuff no one would care about his pet projects and whatnot, but every "good" thing he does comes with so many strings attached, or with so many baggage or outright negative aspects that it's hard to just let it go. My parents lived through the Echeverria administration and the Salinas circus, and even they agree this guy is pushing it.

You'd think he'd have better access to doctors and other caretakers than most, so the fact that he's in ICU seems quite serious. Hoping for the best. Meanwhile, our president: "3 months ago, before any other government, we were already warning people, telling them to take the necessary precautions, and leaving things in the hands of experts". This dude apparently doesn't know that everything he says is well recorded and can be seen at any time. He insists we all must pay taxes, but that there will be no help for businesses or business owners of any kind, because they are the "neoliberal conservatives" that are to blame for everything. His "republican austerity" measures include: 65 Billion pesos to PEMEX a failing industry, the result of corruption and poor management. But hey, remember that renewable energies are "neoliberal conspiracies" and that only national oil can save us. PEMEX will also receive further support in the form of less taxes, less audits, less fiscal "pressure" the exact thing a corrupt behemoth needs. All grants for arts, sciences, film, culture, etc. Will be absorbed and used to pay for most of his plans. Credit loans to all government workers that go from $794 to $2200 (so... nothing basically, and you HAVE to pay them back). His pet projects, are not only bulletproof, according to him, they will receive increased funding: An 8 billion (that's dollars BTW) refinery that is expected to operate at less than 50% capacity and has destroyed a protected zone An airport that will be constructed inside a military base, because the one previous administrations were building (meant to be the biggest and most advanced in Latin America) is a "neoliberal project" this new one is being built by the army, and it's budget is protected due to it being a "matter of national security". The "Mayan Train" a train that will cross through the Yucatan jungle, an environmental disaster as it'll destroy a huge chunk of the jungle, not to mention the long term effects of a train just passing by (but hey, he has the blessing of mother earth, so it's alright!) In Oaxaca, a politician who is positive for the virus went to a hospital, demanded preferential treatment, and when they denied this, treating him like any other patient (this is a public hospital BTW) he began coughing and sneezing on doctors, nurses and surfaces of the hospital. He then left the place running. Also this: In Tamaulipas, the Cartel del Golfo is delivering food and other supplies to families. In Michoacan, Los Viagras do the same. Aaaaaannnnndddddd.... Just as I was writing this I learned that CANACEM has ordered all concrete plants to close down, because theirs is not an essential activity. Obviously this did not sit well with our glorious leader, who won't allow anyone to tell him his magnificent works are not necessary, so now, per official decree all concrete plants, steel mills and other construction workers and factories are to continue providing services EXCLUSIVELY to the Dos Bocas refinery, the Santa Lucia Airport, the Mayan Train and a handful of other projects that our magnificent, wise and blessed leader has deemed essential. Who needs hospitals, medical supplies, doctors, nurses, or safety when you have a brand new refinery! Right now I'm just hoping that if/when something happens I get isekai'd into the world of Monster Musume.

The closest thing is: Bringing back that stuff for the DLCs would be cool though.

Ran into a bug that's locked me out from getting any of the weapon mastery skins. I have the mods, the upgrades and the mastery stuff in the arsenal, but if I check the milestones those are still locked. Everything else has been fucking awesome so far. \m/ \m/
