#Games #Solitaire

Mother in-law loves to play Solitaire against other people. She used to do this on Facebook, but for reasons I can't figure, the games do not load on Chromium any more.

Does anyone have a link to a good community of online card games ?

(Or even a clue on how to fix the Facebook games thing?)

(Searching this subject is just toxic!)

Welcome to another edition of #SarlaccPit, the #StarWars-themed word game.

We’re looking for a quote with 10 words of 4, 4, 8, 6, 4, 3, 4, 2, 3 & 6 letters, respectively. We’ll start with a freebie: There are 6 Es.

_ _ _ E / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ E _ _ _ /
_ _ _ _ E _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ E / _ _ _ E /
_ _ / _ _ E / _ _ _ _ _ _

There are no wrong guesses yet.

This is the 1st poll & will run for 24 hours.

All are welcome to vote and guess at any time. Others may appreciate a CW when you guess.

One user hosts by choosing a word or phrase from #StarWars & then runs polls with choices of letters. The winner of each poll is used as a collective guess from those playing. The results are revealed & then a new poll is run until someone guesses the result. Suppose the host chooses “The Force” as the answer to the puzzle. The puzzle would initially start as: _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ Choices might be: A as in Alderaan E as in Endor O as in Onderon U as in Utapau If E wins the poll, the result would be: _ _ E / _ _ _ _ E Then a new poll would run. This repeats until someone guesses. Then that person runs the next puzzle. 1/3

I'm looking for PC games that involve a lot of exploration and discovery.

Hollow Knight is awesome, but too difficult for me (also, with cheats I have already completed it)

Slime Rancher was fun, but the whole "One person has been everywhere already and left you messages" was meh.

Outer Wilds might have been what I'm looking for, except I saw a bunch of it played so a lot of the discoveries are spoiled for me.

Does anything come to mind?

I have spare GOG codes to give away for the following three PC games:

Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Director's Cut

Saints Row: The Third, Remastered

Dark Deity: Complete Edition

Are you a good person who wants to play one or more of these games? Reply to this post, and I'll send the code to you in a direct message. First I will look at your post history to make sure you're not evil, of course.

Hey everyone :mew_wave: take a listen to another book reading from within the Elder Scrolls world, this time from Skyrim on the topic of the ever-elusive Nightingales :shiba_love:

Unlike the first two reading videos (which were clips taken from recent live streams), today, I decided to see how recording it from scratch would feel. I went through the text of the book itself to weed out various errors, recorded it in a way that minimised recording errors, and then further added a little treatment to clean up the audio :cat_wow:

[Nightingales: Fact or Fiction?]

If you'd like to help keep food on my table, monthly donations on kofi are especially helpful :espeon_love:

I'd love to hear what you like or dislike about the book readings so far as well as any ideas you might have :bugcat_nod:

After all these years, I have finally completed Borderlands 3.

The reason I didn't ever complete it or really play it was, because when I bought it when it was released, I was having GPU issues with a previous PC I had.

I eventually replaced the AMD card with an Nvidia card and never had any issues afterwards, but never went back to play Borderlands 3.

I finally decided to pick it up again due to Borderlands 4 coming out later this year. When I started, I was only on level 10 and somewhere around Chapter 7. I completed all 23 chapters and ended up at level 37.

Fun game and I can't wait until the next one later this year.

Not sure yet if I'll do any of the Mayhem Mode stuff or not.
