Gotcha that makes sense. Cuz like if I’m in party of four, I have to wonder how many other parties of four there are at the same time.

I have to imagine the vast majority of players are solos or duos. Yet our party queue times never seem unusually long

Thanks!

Question for #Deadlock players: If my friends and I are a party of four, do we get matched against another party of four (with two "random" players assigned to each side to round out the 6v6)? Also, could be party of three or even two. Curious how party matchmaking works

So been using my new Keychron V6 Max with red linear switches for last several days. And it’s amazing!

So much better than my various Logitech, SteelSeries, and HyperX keyboards.

Buttery smooth presses. But for gaming, having to get used to larger gaps between keys

45min DF queue for #FFXIV Alliance Raid "San d'Oria: The Second Walk." The most recent AR, though it has been out for several months.

In raid, I asked party how long they waited. Some said they queued for 2hrs!

What is going on with this game...?

I know this region isn’t that used to tornadoes, but as someone who came from the Midwest and dealt with many tornado watches yearly (luckily fewer warnings), I was very surprised at the pre-response. Tornado touchdowns are so hard to predict.

Info is important. But panic seemed to rule the day.

Feels like a hurricane is passing through DC right now. Except it’s gotten really cold.

With today’s tornado warnings, sometimes feels like I never even left the Midwest.

I know we're only two races in, but I feel like if Red Bull doesn't get things figured out soon, Max is just gonna retire at the summer break

7 cars DNF at Lap 48/56 at #ChineseGP. 4 of them were DNS (it's always DNS....sorry, IT joke).

We've been spoiled over the years when it comes to reliability.

Took yesterday day off since the Monday after DST start sucks. But also intentionally “crashed” my sleep schedule over the weekend. At one point, was up for like 20hrs. I think I did it. Reset my sleep schedule for DST. Woke up NP today. Not a bit tired.

Now let’s see if it lasts.

That was 4th game I've completed this year. Not a bad start to 2026!

My goal is to finish "Trails to Azure" by end of summer, then start a replay of "Trails of Cold Steel." I finished that one years ago on the PS Vita, then started "Cold Steel II," but never finished it.

Finally finished The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero! Solid game; liked it much more than the first three games in the "Liberl Arc" (Trails in the Sky). Onward to the second entry in the "Crossbell Arc:" Trails to Azure!

And some of the dialog in #Danganropna V3 is absolutely ridiculous and over the top. Not in a good way.

And why is there so much incest in this game?? Tf?

Finished #Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. Started it 2.5yrs ago.

Def weakest game in main series. Took a break bc I couldn't stand the characters, but wanted to see if there was a reason they were bad. There wasn't.

And the ending sucked. I hate meta endings like that. Not clever.

Special Weather Statement

Effective Dec 30, 2025 at 1:41 PMExpires at Dec 30, 2025 at 10:00 PM

There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the Wednesday morning commute. A period of light snow is POSSIBLE (a 30 percent chance) Wednesday morning across the Baltimore / Washington metro areas as well as northeast and southern Maryland, with a light coating of snow accumulation possible on area roads.

If this threat does materialize during the Wednesday morning rush-hour, many roads could quickly turn icy. This could lead to dangerous traveling conditions, multiple accidents, and extensive delays.

If commuting Wednesday morning, be aware of the POSSIBILITY of significant travel disruptions. Plan ahead by allowing for extra travel time, and consider using public transportation and telework options.

Stay tuned for updates on this potential winter weather episode.

#DC is funny. 30% chance light snow tomorrow morning before rush hour.

<1in of snow is nothing (to this Plains Midwest native). Idk. This isn’t ATL or other southern cities where it almost never snows. It snows here yearly. So why is so little snow such a problem? 🤔

Pretty boring Sprint Race. At least Oscar maintained his position and was able to close the gap to Lando a little bit more.

Playing Eastward. And this just got really creepy and dark-feeling. Stumbled onto some kinda robot-controlled human breeding center? Like The Matrix…

Idk but let’s see where this goes.

Really enjoying the game so far though!

Classic Max win. Was that 20sec ahead of Norris in P2? I know Norris and Russell had car issues, but it's still fun to see "traditions."

Also, Max has 69 wins? Nice.

I feel like the Nier raids are the first time most players really come across some difficult mechanics. There are some in the Ivalice ARs, but Nier? Basically the whole thing. Think I ran each Nier raid 20x before I stopped dying. It still happens here and there, but those are outliers now.

This is like my 2nd or 3rd time starting Final Fantasy Tactics -- though still haven't finished a playthrough.

But this scene always hits hard.

FFT is great. But I think "Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together" (or its remaster "Reborn") is just slightly better. But it doesn't get nearly as much of a look.

If you haven't played it, highly recommend giving it a try after FFT!

Well that was a fun start to League Worlds. T1 murdered their way into the Swiss Stage.

I barely know what's going on in matches. I don't play League.

But it's not hard to see that T1's teamplay is insane.

Chrono Cross Opening/Intro HD - Scars of Time (high quality)

Somehow, never played Chrono Cross...until today.

But I'm very familiar with the Chrono Cross main theme, "Scars of Time." Used to trawl the 'net and OCRemix for VG music, even games I hadn't played, back in the day. That said, I'd forgotten how good it is.
