Don't blame Tom Brady and his sort for what - insert self aggrandising politician of choice but you can guess mine- has done and now wants us all to totally forget because he/she/they have been found out but refuse to take the blame for their actions.

Sorry I don't know who Tom Brady is. I thought you were talking about Wayne Rooney. I used to know who he was.

I'm with you @ianpspurs i was looking for the translation rating .

Actually back in 1981 I had my own computer software business writing accounts, stock control, payrolls and production control systems for computer companies Digital Equipment, Olivetti, Data General and many commercial businesses, I employed 5 programmers including myself and we were very busy. One of the younger programmers approached me one day and said why don't we branch out into games software? My answer was no money in that we will stick with commercial software :banghead: one of my many wrong decisions in life :joyful:

Ok I resisted the urge long enough ;)

Destiny 2 is a 'massively multiplayer online role-playing game' or MMORPG for short. There are two 'forms' of players, actual players like me and non-player characters (NPC) that are computer-generated. Destiny 2 breaks down into two forms -
  • Player versus player (PVP) what it says on the tin, all contests are between real people
  • Player versus environment (PVE) is a real player versus computer reality.
I prefer PVE because I don't like 'killing' real people, I find it weird. Also, the game has a range of stories (conquests, discovery etc) that you can take part in to win advancement in rank (those numbers we spoke of 960,840,900), new skills, weapons and upgrades.

It all takes place over several simulated planets that have been invaded by certain types of aliens. In the game, you can choose to 'design' your character within limits. I chose a female Hunter who comes with a wide skill set that I can change for each encounter. The other base forms are Warlock and Titan. Titan is a brute force character, Warlocks fly around like fairies :)

Because the game is social at its core you have clans created by players. You can join a clan that has the same values as you do, form a new one with friends, or play alone. Clans are competitive by nature and will generally indulge in PvP. This video is a starter, well... you asked for it! :bag::)

Hopefully I will be able to emulate you as well. After all the grocery store is right next door and there were still plenty of Pop Tarts on the shelf when I was there!
I must go back on Thursday to pick up test strips and lancets. My food stamps will have been refilled by then too ...
Hopefully my will power will be renewed as well! :)

And now for something completely different ...

Late last night, just after I had gone to bed, I heard a voice in my apartment!?! I had turned off the TV and my phone had not turned itself on ... WHAT???!!!
I followed the voice across the apartment to the ceiling speaker to hear a disembodied (but as least clear) male voice saying Ladies and gentlemen an alarm has gone off in the building. Please stand by near your speakers.

What on earth???!!!??? Back before they re-did the fire alarm system the voice would say "A fire emergency has been reported in the building. Please stand by and await further instructions."

But this did not say "Fire" so there I was, in my pajamas, standing under the speaker, wondering if the Martians had landed on the roof, the President had helicoptered in for a briefing, or a horde of coronavirus-infected invaders had breached the security doors and were even now breathing and sneezing throughout the corridors.

Finally I came to my senses, went very slowly and outwardly calmly back to the bed and reached out for teh KittenCat just as she realized I was inwardly stressed and tried to elude my grasp.
But I got her and crated her.

Next thing I know:
"A FIRE HAS BEEN REPORTED ON YOUR FLOOR. GO TO THE NEAREST STAIRWELL AND EXIT THE BUILDING."

WHAT???!!!??? NO fire alarm has gone off, and always before the announcement has been to Stand By And Await Further Instructions.
So I scrambled into sweatpants, a jacket, shoes, grabbed my keys and the KittenCat, and went out into the corridor, only to find absolutely none of my neighbors running towards the stairwell. No smoke. No smell of burning. No heat.

So I called down to the lobby desk, where, thankfully, the security guard, being new, was actually at his post and answered the phone and said he didn't know what the heck was going on other than 3 apartments had sprung leaks. At least that's what I thought he said, because by now my neighbors had come out into the corridor and one was asking me if there was a fire -- like I knew, right? -- and I couldn't hear the guard, and the neighbors who don't understand or speak English were asking what was going on (at least I assumed they were, I don't speak their languages either).

Then the security guard appeared out of the stairwell -- not even out of breath after climbing all those stairs! -- and another neighbor is so loudly telling him what he "should" be doing that she can't hear him trying to explain that he is TRYING to find out what the heck is going on.

Then he went back downstairs, we all went back into our apartments, I put the KittenCat, still in her crate, on the sofa beside me and told her I would release her as soon as I heard the All Clear. She replied Meow MEOW meow.
Never got the All Clear but never heard any fire engine sirens so figured it was a false alarm like all the others that occasionally occur. Made note to self to tell staff on Monday that they need to inform us of the new announcement and to not PANIC when we hear it; made follow-up note to self to not bother as staff would not act upon it. ...
Eventually fell asleep, in pajamas, in bed, with KittenCat released from her crate and outwardly none the worse for the experience.

Sigh.

Hugs for all that weirdness @SaskiaKC
Hope you chill out a bit today.

I couldn’t sleep last night. In bed awake. Popeye knew I was stressed so he sat all night looking at my face and put his hands round my paw...

KittenCat will take care of you.

Thank you for your offer of help. As soon as I moved from my tablet to my PC I realised that I could copy the emoji on my PC but not on my tablet.

This was the emoji I really loved and will now be able to use. View attachment 39434

Yay! I'm glad it worked.
I hope to join @gennepher and you if you take her up on her offer to walk you through the phone/tablet way to do it. :)

All morning she has been calling me away from the computer to join her on the bed. Last time I did, she was being Thumper and when I attacked her hind leg she attacked my hand.
So now I am going to log off here and play with her.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone. :)

May I join the walk-through when you do it please? I've been trying and trying to follow the instructions on the emojis site on my phone but it isn't working for me.

Yes. You have Android don’t you @SaskiaKC
I am tired today and just chilling out now. My head isn’t quite together today. I haven’t had much sleep at all last night. Remind me tomorrow. If it doesn’t work one way then there is a different way to do it.
 
@SaskiaKC just catching up on the thread and I cant believe the disturbing night you and the KC had. Gosh that must have been scary and then tedious. Thank goodness you and the KC weren't evacuated. I bet you are tired today, hope you can have a gentle day.

Thank you for the offer of help but my tablet is a really basic Android Kindle Fire and there seems to be absolutely no way to copy the emoji.

Okay, I know absolutely nothing about the Kindle Fire. But, the Emojis on the smile site give an option to download. If it is possible to download the emoji, then within the docs app there is local storage where you should find the emoji. Then I am assuming that when you want the emoji for this site, you press upload a file and you should find it in local storage.
But I know nothing about the Kindle Fire.
