I been busy!

Doing stuff!

and things!

And doing more stuff and things!

Also, i always do that, so now to figure out what brasilia time is so i can get super super close to that time.

No problem with stuff and things. Issue lies with that policy at the end. Contests more fun if scores are being put up throughout rather than all action coming in last 5 min. I get its less strategic, but its an NES competition. Fun > strategery

What? So for 6 months of the year the time is different there than all the surrounding states? And your tv programming is an hour off for your time zone? Sounds ridiculous 

sounds amazing actually.  I would rather not do it because I grew up not doing it

We are right on the border surrounded by both time zones here in indiana so it was a change either way on tv programming.

More and more countries around the world are stopping DST on account of, you know, the fact that it's completely and utterly pointless and just makes hundreds of millions of people change their clocks and sleeping habits for no good reason...

We just had a public vote on it a month ago and DST won by 50.1% to 49.9%, so it's only a matter of time before I don't have to do that twice-a-year bullshit ritual where I live... 🙂

Yeah, its already getting dark here at like 4:30. I dont need it to be 3:30 and dark 

Wait a minute. I have it backward. It would get dark at 5:30. I totally reverse my position. Screw DST!

It's point is to provide earlier daylight so that as the year grows colder and darker, THIS GUY will be more likely to get up and dutifully report to...   work, instead of pulling an "Office Space" and deciding: Fuck My Stupid Boss.  From Now On I'm My Own Boss.  (starts new employment by rolling over for a few more winks) 😉

Played 12 hours that day. Still cracking me up 

Since I knew ahead of time that I might not get a chance to play during the week, I didn't have much of a choice. At least I should have a solid path worked out for the overhead section so my attempts take less time.

@JeevanI ultimately agreed with you on DST and still get an angry emoji? You drinking early with all that time off work?

you said you changed your mind, i thought it was because you wanted it again.  Also, haven't drank yet since I have been off.  Still got stuff to do as you could see in my previous post 😉

I need to find a way to play your turkey game and try to win a gift card. I use them to buy my dog boxes of fortune cookies which are his favorite treat for some reason. He goes nuts for the things!

just do what @MegaMan52 did if you can't figure it out by downloading the player for new grounds.  I would assume it would work that way too.
