Re: Let's get it done
I know 10 years is an eternity in the hardware world, but this still blows my mind. I'm currently putting up more points in 36 hours than I did in 3 solid years, 2007-2010.

Pandemic Playtime: Boardgames evening
I've added an online boardgames evening this Friday (before Jackbox). It's a bit earlier than some other events (because I'm in Germany) but if you can make it we'll be playing games on boardgamearena.com and voice chatting on Discord. (specific games to play will be decided in the moment, but you can see the wide selections of games on the site.)

Re: Let's get it done
OK, I added some more again ... can do ~4M PPD, but this is likely my max. It's everything at home and any worthwhile spare hardware at the office.

Let's Wine about lockdown.
So, to deal with being stuck inside I have begun expanding my pallet. Found a decent wine, Back Home Again Red Wine. Very light as red goes, sweet but not oppressively so, and under twenty bucks. Overall would recommend. Anyway go go gadget wine thread.
Re: Let's Wine about lockdown.
Yesterday I opened and thoroughly enjoyed the last 1961 Château Brane-Cantenac from my collection. It was absolutely devine even though it was probably just past its peak. There was the typical Margaux velvety glove as well as rich ripe fruit from the nose all the way through to the finish. This was definitely an almost perfect time to enjoy this jewel as I know it was just going to diminish from this point on. Brane-Cantenac is also the first Bordeaux I ever purchased as a 1971 vintage back many years ago when I first got serious about wine.

Pandemic Playtime: The Icrontic Grand Prix
Get your wheels, controllers and keyboards prepped. Radio your pit crew. Icrontic is going racing this Wednesday, April 22nd at 8pm ET (7CT 6PT) with RaceRoom Racing Experience.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/211500/RaceRoom_Racing_Experience/
It's a free racing simulator that's welcoming to all levels of players, even those new to racing sims. No special equipment is needed just show up and blast around a few tracks with us.
Each race track will have a 10 minute practice round, 5 minutes to get in a qualifying lap and a 20 minute race. We have 4 tracks to play on and a few car choices. Everyone will be racing in a similar car to keep things fair. The game itself has all kinds of driving assistance built-in so you can talor the racing to your level and I have the server set to allow user choice of driving aids.
The game itself is fairly large so if you plan of participation (40gb) and I would recommend downloading it in advance. I'll update this thread (and discord) with the server information tomorrow.

Re: Expo Icrontic 2020 is cancelled
After multiple support tickets and ridiculous wait times, we successfully withdrew the GoFundMe proceeds safely to our bank account. Thanks very much again to everyone that contributed.
