Today I realized I don't even have the friends I made in college anymore.

Had a hard "where the hell did my school-friends go" realization 3 or so weeks ago.

Was sitting in a tram with my sister and a girl sat down two rows away on a seat facing us. I turn to my sis and ask her if its only me being confused again, or if that girl really looks exactly like somebody I was good friends with back in school (using the first name of my classmate). Sis says sure, they could be twins actually.
Girl has apparently heard us and sits down on the nearest seat facing us, gives us the full name of my old classmate. Turned out my old friend is her mum, and that she's 16.

We finished school in 2002, for her to have a 16 year old daughter that I never even heard about means that I've lost contact with her basically the day we graduated. Which I apparently did, no matter how hard I try I can't come up with a single time I've seen her since.
That, in turn, made me realize that I have not seen, or even spoken to any of my old classmates (with 2 exceptions) since we graduated. We all basically went from spending school and most of our free time together to total silence in a single day. Kinda funny how easy it is to "forget" people.
Realizing that actually made me depressed for days.

Question: regarding that massive influx of Middle Easterners that happened a while back into all of Europe, has there sprung up overnight a lot of "Authentic Middle Eastern Food" kinda restaurants?

Not really in germany. Maybe because we've always had a lot of turkish people living here, so there have always been various turkish/arabic restaurants everywhere anyways.
Might be different out in the boonies, but in the cities I've spent much time in it has always been that way.

The Wizards for VR.
You best way to feel wizardy is by throwing fireballs and lightning by actually throwing fireballs and lightning.

I'm looking for an old Windows 95/98 era party based first person RPG (like the old Might&Magic, Wizardry or Bards Tale games).
It had a pretty grimdark setting, I think almost Fantasy Warhammer-esque levels of everything-is-screwed.

If I remember correctly the intro showed some fort in a valley getting sieged by monsters and very early (10 minutes into the game or so) there was a door that only opened if you anserwed some riddles (the answers were "a shadow" and/or "a man" I think).


Its neither Stonekeep nor Anvil of Dawn, I still have both of them (though they're similar)

New one is up.

I love this community, there is always somebody ready to go full on mad scientist at the drop of a hat.

Finally got my first SS rank today (92.7% accuracy). Song was Feel Invincible by Skillet on expert difficulty.
Why in the die thread? Today was patchday and high score uploads for custom songs don't work 

Dying inside is still dying

So far I love the new map, but the difficulty is kinda ridiculous even for Ark.
My very first spawn I died almost before my character finished the "look at you wrist" animation he does at respawn. My character literally got up from the ground and as he raised his head to look at his hand there was already a level 50 carno charging in his face (which one-shotted me after the animation ended).

In the 4 or so hours I've played so far I have seen at least two dozen different carnos and about 10 T-Rex(es?) in the easiest part of the map and there are ants everywhere. Lots of running away and hiding, and good luck taming anything that takes longer then 15 minutes without a friend to distract hostile wildlife.

One good thing about all those big bad dinos though, they really like to get into fights with the security robots and they don't always win.
So much prime meat.
