...but not having internet access for 4 days was hell in a first world issues way. It is my tether to the world, especially when Gary is out-of-town for weeks (like now). Thankfully, I had some very long stories sitting in my To Read folder, so new McSheppiness kept me from complete despair.

Now, I need to quickly make some icons and then see how much I've missed in my games!

PS. To see why no internet, Rochester Windstorm of 2017. At least I kept my power and didn't lose any of my trees.

Lack of Internet is bad. Lack of power would have been awful. Glad you are back up.

What sort of games do you play? (Because I also play many online games.)

I play MMORPGs (think world of Warcraft but better).

DC Univese Online: Comic books come alive with missions in Gotham and Metropolis

Skyforge: Russian programmers built an immortal world with myriad races that attack in waves

My latest obsession is Revelation Online: Chinese programmers built an anime world with characters earning fantastical wings, mounts and costumes.

I also play SimCity BuildIt on my phone. That one I played a little bit while the internet was down, but I needed to make sure I didn't go over my data limit.

A friend of mine mentioned he plays Skyforge, and others I can't recall.

I mostly play boardgames online with others on sites such as yucata.de and Boiteajeux. It's great to play with friends and family in other states.

I'll have to look into the Sim City app. It's been YEARS since I did the first Sim City.

I'm actually the only woman in a league started in DC Universe. I log onto Teamspeak and we chat while we play whatever game we like at that moment. When Gary is around he joins us and we play with a core group ranging from 18 to 55 years old. Gary and I are the ancient ones. LOL

Forgot to mention the league has member in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Phillipines, and across the US. Great fun!
