Not that you asked, but my advice is to shoot your shots wherever you find them. If the odds are bad either way, might as well aim for the jobs that will keep you sane and make things better for yourself and others.

You’re not weak. It’s genuinely a dehumanizing, exhausting experience that seems to get worse year after year. I’m barely in my 30s, I’ve been laid off twice and had to relocate once. Each search was worse than the last.

I hope they can rebuild. GI was a major pillar of game news for so long.

Eh, Tasha’s was a mixed bag in terms of utility, but I’ve used every section in Xan’s at least once.

There is a gospel passage about how much will be expected of those whom have been given much. I’ve always heard this interpreted as how church leaders will be judged harshly in the afterlife. I wish this and hell were true, just for the sheer shock and disbelief of all the hypocritical religious leaders who’ve done so many terrible things and continued to preach hate.

I’m generally not a “both sides” person, but if anything has become obvious in the last several months/years, the majority of establishment Dems are just as bad when it comes to holding onto power. RBG, Feinstein, Pelosi, Biden. MAGA has been cultivating their next generations, and now the Dems seem convinced they need to move right despite seemingly everything and everyone telling them they abandoned the working class and the economy sucks regardless of the stock market.

I have the soundcore liberty 4, and I also really like it. Way better than the raycons I had.

Beast Wars is my GOAT Transformer series. I figured it was nostalgia, but I rewatched during the pandemic and it honestly held up better than I remember. Even the weird early digital animation is impressive in context. So many interesting characters and motivations, too. And the sweetest extra on top is Megatron’s dialogue. Yeeeeess!

I prefer 2 to 1, primarily because the choices are not as blatantly good/evil and it feels like they have more impact. I also think the character creation and items are more fleshed out. Just a shame it didn’t get the polish it deserved at launch. 1 definitely feels more “Star Wars”-y, though.

Shelton Benjamin and Lashley are both free agents right now. Not to mention Hobbes would be a great addition.

Between this report and him trying to claim the series got confused about kayfabe yesterday, it’s gotta get nasty. I’ve already read a lot from various books, so I’m curious how much new info they have.

Holy shit

“I’ll take “Least Surprising Revelations” for $1000, Alex.” Can’t imagine what was being piped directly into his ears for years.

The pop would be earth-shattering. And damn, have I missed her music.

If that’s how he feels, glad for him. It is true in a lot of respects. I think my view is that they pushed an unpopular star, but then refused to give him the tools to increase his popularity. Disappointing, boring matches, bland foreign heel gimmick. Just cheap heat that went nowhere. In short, the same problem with a lot of Vince’s WWE: settling for fine and appeasing Vince when they could’ve tried something new and it could’ve been great.

That’s a bummer. He was going wild and I think he added a lot to the match. Hopefully it is minor and he just needs a bit of time

That’s a wild question, cause for me and most of the people I know, a fantasy version of myself with double my income would mean not worrying about groceries, maybe a short trip out of the country once a year, being able to pay off debts, and affording some medical procedures that we’ve been putting off. Maybe saving some money so my kid isn’t homeless in a few decades. Not some life of leisure.

To answer your question, though, it would be categorically worse.

Very excited for the MI GQP to rip itself apart as the face-eating leopards get hungry for internal enemies.

Friendly reminder that you don’t need to buy WotC/Hasbro products to play 5e. The 5e publishing ecosystem is pretty strong and there are lots of options so that you don’t have to get rid of your old books. Level Up Advanced 5e has free PDFs online of their whole books, but the books are fantastic quality. Tales of the Valiant is coming soon, and there is a huge catalog of Kobold Press content before that. And then there are hundreds of smaller presses that also support the ruleset. I haven’t gotten any WotC products in years even before the OGL, mainly because quality seemed to be taking a turn, but there is still great content out there.

I haven’t purchased (yet) but that’s exactly why it caught my attention and it seems to be the way they wanted to be seen.
