Gotta get the kids all in on thinking they need things they don't actually need early.

I have heard good things. I have also heard I should at least play 7 & 8 first, for the story. Would love an opinion on that. I have never been an RE person, but am looking for a new single player game to fiddle with.

I remember him pounding Clinton on her being a hawk 10 years ago while saying he would never start any wars.

I see what you did there.

I have actually gotten to be a player for once, because one of my regulars was champing at the bit to run the Fallout RPG, and it has been a blast so far.

I hadn't seen the latest news before I saw this post, and thought "This doesn't narrow it down," and it sucks to live in that world.

Socialize the risk, keep the profit private, the American way.

I rather enjoyed the show's willingness to be as absurd as heck without shame.

It is 100% part and parcel of their "We do what we want, and you can't stop us" mentality.

I know I have some moots who are fellow Star Trek enjoyers. Ms. Duane's _Spock's World_ rewired the ST neurons in my brain back in the day.

Who plays Magic for fun? 🤣

It also works for Star Control II, if you are an enjoyer of classic PC gaming.

I think it's doing well, but I don't really have my ear to the ground on that front.

Young woman discovers Brian Kibler is a smoke show.

Young woman discovers Brian Kibler is a smoke show.

Saw this in the wild, and it's very funny for a select group of people I know. Tagging @michaelchu7.bsky.social for value.

What a kiss ass, but I suppose you could argue he knows his audience (of one).

JK Rowling, for sure. I want to say Neil Gaiman, but that's more for being a shitty person who (at best) did not live the values he espoused rather than someone who squandered their good will just by talking and/or associating with shitbags, so I am not sure it's the same thing as the others?

All she had to do was say nothing, and the Millennial generation would still love her.

Seeing "Creeping Death" live as a teen rewired my brain.

It was a spectacular own goal, probably top 1% of all time.

They made that very claim about Trump. And frankly, someone that wealthy doesn't need to be bought; he's already on their side.

"Graspy little dork" is a beautifully succinct capture of his essence.

The first time I had real wasabi, ground fresh at my table, after tasting it I turned to my wife and said, "I've been lied to my whole life." I guess next time I am somewhere I can get real, fresh mango I will have to try it.

TMW your whataboutism blows up in your face.

Celebrate, dread, basically the same thing. 😂 Though I am kicking off with a 4-for-6, which isn't bad, but I may still lose because my defense might be bad.

Leviathans are real, and too many of us don't appreciate that.

A little homage to Spaghetti Westerns during the closing ceremony is a nice touch.

Until they got jobs and spouses and such, I avoided all my kids' social media stuff because sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
