Having kids just so you can force them to take care of you later in life is such a selfish thought.

They'll probably stop caring about you if that's your attitude towards them.

I replayed this on stream a few years back, was having fun until I hit the final boss.

Sure didn't enjoy my party going from full health to dead between commands. I stopped after that.

It's unfortunately changed my opinion of the game, soured me a bit.

Trying to stay up later due to the time change.

No, not DST.

The flight out west to Vegas in a couple of days, which is directly opposite of the DST time change.

My body is not going to be happy.

Highguard already shutting down is wild. Getting 2M to try, over 90% got through the tutorial, apparently it's numbers were on par with Apex Legends on launch (and that's considered successful), and it got left to dry? Geez.

Not thrilled with the pricing for Detroit SportsNet, the new home of Red Wings and Tigers video broadcasts. It's the same price as the old system, no guarantee that the Pistons come over either. I didn't like the price with the Pistons and this is less product.

Regime change via abduction is not acceptable.

Regime change via murder is not acceptable.

History has shown that destabilization of countries has been a terrible decision long term.

Describe your sub-hobby...

I glue plastic and resin pieces together and paint them.

Someday I might get to play with them.

Paging @tableflipsyou.bsky.social for the picture of the Monopoly Token Advent Calendar in the article. That and the Monopoly Deal No Mercy edition.

Started painting my Celestian Insidiants Kill Team. First pic was my Warrior test. Made some changes which get reflected in the Cremator. Hope to work on the rest during the week.

Right now I use a HyperX QuadCast USB microphone. It's not a full headset, tho. I do like it quite a bit.

I hope you'll get access to a therapist to help deal with your emotions and other baggage due to this. It's not a burden you should bear on your own, getting emotional help to do so will help process all of what happened.

Many of us are still supporting you.

A giant version of Kerplunk set up in an indoor room. Balls are in a cylinder sitting on top of sticks going through the cylinder.

A giant version of Kerplunk partially played in an indoor room. Balls are in a cylinder sitting on top of sticks going through the cylinder. Some sticks and balls are on the floor.

NBC can't even do the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics live right. Friends in Europe get things live and we get US commercials.

Capitalism is not the Olympic Spirit.

In terms of game play, yeah. Telly Time gets some mechanical changes. There's been some separation in Moguls and Executives into modules.

There is slimming of the card decks. So Over The Air isn't there, Executives doesn't introduce a new show deck. Telly Time does add new shows, tho.

Watching an interview about Dreadball All Stars from @manticgames.bsky.social and this sounds like a great fit for The Brothers Murph to cover as board gamers. Nick paints minis and really wanted to try Blood Bowl. This seems like a great launching point into this style of game.

My dad's parents wanted me to be the III of the lineage, so named after my dad and grandfather.

My mom refused for me to be called "the turd" or "junior". I'm thankful for that.

Any company that lets me opt out of Valentine's advertising will get more of my business.

I don't want to see it. It's a real downer for some of us.

Yeah. It did say at the bottom that the parent company of Shout purchased MST3K from Joel's company Alternaversal. So it makes sense to be a complete 180 in strategy by a completely different group.
