    IN REMEMBRANCE--2026

    Adams was an... interesting... character to say the least. I really enjoyed Dilbert as I was growing up though. Between Dilbert and Office Space I always kind of romanticized working in a cube farm in a traditional office environment... Which is kind of odd considering both of those are about...

    Anticipatory Grief (...and transitions)

    Cats are so funny this way. I had a cat when I was in my teens. A relative had a barn cat who had a litter and he was one of her kittens. When we first brought him home he hated all of our guts. I remember having to put on big winter gloves to safely fish him out of the big dog crate we were...

    Spoilers Falllout season 2 discussion

    I feel like this is something that might be blameable on Game of Thrones. It's like every show now needs fifteen main characters, each with their own plot threads. Last Episode was all about Max with just a dash of Lucy and Ghoul, and then next week we're going to go back to the Vault and...

    Today I learned +

    Glad your procedure went well. Fentanyl is funny stuff. I had a long hospital stay years ago, and in week before my discharge they wanted to wean me down off of the dilaudid, and did so with fentanyl patches. It's such a heavily controlled thing, that the nurse had to come in every several...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Don't have any kids, but I do have a five year old dog. He's kind of the opposite. If he sees me getting cheese, and I'm not breaking it apart to give him a piece he gets upset.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    When you guys get back together to play you should start the session with something really mundane. Killing a single goblin or something, and tell them they leveled up off of it.

    Spoilers Falllout season 2 discussion

    Fun episode. I'm sad that Kumail's journey was so brief, but I did really enjoy Thaddeus' return. He makes a good middle manager. The Legion and the NCR made me feel the same way I felt when playing New Vegas.. "These guys are really cool, but they don't feel super well fleshed out :/ "

    Kansas City Chiefs Release Hour-Long D&D Actual Play Video

    This talk about being shamed, or ashamed of gaming reminds me of a story from my teen years. I was 17 or so, in High School, and working my first job at Taco Bell. Every now and then, they would introduce several new menu items at the same time, and whenever they did they'd have an all-hands...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    It's been growing in popularity. I think the low cost, low barrier to entry, slower pace of play, and ability to use old cards makes it really attractive as current, new magic is growing ever increasingly more expensive, faster, and less attractive. One of the cards from the recent Final...

    Kansas City Chiefs Release Hour-Long D&D Actual Play Video

    That's a shame you have to hide it. Nerd Culture has become so mainstream that it seems like most people I've encountered are receptive to it as a "real" hobby now. I've found a lot of my coworkers to find it pretty interesting. My old manager was a bit of a drama lover, so she always got a kick...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I almost made a thread for it, but felt it wasn't interesting enough to warrant one, which is how it ended up here. Pauper is a blast. It may not be great for you, as it's still a hyper competitive format that does rely on a lot of new cards. That's actually one of my favorite things about it...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Not complaining about any pineapple on pizza, but something interesting I wanted to share with you all. I play a lot of Magic: The Gathering. Much more than I play D&D, infact. One of my favorite formats is Pauper, which has the deck building restriction that all cards must be of the Common...

    Sure.. He's no John Cena.. But Fallout Kumail would 100% beat up Silicon Valley Kumail

    General video game discussion

    That's a mistake you only make once early on in BG3 lmao. I recall also getting wrecked early by a firebomb or something. Start exploring the wilderness and you see an NPC who looks even slightly fishy you start spreading out the party before chatting with them

    Tell me about the RPG section of your local game store

    My store of choice, Jester's Gallery in Waterford, Michigan, has a pretty sad RPG section. There's a single, double sided, free-standing shelf with their RPG books. Maybe 3-4ft wide, and about 5ft tall. One side is all D&D, and the flipside is some more D&D, some Pathfinder, and then a...
