Look what Andrew did! Also ... "First, nearly everyone would die. Then things would get interesting." is such a great summary of XKCD's What If series.

I saw it last week and really enjoyed it.

If I wanted to sort weapons by damage or mastery or whether or not it has finesse, that's what Excel or any other spreadsheet is for. For a paper unchanging copy, alphabetical is best.

They mock the "rules" of the Gremlins even in the OG movie ... "what about if they get food stuck in their teeth?", so I think it's just a big DWAI.

Plus there's a scene where Leslie Neilsen talks to the lead character through a toilet. After an impromptu musical number. Loved Due South as a kid, admittedly haven't gone back to it.

I was about to suggest FATE, and specifically the Atomic Robo implementation, as it has brainstorming to do technobabble sessions and the way characters are built allow for easy Medical/Tactical/Command, etc style characters.

I pirated Nemesis and still feel like I'm owed money for the time it took from me.

I don't know if it's a nitpick, but was just reading the Trek movie thread and reminded of two Wrath of Khan goofs. First, the Ceti Alpha V vs VI is a little weird and whatever, I'm not going to headcanon it like it's the Kessel Run. But the one that gets me is the poor extra that has no idea...

I'd offer two counterpoints. In-universe ... this demonstrates the advantage of the strip-style phaser arrays on the Enterprise-E, faster targetting and the ability to fire a spread of shots over the Enterprise-A. Second, the choreography of the battle shows that Chang's Bird of Prey is...

The top two I find interchangeable. Both excellent for different reasons. 1. Wrath of Khan 2. Voyage Home 3. Undiscovered Country ... tbh, the main reason I can't put this up for first or second is the mind meld scene is bad and I didn't care for the prison bits. The rest is gold though. 4...

My hot take (assuming one can have a hot take for a 20+ year old trilogy) is that they're better than the books because they cut out extraneous stuff (suck it Bombadil and Glorfindel, lol jk) and do a better job of making the Ring scary. That's why I like that Faramir is initially tempted, even...

Copied from the other Dr Who thread: That was fun. Definitely more fantastical than usual, the Doctor's comment about opening a door for myth in "Wild Blue Yonder" was more portentious than I anticipated.

Xmas morning, made Eggs Benedict.

Growing up, I had French Toast with cream cheese and maple syrup. And I will occassionally go savoury and skip the maple syrup. But I prefer a pure egg and bread French Toast ... no milk in mine, so mine is more like bread wrapped in egg, so it's easier to hit a savoury note.

My go to is always a box of homemade baked goods for friends. So this year the current plans are: Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies. Link to a video where I got the recipe, this is a new one. Lemon Coconut Squares Pistachio Cranberry Biscotti (probably drizzled with white chocolate) Marshmallows...

Also, we often make oatmeal the day before and just reheat in the microwave in the morning.

"I claim this world as Arrako, capital of the Sol System" Or "Now ... am I going to find Protheans or Shadows here?"

I bought the Starjammer box set, that was the last official WotC purchase. That said, I am planning on getting the new PHB, and would have bought the Deck of Many Things if it had come earlier.
