    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    The girlfriend and I put up our Christmas Tree yesterday and we were playing Christmas music while doing so. I purposefully played Steven Page's version (Along with some other tracks from Barenaked Ladies' Xmas album.) Listened to it again in the car today on my way to work. Just saw this...

    Which Social Media Platforms Do You Use?

    He might be for all we know.. For me the oppressive algorithms is really the dividing line more than anything else. There are days where I pop on here and there's really no content that catches my eye and I just close the browser. That's how you know it's different. Every other site is so...

    Which Social Media Platforms Do You Use?

    I can understand the desire to differentiate places like ENWorld from other social medias. I think when most people think of "Social Media" they think of the big, algorithm driven platforms like FaceBook, X, Instagram, or similar. Platforms that exist for the sole purpose of harvesting our...

    Which Social Media Platforms Do You Use?

    You can also go into your watch history and remove individual videos. That helps if you find you're on the wrong track

    Which Social Media Platforms Do You Use?

    I use too many social media apps. -Probably Not Going Anywhere- -YouTube: This is my preferred method of consuming content. I watch a handful of shows on traditional streaming platforms each year, but that number gets smaller and smaller. I watch a lot of content based around D&D, MTG, Tech...

    Today I learned +

    I wonder how similar ancient cats were to modern domestic cats. I'm just imagining some ancient Egyptian being frustrated showing up to work and realizing his new good robes were covered in cat hair.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Work in automotive, not tech, but lotta lead times are growing out there. There's a been a few times I send a quote back to my customer after they ask me to order it, and I go "You saw the lead times on this, right?" and it becomes obvious that they, in fact.. Did not read the quoted lead times.

    The official EN World puppy/doggo thread

    My childhood dog was a border collie and he was the best. I miss him a lot. He was very kind, and very smart. I never thought much of it as a kid, but we lived in a semi-rural area, and our back yard bumped up to a large wooded area. I'd take him out at night, and he'd wander out into the woods...

    The official EN World puppy/doggo thread

    We bought a house in the spring, and the backyard was fenced on 3/4 sides. I finally got around to purchasing and installing the last part+gate this weekend so Archie is now free to run in the leaves and poop without the burden of a leash. The kicker now however, is that he's afraid of the...

    Secrets of low-prep homebrew [+]

    Yeah, unfortunately I don't have much advice because I'm bad at being low-prep. I get too anxious if I don't have enough prepared. However front-loading your prep does really help making pre-game prep lighter. For instance, because I always over-prep I often have creatures I never used, and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    They say this.. But it's something I've always been skeptical of. Rosewater has mentioned this, as well as "These players don't even know what a Format is!" and it has always made me wonder.. Like, I don't doubt that these hyper casual players exist. I started as one myself. But.. How are they...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Standard is still standard. Though standard is now more like the old Extended, with sets now being legal for three years before rotating.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    I don't know if I would call it "Hated" but it also wasn't received to critical acclaim. And the sales weren't stellar.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Kpop Demon Hunters was really cute, and they did some interesting world building. I think it would take work but I could see it actually being an alright set.

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    Mine too. Fall is the best time of year. Comfy sweaters, dark beers, good food. Plus, we never get to eat turkey and stuffing the rest of the year for some reason. We should have a second Thanksgiving in May, so we don't have to go so long between them.

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    I don't know about that. Thanksgiving is still a hugely popular holiday in the US. It's one of the few ones that lots of people still get off. Even some of the poor retail and service drones are lucky enough to be off that day. (Though usually unpaid) Things change over time though. I think...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    I'm an active M:TG player.. I'm going to the LGS tonight to play Pioneer. There's a few misconceptions going on here. Lorwyn has sort of gotten the same treatment as 4E D&D. It was largely panned at the time. For one thing, it came out late 2007, right at the dawn of a recession, and it also...

    General video game discussion

    I really enjoyed Witcher3. I played through it on PC, and was kind of eh of the idea of it on Switch. A friend of mine played through it that way though and thoroughly enjoyed his experience. It's impressive that they were able to make it playable on the Switch. I really need to dust off my...

    General video game discussion

    From the 1st to the 12th of this month Monsters and Memories did their longest open beta test so far. It's an old-school inspired MMO that borrows heavily from games like EverQuest. I hopped on for the second week and played a Gnome Elementalist up to level 5. It's... Okay... I think it's...
