    I at least have met human beings that liked these peanut butter taffies and I'd have a couple here or there as my bag of Halloween candy thinned of the good shit. Candy corn is sweetened wax. Fuck, did I save that picture from here? Is it a repost. I need to keep this shit better organized.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    It was a really cool idea with poor implementation, opaque mechanics regarding flags/keys and impossible challenges from very early on. You can sign me the fuck up for autogranted AA though.

    Path of Exile

    I have only tried one uber and it was uber Shaper and it went horribly. As a bad I'm just not interested in eating shit over and over until I put in enough reps to have a decent shot at uber content. Getting Sirus under my belt fucking sucked and I got murdered by Maven plenty. Do even harder...

    Path of Exile

    I've got like 40 divines and a character with real damage so some of this I can just throw money at. I just played a fucking ton this league but because of how I went about it I left myself at least one ugly grind left without the drive to take it down. How this should have gone is that while...

    Path of Exile

    It might still be something I'm in to but I'm not sure I have it in me to roll up another character so I had it set aside as a potential league start for December. I'm sitting at 36/40 right now and getting to 38 is looking like it's going to be a real fuck.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    @Xeris alright how many achievos are we looking at locking down before the next content release? Ten? Fifteen? We require an update on the situation and a prognostication on whether the next batch are doable.

    All Quiet on the Western Front (2022)

    The original 1930 version is shockingly violent. I'd recommend it to anyone. This fella made a really solid review/analysis of it.

    All Quiet on the Western Front (2022)

    One of the books I want to get to by the end of the year is The Road Back, the story commonly regarded as the sequel to All Quiet on the Western Front. Given when it was written I am really interested in seeing if it's just fucking full of dark omens.

    You didn't know fucking anything one day ago so I don't even know what this is. People have been talking about Baker specifically for a few pages now and out come the top links from a Google search? Are you participating in the discussion or not.

    The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)

    During his arrest for a counterfeit twenty dollar bill George Floyd swallowed the drugs he was carrying in an effort to conceal them. This caused him to overdose. He did the exact thing at least one time previously. Derek Chauvin did have the worst luck in the world though. Actually, the rookie...

    The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)

    By all means, get up there on the stand a year later after cities around the country have burned and billions of dollars of damage done with credible threats being made on the daily and be the witness that exonerates Derek Chauvin.

    The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)

    Derek pled guilty to federal charges. He's done. He was denied even a public defender unless he melted down his entire pension and spent every nickel of it first. Combined with the threat that if fought the charges at all they would run the sentence consecutively he gave up. I don't blame him...

    The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)

    Chauvin was convicted of second degree murder, third degree murder and manslaughter. So he intentionally killed Floyd, didn't intend to kill Floyd but killed him through intentionally trying to cause great harm and also killed him unintentionally with no malice and he did all of these things...

    Hellraiser

    I went and relistened to the audiobook for The Hellbound Heart. It is an older recording of questionable sound quality but I think Clive Barker does the reading. I've gone back to it a few times over the years and I'm still surprised at how much lore there is to be found in the small novella...

    The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)

    The part of the interaction that I can empathize the least with Chauvin is when the minutes are dragging on and he never doubts his own actions. How does the voice inside your head tell you to just stay the course? I absolutely don't have that ability. That being said there is a defense. People...

    Woman's husband has unexpectedly killed himself and as she's packing up their home she begins to learn of his dark secrets. This was really, really good. The lead plays a woman with some darkness in her as well and she's just great. My only complaint (and it is a small one) is there's your...

    It's the fasting talk that I cannot handle. I cannot stand to listen to a single word about a religious practice that predates written language from some atheist that had his mind blown by baby's first spiritual journey.

    It's Zelda but the original Super Mario Brothers box and that entire initial release of games with the pixel covers tickle some very specific memberberries. I do think that Final Fantasy has some real next level box art given when it came out. The instruction manual was good too and it came...

    Hellraiser

    Much of the film was some pretty mediocre contemporary horror but it does finally develop a point during the last act. The different transitions during each schism looked great where the walls pull away or pits open up but I think the cenobites were all just a little too busy in their design...

    It gives us a little window in to what an abandonment of the reserved list would look like. If they're charging 999.95 for four packs of proxies than cards that were legal for play would be a some multiple of that.

    I suspect there are more people that used to play in this thread than actually play. Boomers that only collect/buy reserved list cards and play 93/94 or whatever don't count as playing. Mist has the right idea with the Arena limited play. It's a way of leveraging skill and mastery in a game of...

    Sol Ring downshifted to common? Is the pauper format just INVISIBLE to these people? edit - going back and cropping art, changing flavor text, excluding certain cards (Earthbind, Weakness, Crusade) bothers me as much as the price tag. Just can't not fuck with everything.
