    I finally did it, guys. I won over 5 draft games, two times in a row. Sadly I came to realize that I’m playing too aggro and early curve oriented for this format. (Mom+) the insanity of early game last phyrex cycle has my curve around 3 and while I still like early options, it seems like the...

    I just turned 40 and thought about reevaluating my triple q / S&P 80% and 20% picks, but f it, maybe at 50. 😎

    Since last whining i decided to man up and hit the draft with a fresh attitude and more color flexibility when drafting. 2 wins and 1 win and just accepted my brain no longer works

    That’s going to be annoying when some tranny hooker has infiltrated guild leadership and tries to get their 2nd ranger gear over your shitty main ranger - a play that used to get you free default loot

    I was always a 5 win average guy with draft and I’ve shat the bed so hard in these last 2 sets. can’t tell if I’m just getting unlucky or turned retarded, but I’m getting so many 1 win drafts with decks I feel like should go all the way. I am super salty, but still grateful I enjoy drafting...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    My fear has always been more about the loner nihilist attempting as much chaos as possible through AI vs some kind of terminator scenario. or who is even more dreadful to imagine with destructive AI? Our government, yikes ! My first example more specifically would be a Mr Robot type kid that...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I think my GoT experience had me scared regarding all these storylines that were at one point central and haven’t been brought up in 3-5 books sometimes. I’m on 9.5 and wondering about a brother that’s kind of a big deal, an assassin who’s fate was left in the air x 2, and a reborn mage from...

    A few weeks ago I decided to buy an IPO just because I hadn’t in like …5 years. Bought the Bullfrog (bfrg) because it had the coolest name and after getting stomped for weeks I received the message from my coworker that was dumb enough to buy it with me “the frog is back on the Lilly pad!’ I...

    The world, like Norrath, is tough, Jasper. Think about this, though. You walk into Sol A at lvl 18 and loin cloth for gear and you know what happens. You get fucked. Gain a few levels, get yourself a few hp rings, bring some friends that aren’t retarded, and next thing you know you’re too...

    My thoughts: Good: sound effects, combat flow, empty space entertainment (random intrigue going from place to place), forgiving and simple class options on pace with entry level part of game. bad Forced cutscenes, I’m too old to care about this stupid story. Feels like you’re on the park...

    I guess I feel bad about zombing through and missing some of the cool connections they make, but also remember thinking ‘fuck this whole Redmask story’ then getting the result and thinking ‘man, good thing I didn’t pay much attention to that’

    Unnngg just got to 9 and it’s a love hate for me. Like The Shake and thought process or the Kchain, how can I possibly care about that stuff after following the other story lines for 8 books. How you gonna deep dive into these side stories this point, STEVE. The love part is real too, though...

    Sorry, yes, that was dating advice from the movie, Magnolia. It’s a joke, but myself and a cadre of guys used some of the tricks to up our chances and I did meet my wife that way. She does say she totally forgot who I was because I tried the 14 day thing and I just stopped existing in her...

    The great Frank TJ Mackey gave us a few simple rules that will catapult you to more successful dates. The 14 day rule is easily the most simple and useful. If you really like someone and had a great date, then you must wait 14 days to ask them out again. You must be hard on yourself, do not...

    Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023)

    Luther was a good character and they could have really nailed a Seven type thing, but there were so many stupid fucking moments like the ones alluded to above. These 'gotcha' moments are so predictable and they put them in movies because they think they're like "WOW HE GAWT AWAY UNREAL, except...

    Would be cool if they tiered loot tables based on size of raid + speed of kill 25 or less = 150% loot 35 = 125% loot 45 + no bonus 60 + no bonus So if you Zerg you can get the speed bonus but not size etc

    I told my neighbor that we wouldn’t play because it would probably ruin his good life and he laughed and agreed. My original pitch was ‘would you like to try a relaunch of one of the games that started it all?’ He’s only 30 so he missed the boat. A few minutes later when our wives were...

    Car ?'s

    Correct, it’s a quality control issue. The roof brackets were recalled, but the other seals/plastic are common to be defective and fly off on the interstate. My mechanic buddy said they don’t recall parts like that bc it’s not cost effective unless it’s killing people or causing enough...

    Probably good advice. Explorer has souped up engine with no issues and is paid off. May as well try to get another couple of years. I took a job that’s 1099 and puts 20k miles a year. Nice tax break, but not the best thing for the car 🚗

    I have a family of 4 and my 2017 explorer just hit 100k miles. No reliability issues at all, but the exterior is literally flying off the vehicle at a startling rate. (Lost top rack, front windshield frame, and a door key input pad to just driving). My wife has a company truck, but she may...

    Just buy the game, play with some friends, neighbors, and coworkers. If it sucks, then I’m sure you’ll still get more entertainment than I do for a round of golf that’s more expensive. Jesus titty Christ, people. None of the half ass games do well enough to compete financially with the...

    Embarrassing, but I think it took me 5 or 6 drafts to get to 7 wins.
