    Yeah, we're not saying the same things. FNM is like twenty bucks for an evening of amusement and in that environment I've got zero problems with the pick 13 rare unplayables.

    At a FNM I'd totally run that shit. Small stakes big hilarity if the gods of variance are on your side that evening.

    Mindhunter

    No need to worry. In addition to not being able to spot them sociopaths are famously resistant to treatment as well and charismatic enough to get you to believe the opposite.

    Path of Exile

    Desecrate will shit out corpses from the zone you are in plus any spectres you brought with you. If you lost one and you're still in the same area than Desecrate will give you those corpses as well but if you left than it won't. If you took off your gear that had the spectre gems (or they became...

    Star Trek: Picard

    TOS breaking in to popular culture (something DS9, Voyager and Enterprise all failed to accomplish) and spawning a series of successful movies was a real accomplishment.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Spending time the last couple of months farming so you can blow consumables on content you cleared in rags and haven't wiped to in forever to get ready to farm larger amounts of more varied consumables for content that is a day one night one clear encapsulates the experience well.

    Mindhunter

    The Charles Manson performance I found so interesting and charismatic that I'll probably pick up Manson's writings at some point. So good job there sorta I guess? "You look like a composite of what people told you that you should be" is a burn for the ages given who it was directed at.

    Star Trek: Picard

    We see Bajoran refugees a few times in TNG including their terror cells and the Cardassians trying to wipe them out. Picard replicates everyone at one camp a blanket. Maybe not the most impressive use of a Galaxy class starship's resources but blankets are damned useful. There's some actual...

    Star Trek: Picard

    He's COMMANDER Worf of House Martok and was assigned as diplomat to Kronos! The Troi/Worf pairing in later seasons would have gone fast and hard where Worf bangs her before the entire senior staff while everyone claps. I think Netflix did this already?

    Star Trek: Picard

    Star Trek is about a future in which humanity has bested many of its great nemeses. It's optimistic. Star Trek was one of the few shows that Dr. Martin Luthor King Jr. allowed his kids to watch. We've got a Jap on the helm and a Ruskie in charge of the weapon's system post WW2 and with the Cold...

    Reading the promotional material and checking out the interviews and coming to a conclusion about the themes and style of show isn't a snap judgement. The people inserting their political and social agenda in to all of the entertainment products being made are not the same as the people...

    A Quiet Place Part II (2020)

    I hadn't even watched the trailer until you said this and yeah, it looks way less interesting than I was expecting. The flashback action scenes have a very War of the Worldsy look to them and then it looks to transition in to something inspired by McCormac's The Road. I liked both the book and...

    I don't know, I think the meta should change up quite a bit once Modern Horizons 2 comes out. Following in the footsteps of the original this new set will again expand upon older mechanics without the constraints that needing to exist in a Standard environment places on card design. This time...

    Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

    The R rating is probably an error given what you can do with PG-13 but we'll see. It's possible the calcs have flipped and they expect to make more money with the R than they would with the lower rating.

    Ted Bundy worked a suicide hotline (and everyone thought he was great), Gacy performed as a clown and Dahmer hung out at the local gay spa. They knew people and interacted out in the real world. Only some serial killers fit that mold.

    The Face of Battle by John Keenan is pretty alright. It goes over in detail a couple different famous battles from as much primary material as possible and from the viewpoint of the people on the ground during the things.

    If they're still wet than you need to flatten them before drying. Get a heavy-ass book or cookie sheet and put a weight on it. As long as they come out on the other end alright they'll still be playable sleeved even if people think you were jacking it all over Nissa.

    Watchmen

    Never read the comics! There's a motion comic for it in which the comic is animated and then has an audiobook-esque reader/narrator. It's really good if you like watching things over reading things. Looks like YouTube may just have them all for some reason?

    Dolemite is My Name (on Netflix). It's got Eddie Murphy in the lead as Rudy Ray Moore telling the story of how he made his first film in heightened reality not too dissimilar from what was done with Ed Wood. It was a lot of fun!
