Old Scratch Johnson

I had so many experiences just like yours (including at the goblin camp) that I ultimately soured on the game altogether and haven’t gone back (not sure if I will). I really wanted it to be more role-playing based but anything I see or experience just makes it look way too tactical and meta gaming for me to sink into.

But it’s a beloved game so I know that it’s mostly just me it doesn’t work for. I hope you find whatever enjoyment you can from it.

I agree. I enjoyed it so much I got it after the first post

I prefer my Dickens to be as dour and melancholy as possible. Which is why I’ve always liked the George C. Scott version the best myself. Other than sound volume issues with the blaring horns of doom I think it’s great. But that’s just me.

They sure did. They did Alanis Morriset and it was awesome. But seeing Jeff and Pup tossing microphones back and forth and be so in sync and having so much fun was legit the height of all.

I didn’t know Jeff before that show but they were incredible. And Double Band was the best thing I’ve ever seen at a show ever. Love Jeff now and will see them any time

I have the Thagomizer comic hanging at my desk because I was raised on Larson and to always remind me that silliness can make a profound impact.

Some (obviously only blue) states are starting to implement some groups for themselves to fill the gap. Hopefully they have the budget and success with it to really help it blossom.

They HAD a group for digital infrastructure. Guess who was one of the first groups targeted by DOGE? 18F was the group that was all internal to upgrade services like Weather.gov, Free File and lots more.

Thank you for making it easy for me to get the number for my senator. Made the call in just a minute.

Completely agree. My partner isn’t always what I want but more often than not when you find your partner they are the ones that make you feel better after a particularly rough day

A story.

Your argument lacks credibility. If people didn’t like extremes then we’d have similar outrage from those centrists when Elon Musk throws a Nazi salute or when people hurt cops and storm the Capitol building. Instead we get apologists and excuses. Meanwhile protestors of injustice are treated as if they’ve committed genocide caused they hurt a Walmart and people actually committing genocide get excused.

People don’t worry about extremes. They worry about change of the status quo.

Also, the systemic issues within our country and the ability to ignore the system as a whole by the privileged is what gives you the power to say something like “reeorting to violence as a first resort” as if we haven’t had ample evidence of attempts to bring accountability and change to the system that just gets ignored. Not only is it not a first resort but to the people who are suffering daily… Why should they care what level of resort it is? We excuse businesses for doing whatever it takes because “shareholder value” but when it comes to the poor and suffering they just follow the exact letter of the law and then some.

It’s not about extremes and never has been.

I jumped into ergo with the Moonlander about a year ago. I really love it personally. This one scares me but so did the Moonlander at first. But i chose that for comfort as well as for the design choices of customizability and supporting modding and things like that. But that’s where my value was. Just think through what aspects are most important to you.

Not the exact design but the same concept for you my truthless friend.

God twerks in mysterious ways

Definitely my favorite of the specials. Thought the acting was great. I wish they didn’t do “catch” for the final game especially when they so poorly edited in all the catches. But whatever. And then i was shocked when Donna said “you don’t have to stay forever” and they completely missed the line “I dont want to go”. Felt like it would have been a great way to tie it up.

I’m glad everyone else enjoyed this one. My wife included but it just didn’t hit for me. It never felt to me like The Doctor or Donna actually got it right but that the Nothings just got it wrong. I didn’t feel like they did anything really. And if they weren’t there the ship would have exploded and there would have been no issue to begin with. And the Doctor grabbing the wrong Donna at the end really felt wrong to me. I dunno. Felt like an okay episode but I wanted more from a special that brought back The Doctor Donna.

The Moonlander (my first foray into ergo keyboards) landed on my doorstep the same day i got the email announcing this. My heart dropped thinking they made Moonlander 2.0 but thankfully it’s just different. I want some tenting and don’t need portable but it does look nice.
