I read the book to my daughter and thought the first episode was delightful, can't wait to watch the rest with her.

It's not a lifestyle declaration, it's a car. I know people online make it sound like everyone is frothing at Tesla drivers, but ultimately: you bought a thing to get you around town.

Slap an Anti-Elon Tesla Club bumper sticker on it if you want. Do what I've been doing since Elon called that one guy a pedophile: remind people who comment that you're not responsible for a billionaire's antics. You just wanted an electric car.

I started with just one, and was buying digital games. I quickly found as each child gets to 6-7, they need their own switch. So I'm sitting at 4 right now, and agree hard on physical games.

However, in cities such as Miami, median list prices are still 50% higher than before the pandemic,”

This is still pretty much the case in Tampa too, property values are so inflated from 2021 and 2022 that a 5% drop really just shows the market leveling off.

But the home insurance market is a sword of Damocles hanging over the state, and Desantis is too busy campaigning against universally popular ballot measures to do anything about it (and has found other culture war bullshit to distract himself from it for years now).

But also, isn't the reason these WoW Tokens are low is because people are trading their in-game gold for it instead of actually paying $90 cash??

I think the big problem wasn't just the quantity, but the content. Every conversation felt like a character was just narrating their wiki bio to me, and not actually talking about anything current.

I will never understand people who think this movie isn't funny - endlessly quotable:

"That's a lot of nuts!" "You should be able to beat him now!" "Beware his song about big butts, he beats you up while he plays it!"

I could go on. In a just world he would have gotten to make more films, and not just thumb parody movies.

Yeah - I don't want to be too dismissive. I've read interviews with him, and despite his success, he hasn't measurably changed his lifestyle or fallen into the traps a big influx of money can cause. It honestly reminds me of No Man's Sky (minus the redempetion arc) where enough money was made from the base product that it funds ongoing development for the forseeable future.

I mean this is great, props... But didn't he already make his nut with this game?? I mean I can play it on my fucking Tesla, I assume he got paid.

For a while streamers were doing this thing where they would renew a show for Season 2 before the Season 1 pilot even released. I guess it was a way to project confidence to the audience?? Or maybe just to get the production pipeline moving so there wouldn't be 2+ years in between season releases.

Anyway, they did that with Halo...

You sure?? This Embracer Group seems like some smart young men, and they make a compelling offer. Can I at least sell them a beloved fantasy classic?? As a treat?

 

My current merc company is The Iron Hounds. My medium lance is all Shadowhawks. Are there better medium mechs? Sure. Are they big stompy bois with cannons on their shoulder?? No.

Been having a lot of fun with these guys - now I just want to get some Shadowhawk 5Ms and cram them with clan tech.

Do any of these titles look particularly interesting? Do you know of any other titles that aren't listed here? I'm always looking for fun one-offs to play.
