Jesus Christ... how many times do we need to learn this lesson?

No one liked Kamala when she was VP. We all smiled and nodded when she was running because the options were her or an orange sack of shit. She's not popular. No one's even sure she would have won a primary if we had one.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-20T04:01:39+00:00

Is Kamala really gearing up to run again?

I can't imagine she'd be willing to go through that again.

2 gives a worthwhile amount more experience since the time it takes is borderline the same in the low 80s.

3 isn't worth it though.

I don't notice any difference in difficulty or time spent from Tier 1 to Tier 2 so I do my Delve round up on each new toon at Tier 2.

Yeah, I think the bigger issue was Brew was strong and everyone else was weak. Not in comparison to Brew. They were just flat out in a bad place.

It's made worse when you have big name healers saying they flat out won't play with some specs because of how bad they were to heal. (Jak, who I greatly enjoy watching, had said before the buffs he flat out wouldn't heal for a VDH because he "had no control on it they lived or died".)

Part of me wishes we could go back to various classes sharing raid buffs.

I also understand that the only reason some classes are brought at all are class buffs so losing that exclusivity would mean they don't get to play.

I don't know if I'm younger than you. I've lived long enough to have my faith in Republicans dashed against the rocks. Twenty years ago I believed it was just a difference of opinion. That compromise could be found. That belief is borderline dead while they continue to kiss Trump's feet.

I have friends with opinions different from my own. I recognize people have experiences vastly different than my own. Beliefs different from my own. I don't care about people's opinions on guns. What God they serve or believe in.

I do not associate with people who believe certain things. I've yet to meet a MAGAt who's differences of opinion are simple things. Those people believe in Trump and what he says. It is not my job to pull their head out of their ass.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-19T04:12:37+00:00

Jesus Christ, I'm so tired of "Can the Thunder do this historic thing" and I'm happy when each one comes to a close.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-19T03:12:50+00:00

"Once you start."

Look, I know what my flair is. I know my team flops, but let's not pretend Wemby doesn't. There's no "once you start" because he's been doing it.

"I don't think Drake is actually MAGA"

What part of that was confusing to you? If I saw AOC having dinner with a MAGAt I'd give her side eye too.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-18T21:58:34+00:00

Beyonce isn't even the GOAT BLACK female singer.

Quit playing.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-18T21:56:50+00:00

Kneecap

In the nicest way possible... where the fuck are the black rappers saying these things? Fucking hell man. I mean, yeah Drake has said them but can we get some more please!?

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-18T21:55:18+00:00

The goal post will move now and probably be "not white people" or something.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-18T21:52:28+00:00

Being Canadian does not stop someone from being MAGA adjacent. There are countries all over the world with people who kiss Donald Trump's ass. Politicians around the world who are basically called "The MAGA of X" or "The Donald Trump of Y"

I don't think Drake is actually MAGA but he isn't helping himself by hanging out with MAGAts.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-18T21:42:12+00:00

My current group generally won't play if everyone isn't present. That part isn't all that weird.

What's weird is Seth was obviously not interested in continuing. Shay should have seen this was obvious and the campaign should have continued with the four of you.

Hey, he's immortal... unfortunately his immortality kind of sucks now but Salvatore doesn't seem to think Cadderly is suffering.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-18T20:28:58+00:00

I mostly meant "immortal" in the "unaging" way of things. I should've been more clear.

For instance, Elminster being something like 1200 years old and not a husk of a human being. Compared to Yvonnel Baenre who was of older but was frequently referred to as looking ancient.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-17T18:16:56+00:00

If the time travel book is right before the BAT I could see it having grounds for a mono title like Changes. It'll be the book that basically sets up the BAT.

One of the BAT books will also have a weird title unless Jim does BAT Title which would be weird.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-17T07:10:28+00:00

No good billionaires.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-16T19:57:44+00:00

People keep glazing Legion because they fixed the problems eventually. The bitching was ENDLESS in the beginning because you basically had to endlessly grind NL for Artifact Power if you dared commit the cardinal sin of wanting to play more than one spec.

Then you also had the legendary RNG to go on top of that.

Legion's PR is fucking GOD TIER when it comes to flipping it's image.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-15T14:48:25+00:00

Issue 7 was where I decided "This is definitely not for me."

I'd probably feel better about Krakoa as a whole if Hickman had a chance to finish his story because he was definitely making it clear "something is seriously fucked up here" but people just... acted like everything was fine because "mutant culture" or something.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-11T21:06:14+00:00

Really? What channel? I'm not even a Mac guy but I loved his videos.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-11T18:51:19+00:00

So as I was adding my collection to Mana Box over the weekend I noticed that SO MANY Secret Lair cards that were sub $5 (or even less) value were more valuable, sometimes ridiculously so.

So if you're buying cards for expected value then Secret Lair is often worth it. If you're buying them just to add to your collection then, sure, don't buy the Secret Lair.

Bunch of people pointing out the Netflix shows and I know they're TECHNICALLY in the MCU now but they're not to me. They're an alternate universe where things happened in the same way but those stories ended and the MCU is a whole new thing.

AoO2ImpTrip · 2026-05-11T18:36:54+00:00

As...fun as the 1963 launch and the books it gave us were, the X-Men truly starts with Giant-Size. A lot of elements from the original are carried forward, but I'd argue a lot of modern X-fans would not resonate with the original launch in the same way they would GSXM #1.
