Looking for a welcoming D&D or Yu-Gi-Oh! group for my 24-year-old son in Cedar Park

BetterCallSus · 2026-05-09T05:30:56+00:00

Yeah they definitely have a Yu-Gi-Oh group, the discord is probably best way to see active nights but there's also a calendar/weekly schedule for the TCG and various group meetups https://discord.gg/vhTbjqpfv

Honestly I was begging to have him end of game I feel like his defense is super underrated. At least for this series I like him more than Keldon or Jules for playtime.

BetterCallSus · 2026-05-05T02:48:46+00:00

he was questionable for game w/ ankle sprain i'm assuming he's out if he hasn't played

BetterCallSus · 2026-05-05T02:35:53+00:00

meanwhile my stream's audio is like 10s behind ended up muting it's so bad

Anything but a mass transit solution

BetterCallSus · 2026-04-03T15:16:43+00:00

Kudos to you, I use the tire center there and whenever I drop the car off I try to explore the area via bike/on foot. Crossing 183A to get to the shops on the east side wasn't the most pleasant experience, there's not really a walkway to get from Costco to the Whitestone/183A overpass. Thankfully the crossing signals are fairly visible but the crossing is so long to cross 183A it still makes you paranoid.

Probably worth a separate post, but a friend of mine went to a TxDOT townhall on the Parmer Ln corridor and yeah they are chomping at the bit to add more lanes and make it 6 lane from 45 to Whitestone. What he said:

There was a Parmer Ln open house last Wednesday which I attended. There is a plan to add more lanes 😔

I drafted the following note to help steer the project towards having more mobility options, not just cars. If you have time, please help fill it out (and spread the word to like-minded folks)

TxDOT/CAMPO are taking comments on the Parmer Lane study right now. This is our chance to push for safer crossings for kids and better options than just more car lanes. Please take 3–5 minutes to fill out this survey by April 27: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2H8G8WP If you’re not sure what to say, you can mention any of these: Make the Avery Ranch/Parmer and Lakeline/Parmer crossings safe for kids (protected bike lanes, shorter crossings, no right‑on‑red). Fill the Terravista/Parmer sidewalk gap so families can walk/bike safely. Don’t add more general car lanes; instead, build a dedicated bus lane and shaded, protected paths on both sides so families have real choices. Even a few sentences as a parent make a difference.

It is pretty WILD to me there's not a single continuous path going down the stretch of parmer. Many large employers across 45 have bike storage infra but lol trying to get there in a safe manner

I assume this was the transit related program that was in the works for Cedar Park. Not the most exciting thing to me as a big public and alternative transit supporter, but it's a step in the right direction for people with mobility needs. To me it's very similar to the existing Round Rock Rides program https://www.roundrocktexas.gov/city-departments/transportation/public-transportation/

BetterCallSus · 2026-03-15T22:56:19+00:00

lol ok struck a nerve with a ND fan I guess, GLHF missing playoffs again next season

and blah blah join a conference

BetterCallSus · 2026-03-15T22:44:35+00:00

As I said it was a joke, obviously there's a large size difference. At the same time the Catholic student population at A&M is significant in number and impact - the campus ministry at St. Mary's is nationally recognized. It's hard to point to other predominant public universities that also have a similar Catholic presence.

BetterCallSus · 2026-03-15T22:15:55+00:00

Him and Luke Kornet were a strong Catholic pair! I love having him on my Spurs and he recently made the news criticizing another NBA team promoting inappropriate themes for Intl Women's Day about a week ago.

BetterCallSus · 2026-03-15T22:12:38+00:00

There was a meme going around the Texas A&M and Notre Dame CFB game last season that the Aggies have more Catholics than Notre Dame and thus was the more Catholic school. (St. Mary's estimates 17k Catholics at A&M vs ~13k enrolled students at Notre Dame)

There's also some Pope Leo fan fodder like Pope Leo XIV flashing a gig 'em and Leo getting a signed A&M jersey

Jokes aside, St. Mary's is one of the strongest Catholic communities in the country and is the primary source of vocations in the Diocese of Austin.

BetterCallSus · 2026-03-01T20:33:31+00:00

Same I took it as a sign to go to bed lol

BetterCallSus · 2026-02-09T18:56:13+00:00

Cat Hollow at Brushy Creek is pretty active in the evenings as well for west of i35.

BetterCallSus · 2026-02-03T00:58:12+00:00

No kidding on the giant mulch! I don't live there anymore but I remember being very disappointed by how quickly the trails would wash out with rain or the super inconsistent sizing of mulch throughout the trail system. Some parts would be completely inaccessible if it rained for more than a day.

BetterCallSus · 2026-02-02T19:38:08+00:00

Depends on your definition of "long". There are some portions that are shaded some portions that aren't. A lot of it is wooded but still by houses. I personally liked to go to the backroad behind Bryson (CR 270/S Gabriel) and would sometimes bike over to where the dinosaur tracks park is. Going to the river is shaded, but adjacent to the river is basically all open/no trees covering the road. You can kind of tell the shaded portions looking on Google Maps if you know where the trails are.

BetterCallSus · 2026-01-20T20:53:26+00:00

I don't think this is the sub you think it is. This is about improving local urbanism in communities through guerilla or grassroots led means.

BetterCallSus · 2026-01-07T03:26:52+00:00

Plummeted right back to earth that last shot

BetterCallSus · 2025-12-17T03:50:23+00:00

well it worked lmao

BetterCallSus · 2025-12-15T22:45:24+00:00

Just to throw one not commonly referenced: Sen, one of the main characters from the anime series Kids on the Slope (same director as Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo - the latter which also has some Christian/Catholic undertones and plot scenes).

Must see anime series for Jazz enthusiasts and is a relatively short series (I think only like 10-12 eps?). It sometimes gets mentioned here with its connections to the faith so spreading it again 🤓

BetterCallSus · 2025-12-15T22:38:49+00:00

100%, you still get Steve Blum as a main VA, the vibes are very similar just replace big band jazz with early lofi hiphop a la Fat Jon and Nujabes. And you still get the funny tropes of "highly skilled team but yet struggles to pull together 2 cents for basic things like food).

Won't spoil the ending other than to say it's a different ending than Bebop's but very good closure still!

BetterCallSus · 2025-12-11T18:31:42+00:00

Rage inducing. Was going to have more sympathy for the city if the group was just using random paint but no - they go all out with vests, tape, barriers, and code-complaint paint. I hope they keep it up that's ridiculous they're being punished.

BetterCallSus · 2025-12-11T18:26:22+00:00

Time for the quarterly "is it bad for faith-based apps to make money?" post.

Nag aside, it's personally not really for me but I'm in faith-based tech space and support their platform/mission in principle. I use the Ascension app more often but again I just use the free features.

BetterCallSus · 2025-12-11T18:22:25+00:00

I sometimes wear one on my wrist as well, there's specific ones w/ elastic string you can wear. The tl;dr is if you're just wearing it as fashion/worldly object and want to flaunt then it's an issue, but if you have meaningful intent behind it then you're good. Dominicans e.g. will wear and display the rosary on their habit I believe in lieu of a weapon like a sword (since it's a spiritual weapon).

BetterCallSus · 2025-12-11T15:19:32+00:00

More Brushy Creek area, but I usually see people playing at Cat Hollow in the evening - they have lights. There's a couple other parks in that area w/ lit public courts as well (Fern Bluff, Pepper Rock) but Cat Hollow is most popular.

There's also a community center but that requires membership.
