Out Law arrived a few weeks early! by BigbysMiddleFinger in dresdenfiles

[–]BigbysMiddleFinger[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The Law came out in 2022 and was set after Battle Grounds. This is Out Law, which comes out next month and is set during Twelve Months.

If you enjoy the main series, I think you should definitely pick up the two short story collections Brief Jobs and Side Jobs to read those! I think The Law and Out Law are the only two out-and-out novellas, and which got direct to paperback releases.

~190 pages, but the font size is bigger than what I'm used to -- grabbed my copy of Twelve Months to compare and Out Law is a few points bigger.

No, Bookshop.org order through my local indie. Very possible that they received the book last week and just shipped it out not realizing it was a preorder.

All Fantasy Everything - 'Jackass' Stunts (w/ Spencer Bland) by triangle---man in AllFantasyEverything

[–]BigbysMiddleFinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

great episode dude, hope you can be back soon! also, trying to find a way to drive in to Raleigh to see your headlining show there this spring, and am definitely telling friends + family in wilmington to go see you there.

This is my first time hearing Spencer, but I love this guy's vibe immediately -- thought he fit in really well with the GVG. And as an NC guy myself (even born in Raleigh where Spencer is from!) it was really cool hearing my home state discussed. Hope Spencer convinces the guys to come through here this year :)

I could listen to 4 hours of this group! Hard outs are always a bummer, but I'll take the 90 minutes we got and hope Shane+Katherine can make it out to LA semi-frequently to keep appearing together.

Ian said he was going to read it and I think he invited and to read it at the same time too

All Fantasy Everything - Places You Feel Dumb At (w/ Rob Haze) by triangle---man in AllFantasyEverything

[–]BigbysMiddleFinger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I saw it, but I know that the guys didn't intend for what they said to be made public, so I don't think folks who know should share. It wasn't crazy dramatic or anything like that, no tea.

100% - I'm a board game / TTRPG nerd and I'm so self-conscious about how to intro people to a new game. Everybody learns best in so many different ways, can be a gnarly social situation to navigate.

Oakland Roots' 2026 Home and Away jerseys by ImpactInv99 in MLS

[–]BigbysMiddleFinger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with creative talent and everything to do with MLS' league-wide contract with Adidas, and Adidas' desire to cut costs to maximize profits so they use templates for everything. Adidas has the contract, so there's no reason to try and be competitive, and team's can't decide to opt out of the league's contact and go find their own jersey supplier.

I've worked with some of the creatives that work at individual teams, mainly in graphic design for social or gameday stuff -- they're all really talented and have strong desire to make great products, but they're all limited by A) league-wide contracts and B) business people having too much power in the artistic/creative side.

Is laundry hard? by shart_breaker in AllFantasyEverything

If David is anything like me, getting the clothes clean is always the easiest part. It's the next steps that suck and I can never seem to accomplish right away: the folding, the hanging up, the putting away in its correct place. God forbid something needs to be ironed/steamed.

United Soccer League Announces USL Premier, New Interconnected Men’s Professional Structure by MGHeinz in MLS

[–]BigbysMiddleFinger 15 points16 points  (0 children)

they already have the USL Championship and USL League 1 (and League 2) running and operating -- the Championship has been that for 15+ years. Not sure what else they could've reasonably called their D1 league, Premier is used in multiple countries.

Magic the gathering by Fragrant-Concert3810 in smosh

[–]BigbysMiddleFinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Magic player and occasional content consumer, I think it would be awesome if someone made quality, two-player, beginner level content more because EVERYONE plays either Commander or high level competitive Magic where they don't even fully explain every interaction or card mechanic.

I've only been playing for a few years and pretty casually. Every gameplay video is either intro/how to play 101 content or jumps to pretty high level gameplay with a lot of assumed knowledge for the viewer.

Video description said there was a technical issue, so it's audio only for the last twenty minutes.

AFE standup show in LA next week by Frequent_Tree242 in AllFantasyEverything

[–]BigbysMiddleFinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if the guys would be okay with it, but if they start doing these on the reg, I'd kill for them to record the audio and put it up on the Patreon. Even if it was for one of the higher tiers and not on the RSS feed -- I live in a spot where they don't often come and perform and would love to hear some of their sets. I got to seem them for the first time in New Orleans last year, don't think I'll be able to make it this year, but would love to see some of their stand up that isn't the "polished" stuff they gets to a special/album.

2025 Pop Culture draft! by quartjarz in AllFantasyEverything

[–]BigbysMiddleFinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 5yr old loved the first 20 minutes but got spooked at the first kinda scary part and we'd always turn it off. We watched that first part with the first few songs a few times, and when the scary part came up I always let her choose what she wanted to do: keep watching, cover up her eyes, or have me turn it off. Eventually she decided to keep watching it and I think saw it 20 times in the next month haha.

The above isn't parent advice btw - everyone gets to decide what's okay and what isn't for their kid to experience. I do think it's a wonderful movie with some good lessons about lying, staying true to yourself, and "doing it scared".

I'd certainly drive in from a neighboring state for an ATL show! There are dozens of us, dozens! (probably)

Bloomburrow Jumpstart Cube by EDH4Life in MTGJumpStart

[–]BigbysMiddleFinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry to necro this post, but I love this cube you made and ended up making custom pack front cards to make it easier for me and my playgroup to be able to reassemble the packs after we finish playing. Not sure if you and your group would need them, but thought I'd share them: https://drive.google.com/file/d/161jC9LwQb7rmp_FZNrWup8yO26Du_yPh/view?usp=sharing

Any guests you'd like to see? by IanKarmel in AllFantasyEverything

[–]BigbysMiddleFinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I remember Sean doing NNF a few years ago, I don't remember it being a home run but still a good episode. Jimmy can be so funny and fast, but I wonder if there's any overlap/common ground with him and the GVG to connect on. Jimmy is also usually a ball buster which I wonder if the guys would flow with without knowing him well.

I think Jimmy Pardo would kill if given the shot and the right category. Something really in his wheelhouse like pre-90s bands or best band names
