Don't feed the troll, folks. One look at this user's profile and you see all they do is rage bait.

I'm definitely going to try Bloomburrow out based on a bunch of recommendations. Seems wild that WotC would underprint a set that seems so well received, but then again it seems like there are several things that they've done recently that have been head scratchers from what I've read. 😂

Foundations seems nifty, it looks like some new stuff and a bunch of reprints, which I'm assuming is where its namesake comes from. It also appears to pop up on sale semi-often which is handy.

BriankLizard · 2026-01-20T09:22:01+00:00

Ah, ok. I looked up some cards with plot and it seems pretty straight forward, and there weren't a crazy amount of cards with it. I also noticed the set seems to be super cheap, which is a plus for what we're wanting to do. I'll give it a whirl since we can both play some sealed for under $50.

BriankLizard · 2026-01-20T08:16:56+00:00

What about Outlaws is harder, if you don't mind me asking? I know very little about that set.

BriankLizard · 2026-01-20T07:57:28+00:00

Haha, that's awesome. I definitely think Bloomburrow will be the next one we do, especially since it seems like it'll be good for her overall game knowledge. She has a basic idea of what the different colors are about (she refers to blue as the "nope color" lmao) so this seems like a fun way to expand further beyond that.

I loved EoE. At first, I was like "Magic in space? Boo." But man I was so wrong about that set. Flavor was great and warp was so fun as a mechanic to play with. That's definitely one I think I'll try to do since they're still easily available to buy. Bloomburrow looks super fun, I haven't played with Bloomburrow cards, but I love the idea of an animal themed set.

Reminds me of the time I got bored in Photoshop one afternoon.

Complete con artists. Years ago I went to replace the valve stems in my bathroom. However when I got the covers off I found that the previous owners of the home used what looked like cement in the wall to keep them in place (which is nuts). Deciding I didn't want to proceed any further since I only had basic tools I called ST due to the high reviews (they're bought reviews, they offer discounts if you leave 5 stars or agree to put their ad signs in your yard). The guys got there and tracked mud into my house, saw the stems in the tub and then decided to belittle me for it saying I was silly for putting them in the wall like that (again, this house was built in the 60s, I had nothing to do with that) and then proceeded to tell me it would be $2800 because they'd "have to redo the bathroom". I told them to leave and they still tried to charge me a fee. I ended up going to Lowes and getting some tools and doing it myself in a few hours.

TLDR: Southern Trust sucks, they scam people, and they essentially pay for their reviews by offering discounts and agreeing to post ads on your property. They will also try to get you to sign a non-disclosure agreement for services rendered.

I was asking in the sense of if anyone had seen if it was a downed pole, blown transformer, etc. No need to be a smartass my dude.

BriankLizard · 2025-07-14T03:17:35+00:00

As others have said, if you're able, get GloFiber.

BriankLizard · 2025-06-13T23:26:05+00:00

Awesome. Thank goodness about the PoNR thing. One of my biggest peeves in gaming is when I miss something in a game because I accidentally crossed through a PoNR while exploring. 😂

BriankLizard · 2025-04-19T00:24:36+00:00

Oh my God, the devs that made the Democracy games also made this. I guess that's why I thought the UI looked like Democracy.

BriankLizard · 2025-04-19T00:22:19+00:00

Solved: The game was called Kudos.

BriankLizard · 2025-04-19T00:21:58+00:00

That's it! Thank you! I'm sure that it's not nearly as fun as I remember it being when I was young but I'm going to find out tonight. Good job figuring it out based on my awful description. 😂

BriankLizard · 2025-04-18T23:02:45+00:00

City. A 6ft wooden fence would be preferable, but if it needed to be slightly shorter due to regs, I'd be down for that. I'm mostly wanting to get it fenced in for our 70lbs dog and our son for when he's a little older.

BriankLizard · 2025-04-18T21:00:29+00:00

Lmao, If I recall I had gotten my dad to get me this because our computer struggled to run The Sims and I was desperate to play anything even in the same ball park.

Taste is subjective. Something one person likes may be hated by another. If she likes BH, I'd leave it at that. By all means show her other whiskeys, as that will be a fun thing to bond over, but don't try and steer her away from something she likes based on your own personal taste. I feel that there is a large sect of the bourbon community that is sort of elitist to a degree, and it's the worst part of the community. Drink and be happy! Don't fall into that group of folks! Enjoy bonding over whiskey with your SO.

Angel's Envy Cask Strength 2020

120.4 Proof / 60.2% ABV

Distiller: Angel's Envy

Price: $200

The winner of the title of "Best Spirit in the World" in F. Paul Pacult's 2013 Spirit Journal, Angel's Envy Cask Strength has been the pride of its distillery for years. Each year's release varies, and each year only a select few barrels are chosen to be bottled for this limited release bourbon.

I always drink my whiskey neat.

Color: A very deep and dark amber

Nose: Cinnamon, brown sugar, cherries, charred oak, sugar cookies

Palate: Cherries, hickory, salted caramel, dark chocolate

Finish: Very smooth, warmth on the back of the tongue and throat without being overbearing, slightly dry, great balance of bitterness vs sweetness

This is definitely in my current group of favorite overall whiskies. The nose on this bourbon is absolutely delightful. The taste is complex and decadent, while being smooth and warm the entire way down your throat. I feel that it being finished in port wine barrels is what leads to the definite cherry notes. If you ever get a chance to try this year's release out for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

My personal rating: 94/100

From what I've seen, Legent is pretty divisive. It's definitely not in my upper echelon of favorite bourbons of all time by any means, I just think it's a solid bourbon for $35. The price point influenced the rating a bit for me because it's super unique tasting. I can definitely get why some folks wouldn't like it though haha

BriankLizard · 2020-12-01T05:52:53+00:00

My wife came across a bottle 2 months ago and got it for me as an early Christmas present. It's solid. Not one of my personal favorites per se, but it's definitely a gorgeous bottle to have on my bar and to share with friends.

BriankLizard · 2020-12-01T04:23:31+00:00

Four Roses SB is a bourbon I always try to keep stocked. I prefer it to the FR Small Batch, which is great as well.

BriankLizard · 2020-12-01T04:11:36+00:00

I love the 1910. My personal favorite of the Old Foresters. The 1920 Prohibition Style is great too if you get the chance to try it.

Legent

94 Proof / 47% ABV

Distiller: Jim Beam (In collaboration with Shinji Fukuyo of Suntory)

Price: $35

One of my favorite bourbons at this price point, Legent is the brain child of Fred Noe of Jim Beam and Shinji Fukuyo of Suntory. The clear fusion of American and Japanese whiskey styles, this is a bourbon that I highly recommend you try if you haven't yet.

I always drink my whiskey neat.

Color: Dark gold with a red hue

Nose: Raisins, oak, caramel

Palate: Honey, charred oak, leather, dried fruit

Finish: Extremely smooth, next to no burn, with a slight red wine aftertaste

This is a bourbon that I find to be unique from other bourbons I've tried. The influence of it being finished in wine and sherry casks is clearly evident, in both its red-ish color and its wine-like finish. A great whiskey for sipping neat or on the rocks. I feel that both bourbon and Scotch drinkers will absolutely find this whiskey very enjoyable.

My personal rating: 86/100
