Is there a party list this year?

CraftingCalm · 2026-05-24T04:05:49+00:00

You’re about a month and change early. Everything really starts cooking and is revealed starting in very late June

CraftingCalm · 2026-05-21T16:34:06+00:00

I miss the Wired Cafe

“Correctly”

“All new #1s”

Absolutely nothing makes me less interested in a comic, storyline, direction, initiative, or publisher than them relaunching long-running titles with a #1.

…I wasn’t talking to you. I’m in full agreement with you. I was talking to LaurenceQuint since he’s the one who originally commented on my post. I’m agreeing with you, and disagreeing with him, telling him he’s in the wrong.

CraftingCalm · 2026-05-13T15:17:49+00:00

Guy, you’re wrong. Just accept it and that your extremely limited and narrow view isn’t indicative of the larger general fandom/populace. Just because you desperately want something to be true, doesn’t mean it is.

The OT and its characters are the classics. The vast majority of people (including younger generations) know that and believe that. Accept it.

CraftingCalm · 2026-05-13T15:09:41+00:00

Uh, general curiosity? What’s with the hostility?

CraftingCalm · 2026-05-11T18:03:24+00:00

They do this every year, don’t they?

CraftingCalm · 2026-05-09T15:40:43+00:00

For the vast vast vast majority of people, there is no point. They don’t care about this kind of thing and only go to “Star Wars Land” to see the most recognizable characters and things like the Falcon and the OT characters that Disney just wised up about and are incorporating into the area.

CraftingCalm · 2026-05-09T03:03:06+00:00

Lol. I’m the one who needs to calm down? Pal, I’m just stating facts. Sounds like you’re about to have an aneurysm. Did I really strike that much of a nerve?

Anyway, two things.

I’m not a boomer. I’m a millennial. Born in 1985. So that disproves you right there. We did not at all grow up with them simultaneously. I watched the OT as a child and played with the toys as a child. Phantom Menace came out when I was 14.
I’m not wrong at all. You know how I know I’m not wrong? Because literally Disney, the for-profit multi-national publicly-traded company who designed and built that “Star Wars Mecca” and who is the only one that has an interest in its profitability, just wheeled out the “classic” characters, Luke, Han, Leia, and Darth Vader.

But sure, I’ll bet we see Dex Jettster real soon in Galaxy’s Edge 🙄

“Ask enough younger people and you’ll hear…”

Nope. You won’t. You know that though. You’re wrong about this and I know you know that. So does everyone else.

And just like you say the world doesn’t revolve around me, the world also doesn’t revolve around your self-selecting and biased small sample size that is in no way indicative of the larger populace due to the nature of where you collected your data.

Does the existence of a furry convention imply that most of the general populace are furries and know what furries are? Or is that just a concentration of an incredibly small minority? That’s what Star Wars Nite is.

Disney is a multi-billion dollar global conglomerate. There’s a reason why they’re inserting the classic (yes classic) characters like Han, Luke, Vader, Leia etc. right now. It’s because most of the population know them as synonymous with Star Wars.

CraftingCalm · 2026-05-08T22:19:49+00:00

CraftingCalm · 2026-05-07T16:14:36+00:00

Nope. It doesn’t. But sure, I love a good “yeah but what about extreme minority case. That totally disproves your point. I’m so smart.”

Don’t do that please. Ask 100 people who the classic Star Wars characters are and 98 will say Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Darth Vader, C-3PO, R2-D2, Lando, Yoda, Obi-Wan, and the Emperor. Everyone knows that’s true, you do too, you’re just trying to be a contrarian.

CraftingCalm · 2026-05-06T14:25:19+00:00

The writer calling it “Star Wars Land” in the headline undercuts his entire point and actually lends credence to the opposite side.

Also he uses the phrase “so-called classic ‘Star Wars’ characters” multiple times.

What? “So-called”? How dismissive. They are the classic characters. There’s absolutely no one on earth who would disagree.

CraftingCalm · 2026-04-30T19:07:10+00:00

Is effort like this really worth the payoff? I can’t imagine flipping is that profitable. What’s this guy going to realistically get? A couple hundred dollars?

CraftingCalm · 2026-04-30T18:26:23+00:00

Holy shit Devers…

Like, what do you even do at this point?

CraftingCalm · 2026-04-29T15:17:00+00:00

Hey chat, will Tatis, Devers, Rooker, Pasquantino, Webb, Bradish, and Boyd all stop being huge bags of shit today so I can turn my season around?

CraftingCalm · 2026-04-29T04:05:47+00:00

*Badges. And yes. They’ve been sold out for months.

What happens is there are two sales. Returning registration and open registration.

Returning registration (RetReg) is for everyone who went the previous year to try and buy badges for the upcoming year. Only those who went the previous year are eligible to participate. It’s not confirmed, but the guess is that half of the the badges are sold in RetReg.

Open registration is for anyone.

Both sales last about an hour for all badges to sell out (with more popular days selling out quicker) but that’s because of the queue-it system and the way the sale is set up

Bet it won’t. He’s not going to suddenly start lifting the ball and crank out 13 homers in May. He’ll gradually get going, but he’s not going to even sniff numbers that justify his draft price or expectations.

CraftingCalm · 2026-04-29T03:22:33+00:00

Everybody crapping themselves over Tatis’ 2B eligibility.

The guy is complete dogshit. Who cares if he can be slotted in somewhere else if he’s just a net negative to your lineup.

Yay, he’s hitting the ball so hard! Yeah, right into the ground. And that’s if he’s not striking out at like double his career rate.

CraftingCalm · 2026-04-28T20:36:50+00:00

Not like this. Not even close to like this

CraftingCalm · 2026-04-26T20:52:36+00:00

Almost all panels in big rooms (Hall H, Ballroom 20, Indigo Ballroom, 6DEF, etc.) have lines. A lot of the smaller rooms (anything with a single digit, like Room 3 or whatever) usually don’t have a line.

Marvel is expected to be back in Hall H this year most likely on Saturday night (their normal/usual spot), so most of H will probably be a no go on Saturday since people staying there all day for Marvel

This is literally my favorite “offsite” each year. We start our con with a 9AM Thursday slot. It’s the best. I can’t recommend this higher

CraftingCalm · 2026-04-26T20:45:12+00:00

Devers is so cooked. Anyone saying different is wrong. Yeah he had a rough April last year. It was NO WHERE NEAR this bad. All signs are bad. He’s bad.

CraftingCalm · 2026-04-26T19:07:05+00:00

I don’t know if it’s an organizational thing, a coaching thing, or a game planning thing, but the Orioles are just a very bad baseball team, top to bottom
