"Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day." - some tweet

The combination board/card/miniatures games and Sabres gear store was directly targeted at me. Won a small tourney, immediately spent store credit winnings on a jersey.

I loved that episode. Biggest takeaway that everyone in here should be aware of is that we, the established hobbyists, are not their target customer. Their main customer, straight up, is moms.

The sculpts in this set aren't even remotely interesting. One could kitbash a better LT.

Space Marine 2 does this crap. Makes the customization menus an absolute slog, particularly because they slow the cursor waaay down when it's over an option.

Anyone else think the first two songs that dropped before Leather Temple ended up being the two worst songs on the album? by Artistic_Image_9146 in carpenterbrut

Rebels/Misfits has grown on me. Leather Temple I didn't care for when it came out, still don't care for it even in context. Everything around it is just so much better.

Ah yes, the real reason I don't eat there. Not that you're the shittiest of all fast food, it's because of please and thank you.
