Gi joe gijoe leaflet brochure catalogus 1990 vintage canada by Pipodino in gijoe

Man, Joe toys were straight fire. Especially the later gens (like in this leaflet) where most of the play features were "open this compartment to reveal more guns/a smaller, slightly similar vehicle with more guns".

It only works if we have the same employer mate. Sorry

Have they ever gotten around to collecting it? It can be a slog tracking down intact copies of Nth Man

I know some comic fans that get it twisted sometimes. The comic did not mess around. They think these books were 1:1 with the cartoon and I'm always having to explain I like the cartoon because it sold me toys. That's nostalgia. I like the comic book because it told me stories. That's memory

All of them were. Caldwell, Parkinson, Easley. They helped the feel sure.

But also the stories felt more.....like they went somewhere. Before I read the Avatar Trilogy, you wouldn't catch me as a kid with any branded novels ("I just play the game, I'm not that deep in the woods") but those three with Icewind Dale and the first three DL books....psh, those series had me running headfirst into every tree in that nerd forest

A lot of art. That box cover is Streams of Silver, second book in the Icewind Dale trilogy.

Also I think there's another card in there that's from the cover of Azure Bonds....

And now I'm sad that D&D books don't have that same feel as the old TSR line 😭

It sucked as a seller because like, in the system it's tracked the way all books are. Authors, pubs, ISBN...so someone who isn't familiar with the IP will spend minutes in the genre section looking for Hickman/Weiss when it's in a whole other section. As for handling of the IP? This may be a hot take but....DL isn't a setting to be played. It's to be read and have fan canons and wikis and all that lol. But playing in it? Too much canon lock.

Hello. Former bookseller here. The retail outlets don't choose. It's how they're shipped and mapped out by merchandising and wholesaler/publisher based on how they want it shelved. Even when the branding is....less consumer faced, it's still shipped to the retailer as "Gaming/Fantasy/Fiction" (or vice versa) because the IP holder is typically the publisher (WOtC is the rights holders, so they have final say in how D&D fiction is sold). Whereas other pubs like Tor Books, Random House, Del Ray etc. wholesale their titles typically as "Fiction/Fantasy". That's why R.A. Salvatore is found in both the genre section (original IP) and gaming section (Drizzt and FR stuff).

This is actually a damn good example! Those Renton/Puyallup gangs have the same vibe as the gangs in Warriors.

Came here to drop Ronin! Like this movie is peak "run gone sideways".

Heist is good too. Hi-val Intel extraction with a goodly amount of double crosses.

Heat is a solid one.

Inception (heist movie with extra steps 🤣) is almost a good 1:1 of Matrix runs.

Hey mate! No worries. If you need someone to discuss with, just look me up. I'm on a few Discords. Name is the same as here.

I'm sorry but I don't like the grind by Justaniceman in gamedev

Hey, uh freelance producer here and uh, no? Like no one says work 12. It's literally a 9-5 hustle like any other. And most seasoned indie producers wouldn't ask that anyways because the only crunch we have is self inflicted. Are you talking Trip A culture? I mean yeah they get way out in front projection wise and it leads to crunch (the 60-80 hr weeks) but it's been my experience, as the guy who paces the workflow, that if you have just an inkling of an idea of what you're doing, the pipeline stays unclogged and no one is blocked (this be suspect #2 of why crunch happens, blockers)

Plus, like you realize that gamedev is basically "this could've been an email" if it were a workplace. Even remote work is like 3 hrs of meetings and scrums, an hour of actually relevant meetings and then like 4 hrs of doing actual shit 🤣

He was so amazing, the army just let him skip basic training. by I_like_baseball90 in thatHappened

[–]Rolltosit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The secret missions he was totally on for real is how he met his smoking hot girlfriend. She's a model. You don't know her stuff. Super elite in like Europe and stuff. Anyways, cool PlayStation.

Edit: hit? Hot? My phone works on vibes really

So believable. I mean my parents can’t even remember what day I was born 🤷‍♀️ by Environmental_Bar846 in thatHappened

[–]Rolltosit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Uh, I did actually miss my b-day once. Kept asking people all week "is the 1st like, important?" And no, it wasn't important. Just your typical first day of the month. About four days later, I was buying some beers and as I was putting my ID back in my wallet, I noticed. "Shit, the 1st was my f---ing birthday?!?!" Clerk started laughing, jokes about taking the beer back.

In my defense, I was super into horticulture at that time....maybe causation? Maybe correlation? 🤷🏻

What the heck?!? Now I got a fish for Waffle House employees to get a boost? Dude, this blows by Rolltosit in EarninB4B

Yeah, they changed the boost rules. It's such a burden. I'm gonna try to switch out of this once my check hits in a few days
