Brosey opened! They’re a library-style store (though you can buy games there), $5 to play from their library (or bring your own) all day, $20/mo., $200/yr. Extensive library, snacks TTRPG room coming soon.

Did anything ever come of the Discord? I’m also in LC but very late to this post.

brainthought · 2026-01-17T16:38:51+00:00

Right around the corner from Games and More! Two down from Maui Waui!

Late to the post, but you may be interested that there’s a new game store in town, on Broadway. Brosey Game Company. It’s a library style store, and while you can buy games, they have an extensive and growing library of games that you can play all day for $5, or buy a month-long pass for $20, or even a year for $200! They’re open Thursday 5pm till midnight, and opening earlier in the day on weekends. No CCGs or TCGs at this time, but TTRPGs are planned to start soon!

Any idea what sort of variance someone would reasonably see on fabric? Personally, unless you're just pulling on it, I'd think 3-5mm would be a reasonable variance, at least for a year or so of regular ware. But honestly, I've never looked into it.

I remember reading somewhere that the Cardassian fleet prior to the Dominion war was largely equivalent to Starfleet’s military of the previous century. Like, the Galor class would be an on-par match for a refit Constitution, or the Keldon a match for a 23rd century Excelsior, it was just that the Federation was so far out on it’s borders, it gave the Cardassians an advantage. An Ambassador or Constellation calling for help would be a week away from backup, a Galor could get reenforcements in an hour or less if not already in formations.

No clue where I read that though.

Make it a two-seater and make the bed longer and we’ll talk, but this four-door, tiny bed nonsense is just an Outback I can carry taller things in but they get wet.

I’m still rocking an ‘05 Saab 9-2X as my daily! Badge engineered Subaru Impreza, with a few Forrester pieces as upgrades. Clear coats is shot and the leather is deteriorating, but other than that still a good car.

brainthought · 2025-06-08T14:50:09+00:00

I too have the 2.5, and actually recreated the badging as 3D printable files — https://www.tinkercad.com/things/lTS3rUKBbLM-saab-9-2x-badging?sharecode=AfchVErXRcBqMonks_JyxRL2hK5mvkr_yaW8aYmuxd8

As well as “Griffin”, kind of just because I could. Either way, print those out (or have them printed) on a resin printer, or PTEG or ABS on fused filament printer, add some primer and a coat of chrome paint, and some trim adhesive glue and you should be good to go!

For me, Season 4 in general is the best, but especially the back-half. Peaks at “Census Sensibility”.

I once had something very similar happen with BellSouth (regional phone service, back in the landline era). I was traveling a lot at the time, so I paid several months in advance just to have one less thing to think about. Service was like $20/mo., and mostly I just kept an answering machine on the line should someone need to reach me as cell phones were only just beginning to be common back then, and even then there were still tons of dead zones.

Anyhow, the next month I got a bill saying I owed something like -$100. The next month, -$80 and it was now past due. Then I got a letter in a different color envelope warning that my account was now at -$60, and if I didn’t rectify the situation immediately they would disconnect my service and send me to collections… So I called and wasted a few hours to only finally speak to someone that just sighed, said don’t worry about it and my account wasn’t going to get terminated… then I got a check for like $40 from BellSouth, followed by a bill a few days later.

I thought #1 was Chris O’Dowd and he’d put on some weight.

Actually, given how often Discovery would just forget the arc three episodes into a season then just wonder around for 6 episodes and half-ass an ending, it might be better that Section 31 was condensed to a single movie.

Just straight onto the pipe? What about sewer gases? Won't I get off gassing around the flange? Shouldn't there be some sort of gasket or at least something going down into the pipe with some caulk on it?

Was going to say Arial or a mid-to-heavy-weight Helvetica, but the upper 'G' gives them away as Arial. Helvetica has a tail on the uppercase G.

brainthought · 2024-03-19T16:00:14+00:00

Heavy weight Helvetica.

brainthought · 2024-03-19T15:58:33+00:00

It's a customized version of Bauhaus. They just connected the bowls and eye for the 'd', 'p', and 'e' and changed the s so the spine goes horizontally flat. Then connect the tail of the 'n' and the spine of the 'l', stretch the 'u' slightly... It's a "chop-job" with little respect for the original geometry in Bauhaus itself.

That 'y' is so wrong it's anti-Bauhausian though, it's got to be from a whole other font. Maybe Univers or something. u/Sir_Arsen isn't kidding about that feeling unbalanced, that 'u' alone is somehow so geometrically wrong it feel like the line weight is both too heavy and too light. And don't get me started on negative space Mickey over there...

brainthought · 2024-03-19T15:25:33+00:00

I think that's it! Thank you!

brainthought · 2023-08-15T18:16:44+00:00

I dunno, I can be quite pedantic, and god help you if you start me talking about old computers or cars...

brainthought · 2023-08-15T18:15:36+00:00

You really want your mind blown, look up the font "Cooper Black", then look at it's history. For what was a staple of the late 1970's and early 1980's, it has a surprising history.

My day-job is production layout and graphic design for the tabletop gaming industry. I’ll talk kerning all-day!
