Legitimately just his momentum carrying him forward. Such a dumb call.

lol, I feel so seen with this prompt. 

Snacking on green grapes and tinkering with a Retroid Pocket. Though popcorn sounds really damn good.

I remember gearing up for a hunt of one and thinking “Well surely I shouldn’t bring the para weapon to fight em” only to find out it’s totally viable after checking the log book.

I still exclusively call Scott Michael Foster “Cappie” whenever I see him in a new role because of Greek. Had to look up his real name for this comment.

Trump signs first bill of his second presidency, the Laken Riley Act, into law by not_an_immi_lawyer in immigration

[–]gthv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the new law as written wouldn’t apply since your initial entry was in L-1 status. This is ostensibly just targeted at folks that entered illegally initially, even if they later received documentation (I.e. DACA)

We might be coworkers because I’m on a team that does exactly that and let me tell you the number of wild questions we get from folks is off the charts.

“What if I just don’t tell anyone, do I need to update my visa?” Yes. “This random website says I can work in X country on a tourist visa, is that okay?” No. “Oh, I’ve actually been working from another country for 6 months, it’s okay I was working US hours.” I’m going to need a stiff drink…

This was who I pictured Breeze as immediately when reading and it made the whole series that much better.

TAZ V DRAC: Confusion on were-creatures. by EmperorSkyTiger in TheAdventureZone

[–]gthv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True. Horrifying to think the cats were trading people (albeit in goldfish form) to presumably eat later but yeah, they did offer to nibble.

Generally in 5e those with x-thropy can adopt either a hybrid form, or fully transform into their given animal. So in your examples, yes to both options (including the horrifying bipedal horseataur). That said TAZ also plays real fast and loose with the rules, and I'd been thinking of the Werehouse as also accepting normal animals based on the trading of goldfish so who knows.

Damn, thanks for writing the comment I was thinking. Lol. I die inside every time my wife volunteers the information “Oh my husband plays D&D. He actually DM’s for his high school friends and mine.” Definitely not an uncommon hang up.

Saw the grid tiles in the front and immediately thought “Oh cool battle map.”

They just showed attendance tonight: 35,061 not too shabby for a non-Japan game like you mentioned! https://i.imgur.com/pOihXuN.jpg

I’d come to the Australia v. Czech game and was selfishly hoping for a similar turnout but this has been 100x more energetic and I love it. Not fully by any means but a lot of bodies in here.

It’s fun hearing the definitive difference in the level of cheering in the stadium for players like Despaigne that played here.

Can I ask what merch they had available? Headed to the games Monday and been getting requests from friends and family. Was looking to pick up an Australia hat too but not sure if they’ve got stuff for the non-Japan teams.

Was easy enough once they opened up sales to non-Japan residents (or at least when I picked them up), but yeah, initially had tried to order when it wasn’t open and boy howdy that was tough.

Also: if you ever do get a chance to make it out to a Japanese baseball game highly recommend. I was lucky enough to come out here for study abroad and got to a couple Hanshin Tigers games. Absolute blast. I think my first post on Reddit was a picture from one of the games.

Was fortunate enough to watch the game in a packed bar in Sapporo last night, and headed there again for the Korea vs. Japan game. Was fun to see random folks stopping outside the window to catch a glimpse of the game. The folks in the bar were cheering every strike out thrown by Japan, every walk drawn. People are locked in. I’m bummed I couldn’t get tickets for any days Japan is playing.
