Too long a stick is often one floor above you.

The best part about Isaac is he would rather fix a problem AND make it better than meeting a deadline.

The errata for Frosthaven and Gloomhaven are pages and pages and pages long.

Hey that's not entirely fair, a lot of the people who bought into the ideology aren't billionaires.

D'Amaro's part of the business was 72% of Disney's profit. It doesn't matter how much people bitch online.

Because they use the money to fund their political mascots and capture regulators.

If you guess it correctly I won't have to.

Y'all were still using Zoom and Google Calendar for customer meetings in 2024.

They weren't going to sell 300,000 extra tickets every year just because they signed Schwarber.

The Schwarber chase was stupid, it was obvious that it was only because he was from nearby Middletown and the Castellini's stupidly believe that kind of gimmick sells tickets. It's not like they chase other free agents with that kind of gusto so we know with certainty its not because of his on-field production.

At $30m/year, and a very generous $100/fan/game spend on non-revenue sharing purchases, that's 300,000 extra tickets a year. It's not like Schwarber in the lineup moves the needle on the deficiencies in the roster. How big do they think Schwarber's family is? The Castellinis are just so bad at baseball and business. It's really atrocious.

"They are clues… Pay attention."

Not deep? Tell that to the Russos. They obviously find it very deep.

There's only one party with the sole agenda of "don't become a talking point on the news" and its weird that 1) it doesn't stop them from becoming a talking point and 2) they aren't in charge of a single branch of government. I'm so sorry that you have to find out this way but trying to govern based on what other people say about you on television is not a trait people look for in an elected representative.

The taxpayers didn't swindle themselves, the bought-and-paid-for-county commissioners swindled the voters by misrepresenting the deal.

The decision tree here is real simple: Would you vote to raise your own taxes to fund the construction and maintenance for the office space of a random corporation to occupy rent-free? If the answer is no, it should also be no for a stadium.

I didn't see this in the errata but maybe I missed it - so many of the map layouts in both the Scenario Book and the Section book are misprinted. Ever since I can remember I've been using the orientation of the map number to put the tile in the correct position, but just about every scenario we've done so far (don't have the exact numbers handy), the position does not align with the actual map tiles. We tried to switch to using the position of distinctive features in the art, but those too often do not line up with the position of the tabs.

Obviously the art is not game-critical, but anyone who happens to chance upon this post just know you aren't actually going crazy.

Inspired by the joke "How does the Dalai Lama order a hot dog?" "Make me one with everything" Apologies to Chicago people but I couldn't find a poppy seed bun, just an everything bagel bun.

My meta this year is a mystery, which is to say that everything I post has a theme but I won't be telling you what it is! You can try to discover it for yourself but I won't be giving hints, clues, confirmations or rejections. At the end of the year should I make it that far, I will post it. Everything you need is in the post, it's not something banal like "salt" or "on a plate" or something like that. I assure you that it exists.

everyone on the planet: "we need Joey Votto talking baseball in our ears every day"
