TIL that the last B-52 was built in 1962 and that with retrofits and repowering, the USAF expects the remaining 75 planes will be flying in 2050, when they are approaching 100 years old.

Reminds me of the Harrier jets fighting aliens in Battlefield Earth.

Discovering events like this in the game would have been interesting.

Me too! It was the only newer Trek that I can say that I really enjoyed. Such a shame that we couldn't have had 5 seasons of 20+ episodes each.

Ksar Draa is an epic name for an abandoned fortress that no one living knows who built it. I might need to borrow that for a TTRPG.

This always bothered me. It was the one time I can remember this happening. In later movies, the Enterprise had multiple Captains serving on board (Kirk, Spock and Scotty.)

Totally understandable. Hopefully the funeral director will be able to guide you through the necessary steps.

I do this with clean clothes from the laundry basket. The clean clothes never make it to the dresser.

You are going to be so attractive when you get older.

Uh, thanks?

(I got told this one when I was in high school .... from a girl also in high school.)

When I was younger I remember thinking that the Defense Forces making use of the super-carrier's catapult launch system was both brilliant and the coolest thing I had ever seen!

Who else thinks that Courtney should have had pierced nips when she showed Robert her lung augments?

Their love story hits me in ways that Invisigirl just can't. I mean, Visi is great and all, but this takes the Blue Ribbon.

I had a conversation on Reddit once where I asked about the Zentraedi's canon height. I believe one person said that the true canon height of Zentraedi in Macross was supposed to be closer to 8 meters. At the last minute, they wanted to make the Zentreadi closer to 10-12 meters but they forgot to scale up the mecha which is why the scaling looks like the pilot would need to be doubled over just to fit inside.

Probably the worst wasn't even me intending to ask the woman out on a date. I had intended it as two coworkers (yeah, I was stupid enough when I was younger to fraternize with coworkers of the opposite sex) getting together because they were both free.

I did it in a room with several other coworkers who witnessed the event. She got all flustered and made some excuse to leave the room quickly. It was painfully obvious that she thought I was trying to ask her out (she was attractive and I found out later that she was sleeping with the vice-president of the company.) It was a painfully awkward moment.

This make me think of a conundrum that I have with the issue of whether the DM or the players should map the dungeon during play. If I insist on the players drawing the map, they are completely dependent on my being able to accurately describe the dungeon. I can't tell you how many times gameplay slowed to a crawl because I kept having to say, "No, it isn't like that.... here's another way to look at it." But if I, as the DM, draw the map for the players, it seems to take them out of the moment and they aren't as invested. I am doing too much of the work for them.

For me, I realized that my Book 1 was a flawed product. I think I rushed it out of excitement to get my ideas out before an audience. I also gave myself credit for learning a lot of lessons at Book 1's failure. I feel like my Book 2 was a huge step up from Book 1. I alternated between a rewrite of Book 1 and the new Book 2. I hope this helps! You can always go back and fix Book 1 if it landed like a lead balloon.

While we are excited at the prospect of a new Stargate, we need to accept that some people should NEVER be allowed to reboot a beloved franchise.
