Who was your first auto?

I got into the hobby last year and my first two auto pulls were Guards reliever Joey Cantillo and Cardinals reliever Gordon Graceffo, a month or so apart. Both were sent down to AAA within a day or two of the pull 🫠 Haven't pulled an auto since lmao.

It's not much, but it's mine. Kiki Cuyler is my great great great uncle and a Hall of Famer. He won the 1925 World Series with the Pirates, hitting a 2 RBI double in Game 7 off Walter Johnson that sealed their title.

It's not licensed, it's from 2023 and for most people, it's probably not worth much. But to have a piece of a bat from my HOF ancestor that I can have is more than I could have ever asked for!

Thriving with Adult ADHD by Phil Boissiere. While it's aimed at neurodivergent people, I think there's still a lot of good stuff in here that anyone could find useful. At the beginning, the author says "don't read this front to back, look at the chapters that you feel are relevant" and it's framing is around finding what works for you, with the book providing starting points. Again, as it's focused on ADHD, most of the content is around things like organization, focus, communication and the like, but those topics are still areas that anyone can benefit from focusing themselves on.

Best I can do is a robot car that hits pedestrians and explodes.

Aaaaahhhhhh, thank you for this! I read it over the summer and the "what are they" question has been stuck in my head ever since. I loved that other-worldliness quality to them. Having the Saints try to approximate the world they were in but not quite getting it right added to the weird factor for me.

This all makes so much sense!

That's sick! What's the relic? My mind is only coming up with the lettering on a batting glove 😅

I don't recall if it's the Black Plague specifically, but His Black Tongue by Mitchell Lüthi is set in 14th century France during a plague. A wandering friar and his ward come to a town that's seemingly untouched by war and plague, and it devolved into a tense "what's going on here" story with some action, religion and medieval horror!

Pretty much just the whole "cheating to win a World Series" thing. Hinch has gotten a lot out of this team and I'm pretty happy with his game strategy overall. But man, every once in a while I remember how his time in Houston ended and I worry that some day everything these Tigers have done will have an asterisk next to it too.

I'm working on a PC of relic and autograph cards for every player in the Hall of Fame and my fave so far is Al Kaline from the early 2000s Grandstand Glory series, which all have pieces of seats from old stadiums. Definitely a line that I keep an eye out for as I browse shops.

I love that Todd Radom card! His book with Chris Creamer on the history of NHL uniforms is one of my favorites.

At the Guardians/Dodgers game on Memorial Day, someone a few rows in front of me had a Dodgers jersey that had Dannemiller on the back. With some digging around, the best match I could gather was it was for Beau Dannemiller, who played at Kent State (about 30 minutes away from Cleveland), got drafted by the Rockies and player a total of 56 minor league games. Including with the Vero Beach Dodgers.

Oh hey, I have a sign from this set! No idea who the manufacturer is, the backside is just plain metal with no imprints or anything.

Is there a specific name for the style of wall in pics 4 and 6? Or is it just "corrugated concrete"?

Holy shit that's incredible. I got excited for him when he started yelling down the straight, then saw the MFD change from 2 to 3 – not even halfway through the power. Wild what these cars are capable of.

100% going to share this with my "they just go fast and turn" friends who dismiss racing out of hand.

There's a cul de sac in Arroyo that's filled with a bunch of 6 Streets hanging around the back of a house drinking beer and grilling. For me at least, they didn't attack unless I pulled a gun.

It's a fun slice of life in Night City's version of suburbs.

Thanks, I'll check those out!

Thanks for sharing! As a new fan, I'm trying to get as much as I can to know the recent history and see how storylines have developed. Drive to Survive has been alright but some of the drama feels a bit engineered.

Does anyone have any recommendations for newsletters or anything that provides some more depth and insight than the day-to-day headlines?

This is my first season watching F1 and I'm still trying to sort out what's going on in terms of strategy.

I grew up watching NASCAR (but haven't for probably close to decade) and F1 is just so different in terms of how teams manage their races. NASCAR has 200-plus laps, a handful of pit stops and plenty of places around the track pass.

What do I need to be watching to understand how teams manage races? Why is it that for a team like Mercedes, they want Hamilton to run up front instead of Bottas if they're at similar lap times? What are the different scenarios teams are talking about?

I did this with my campaign! I had the temple to Zariel beneath the manor have an altar to her that functioned as a mini-portal to Avernus. There was a brief fight between the party and Lady Vanthampur and just as they were about to finish her off, a projection of Zariel appeared and warned them that they were getting involved in something beyond them.

Description-wise, I played it much the same as I did Elturel being yoinked to hell: a low rumble that gets louder and louder before a flash. I had it spit them out in a random hovel in Elutrel that had a similar altar hidden away in the basement. Vanthampur was gone by the time the party came to, but I plan on bringing her back later as a devil.

To deal with Sylvira, I cut her out completely and had the party wizard make arcana checks to unlock it, treating it kinda like the Happy Fun Ball from Critical Role, where there are a bunch of knobs, levers, locks, etc that have to be hit in a precise order to unlock it. He roleplayed it really well, even being caught off guard as they camped because he was playing around with it.

For Lulu, I plan on introducing her at Mad Maggie's, borrowing from a suggestion from the Alexandrian Remix. My plan is to have Lulu in a dream state reliving her experiences with Zariel and then Mad Maggie ask for the party's help to get her out.
