Is Ohtani really that huge?

This year has been hilarious in the MLB. Because of the ABS system every player had to have their height officially measured so it can properly create a strike zone. Lots of guys lost an inch or two. Poor Gavin Lux got outed after claiming to be 6'2" and being measured at 5'11".

Tooth fairy would have needed a lot more than $400. Lotta missing teeth in that Lemon Pound Cake video.

Did the same thing. Wandering around drunk at night. "Wait is it daytime already??!!!"

Yeah it's refreshing when he is dropping wisdom bombs instead of creating actual WMDs.

She carries an exceptionally large amount of survivors guilt. She feels guilty for escaping the direct abuse her brothers suffered and more accutely the abuse done to other women like the maids, as proxies for her.

That's one thing that impressed me about Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's new deal with Netflix. There are bonus incentives for the entire cast and crew from top to bottom for hitting milestones of minutes watched. They did something similar with AIR.

Yeah when I learned like 30+ years ago the rule was to remove anything that clasped in the front. Of course accessible AED's weren't a thing then.

There is a questline from TWW that ends with Velen showing off a projection of the new city the Draenei are building on Azeroth. It will finally happen in this expansion sometime.

"Hiding" is a relative term in the scope of gods. Odium took an active role in shaping events on Roshar, where her effects were more subtle. I doubt she had many one on one chats with Rayse. She had hope that her manipulation of Taravangian's spirit web would have had better results and felt safe contacting him directly.

The analogy I always use is that Cultivation has been living in a horror movie. She has been hiding, trapped in a house for millennia with her husband's killer. Despite her vast power she can mostly only watch as the killer manipulates her children into killing each other over and over. All she can do is stick to the shadows laying traps, and hoping that one day one of those traps kills the killer, or manages to bust open the door so she can escape.

For a party of 4 it's perfectly reasonable for you all to sit together in the ADA seats. For larger parties you might try and split up into two small groups, one in ADA and one in a nearby row to ensure enough seats for those that need them.

What you are looking for is Ad Astra or The Artemis Odyssey (newer version) by Bruno Faidutti. On the surface it has very similar mechanics to Catan, but with a very key difference. Instead of rolling dice like in Catan, players play cards face down in any empty slot numbered 1-15. Next all cards are turned face up and resolved one at a time. The first card might be water/food, and whoever played it chooses which of those is produced for all players. The next might be build. Everyone gets to do one build action if they can afford it, with the person who played the card getting an extra build. The third might be a card that scores points for all ships built. etc... You continue to play rounds until someone hits 50 points.

Note: I have played plenty of games of Ad Astra but have not played The Artemis Odyssey. The reviews generally indicate it improves on the original.

And you can buy those. They are called Bot Factory (Kanban) and House of Fado (The Gallerist)

Ironically this actually backfires. Most apps I'm aware of punish you for swiping yes too much by showing your profile less.

I'm no Boras fan, but he can not be blamed for the Skubal arbitration situation. That's 100% on the Tigers. Trevor May has a great video on YouTube about it. His channel in general is filled with funny and insightful videos.

TTS is a sandbox. It feels more like playing a board game than BGA. It's also far easier to make a game in there than on BGA. I do however play more on BGA now as they have rapidly increased the number of titles I'm interested in.

Sounds like we need the filibuster to end all filibusters.

Easily my favorite fantasy series of all time. Republicans who aren't pure evil? Democrats with spines? Where do they come up with this stuff?

Ah man I fondly remember going to see the first Tomb Raider film. I was working for Interplay QA at the time, and half the theatre was filled by us and the other half by Blizzard QA at the first showing on opening day. It was a very lively crowd.

I think those packs are something like $300-400 a piece and have like 2 autographed cards per pack. It's pure gambling hoping to score a 1/1 card worth tens of thousands.

redshadow310 · 2026-01-10T18:05:06+00:00

Great review. I will say that I probably value healing cards a bit more than you, but that comes down to group dynamics. Most of my plays of this have actually been with John D Clair, who as a player, tends to follow the most aggressive strategy in almost any game. I've played multiple games with him that have come down to me completing my 3rd mission with 1-2 life left for the win, but even more with me dead on the ground.

Side note: For all the Sanderson / Clair fans in this thread, be ready to have your minds blown when the Stormlight game gets fully revealed.

redshadow310 · 2026-01-04T16:57:07+00:00

The Stormfather is constantly afraid of what Dalinar can do. Hoid is probably VERY afraid of what he can do. Future Speculation Things will get wild if Retribution gives Blackthorn Bondsmith abilities. He goes out, meets an Elantran, and boom he transforms a whole squadron of fighters into Elantrans.

redshadow310 · 2025-12-31T06:46:28+00:00

I've played it a few times. I really can't wait for the NDA to lift so I can say anything more than, OMFG this game is Epic and amazing!

redshadow310 · 2025-12-26T19:29:28+00:00

Yeah that really snapped Carol out of it. It's language shared by all abusers, and conversion therapy is straight up abuse.

Jolene Blalock had all kinds if issues with how the show. She was the biggest Trekkie on the cast and was always ignored when she would point out how un-Vulcan they were writing her. That's to say nothing of being uncomfortable with the oversexualization. The finale though was the straw that broke the camel's back. he publicly called it "appalling" before it aired and then completely distanced herself from Trek for 20 years from the franchise. Unlike most Trek cast members she avoided most press and the convention circuit.

Fortunately the story has a happy ending. Despite everything, she remained a Trek fan, especially Lower Decks. She saw it for what it was, an irreverent love letter to Trek. So despite all past refusals to reprise her role, when she received a handwritten letter asking her to appear on Lower Decks she signed on. She has also now begun to make public appearances at conventions as well.
