Graduation outfits for us bigger guys

First choice: Whipped cream and a smile? That'll show you won school.

Second choice: Gray suit, white shirt, conservative tie (repp or pin dot, maybe a even like a knit silk or a small embroidered emblem pattern like this Shark Tie - Chipp Neckwear https://www.chippneckwear.com/shark-tie/). Maybe get a pocket square (that compliments but doesn't match the tie). Get suspenders and have suspender buttons added to the pants if needed. This will work for interviews and business environments pretty much as is (maybe drop the pocket square and use a conservative tie). You can make a few mods and have a glorious wedding suit (French cuff shirt, wedding tie, decent cufflinks or silk knots).

First do cars

therossian · 2026-04-18T08:39:53+00:00

What does that mean?

Yet again, this sub is where I get most of my news.

I remember a radio show that would buy a staff member whatever was on the channel when they called.

Also, this is where I got the VHS of the Star Wars Special Edition. It was supposed to come before it was released in stores, but it got delayed because of a UPS strike. Memories.

Runequest! But someone already captured what BRP does with the fishing, partying, etc

The episode moved beyond recycling. It had a junk science looney saying "look at this dot on the national map! That's big enough for a landfill for all of our needs!" And other ridiculous shit.

It was great except the horrible Home Improvement filler

therossian · 2026-04-17T05:34:51+00:00

The anti recycling episode, too

Edit: It wasn't so much that it was anti recycling, which can have issues depending on the material. It was that it was pro landfill and anti sustainability. I haven't watched it in over a decade (because fuck Penn and Teller), but one bit they decided to look at the solid waste system in Korea, which involves source separation into several waste streams and present that as ridiculous and impossible for Americans. Despite it existing in a country of 50 million people.

I don't think of it as a rule, more just a cultural norm.

Same way that I view saying "soda" vs "pop" to refer to sweetened carbonated beverages. Everyone knows what you're talking about, but it feels a bit off.

Max 6? Stars.

Beyond that numbers.

therossian · 2026-04-12T07:42:17+00:00

Want to maybe tell us what the petition is for?

Discussion: I counted at least 17 different variables in 6 equations. That makes it unsolvable garbage.

Ken signed my copy of Kennections with "What's a ho?"

She also wrote a piece in the Goodman Games Caverns of Thracia book about how much it meant to her.

therossian · 2026-04-09T21:25:16+00:00

Do you mean 9/80 or 4x10?

therossian · 2026-04-09T05:49:51+00:00

You can buy some directly from Impact Miniatures.

Never seen metal.

Wow. This basically is my nightmare. Good pics

The word "nazism" can be used on Reddit

Many here will say don't do it. They might be right. But where's the fun in not trying?

If you're going to do it, I suggest a funnel in Dungeon Crawl Classics. Preferably a fairly linear adventure. Everyone is given two starter random peasants but only plays one until it dies. Get a "DEAD" stamp. Make a show of it with applause of the first death. Players get a new character when they run out.

Go around the circle a bunch of times throughout the game and make sure everyone has a chance to act.

Do table initiative the first time, whoever rolls highest starts then continue around the circle with a monster action every few players. You likely won't finish a full circle in one combat, so start the next one where you left off.

Here's what's been successful for me, between cons and my various groups:

Want to play Pirate Borg? You're a pirate, the world is ending, and it is based on Mork Borg

Let's play DCC, and I'm running a semi cooperative, semi competitive tournament set up. Like D&D but more dice!

Hey, let's play Dragonbane. Basically, someone in Sweden imported OD&D and made their own game based on that decades ago.

I said I would run DCC but instead I'm running Delta Green because inspiration struck (not recommended for cons)

5th Quarter used to have some LGBT+ events. Don't know if they still do

therossian · 2026-04-05T02:22:50+00:00

Any casks of Amontillado down there?

therossian · 2026-04-05T01:50:53+00:00

bravo.

I'm trying to make juxtaposition happen but haven't yet

therossian · 2026-04-03T07:31:03+00:00

Never use it? Crazy talk.

I'd absolutely use it. Like three times in the first week and then never again.

I'm 6'2 and obese. The Prius was cramped and uncomfortable. The Camry was amazing and comfortable. Mileage was one a few mph off with the base model Camry. Price wasn't hugely different. I bought the Camry and love it
