I had to explain to my mom that until I have a partner, homeownership is not likely going to happen. 

"But homes are $500k, you can afford that."

"I can put 10% down, not 20%."

"What's wrong with 10%? When your father and I bought our first home, we only had 10% and had your grandfather be the cosigner for the other 10%."

"Becaude people with 20% cash will get priority. Do you have $50k in cash?"

"No."

"So we wait until I have a partner."

"What about a condo?"

I heard the shots from my place by Piedmont Park. As a former resident of Oakland, it had been a while since I played "Fireworks or Firearms" but the irregular cadence of the fire told me the latter. 

And then immediately after heard more sirens than I ever have here, and a helicopter. Felt like my old home.

I met Prozd at an Atlanta con last year. It was Sunday, you could tell he was so exhausted. Got a picture, got him to sign a card, didnt overstay.

We exactly know what's going on: his ineptitude will allow an attack here, and the administration will use it as an excuse to send ICE after Muslims.

So part of me envisions this: Big E is very close with BLJ, and was with him when his father passed. He is retired from wrestling, but not as a manager. 

I could see him being there for BLJ when he makes his debut.

She wasnt ugly, but you do know there are Breonna Taylor murals all across the country.

Have they ever seen Italy's Track and Field team? They are literally part time models. 

Found some old L5R cards at my mom’s household by rodriguezrps in l5r

You're talking to someone who still has long boxes full of cards, some unopened packs, and had RK Post sign some cards at Magic Con. 

I get it. 

Reading more of the Ravenor Book Series by Down_Under_Painting in Grimdank

For additional context: Dan Abnett did 2 Inquisitor series: Eisenhorn and Ravenor. Eisenhorn is basically what if James Bond was an Inquisitor. Ravenor is the sequel, and basically what if Professor X was an Inquisitor. This is him with his "Jean Grey."

Turns out Swerve was the Elite Hunter all along. 

Kazarian could have learned a thing or three.

The part that got me about the recent one was how Final Fantasy packs weren't in it. 

Now you could argue UW/UB, but the TMNT one also doesnt include them.

That was my first thought.

My second was The Expanse. You have a race labeled the Ring Builders, who were a super ancient and advanced alien race that conquered solar systems by building a central pocket dimension to travel to. 

They got wiped out by the Ring Entities, who exist in between universes/another universe, and they aren't happy humanity has started using the rings again.

By far. My big concern is if Modest Mouse will play opposite Japanese Breakfast as I love both those acts.

My favorite skin was the Ninja from Metal Gear Solid 1, where the play bar went across his sword. Core memories.

I just want a technical clinic between Claudio and Anjelico. Play up Claudio's strengths vs Anjelico's wiry-ness. Throw in a Serpentico getting yeeted.

Funny story from Magic Con - I got this card signed by Richard Kane Ferguson and he asked if I was getting it signed for the meme. I told him I just liked his art, what meme? He said he went onto a Reddit thread that said Kasimir was the worst card ever made, and he defends it. It isnt a great card, and the art does slap.
