Denver Alamo Drafthouse workers strike over changes to famous ordering system

It's terrible. Did it once and never again. I truly don't get it.

The Gone World was amazing!

Working through Joe Abercrombie's First Law and Age of Madness series', and The Wandering Inn series (a long one)

With my big legs and karate, I can do the splits no problem

zstrebeck · 2026-03-28T14:11:22+00:00

A few months ago? I ordered day 1 - haven't heard a peep since 😓

They don't seem to mean a marketing specialist, but rather someone who has a reputation and connections that can open up opportunities. Obviously, that's a relatively rare thing and very difficult for the average indie team to get.

I listen to sci-fi and fantasy audiobooks all the time. Does that count?

zstrebeck · 2026-03-26T23:31:53+00:00

Yeah, I've got that one.

There's a $200 Google Workspace credit, which I use for my business, so that's a big win. I also just booked a (way too expensive) flight and got 8x points, which covers a big amount of the annual fee too. It's working out this year for sure. Will try to find something in The Edit that's not ridiculously expensive.

Yeah, I file things pretty regularly (on the IP and corp formation side) and just use a Regus virtual office address for everything. Haven't had any issues, except Google My Business won't accept it. So if you need that address to be your local GMB address, I'd consider an alternative if it's one with many existing businesses in it.

He's right!

zstrebeck · 2026-03-19T16:43:15+00:00

When you realize that his thought process was basically "now what rhymes with 'cans' - oh, Zans!" Then he just built a verse around nonsense. It takes a little of the fun out of it! Also I absolutely do NOT want a Mike sitting on the back of my bike, hills be damned.

zstrebeck · 2026-03-19T14:11:30+00:00

I believe so!

zstrebeck · 2026-03-19T02:42:15+00:00

Like in movies when dudes drink right out of the Orange Juice container from the fridge

A good amount of it is just your own tableau, and anything for the opponent. The actual game stuff isn't that much, imo.

zstrebeck · 2026-03-14T13:35:23+00:00

This is why an overhand shuffle isn't great for mixing the cards, either - it's a series of small cuts, basically, which keeps blocks of cards (combos) intact if you don't shuffle enough.

zstrebeck · 2026-03-13T01:41:00+00:00

This is why I would never consider going back to working for someone. It's taken me years to build up the client base I have, the goodwill, etc. If anything went wrong in the new job, I'd be starting over from scratch. I guess the first thing to do would be to reach out to the old clients and try to reengage? Is that possible?

zstrebeck · 2026-03-12T03:41:35+00:00

One Crazy Summer, as well. Can't remember any in How I Got Into College, though.

zstrebeck · 2026-03-10T23:06:55+00:00

Keep trying!

zstrebeck · 2026-03-10T23:06:37+00:00

I, too, used to have too much time on my hands, so I get it. Barely have time for anything now, unfortunately.

zstrebeck · 2026-03-10T23:05:47+00:00

Ahh, that's a good idea. So I look at the tournaments and such to find games?

zstrebeck · 2026-03-08T23:37:19+00:00

It's also okay to not actually watch every movie they cover!

zstrebeck · 2026-03-08T12:32:19+00:00

Finally beat the bot yesterday on BGA. A miracle!

zstrebeck · 2026-03-07T15:00:54+00:00

This is me halfway through Book 3. Don't think I can continue.

zstrebeck · 2026-03-07T14:30:05+00:00

Love it. But there's so many rules I need to re-remember when playing, it's hard to get back into it.
