The Gaming Den

I'd go for the automatic over the revolver, but I also wouldn't encourage anyone to assume I have meaningful insight into handguns.

Edit: I do respect this youtube channel, dunno if you've already gone through all the considerations she brings up:

I felt called out by the first scene of Save Yourselves, as I was watching with one leg on Darcy's lap and a hand on my phone as she was juggling remotes trying to finalize the new TV setup.

It Happened Like This The ability to reconstruct a major event that previously happened at a specific location from clues at that location. At low levels, this is just basic tracking, but as levels increase it gives more details, and can solve mysteries and reveal origins of curses, artifacts and s...

Okay, I am not gonna link it due to the restriction on political discussion: But Weird Al's "America is Doomed: the Musical" take on the debate as an NYT video op-ed is absolute fire. Go watch it.

Stimulus payments were sent to Social Security recipients. So if he's receiving even just a couple $$ a month in SS, he was still counted as a legit stimulous payment.

Saw Train to Busan on Netflix last night.

It does so very much right. Possibly the best zombie movie yet made.

Really sounds like you want a streamlined and re-themed version of Galaxy Trucker. In the first phase, people scramble through piles of card to assemble their set-up in real time and then in the second phase people use their hastily cobbled together outfits to negotiate through an encounter deck in ...

I'm not enough of a film buff to have an informed answer. But my gut wants to point to Die Hard as part of the shift.

Went back and rewatched John Carpenter's 1982 The Thing since we are currently living through an age of paranoia where we can't tell who is infected. Was really struck by how none of the characters have any backstory. They have a name and a job. A couple of them get quick establishing scenes to illu...

Humblebrag I guess: So for July, I have been attempting a monthly mileage challenge on Strava, with the goal of cycling at least 750 miles. So far I have been on pace to hit that number. The humbling part is how many people have logged more miles than me. I mean I figured pro-cyclists, wanna-be pros...

Possibly relevant example of photomanipulation of female form for a published MTG card:

But definitely less sexualized than any of the already discussed examples.

Whiskey. No. Seriously. You could do an interesting setup where the core "manastuff" needed for magic items is made by a fermentation process that has various specifications for mixing grains (or other plants) in a mash bill, controlling temperature and pressure for a specified period and ...

Watched the Netflix: Eurovision: the Story of Fire Saga spoof. Overall merely okay, but every one of the spoof musical numbers was howling laughter hilarious - if you are even passingly familiar with Eurovision you'll want to watch.

Run The Jewels RTJ4 is the most relevant album of 2020. And the best political hip hop since (at least) Public Enemy

Here's the antifascist track about police murdering innocent black civilians as part of the school to prison pipeline:

As much as would be tempted to turn this into gonzo satire on conspiracy theories, I'm just gonna ask some world-building questions: Is the world map basically the same countries we have in the real world? How long were the aliens in charge? What were the big strategic advantages that allowed them t...

You stay the fuck home until adequate testing is implemented. If you need to keep the peace you can fabricate a story to the in-laws about having tested positive and having a mild-yet-contagious case that you don't want to spread.

Are you actually playing a Bethesda game without mods? (with anti-crash mod installed on a computer significantly newer than the game itself), I mean generally I figger by the time Good OLD Games is not merely carrying, but has given a title away as a promo, adequate patching has usually been done,...

It's not difficult. It's bad design that just encourages a lot of reloading and wandering AFK for long stretches. Honestly, points in the main game scared me more, with "oh shit that Radscorpian is a GIANT radscorpian, or, "wait that's a deathclaw" or "goddamnit Victor, your stup...

Since GOG gave it away a few months back, I have been working through Fallout: New Vegas during my reduced work schedule. Overall the game is mixed, but wow is Dead Money is just painful. Trying to do survival horror is meaningless in a game that has spent dozens of hours teaching the player to save...

That's out of character for him, considering how much money he could make by peddling shielded sweatpants that prevent all those 5G Towers from ruining your Purity of Essence and such.
