@oldyzach Currently have a Paladin (Combat focus) roaming in Hell. Probably my favorite class. I've completed the game with the Druid (shapechanger) and the Assassin (trap mistress).

@ElementasSeries Hmmm, your book is longer that Robert Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" and only 20 odd pages less than "The Hobbit." I wonder how many amazing books this person has self-deleted from his life?

Someone found out my first book is 277 pages and said, "Books less than 300 aren't worth my time." I've read many fantastic reads that were less than 300 pages. How sad to miss out on good books because of a page count.

@oldyzach I introduced my sons to the old XCom. Turns out they felt my method of equipping everyone with blasta launchers and wiping out everything wasn't the best way to play.

I can't decide which I want more 🤔 On the one hand, I dream that the new XCOM (sometime in the future?) would be dark, serious, and as realistic as possible - not colorful and comic style like the last two. On the other hand, I'd like it to be developed by a small studio as an indie game, retaining the atmosphere and visual style of the first two.

@BradRTorgersen "Ultimately, SFA was unserious.And this was by design." Lower Decks was unserious, was upfront about it and I had a good time. I never saw SFA advertise as such. Writers thought they were brilliant and they were shocked when people laughed at and mocked there labors.

SFA punched itself down with ludicrous characters and bad scripts. The people writing it didn't understand the lore of the franchise, and didn't care if the plot (ungh, I can barely use that word) reflected this ignorance. Ultimately, SFA was unserious. And this was by design.
Captain Jack@CaptainJackYT

It is depressing & disappointing seeing people "celebrate" the cancellation of a series. Do people not realise this hurts the franchise as a whole? Yes, you can not like something... but is there a need to continually punch it down?? #StarTrek

@SandyofCthulhu Everyone I know who is a Star Wars fan loved the character, we hated what they did to the character after such a wonderful introduction.

Finn was the most interesting character by far! He had the coolest backstory. NO FAN disliked him. We did hate that Disney didn’t use him properly. Here’s a guy who was a stormtrooper. Does he feel angst about killing other troopers? Does he raise a legion of redeemed former-imperials? No. He shoots down stormtroopers with obvious glee and becomes just a dull sidekick. The fans wanted more. I agree maybe Disney was racist. But the fans weren’t.
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse

John Boyega implies Disney ruined his Finn character in the new Star Wars series because of racism: "You guys knew what to do with Daisy Ridley, you knew what to do with Adam Driver. But when it came to Kelly Marie Tran, when it came to John Boyega, you know f*ck all. So what do you want me to say? What they want you to say is, ‘I enjoyed being a part of it. It was a great experience…’ Nah, nah, nah. I’ll take that deal when it’s a great experience. They gave all the nuance to Adam Driver, all the nuance to Daisy Ridley. Let’s be honest. Daisy knows this. Adam knows this. Everybody knows. I’m not exposing anything."

@Simon_Ingari My wife worked at a military clinic where she did all the readiness physicals. It was a full time job. Leadership added a full patient load because they thought she could do more. She eventually quit. Another person was told she was taking on my wife's job. She immediately quit.

Boss: Sarah doesn’t work here anymore. So who’s going to do these reports? HR: No one else knows how to do them besides Sarah. Boss: We need to fill this role ASAP. HR: The feedback is that this workload is too much for one role. Boss: Well, that’s absurd. Sarah did it—why are all these issues coming up now? HR : (Silence..) Boss: Why are all these needy clients emailing me saying they haven’t received their edits yet? HR: Those were Sarah’s clients, and they haven’t been reassigned yet. Boss: Great. Why is the toner always low, the candy dish always empty, and there’s never a fresh pot of coffee in the morning anymore? HR: Sarah handled all of that too. Boss: Why was that project never finished? HR: Sarah was working on it. Boss: What about the updated demo report? HR: She was handling that as well. Boss: You know what—just get out of my face. Sarah had been fired because the boss thought she became a liability when she asked for a salary raise.

@SandyofCthulhu How long did Mexico have the land from Spain? 27 years if you go by Spain recognizing Mexican independence in 1821.

Periodically we get some lackwit oomph gibbering about how the USA "stole Mexican land" and we should give back California, Texas, and so forth to the rightful owners. Yes I know this is an idiotic idea. Let's leave aside the question of who would conquer who in such a transaction (clearly the new American "citizens" of Mexico would dominate their government). The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo transferred those lands to the United States. It was a formal and internationally legal agreement. If Mexico was to attempt to dump that treaty, that would mean they were, once again, at war with the United States, because that's what that treaty ended. I can see an argument from a Native American that their land was stolen. But Mexico's land was absolutely handed over to us, and the treaty stands up to scrutiny. If Mexico wants it back, let them beat us in a war and make us sign a treaty to return it.

@LtHarcrow #StarfleetAcademy was advertised in a way that expressed to me that they didn't want older fans around. In other words don't push hard for a new audience while pushing the old audience away in your advertisements.

Of course #StarfleetAcademy was cancelled due to the massive outpouring of negative reviews from conservative whiners who didn’t even watch the show. Par for the course in 2026.

Everything else either seemed to me to be GRIMDARK or in the case of Star Fleet Academy purposely being advertised as not for us older fans. I, and obviously a majority of folks like me, stayed away because New Trek didn't seem to want us on the journey any more.

Long time Star Trek fan since the early 70s. The only new shows that interested me was "Lower Decks" and "Strange New Worlds". LD because it advertised as silly Trek with a focus on the ones who work off shifts and do scut work. SNW as it was back to the era of wonder. #startrek

@MugiChan_TA Just play a Locust, and every time it is your turn yell <BEEP><BEEP> while moving your mini as fast as possible. Will you die? Almost definitely. But you will be having the most fun of anyone on the board before that happens.

@lblee58 Not quite true. Depends on your disability rating. Or if you qualify and they can't do it, they will send you on the economy, such as with my skin cancer lesions.

I love how some people that understand how the VA works tells you to get the government to pay for a medical procedure. Not knowing unless your condition is Service Connected the VA won’t perform the medical procedure!

@coffee_oil I am a disabled veteran that is currently working his ass off in the gym. People can't see I can't run, can't use the elliptical, and am forced to rely mainly on machines as my body is so messed up that one misstep with a free weight would put me down for a week. You do you.

@MichaelARothman Interesting. That is the same odds when my wife asks me to do something and I have a 50-50 option of doing it the way she wanted or instead the way that causes her eye to twitch uncontrollably.

Ever hear of the 50-50-90 rule? Whenever there's a 50-50 chance of getting something right, the moment you decide to take a chance, there's a 90% chance you'll get it wrong.
