The fact that the secondary market exists for individual cards immediately after opening is precisely why TCG booster packs are similar to gambling. The value of what a person get’s is unknown at the initial point of sale. If WoTC offered the individual cards for sale independently of booster packs you could…

For all the talk the Reapers are still shackled to their programming. They aren’t making independent thought. They aren’t full AI individuals but incredibly complex VI’s fulfilling their directive to melt organics down and make them into more Reapers. Same with the Starchild. It was only a complex VI until the…

I’d like to have that kind of disposable income.

She was seeking the narrow remedy of removing her father from the conservatorship. Medical issues don’t fall under his purview. So the forced IUD isn’t evidence that he should be removed. If she was seeking to totally dissolve the conservatorship I think she might have actually won. 

The main issue was she seeking the narrow remedy of removing her father from her conservatorship. The testimony she gave did not support that, as what was under his purview was not the abuse she claimed. 

Law Twitter broke down Brittney’s complaint last week. Some of the things that Brittney is claiming don’t actually fall under the purview of a conservatorship. While most of this is sealed and we only got what Britney went public with what she did go public with doesn’t jive with what can legally be done by a…

What are you doing during loading times that is interrupted by an advertisement?

Some of my meatspace friends judge MTG tournaments and they were hostile to the game. Since the in game spells differed slightly from the actual cards they felt it ran roughshod over established rules never taking into account it is in a different medium.  

Honestly the game wasn’t too bad. I liked the Card Deck spell casting mechanic.  It made battles a bit more dynamic compared to Diablo or Path of Exile.  The game however seemed ill suited for MMO style set up.  There was no real impetus to run around with others.  I think it would make more sense as a single play…

Geordi has already been Captain of the USS Challenger in Voyager “Timeless” and in Star Trek Online.  In the Comics he goes on to Captain the USS Enterprise-E 

Given the legal exploits of team Trump last year I think we’ve reached critical mass where some lawyers have lost all sense of reality or legal reasoning.  I feel like there will be a major ethics evaluation in the near future.

on the contrary. Taking it to court for defamation is more likely a SLAPP type suit to get someone to be quiet. In other words he thinks he has more money to burn in the legal system then the people he’s suing. If evidence was on his side social media would have a been a better way to defend himself. My best guess…

next thing you’ll say is that the US has lower wait times for elective surgery. But you’ll ignore that fact that those positive results are skewed due to the fact that people are less likely to seek health care early in the US. People will often only seek help for cancer after it’s terminal which skews long term…

This really feels like it’s the same world as Dark Souls in a different place and long after the Age of Fire has ended and become a forgotten memory. 

It’s not like it’s Airwolf where stock footage of F-86 Sabre’s stood in for everything from Su-22's to Mig-25's 

As a Pennsyltuckian this is pretty accurate. But we’re getting to the point where people are owning multiple junkers as parts donors keeping one good one looking fine and running ok. Especially with Pontiac Fiero’s, the ones you still see running look nice because all the same people bought the crappy ones to keep one…

I mean you can stall the asteroid enough to keep it from slamming into the Mass Relay. But the reapers arrive and melt everyone down in a non-standard game over. They had an entire cut scene dedicated to it.

Your mileage may very but overall it’s a pretty relaxing game. I liken it to a video game where you play in all the wicked album art from 1970's rock bands. One’s No Man’s Sky adventure would work very well air-brushed on the side of a van.

Babbage’s is a name i haven’t heard in a very long time.

At one point I was looking forward to a potential reunion since all the previous ones were scheduled around Halloween before the fell through. I thought it would be great to eat candy and dress up and get drunk and sing karaoke. The I realized I wasn’t wanting a Class reunion, i wanted to go to conventions again.
