Right because small markets like Richmond with only 1.26 million people never turn a profit, especially when they’e the only game in town? That’s why it’d be crazy to have teams in markets like Green Bay (318K people), Winnipeg (780K), Buffalo (1.13M), Salt Lake City (1.19M), or New Orleans (1.26M), right?

Agreed - Richmond loves the Flying Squirrels and attendance has been at the top (either first or second) of the league for a decade at this point. I want to see Nutsy go big league!

Have you (or anyone besides me I guess?) played Titan Quest (the best of the Diablo 2 clones) on mobile? Yes precision actions can be tricky, by generally the hack-n-slash actions translate fairly seamlessly if done correctly - melee characters especially.

Holy shit. I thought the weird lady handing out boxes of Hamburger Helper in my neighborhood was nuts, but this? Good Lord, man.

Depends - some people (i.e. me and the wife), for whatever reason none of the fertility doctors could explain, were just unable to conceive “naturally” so did IVF in our late 20s. Both of us were healthy and all the parts were working like normal, but something just didn’t click. IVF was a home-run on the first try…

What’s your go-to “happy place” for forgetting the world is a dumpster fire for a minute besides the obvious like “family” or “ all of the booze”?

I will never not star this when I see it.

But the Pennsylvania legislature shut down earlier this week without reaching a resolution on a proposal that would temporarily lift the statue of limitations for two years so that older victims of sexual abuse by clergy could sue in court for damages

Hey it’s my local gamestore being all fancy getting interviewed on Kotaku! If you live anywhere around Lancaster, PA (I think they have a shop in York too) check them out:

There’s a difference between “like” and “respect”. I went to Auburn so I’m legally obligated to FURYHATE everything about Alabama, but I can still respect the powerhouse Saban has built and understand how others who are far more into football than I would as well.

Can confirm on the fruit gin hack she suggests. My wife has friends in Wales who have a bunch of sloe/blackthorn bushes around their house and they use them to make Sloe Gin. It is both very delicious and very dangerous given how much you’ll want to drink because of aforementioned deliciousness. 

As a former resident of Alabama, what’s most surprising about this is that they stocked Pepsi products AT ALL. Southerners don’t call all soft drinks “Coke” for no reason...

If it means Mankind hits him in the face with a barbed-wire-wrapped chair, then I for one welcome Mr. Bloomberg into the ring!

While I agree with everything you’ve written, to say “I feel like we should all be better than that” is to ignore what the last few years have really revealed: that, in fact, no the vast majority of us are NOT better than our basest, most tribalist instincts. I wish it weren’t so, but every day just brings more and…

Well the punishment for treason in Rome was being thrown off a cliff, so...apt?

Because there’s nothing to “rebound” from: Hearthstone is by far the largest online TCG in terms of both player base and revenue:

I would 100% buy Portland’s (cause come on of course it would be) Fictitious Brewery’s “Plucky Penguin Pins Prickly Pitahaya Pale (P)Ale.”

Don’t forget about the spotlights over one/both side-mirrors. Always what I keep an eye out for since they’re easier to spot on a car behind you than antenna/wheels.
