Stargate SG1 - It’s like Star Trek with machineguns.

FarScape - It’s like Star Trek but the main cast are fugitives, there’s lots of muppets, and watching it makes you feel like you’re on drugs.

The Righteous Gemstones - Danny McBride made comedy farce about a horrible, vain, and stupid megachurch family.

Batman Beyond - Cyberpunk batman with an unparalleled intro sequence.

Jericho - Post apocalyptic show with a conspiracy mystery bent and heavy GWB GWOT flavor.

Kings - A sort of adaption of the story of King David in a modern setting.

OPR skirmish is the easiest to talk people into since it uses GW minis they probably already own. All it needs is people reading the free rules and making a list. It feels like a proper skirmish game instead of the strange hero battle game modern Kill Team is. This is doable if a store has a Discord or something to do barebones meetup planning even with strangers.

A little more difficult, but doable if you’ve eased people into alternate ideas is getting people to agree to an older 40k edition. It requires buying or, uh, finding the rules and codexes, but it sidesteps the problem of constant rules changes. My preference is 3e (I have very little personal interest in Primaris marines) which is much less bloated than modern armies of the same points value.

Meanwhile in Gamma World.

Yes, tabletop gaming is so much bigger and more varied than GW’s games. I love 40k and Warhammer fantasy, but just as one part of the hobby.

The high pricing and FOMO churning is pretty perfected by GW. It is easy to fall into just thinking and buying GW products at MSRP. There are many ways to avoid it and play for much cheaper, but it means breaking out of the GW exclusive ecosystem. (I have many specific suggestions how to do this btw.)

I can’t stand the modern tournament culture which has this sort of e-sports stink on it.

As a mild piece of good news OnePageRules seems to have decent traction and isn’t too difficult to find groups who play in stores. It has its shortcomings, but at least the rules aren’t subject to the constant market driven churning updates.

Made for the thread.

I’ve vomited on 5 continents.

Same energy as the Lisa Simpson or Spider-Man presentation “memes”.

Jack Black was in the movie ‘Waterworld’. It’s before he was a big name, so he isn’t given any special camera treatment as one of the raiders.

The alien queen in ‘Alien: Resurrection’ is the same prop as in ‘Aliens’. A fan had bought and stored the prop for years and loaned it back to the studio for filming.

Thanks. I recognized your name as doing all that complex DND terrain.

I once watched a 9/11 truther type program that hand waved away this issue by simply stating the government used “nanothermite”. What is “nanothermite”? It’s thermite but acts in whatever way it needs to when somebody pokes holes in the idea of thermite.

Not a terribly convincing start to a hypothesis.

I know a lot of people here are fans of the 4 day workweek idea, but personally I think a 5-day work week, with 1 week per month off is a better schedule. Having 9 uninterrupted days off is very stress reducing and allows for working on multiday personal projects or doing some limited traveling.

For that sort of schedule, five 8 hour days is a baseline, but even going up to 9 or 10 hours as needed feels a lot more doable. As long as that flexibility to stretch hours is factored into the salary of course. If that’s done I think it is better for both the employees and the business in terms of getting projects done and people staying motivated.

Making this sort of schedule more common would require more expectations put on managers to properly organize schedules, since businesses I see doing this rotate through who is off so that the business is open the whole month.

I understand, somewhat, this being discouraged at work but I agree that doing it for personal passwords with the notebook at home is fine. I’ve met people opposed to ever writing down passwords and I think it’s just a rote reaction based on work training.

If you have a notebook at home with all your passwords then somebody needs to break into your house to get them, which is pretty good security.

The same ones I type.

A “family size” bag of Doritos is not sized for a family.

It should be the size of a family.
