Happy birthday!

I’m usually simple, haha. Grilled new York strip steak, grilled corn on the cob, onion strings, and a dollop of creamy mashed potatoes.

Either that or carbonara.

Lemon bars, banana pudding (with nilla wafers), or my great grandma’s angel food cake recipe for dessert.

Good luck figuring it out

With Ironclad, I really love when you get a good strength build going. Demon Form early game is so cash money

With the Silent, Poison builds are my go to, but if you get a good something going with Shivs in the beginning, it’s so much fun.

The Defect, I recently defeated A3 with a channel lightning build - where you channel for every time you get hit. I was channeling, i think 6 every hit and had +4 focus, so when the heart did the 4x12 attack, it destroyed itself. Felt incredible.

I haven’t yet figured out a solid strat for The Watcher, but divinity is fun and I enjoy going full wrath, but having enough defense to back that up proves difficult.

In terms of similar games, if I’m feeling a little more casual/braindead, Peglin is a lot of fun with a similar deckbuilding style. I have yet to figure out any really good builds and I think some balls are definitely better than others, but it’s still fun and super casual.

Ironclad is so good to rely back on for consistent builds, I feel like. I think I have the most fun with The Silent and The Defect, personally, but Ironclad runs are just so straightforward and there’s so many good builds.

So. Much. Pathfinder 2e. And I love it.

I just had a session one for a Wednesday night campaign with a character I’m so excited to play. I have a Friday night campaign I really love with a great character. And my Sunday campaign is marching steadily onward - although I cannot wait to finish Gatewalkers so I can homebrew. Gatewalkers is fine and it’s a lot of fun (the reveal in act 3 of the 1st book was incredible), but I hate running out of books. I love homebrew and I miss it dearly.

I’ve been trying to get together my friends IRL to play the beginner’s box because I don’t think I can ever go back to 5e after experiencing the ease at which PF balances everything. But schedules are, of course, the conflict.

I’ve pulled out an old laptop to try Linux Mint because I’m really over Windows’ whole thing and I just need to get my hands on mint before I fully commit. But thanks for the shoutout!

Oh that’s great to hear! Are the fans loud? I could get a smaller case, but I read the stock fans are quiet and work well.

My experience is only from Vancouver and though I’ve visited many times, I don’t live there, but

The public transportation and mixed zoning is something that I wish every city had. The city is massive but it feels cozy and entirely accessible.

2x22" is what I have already and it fits my desk well and it’s not too much, if that makes any sense. I’m going to also look at an ultrawide physically over the weekend and see how it feels, but i like to snap windows to the sides of the screens and I don’t know enough about ultrawides to know if you can do that easily, haha

Ohhh! Thanks!

Let myself make an impulse decision so I’m getting a tattoo that is completely silly and stupid. I’m hoping I won’t regret it

Seconding Darn Tough. My dad is a laborer and has sworn by these socks, and I use them for sports. They do honor their guarantees as well if you do get a hole. My only issue is where the toe seam is can be uncomfortable sometimes, but that’s in ski boots, so lots of compression on the toes anyway

I’ve been thinking the same thing for this, but Liftoff

The sounder, the 1-line, the ferries. Seattle is pretty great for public transportation. The only place I’ve seen better is Vancouver, but I’m not super well traveled.

But if coming from Tacoma to go watch college hockey in Northgate? There’s no better way to travel than the 1-line, IMO. Or trying to get to the airport without all the insane traffic and poorly designed on and odds? 1-line.

Colorado desperately needs something like this. I hope it passes. Although the service times are few and far between, people will make it work, I guarantee it.

Utah has something similar between its southernmost city in the greater Salt Lake area - Provo- and up to Ogden. I believe it also shares the lines with freight and while there are delays if a freight train is going somewhere (passenger trains give way), it’s still very popular.

Between brain fog from my disease and the additional slowness from depression+adhd, it’s astounding I can function at all.

I would do some nasty things to have a brain assistant, some little cattle prod up there to get it to chug a long. Yes please!

On the one hand, Annapurna seems to know what they’re doing - Nimona was fantastic. On the other hand, I think it’s going to be hard to make this into a movie. I’m assuming they’ll focus on the journey of the cat and the environment around it, but they’ll have to fill all of the other space, hopefully with the robots and their personalities.

I’ve seen an uptick in shirts and bumper stickers along the same lines and they always make me happy. “You are valued” “You’re beautiful” “I hope something good happens to you today”. They’re great messages and seeing them worn or displayed is a force of positivity more people need, for sure.

I picked up Slay the Spire after kinda recently learning about deck building games and how much I apparently love them. Been having a bunch of fun and beat the game for the first time just recently. Now I have to do it with the other characters :3

This is exactly what I came to say. Thank you for having taste

Absolutely this. I make a slightly different version.

Halve a few cucumbers, chop into 1/2" pieces, I then crush line under a plate or bowl, not to pulp but just to break them up some. Salt and set aside for a few minutes to draw some moisture out. Drain, then add a tbsp or so of gochujang, a clove or so of garlic, tsp or so sesame oil, splash ponzu, 1 tsp sugar, and chili flakes to taste.

Honestly I’ve even just parsed it down to gochujang and sesame oil and it’s great.

Excellent side dish to so many things.
