    The Tabletop RPG Thread

    The Traveller game never ceases to amaze me. First we’re learning how to spaceship, then we were fighting kaiju on a planet that mostly wants to kill us, fight ghosts and zombies as our ship falls apart around us in jumpspace, and now we’re playing out a multiple episode arc of JAG. Apparently...

    Gaming thoughts, bite-size chewables - new orange flavor!

    I picked up Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord again for the first time in two years. A lot of systems that weren’t there before, like I guess you can get married and have kids now? Also, they nerfed the hell out of horse mounted archery. Not sure how I feel about it yet, but I feel the tedium and...

    On the away team, Thursday Questions is in a red shirt.

    1) The klaxon sounded and it’s an emergency! We go live to <insert poster‘s name here>, at the scene! What is happening? “Y’all better hope that doesn’t make it to the ammo stores. Can’t run fast enough for that shit” 2) When you broke glass on the ‘break-in-case-of-emergency’ box, what did you...

    Gaming thoughts, bite-size chewables - new orange flavor!

    Industry turnover gets the best of them. Still, if they have, or get back, the talent the company had during the halcyon years of Homeworld, DoW, and CoH, I still think they can make a recovery. RTS’s seem to be having a bit of a resurgence at the moment, and if they can capitalize on that they...

    Which is a shame because Homeworld 3 was kinda eh. I didn’t care for the rogue-lite mode and the story wasn’t very good.

    Lounge random thoughts/stories thread -- CURRENT

    Having been woken up for the damn last time a few minutes ago, I decided to crack the bastard open. Now I can hear you ask “swift, why didn’t you do this months ago when it started?” Well, electricity and I have a history. I have ridden the lightning a few times to include losing all muscle...

    I know a pizza shop in Kharkiv that does that. I’ve been told that is a thing in Ukraine. Never tried it myself though.

    I wake up to my old APS rapidly beeping in the laundry room. No strong smell or heat, so not terribly worries, but this fucker has been disconnected 9 months now. When will it just finally fecking die? It’s been quiet for a few weeks now too.

    We have one where I work. It is… Something, I guess. I did see one on the internet dressed up like a warthog from HALO that didn’t look half bad.

    The mild annoyances thread!

    The only time I got away with yelling at an E9 is when he told us during a Friday roll call that he expected a light night and production would probably be cutting people back early. And in an early case of brain-to-mouth filter failure (probably due to the filter being clogged), I immediately...

    STAR TREK: The Perpetual Thread

    This is my sentiment. Lower Decks is what really brought it back for me. I really enjoy the irreverent take it has on Trek.

    Yeah, the national teams are toast for a cycle or two because of this. The hit to the finances is really going to hurt. A shame, because Canada was looking pretty decent on both sides. The men’s team certainly looked better than the US’s, for sure.

    In this episode of 'Things That Piss Me Off'.........

    Of the four factories I’ve been in, 3 of which I worked, only one was air conditioned. That one was dealing with sensitive calibration equipment on the floor that got fussier the further you got past 90F. So from that I just figure only “tech” factories and food production plants really got A/C...
