• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Kind of weekly thread] What have you been watching?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently watching: My Three Sons (Classic TV - Pluto)
  Background noise while at work. Looking for something new to watch/binge

  Most recently watched movie: The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent (Nicholas Cage and Pedro Pascal in a buddy comedy/action)
  On the cusp of greatness. Always a Nick Cage fan. Wife enjoyed it even though she thought Pascal was Banderaz initially.

  Most recently completed binged series: Bodies (Netflix)
  Interesting concept/show, would be interested in a second season of it.

  Timing to hit the pause button (to unpause) in order to start a recording JUST as the DJ stops talking and the song kicks in...

  Or is that different because they're publicly traded companies?

  A hockey game is only played for an hour, yet each team has 5 lines.
  Auto plants run 24 hours and have 3 lines.

  To quote Bob Belcher, "Laugh On Loudly". Gloomhaven is so good that I kickstarted Frosthaven to support the maker. It's sealed in the box, in a closet.

  I do play Frosthaven (we've completed Gloomhaven and Forgotten Circles) with 2 of my siblings and a step brother on Tuesdays. Fridays I play Crimson Scales (fan made Gloomhaven expansion) on Table Top Simulator.

  Luckily, the sister and her husband host and do all the setup (we play their copy). TTS, I host but the "setup" is basically loading the mod and clicking a couple buttons. For the physical game, we use Gloomhaven Secretariat to manage the monster abilities, attack modifiers, health, effects, etc which really cuts down the setup/teardown time.

  I did have a seat open up on the Friday table, we get together about 5:30pm and run until 8pm Eastern...

  Serious answer:
  If it doesn't have to be digital, there's an entire world of board games available. Dominoes, Magic: The Gathering
  Funny answer:
  If it has to be digital, Table Top Simulator is fairly cheap and can play an entire world of available board games. /s

  Wife an I split time on RDR2. Her doing most of the fishing/hunting, me doing the rootin/tootin parts.

  Like standing in a Ford dealership bitching about your Jeep. Sure, folks agree with you but they're also wondering why you're here instead of there.
  Your expectations are too high for a company that has no issues with insider trading or crypto pump/dump schemes.
  That said, you're on Lemmy. Make your own r/Assistance. Blackjack and/or Hookers, your call.

  I believe the lack of charges for lying to Congress does lend a little credibility to the story he tells.
