I'm not that fortunate, but I recognize it's better for everyone else anyway.

Home ownership isn't my retirement plan, I just want to own where I live.

In the end I'm financially fucked, it's remarkable I got a nice house at a good price anyway.

I can't hold a generation hostage over my finances. What am I, a boomer?

I, for one, would not mind if my property value stagnated or decreased so that others could have a better life.

But I'm not most people, nor am I in a decision-making capacity.

It's also worth saying that I live in a single family dwelling on a larger than normal city lot, so I recognize that I am a part of the problem and still wouldn't want to change the way I live.

My first CRPG, and my only RPG had been D&D.

My dad ran a campaign for our family when I was seven or so. Original D&D, not even advanced. It didn't last terribly long but left a lifelong impression.

I recently inserted Creeping Coins to my Curse of Strahd campaign, as a matter of fact.

It was an unpopular twist, despite the group carrying a fortune in cursed money and having nothing whatsoever to spend it on.

My buddies and I would play on the Playstation (2?) and I got very very good at ninja roping across the map to drop dynamite on someone's head and swing back to safety in time.

Nothing more I loved than that maneuver, except maybe getting a concrete donkey.

Ahh, Sock. They ruined an already failing show by going all-in on season 2 Sockmania. Not that it was his fault.

Some good viral marketing right there!

I turned it off last night when they had someone on talking about their son who was one of the hostages.

All this time to put a name and face to one victim but not to discuss the overall tragedy that has happened and is still happening to tens of thousands.

It was extremely tone-deaf, and if they were going to represent one side of the victims they really should have done so with the innocent Palestinians caught in the middle as well.

Ahahahaha... ahem.

The thing I said was a bad look for the trailer yesterday was made up. And here I'd been thinking Coppola had a file folder of critics that gave him bad reviews.

Nope. I have no clue what their thinking was here but it's definitely turned me away from watching.

Shows up to speak truth to power.

Has no interest in speaking truth to power.

Alrighty then. Thanks for holding back the vote you would've never bothered to cast anyway.

My cat Bernie Sanders watching Bernie Sanders:

I'm always amused at the downvotes it collects. People hammering a button to acknowledge their dislike of something they are choosing to not block.

My only problem with these bots is that I don't want them counted toward comments - I hate going in to find the only comments are bots.

As another commenter pointed out, I was thinking of the 5200. But yeah, I was also doubtful.

Ah, you're right! Brain failure. Thank you.

The 7800 had a controller with a keypad used for many games.

Is that gone entirely?

Who am I kidding, I wouldn't have bought one anyway, but it was my first console.

I felt like the movies did that just fine. Faramir was able to resist the pull of the ring when he knew it was fully within his grasp if he chose.

Boromir failed almost immediately. He barely tried to resist it, and so he fell the fastest.

Yes, Faramir had learned that his brother fell to the ring's temptation but Boromir was already walking down that road too.

Damn the peacocks!

I really dislike when people share news from local news sites like this because they very, very rarely add the context to know where the fuck it happened.

It's worse than ragebait. It's completely useless and adds nothing to a discussion.

Yes, I have had it for 30 years.

The core Avengers:

Captain America: Battlemaster Fighter

Black Widow: Assassin Rogue

Iron Man: Armorer Artificer, as others said

Hulk: Path of the Giant Barbarian

Hawkeye: Arcane Archer Fighter

Thor: Pact of the Blade (Hammer) Warlock

He's term-limited I think.
