Yeah seriously. Their idea of "welcoming" is incredibly loose. It equates to we let you in the door, but we will talk down to, ignore you, or over you while you engage in said hobby.

My wife stopped going to LGSs years ago when even buying a card resulted in some seriously uncomfortable interaction

He's a... Let's say... Pretty significant step down from Erikson.

My wife just got these for delivery. The top section of the cylinder is a really satisfying spinner, the spikes don't hurt but definitely keep your mind occupied, and the button makes a very quiet but crispy click.

Highly recommend.

I feel this so hard. I got a high end purple mattress 3 years ago and I have never had a bad night of sleep or back pain in it once. I actively dread sleeping away from my bed now. Absolutely worth the money.

I love that every movie is just the core concept with a new setting that's current and topical. I could watch them forever. It's just a formula that works for me.

Literally the video I look forward to the most every year. We had to delay Christmas this year because my pregnant wife was in the hospital sick with the flu, now I get to experience something that won't make me cry this Christmas? Or will it? I'm ready for the journey either way.

Yeah, I might be biased in that I have a back tattoo of Kubo, but that studio produces incredible stop motion. Can't wait for Wildwood.

Kubo and the Two Strings if you are in a YA mood. Movie slaps.

As a programmer working in tech, I think it's safe to say that almost every major tech company is using it in some capacity to assist with coding at this point.

I'd expect most studios would be too. You're right that it's not something you can actively police.

Our wedding was the best day of our lives. You're spot on. When do you get to have professionally catered meals, dance to curated music that you love, and have an excuse to have everyone you love in the room together?

It's an ultimate one-time splurge and it is worth it to make those memories.

Hell yeah. Glad you get to be there. Hopefully it sweeps, that game was incredible.

You CAN, but there's no CRTs in heaven and none of the flat screens have video inputs so you just have to stare at it.

As someone who has lived in all these areas, this is correct.

Is this a top 4 from square for you? Or just the first that popped into your head when you thought of great stories from them?

Really curious because I bounced hard off of Octopath 1 narratively even though I loved the gameplay and I'm wondering if 2 is worth it.
