John Cena’s retirement match just happened. Fans are split on it. I have thoughts but I’ll detail em in a thread so all ya'll who don't care about pro wrestling can skip it easily if you want.

I've covered it through both of its UA releases, but now that the Artificer's 2024 implementation is finally released, here are my final thoughts on the update.
2024 Artificer Review
Now that Eberron: Forge of the Artificer is out, we have the final full release of the new 2024 Artificer. I've covered the two UA versions before, so I'm going to go through and give my final thoughts on the core features and subclasses The Core Class When I first covered it, I think might have undersold the value of Tinker's Magic and its ability to quickly replicate mundane items.

looked over my 2024 personal goals. I again succeeded in blogposting once a week and I definitely met my reading goals, but yet again I failed to make meaningful video game backlog progress.

I don't know how to change that but I might just stop making it a goal since I can't seem to make it happen.

11th level 80 completed with class mount acquired.
- being a badass troll lady was fun
- Odyn is still a jackass & Skyhold shouldn't have been the warrior order hall
- This was the last class mount I didn't acquire when Legion was live.
- Just have Priest to do (again). Not looking forward to that.

Context: Every Christmas season we have a game where we keep count of trees we see on cars.

Mal: “so we saw three trees this drive?”
Karen: “yep!”
Me: “you might even call it a….TREE-O!” 🤣🤣🤣
Everyone else: 🙄🙄🙄

I don’t travel much so I don’t have a huge sample size but damn TSA at LAX were some of the rudest I’ve ever seen.

Try making your food not taste like ass or cost an arm and a leg.
Once the top U.S. fast-casual chain, Panera has dipped to number three, falling behind Chipotle and Panda Express.

Now, to try to win back consumers, the chain plans to reinvest in the business and undo many previously implemented cost-cutting measures, it said Tuesday.

Blogpost this week is gonna be delayed a day or two, as it's @thekmatt.bsky.social's birthday weekend and I'm doing fun things with the fam instead of writing. Also I kept forgetting to write it ahead of time.

Last year I did a couple of fun thought experiments about what I'd have played if I were part of Critical Role.

I'm doing it again for campaign 4 except I'm gonna be extra about it. Here's how it's gonna work.
Critical Role Characters – Campaign 4
Hey, remember this post from over a year ago when I talked about what I would have played if I were on Critical Role, and then these three posts where I discussed alternate options? I had a lot of fun doing that, and I always planned on doing it for the next major campaign, once I felt like I knew enough about the player characters to do so.

hot take: I have always hated the design of the USS Enterprise-D.

Yes the iconic ship of TNG. Can't stand it.

the saucer section is too wide and thick compared to the rest of the ship. It looks unbalanced. Yes I know that means nothing on a spaceship. I still hate the way it looks.

I remain baffled that they called the movie "Zootopia 2" when "Zootwopia" was RIGHT THERE.

There’s an ALC-specific glam that is a really sweet lab coat that I’m gonna make heavy use of.
#wolqotd that's more of a player question:

Now that we have global glam unlocks, what glamour pieces are you looking to use that you normally could not?

I can glam a frog head with a maid dress, some tights, kicky boots, & claw-like nails to all of my active jobs Right Now.

NPCs wear impossible mix & match gear sets all the time.

In an expansive game w/ alien dragons, time travel, spaceships, neon tech next to the Old West, reincarnation, & more.
people disliking the glamour updates is so funny "but my class identities" well my class identity is being the best dressed bitch in duty finder
