Been out of the loop for so long. Bittersweet to hear of the mass layoffs but hope the news of Fallout (and its potential windfall) can revitalize Obsidian.

Ideal path for GSW moving forward is to keep everything in CA until the finals. Sac -> LAL -> LAC. Only because GSW's core trio are old fogeys who hate long travel. I have no idea who they'll face in the Finals. Hope MIL, BOS, and PHI wear each other out.

The closer they hew (within reason) to GRRM's source material, the better the outcome.

https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/game-of-thrones-prequel-series-a-knight-of-the-seven-kingdoms-hbo-1235578466/ GRRM's Dunk and Egg greenlit. This is the ASOIAF prequel series I really want to see.

I remember everyone but Pyronius but I like his taste in cars. ps Whatever happened to that J.E. fellow?

Legitimately good livery.

I can accept that. I think short of winning a championship, this could very well be Draymond's last year with Golden State. And when/if that happens, that'll be the end of their dominance.

With a minimum sample of 300 min played together, the GSW starting 5 of Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Draymond, Looney have (and by a significantly wide margin) the best NET Rating of any 5-man unit in the NBA this season. GSW (Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Draymond, Looney) +21.9 DEN (KCP, Murray, Gordon, MPJ, Jokic) +13.1 PHI (Maxey, Harden, Harris, PJ, Embiid) +12.5 BOS (Smart, DW, Brown, Tatum, Horford) +12.2 I am not worrying about GSW's abysmal home/road splits. I think it is far more relevant that in the Steve Kerr era, GSW is 18-0 in playoff series against Western Conference opponents. Also during that timeframe, when healthy and not suspended - the big three of Curry, Klay, and Draymond have not last any 7-game series during that same span. I'd still take this team over the field especially when there are no dominant contenders in either conference.

I got GSW at 6/1, pre-season. I suppose I can still feel good about it.

Yikes. Haha I guess all-in or nothing. I actually haven't been on two wheels since I was still in my teens. Once I got my license, the only wheeled death trap for me is with a wheel on each corner and an enclosed roof over my head.

Tuners have been known to "K-Swap" the Subaru boxer with a Honda V-TEC K20 or K24. Ken Gushi's GR86 Formula Drift race car uses a 4.0L FJ Cruiser motor tuned to push 1000HP. I am comfortable enough with socket/torque wrenches and impact drivers, but I am too much of a coward to even consider touching the powertrain (due to lack of competency, potential warranty issues, and eventually passing inspections). How strict are the inspections in Sweden? What sort of modifications are allowable?

So anyone here still play RPGs? If so, what's at your table? During the pandemic, I started to GM a few games online. I really hadn't played since the AD&D 2E era back when I was a teenager. Now I'm playing in-person again. I initially got myself the 5E set and immediately disliked it. Characters are essentially superheroes and I dislike the overtly complex mechanics. Eventually I started following OSR and modern OSR circles. Games I've run and really like: Hyperborea (AD&D retroclone inspired by the stories of Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, and H.P. Lovecraft) Old School Essentials (Retroclone of B/X D&D - the best D&D) Traveller (Classic. Favorite character creation system, Science Fiction or otherwise) Mothership (Survival Space Horror) Shadowdark (Played with the quickstart set and just backed her $1.3m Kickstarter. Combines old school style with modern ease-of-use mechanics. My favorite and will be the game I run permanently)
