I got dismissed from a jury today for asking questions. I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about it though.

Random video game news... RNG says "Nope"
Laser Squad Nemesis is the only game I remember enjoying that had that asynchronous turn based format. It makes a lot of sense in multiplayer, but I'm not sure it has the same feel of control over the battlefield as a traditional turn based game.

KD wasn't the issue on the Nets though. If he is healthy with CP3 and Booker, they will be dangerous.

Field of Dreams and Bull Durham. I really miss GD, he would have gotten them both.

You guys keep talking about Kevin Costner movies without listing the two most important ones. Bunch of lollygaggers, the lot of you.

Keyrock is clearly roleplaying a 21 Jump Street scenario at Hogwarts. That kid looks older than the professors.

I made the change to 11 and it is barely noticeable. The start button moved a bit, I guess.

Funny Stuff: Which website did Chewbacca get arrested for creating? Wookieleaks!
To be fair, every sport I've done has its share of vomiting athletes. The last 8 miles of my Ironman were spent shuffling forward with a space blanket draped around my shoulders and the occasional vomit break. Someone gave me a breathe mint before the finish line, and I'm pretty sure it was an angel. But I got a nice T-shirt at the end, so it was worth it.

Cinema and Movie Thread: I like to remember things my own way.
I haven't watched Dances with Wolves in 20 years, but I remember enjoying it. Honestly all of those Kevin Costner vehicles are slow and plodding, but they typically have great scenery and the kind of pace that makes them perfect to have on in the background. Although the best part of Waterworld is the stage show that it spawned at Universal Studios. That thing is phenomenal.

The TV and Streaming Thread: Summer Re-reruns (it's always summer somewhere)
It's pretty much a new cast this year. Kenan Thompson is the exception. I can't believe he has been there for 20 years! I wonder if he takes over when Lorne retires...

Finally sat down and watched The Banshees of Inisherin. I had just finished a rough bike ride, and I had a nice pint of stout for the occasion. That was the right way to do this type of movie, as it was slow and fit well with my slow sipping stout.

If you are writing it out language arts style, it is going to be February 3rd, 2023. If you are a math nerd, I guess you can put the year first.

Josh Johnson is still in the NFL, apparently. This is not good for the Niners.

I ran my first official half marathon today. It was pretty good, I put up a 1:35 time and ended up 3rd in my age group. We will see how the legs feel in the morning.

Food Thread - Obsidian Gormand's Edition
Speaking of mayo, I switched to Avocado Mayo a few years ago. It took a bit of time to adjust my palette, but I enjoy it quite a bit now. I was having issues with the oil they use in most mayo, I think. edit: I use it as a sandwich spread and the occasional artichoke dip.

What are you Playing Now? It's not how you play the game, it's how you place the blame
Sounds like and Elder Scrolls ripoff. I started a new character in Outward. The male faces are terrible. They look like they have spent the last few decades polishing off all the alcohol in the village. So I made a female character. I also went with a halberd instead of my sword and board build from before. The halberd is much easier to use against the early enemies. It lets me keep my distance much easier. I haven't decided if I'm going to even bother with magic this time around. My first character had a couple spells, but managing mana is tricky and you lose health and stamina to attain it. But it is early and I'm still deciding on my path.

My wife eats her scrambled eggs with ketchup too. I guess it makes sense if you throw some hash browns in the mix. Good mac and cheese is rare.
