    Tracking toy tariffs

    Most people are not brave. Apparently, that applies doubly to those with the most to lose. I'll never forget my seething rage at our feckless elites while I watched South Korean politicians jump fences and risk detention or death to save their democracy.

    The Complaint Thread

    I got at least two red rings, maybe three. The first one wasn't under warranty, the second one was. The whole situation was some bullshit.

    NFL Talk

    Hard to see a way back for the Ravens at 1-5, even in a shitty division. Don't let him get his hopes up. The Dolphins/Panthers game wasn't exactly a meeting of the minds. Those are two of the four worst teams in football.

    Marvel Toys on Sale

    I had a laugh about this. I've been eyeing the Gamerverse Black Cat to fill the Black Cat-sized hole in my shelf. $4 off? Yeah, no thanks.

    One A Day 2.0: Day #181 - Jester

    Definitely. Jason Aaron really turned me onto Mangog, but I'd take the Handbook version.

    Third Party Figures

    When is everyone going to come for grimdark or epic fantasy figures?

    Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

    That never happens to me. The guy I spend time answering questions/taking additional photos for never buys the item. Ever. Same with the guy who sends the "Will you take half the list price?" No. "What about 53% of the list price?" No. We finally argue up to 75% of the list price when the guy...

    TTRPGs & D&D

    I haven't. Unfortunately, the sequel trilogy killed my interest in Star Wars. Not to say I wouldn't play a game set in the Star Wars universe, but I wouldn't seek it out without a recommendation. On the subject of other systems, I was just recruited to play a game of Mythic Bastionland. It's an...

    TTRPGs & D&D

    Both of these ideas sound very cool. I dislike actual plays, so I am very much not the audience, but this never made sense to me. The rules are set dressing for everything that happens around them: interesting character moments, badass action, or funny/poignant role play. Maybe I'm the exact...

    One A Day 2.0: Day #181 - Jester

    I'd want her Krakoa look (black bodysuit, yellow jacket).

    Someone (we know who) burned down a judge's house and injured her husband and kids for ruling against Trump: https://www.live5news.com/2025/10/05/3-hospitalized-following-reported-edisto-beach-fire-sled-investigating/ Godspeed, Mr. President: Most encouraging of all: And I'll leave you...

    I'm happy your Niners are rolling, but I find every win less convincing than the last. If betting were legal here, I'd be preparing a big wager against them come playoff time.

    TTRPGs & D&D

    Hey, I never said I had any skill. So weird that A) they're running a published adventure, and B) they're running D&D. As Damien said, more often than not, D&D games are about combat. Combat is the focal point that everything else is built around. Foreplay always improves things. It didn't...

    TTRPGs & D&D

    Absolutely. It's trite to say, but at that point, you're writing a novel. It's collaborative storytelling, not a scripted scene. When I prep, I anticipate how I want my players to react and how I expect them to react, but I don't box them in. Another highlight from my last campaign was finally...

    TTRPGs & D&D

    13th Age has a similar feature: The game also has an optional rule that doesn't allow PCs to die to unnamed monsters. They can be knocked unconscious, but can only be killed by named foes.

    General Marvel Legends

    I got the Target Outback Storm yesterday. Aside from the hair, which I don't care for, and the cape, which is objectively terrible, it's a good figure. Interestingly, she's charcoal gray rather than black. That caught me off guard. Outback's my favorite look for Storm, so I'm glad to have her...

    I grabbed Pete, whom I just impulse bought off of Amazon. Cancelled my Amazon order and saved $12.

    Drafts only save for 24 hours by default. I just upped it to 72.

    TTRPGs & D&D

    Agreed. In a four-player party, I want to drop two of the players during the fight. It's only happened for me twice. Once, I put them in a social setting where they thought they were safe. They were attending a retirement party at a mansion. I pulled each player away from the group with a...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    Thank you all for the input. The wizards crossed my mind because I own them both, but the unarmored upper arms and hands killed that dream. I'd like to avoid painting—at least outside of a wash or dry brush—if I can help it. I snatched up a Silver Knight at BBTS. I'm hoping the gear I bought...

    U.S. Politics

    We agreed to mass deportation, crashing the economy, and ending America's 80-year reign as global superpower so we could call women fat bitches and use the r-word again. It's all good because we did it on purpose.

    @Justice, that qualifies as elder abuse on this forum.

    Boss Fight Studios 1/12 and EPIC HACKS

    Those Conan figures are legitimately amazing. I'm glad I don't care about the character at all.

    My dad was a drunk. For the longest time, I never touched the stuff. Now I'll have a few glasses of wine per year, but I still try to avoid it. I hate being inebriated. I'm too much of a control freak to willingly give up my mental or physical faculties. For those who missed it: Remember...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    You all may recall that I ordered a kit from Uncle Jim Workshop to fill the Dark Souls-sized hole in my video game collection. My order from Uncle Jim arrived today, and I somehow dodged President T's middle-class tax increase tariffs. Well, I totally misunderstood what Uncle Jim was offering...
