Maryland. Dad.
Planning my next vacation at almost all times. Into games, grills, and all that other cliché stuff elder millennials like to do.
Pinned
Going to start a new thread counting down to our next vacation. Below is the previous one - 53 days of my favorite pictures I've taken at Universal Orlando that led up to our first visit to Epic in June.

Going to try my best not to reuse any from this thread! With that - let the countdown begin...
Photo thread of #Universal Orlando photos to countdown to the upcoming trip.

53 Days to go.

Life has been too much lately to give any time to my vacation countdown. But trying to look on the brightside that it means suddenly, without any fanfare, Ill just be there.

12 days.

Good Black Friday so far. Past few years have been underwhelming but the high of grabbing Sonic and Shadow Generations for $15 feels gooooood

Noah Hawley never misses. I am so excited.

(Bring Michael Mando back in a new role)
Far Cry TV series ordered by FX from Noah Hawley and Rob Mac

"the series will follow an anthology format like the games and feature a different cast and setting each season"

This thread is incredible and makes me wonder if the holiday season is the true source of Kevin's power- like Captain Britain and England.

If the wet bandits struck in summer, would Kevin be completely overwhelmed?
Home Alone makes changes to the Die Hard formula that render it hard for me to enjoy. The McClain character should feel overawed. And in theory having Kevin be a child versus adults achieves that. But the thing is: Kevin is a god. It's not just Tom & Jerry. This is some random punks versus Anansi.

The amount of times I've had an angry kid because they insisted making the kids grilled cheese with pimento or some other unique cheese has been infuriating.
if you're a chef and you want to do like your twists on standards and innovate that is awesome, one of my favorite restaurants was a sandwich shop where a guy with a Michelin star just did like next level club sandwiches,

but if you've got one, leave the kids menu standard

I have a Proton email address now but the thought of having to move EVERYTHING from like...20 years of gmail is incredibly daunting.

It seems Google has decided the punishment for turning off all AI features in my email is its going to send every single piece of junk to my watch.

Which is BS because long before they had Gemini it never did this.

We will see who wins, Google. I will never turn AI back on!!

Fortnite is a souls-like because its very hard to be like

Do i give my real money I worked for so I can be King Kong?

The hardest battle, truly.

It’s always “raise prices on busy days” and never “give discounts for slower times of the year,” is it?

I swear every time I think "maybe this year we finally go back to Disney, I understand parks enough I can make this work" they do something that ensures I just renew my UOAP another year and don't bother thinking about it again.

Why did no one tell me Fortnite meant Moe Syzlak could play drums to March of the Pigs?

Every year I time this wrong and end up with the worst possible deal.

PS+ expires Dec 10, so I either get an upgrade for about 10 days or nothing.
