Aetherdrift Legends Thread
Big congrats to Pia Nalaar for continuing to get tougher in every single appearance. Also, despite costuming changes and four different artists, she's been pretty consistently portrayed.

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures
WSJ: “.. If the AI market blows up, the blast radius would be wide, hitting not only Wall Street firms, but also pensions, mutual and exchange-traded funds and individual investors, because of how debt is often sliced and resold across the financial landscape.”

Alright, PAX Unplugged for me is tentatively:
- Godzilla RPG
- Thunder Road RPG
- Beyblade Tourney (Arjun)
- Learn Riftbound
- Browse the Expo Hall in-between
It’ll be me and the boy Saturday, and the whole family on Sunday for just a few hours (doing paint and take and browsing).

In "Never do anything fun" news, here's my 4yo's brush teeth routine:
- "Daddy Mech Suit" carries her 5ft to the bathroom.
- She checks in to the dentist.
- The 'dentist' has to hold her like she's in a dentist chair while making small talk brushing her teeth.
- The mech suit brings her back.

More Americans are turning to peptides for muscle building, skin rejuvenation, and to live longer, even though the substances aren’t FDA approved. Doctors warn that none have undergone adequate clinical trials and the supposed benefits are unproven.
Americans are injecting themselves with unproven peptides sold by influencers and RFK Jr. allies

This alone is a reason to pre-order. Math torture!
WHY ARE YOU PUSHING THIS SO HARD?
Pre-orders mean the world. Early pre-orders open new doors for us, and for this book, and will make the whole situation better. If we can debut on the NYT Bestseller list, I will build an Alandra Sky Dreamer token deck and punish myself with math.

I think I’m gonna actively strip apart any “five color” decks in favor of fewer colors. Leaving only Sisay.
Im any case, I’m definitely taking The Ur-Dragon apart and maybe building Ureni?

My friend played a Templar deck yesterday and it inspired me to finally take apart my terrible five color assassins deck and commit to a Mardu-colored Altair deck.
I think I’m on board the “five color commanders are bad” train, finally. If for no other reason that they give me decision paralysis.

The Bond thing is so funny because Bond has never had strict continuity, it soft rebooted with every new actor until Daniel Craig, which was a hard reboot that kept Judi Dench’s M.
Either the writers know nothing about Bond, this is a publicly thing, or more likely it’s misconstrued for clicks.

The only other thing I caught on a rewatch was how in Season 2 Dustin talks about how to defeat a Mind Flayer, and goes on about an army of the undead before realizing he's lost the analogy and plays it off.
Then in Season 4 of course we get Vecna, an undead lich from D&D. 🤔

Rewatching Stranger Things (wife wants to watch it for the first time). Any fan theories I should keep an eye out for?
For instance:
I definitely think Vecna took Will.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage
The phone plan people are just too aggressive. I snapped at one once because he blocked my path to give me the sales pitch (after I’d told him multiple times I wasn’t interested and to please move) … because he was between me and my toddler as my toddler was running away and ducked out of sight.
The phone people always freak me out so much

The absolute last thing I want is more Target Employees interacting with me. I already avoid the electronics section when I spot those phone plan sales people.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

And this is only the families who have the means to sue, and (critically) the families who FOUND OUT.
How many more vulnerable people has ChatGPT convinced? Will we ever know?
