Ah yes, as predicted, family birthday dinner escalated to public schools teaching the kids how to be gay and me being the bad guy for telling everyone they’re insane and need to stop watching Fox. Also: LeeMajors posted:Albon, right? Gonna have to go with Gastly on this one

I'm just trying to be supportive and optimistic for family and it's hard sometimes needing a place to vent a little bit and it's been super helpful to know I can talk about it here. I know its corny but I appreciate you all very much.

This thread is great to just let poo poo off our chest. Probably says something that we have to be on an Internet forum to do it but whatever works.

Hi, it’s me. I grew up in Southwest Missouri and was drug to these conferences all the time. Give no one there the benefit of the doubt. They’re all lovely evangelical assholes who are hypocrites and deserve nothing but scorn. gently caress them and gently caress this conference. Morally superior dick weasels.

Well if we’re flexing for cool and loud motor sporting events I’ve been to several MotoGP races and a Formula 1 race when they were still V8s  I’ve had moderate hearing loss since birth, I can’t imagine hearing V8 F1 cars at normal person hearing levels without hearing protection lmao

It seems like that would get really loving expensive (my buddy has a pauper cube that is super fun though)

ozymandius1024 posted:Is there a set list of cards for a Cube, or is it something that depends on the person building it? You can make a Cube with whatever parameters you want, so it can be really cheap (commons only, commons + uncommons) or really expensive (Power Cubes) or something in between, though people usually proxy out the really expensive cards. It's a project I've always wanted to try my hand at but I'd have nowhere to store it and no one to play it with  Bird in a Blender posted:This MtG talk reminded me that I still have a pile of old cards I’ve been meaning to sell. The MTG Buy/Sell/Trade thread in SA Mart is a pretty good resource for selling cards, though be forewarned that you might just be sitting on a pile of junk. Do you remember when you were playing?

I remember as a kid seeing the massive monster truck rally commercials as a kid and wanting to go, my parents never took me. Then I remember seeing a news story about a kid who was at a show and a piece of metal shrapnel once went flying from one of the trucks and hit the kid, killing them, and uh, I never wanted to go again. Edit: that event happened in 2009, so I'm misremembering my childhood, oops

We were very different children even if you were remembering it right because that would have made me double down on insisting on going to a monster truck rally. The thought of mortal danger would have made it more exciting to child me. I never wanted to go to a monster truck rally but I do remember wanting to go to a demolition derby.

Do you remember when you were playing? It’s a lot of junk, but I have a few I think are worth a little. A couple years back I sold some to a game store, but they only bought like 10 cards. I have mostly Revised and 4th edition stuff, and some various other sets from that time.

We saw a monster truck/mud bog inside the UNO Lakefront arena, which was too small for a full distance run. In the early 80s they did not have remote cutoffs, nor did they block off front rows. So 9 year old me and my Dad sat right where the trucks were aiming, in the very front row. It was...spicy

Last race I went to was Super GT, and those sound surprisingly good for turbo 4s, but my dad and I are starting to plan out Le Mans soon

Hell yeah, my dad badly wants to go to the Vintage 24 Hours of Daytona and it’s sounding like we’re gonna go this fall. I saw a 3.0 CSL do a demo lap at like half throttle at Sebring many years ago and it sounded like a demon out of hell, I would love to hear one of those go full tilt.

Instagram is offering me an advert from Christie’s with a deinonychus skeleton for sale, which a) means their algorithm is all out of whack if they think I can afford any sort of dinosaur skeleton and b) seems kinda hosed up to me, for some reason?
