I’ve got this on a sticker on my laptop so you definately can get it from red bubble

Do you know what’s nuts? He’s well respected within the industry as an editor - he’s worked with many of the luminaries of science fiction and fantasy over the years as the editor for Wild Cards and other short story collections.

It’s from the D20 Star Wars RPG, they weren’t the most accurate to the cannon even at the time. An interesting historical point is that the earlier West End Games star wars RPG fleshed out a lot of the expanded universe that we know and love and were used as reference material for the expanded universe novels.

Good old d20 Star Wars, I have great memories of this rpg. I loved the maps that d20 modern/future era Wizards of the Coast made.

The industry is experiencing historic shrinkage post COVID due to unsustainable growth during COVID.

Yes, but only in the fact that it looks like 4-5 different decks have got mixed together.

I’m surprised he’d want to come back - I’d heard really hurt his back filming the first movie and it happened again in the second one. Something about having to carrying both movies single handedly…

It’s not an easy transition. My partner works for DDG and I still don’t use it all the time. To their credit they are working to improve things but it’s a small team (comparatively). Their browser has some good features like app tracking protection just from having it installed and quick throwaway email support but isn’t quite up to Firefox’s standard (yet).

Don’t forgot the Blitzchung Hong Kong scandal - Blizzard has really gone from scandal to scandal the last few years.

I was there Gandalf…

I loved discovering all the little quirks of the character skins - I remember the stone golem was immune to fire.

The games industry is shrinking post COVID boom, companies expanded massively to try to capitalise on that and now the money isn’t there anymore. The games industry is always bad for layoffs, with staff being seen as an unnecessary expense post project in many cases. Additionally the tech sector is experiencing a unheard of levels of bad year (something like a 700%+ percent increase in layoffs according to at least one research group) which is contributing.

As the cat demon from adventure time say: “I have approximate knowledge of many things.”

Hadn’t heard of that, he’s definitely being weird and wrong, but its not as schizophrenic as time cube.

Terrance Howard? The time cube guy is Otis Eugene “Gene” Ray and I’m pretty sure he would have been 80 at the time. Plus he’s white.

I used to play dnd with an astronaught

I’m similar, except I collect rpg books and I’m 30. I haven’t sat down read a paper book properly in years, I just don’t have the attention span (thanks undiagnosed ADD). But I keep collecting because it brings me joy to do so and I enjoy the thrill of the chase going through second hand bookshops looking for deals.

These sort of hobbies are also great for bringing together like minded people, like you and your friend, so there are additional social benefits to them too if you’re looking for that. This is something Ive come to really come to appreciate more as I’ve aged and fallen out of contact with school friends and it gets harder to meet new people outside of your social circle.

Sorry for the ramble but I guess my main point is to ask yourself whether it brings you joy to continue collecting or not and if it doesn’t maybe to hold off for a few months and check back in with yourself then as you may feel different.
