The light at the end of the tunnel is that with it becoming a regular menu item instead of a limited time offering the fervor for it will probably die down pretty quickly.

Missing the first half of the season due to a nearly career ending injury to his clicking finger, @Alpha1Cowboy enters the fray in Week 8 in a bid to improve upon his 6th place 2018 MGT finish!

BUMP! Deadline is tonight! Get your entries in!

I usually try to avoid big spreads for the Feature Game, but this week my hand was slightly forced.

's all good.

Damnit, you're not supposed to reply that fast. Yeah, that game was a drag. I root for the Eagles twice a year and this weekend both my teams let me down.

I dig this, I just don't $200 dig this. Maybe some day.

I'll be honest; I'm like this. Necrosis would of course get me in, but yeah. I'll ignore pain until it affects range of motion. I'll go years without seeing a doctor when I really should probably. Hell, I won't even call in sick to work unless I'm damn near immobile. For me it's mostly a matter of convenience. For example I tore my rotator cuff and it was almost 2 months of appointments, taking time off work, multiple imagings, etc. between injury and being able to get the surgery scheduled. I don't have time for that. I broke my foot and never even had it looked at because the pain was less cumbersome to me than the hassle I knew having it treated would be. If I knew I could spend one day getting examined and treated it'd be way more likely to engage with healthcare, but that just isn't the case where I am.

I enjoy the show and don't feel like I need to hide it. So some segment of the show's fans are garbage. OK. That doesn't reflect on me. And as far as being popular...I've honestly never understood why that's a deal breaker for some people. If you enjoy something, enjoy it. If other people enjoy it, cool. If a lot of other people enjoy it? Still cool. That doesn't affect my consumption of that product at all so why deprive myself of something I find value in? As long as the quality remains high, bring it on.

A buddy is gonna wrtie up a short one-shot adventure using that system and run it for us, maybe at PAXU.

I thought it was...decent. The biggest problem for me was that it could've been a lot shorter for what it was. They kind of beat you over the head with one aspect of it for way longer than necessary before we get to the payoff. It was like, "OK we get it". It started to feel like filler. Ultimately I don't think it was a *bad* movie, there were a few really good moments, but it's not something I'd watch twice.
