The Good News Thread: I'm So Excited! And I Just Can't Hide It!

[Silverblade5 he/him]

I may have just caused my entire group to fail our APUSH final

We were supposed to put together a 3-5 minute video on an event. I saved it as the wrong file type. Unless the computer my teacher is using has the same software that I used, it won't play. He doesn't accept technical excuses.

The class size was big enough that there wasn't time for everyone. I can still fix this!

Today, a coworker told me that she hasn't heard a single bad thing about me. My workplace being quite the rumor mill, this is a very good thing.

[Left he/him]

There's a new lifeguard in the guild, and he showed up a good twenty minutes early to relieve me this morning. Best thing ever.

Rumors have it that Netflix will be producing a Moon Knight series!

There aren't enough upvotes in the world.

1) I finally made up all of my deficit credit!

2) As a reward for doing so, I got $100 in iTunes credit, $50 of which is already spent.

Just got my first job! I had my interview this morning, and they hired me as soon as it was over

Welcome to the work force!

I am pleased to tell you that my AC (which was definitely broken; the fan had snapped and it was generating heat instead of combating it) is now fixed! Nothing better than walking into an air-conditioned apartment!

We (me and my family) played Monopoly for the first time in years... and we didn't argue! It was even enjoyable!

 

(To put some context, years ago I put a sticket into the Monopoly box saying "Pick something else. You would just argue nonsensically. Again.". During those years when I was to choose a game to play with my family, that note was a reminder.)

Heh. My family can't play Risk together. The last time we tried, it almost came to blows when my brother gloated about winning Kamchatka from my mom and she wasn't half as amused as he was. I think the moment she had him by his shirt collar was the moment we decided Risk was too risky a game for us to play together.

Apples to Apples is much safer.

Sage words, my friend.

It's like I always say: I can survive living without air conditioning.

I won't be happy and I can't guarantee the people around me will survive, but I can survive without air conditioning!

Thank you. I needed that.

It just makes no sense whatsoever. It's like revealing Santa Claus as a child-killing thief. It just doesn't work.

Besides, comics canon is that Cap can wield Mjolnir. So there.

A hero, who was actually an undercover villain, working to tear down the very organization that he was under deep cover for, yet also working for it to tear down the nation he's named after, is worthy to wield Mjolnir, the hammer that only Thor is supposed to be worthy of. Parsing the logic in that one will cause permanent brain breakage. It's safer to just laugh.

 

And it's a major slap in the face, too. Cap is the hero. He's the all-around good guy who inspires people to do better and be better. He's done that for 75 storming years. To think that I admired this hero, only to have some stupid writer turn him into a stupid undercover villain, is just unthinkable. 

 

(Plus, as others have pointed out, Cap's creators were Jewish. So, yeah.)

Couldn't have said it better myself.

And to the creators of this publicity stunt: Cap would be ashamed of you.

You guys are forgetting:

The original Steve Rogers died along with the majority of Earth-616 when it collided with the Ultimate universe and exploded before Secret Wars. That universe no longer exists. One similar universe was placed in its place, but now, things and history are not necessarily what they were before.

I love Apples to Apples. I was also recently introduced to Telestrations, which is sort of a combination of Pictionary and Telephone. Basically each player gets a little notepad of mini-dry-erase boards. Each person writes a word or phrase on the first page and then flips to page two and attempts to draw the phrase they wrote. Then everybody passes their notepad to the next person in the circle, who looks at the drawing but not the explanation of what it is, and on the next page they write their interpretation of the picture. And you keep passing the notepads around, distorting the original idea, until you end up with the notebook that you wrote and drew in first. And the BEST part is the end of a round when everyone shares how their original idea mutated with each person's reinterpretation. Telestrations is now my favorite party game.

"I understand you have made a decision, but since it's a stupid chull decision I've elected to ignore it"

And someone donated the money she was going to spend on the issue to a holocaust museum.

If a terrible twist can only be excused with "something something convoluted continuity, universey Magic chullpull," then it's a REALLY terrible twist.

My mistborn campaign is an altered reality setting where a small number of crucial details changed ( and then naturally I added a lot of details and other bits). The point being; a lot of the book characters are still kicking around and sometime they make appearances in the game. In the session today one of the players (the only one at the table who hadn't read at least the first book) decided to approach a member of house Venture about something at a ball. So I decided, what the heck, why not Elend? So this character, a young half-breed allomancer posing as a noble who had been doing an excellent job so far in the session of using her charm and rioting to great effect, was trying to talk to Elend while he was reading, and failing completely. The other players at the table were finding the whole situation hilarious and it was a lot of fun to do, brief as it was

(My, that robe isn't very flattering, is it? Oh well. )
