I have a bunch of old roms. PM me and I'll see what I can do to get them to you.

He's (surprisingly) demonstrated a willingness to actually get some things done. I never would have thought that he would given all we were hearing about him before, but he's not been a complete roadblock to governing, so the question is do Dems take this small concession that he's actually willing to govern or take a chance that the Republicans put someone in there who is more hostile and prone to standoffs.

I tend to agree, though. Politically, it doesn't make a lot of sense for Dems to support him, or for Republicans to side with Democrats, which their base will absolutely loathe, so if he gets put on the chopping block it's likely that no one will save him on either side.

I never played the games but was able to pick up enough through context clues about what each group is all about and generally what's going on. I do have lots of questions about the specifics of each group, but I'm hoping that in future episodes (I am only a few episodes in) and seasons they flesh things out a bit more to fill in some of the more mysterious aspects of the show.

You see, if it's a legitimate Republican, the body has a way of shutting down the bullshit so it doesn't get implanted in the brain.

My local food bank is my favorite place to donate and volunteer at. My friend also works as a CASA so I donate to them as well (link is for the national organization, but they're may be a local group you can donate to directly). Other than that, look around your area for local nonprofits. There are lots of local charities that work with kids, help solve local problems, etc that can always use some financial help. There are several organizations that you can go to if you want to vet and check on the charities to make sure they're legit.

I just got the jingle jam collection and started playing Godfall. Straight forward smack-em-with-a-sword game but lots of fun so far. Kinda reminds me of kingdoms of amalur. Hoping to try out a few more games from the collection as well as I've heard good things about quite a few of them.

I use Plex. I have different libraries set up for movies, TV shows, educational videos, home videos, and during the pandemic it was great because my kids were doing dance class remotely, so I even set up a library so they could have all their dance class videos in one spot to practice their routines. I also organize my family photos there as well, which works out great to have those and the home videos all in one place. I can even give family members access to various libraries if they want to view family photos/videos, which has been handy as well.

Lots of people swear by jellyfin, but I've had so much success with Plex that I haven't bothered to check it out. It's probably easy enough to get a server for each up and running and see which you prefer.

Do you know where the pairing key is stored? The instructions just say "obtain the pairing key" which isn't particularly helpful...

Yeah, this finally clarifies where the terms shard and wedge come from for me!

A removal spell that can turn into a decent threat? This is going to be dope in limited and I expect to lose a lot of games to this card.
