Three posts in a row like this and I'm just joining in
I've been a Drafthouse stan since '06. Honestly, it's the only brand I ever had any loyalty to. And for the past 2 years its been fraying
Anyways: I'm done now. I'm using every red cent of gift cards I've been given asap and now I'm literally an AMC girlie
Because fuck, if th Alamo isnt gonna stand up against phone users and mouth users and aren't gonna give us decent Queso halfway across the country... what matters anymore?
(almost flaired "austin" because of where I started. But it's been over a decade since then and I literally only moved to places with a local Alamo. Very betrayed.)

So! Most people find CoT to be the weakest. I skip a lot of it and I'm on my 6th full re-read
My wife is on her first go. And I decided to do something that I read about here years ago with her: we skipped the Cleansing of Saidin at the end of Winter's Heart and read Crossroads up until the first Cadsuane Chapter, then flipped back
This had all the intended effect: all the CoT buildup mystery is about "The Beacon" and the anticipation of "omfg what could it be" led to a huge pay-off

I'm having a really hard time finding where the jRPG things are happening online these days? I miss the forum era!
So yeah: Discords, Youtube Creators, Websites, Conventions, other subreddits, even Secret Cabals Under the Local 7-11 That Meet Every Other Thursday... I want to know about them all!

I have a LOT of EDH decks. It's a problem! So since 2014 I've been buying my sleeves in bulk at higher-than-wholesale but lower-than-retail per unit.
But... I can't find anyone with any stock anymore? Do any of y'all have recommendations on bulk high quality sleeve purchasing? (I'm most fond of Ultra-Pro Eclipse, KMC, and Dragon Shield (solid colors))
