@evilstu Lol… the 80s thread missed my first record that I owned being RUN DMC’s self titled vinyl and the first CD being Green Day’s “Dookie”. As far as the nostalgia goggles I agree mine fall onto videogames. Doom has held strong enough to be reborn better than say Duke Nukem or Shadow Warrior.

@sundancer Good point about tech. Hammers need to be observed with great respect as Middenheimers have taught us from Mordheim. Good luck with the car repair. I can say that the ideas of vehicle engineering have diverged since WWII in tank design. Germany has pressed the boundaries of what you can get out of a machine while Russian thought was “How easy can this be fixed?”. The difference between Mercedes Benz and Lada.

@robert Good on you for relearning BB. The graphics for the game are great as compared to the first iteration on the videogame. I too have nobody around me to play but the shiny bug bit me at a time when I saw a good sale and I have a set of copper coated metal block dice. They are heavy and just work well for my sense of wanting tactile input in gaming (next step a mousepad material BB pitch)

@rayzryr Damn good point from Jurassic Park. I gripe slightly about differences between books and movies but that is a great lynchpin moment to consider the entire story. After this the rest of the series really shouldn’t exist as film. I will check out the video later as these responses take a bit.

@kiraamida You are doing everything right. Go ahead and toss your thoughts on the questions that mage posed at the tail end of the first post. If you weren’t alive yet/too young for the 90s give your thoughts on whatever is related.

@mage For shame. We lack our fictional currencies? I proposed teddybear skins. In the far flung times of the 90s that began our glorious trek in nerd-dom (look at the figure development) that was an era where high end geekery started to develop. As such, we take the stuffing out of childhood and use their empty husks for trade…. A bit too grim? I thought it worked for a Stuffed Heroes analogy and cross it with Lord of the Flies meeting Stranger Things (minus the world ending/people devouring elements).

As far as pledges, I’m still working on that Eldar Epic army. I got the pics to prove it.
