Try to catch a sunset at Oasis Texas Brewing Company (not to be confused with The Oasis, which is next door and has awful overpriced food and drinks).

Will you be around on a weekend during that timeframe? Both UT Football and Austin FC games are a lot of fun, and you can usually find cheap seats if you aren’t too picky about location.

If you’re into art, The Blanton Museum of Art is always a good stop (works doubly well if you go to a Longhorns game, as it’s situated on the edge of UT’s campus).

Make sure you try some BBQ while you’re in town, as we have some of the best brisket in the country. Franklin is the headliner, but there are lots of other options in the same tier of goodness with less of a line, so feel free to reach out if you want specific recommendations there.

Sweet. It already looked like a breath of fresh air after the NSMB rehashes, but if it’s getting it’s own direct, Nintendo must have really put a lot of love into this one. Can’t wait!

Tragic. I get that he was underperforming his lofty new salary this season, but he and Stuver were the heart of the team, IMO. Wish we had at least gotten another year or two with him.

Welp, our cup curse continues…

Damn, Redes has such an absurd knack for hitting the ball straight at the only player that can stop him from scoring.

Whirlwind is rough without either the Bold Chieftan’s aspect or the Marshal Glyph’s secondary effect. Both is obviously preferred, but at least one is almost essential to make the build function in higher tiers. I waited to even attempt switching over to WW until I had enough paragon levels for a fully-powered Marshal Glyph, and it helped a lot.

With the relative proximity and all the small towns in between, it really does seem like we’re trending toward an eventual DFW situation. Then the question becomes whether or not we eventually see an I-10N/I-10S split like they have with I-35. We’re the largest city in the country with only one interstate, so I wouldn’t rule out the possibility if we continue to outpace national growth trends.

Hope Zardes is ok; this recent injury bug is ridiculous!

Might depend on if/when his immigration status gets sorted. For now, he still can’t leave the US

I agree it’s total bullshit, but there actually is a contract of carriage involved that skiplagging violates, so airlines are within their rights to cancel an itinerary if they catch such a violation. With that said, fuck BS airline policies and fares.

Yeah, Diablo games hit a good sweet spot— mechanically engaging enough to make moment to moment gameplay feel dynamic , but not so engaging that it’s too difficult or overwhelming for inexperienced gamers like my wife. Diablo 3 was one of the first handful of games she learned how to play during the COVID lockdown (after Animal Crossing, of course 😂)

I always start a new Diablo game with spin2win Barbarian, so that’s what I’m doing to start with; I’ll probably switch to Sorcerer or Necromancer for the season. My wife is doing a Pulverize Druid, and we’ve both been enjoying it! We put hundreds of hours into D3 together, so we’re just happy to have something fresh but familiar to dig into.

As far as the trailer goes, I like that there’s new quests and story to go with it, but it’s hard to get too much from it without any significant gameplay reveal. The description the devs gave sounds interesting though!

 

In all seriousness, what a start to the second half of the season! Really happy to see Wolff give up on the Rigoni experiment and go back to what worked last year. The chemistry difference is just night and day. Defense is still really sus, but the West is such a shitshow this year that there’s still everything to play for. ¡Listos!
