  • You’ll dig it if you’re a Trek fan, especially if you like the ships. Oh lordy, there are ships. However, it’s an older game, and it’s very grindy/paygate-y, if you know what I mean. The game is free to play, but it really pushes microtransactions and loot boxes. I wouldn’t say it’s any worse than your average MMO, though.

    That said though, it’s a great game if you’re a Trekkie. It’s set in the Prime universe, picking up several years after Spock disappears in the 2009 Abrams movie. It’s still in active development, with new content coming out all the time, and several actors from past shows have done voice acting for certain storylines. And the ships, holy crap, the ships…




  • In the interest of your safety (and that of your fam), I’d seriously consider backing off for now until you’re sure the next move you make is a safe one. The police notified your FIL’s old boss that he tipped them off, and even though you’re in a different part of the country (by the sound of it), it’s possible the old boss might learn you also called about the property. And if you and your FIL were the only ones to ever ask questions about the property, you’re potentially drawing attention to yourself if you make the info public, even if it’s done anonymously. I mean, who else would they suspect?

    I’m not saying to do nothing; I have no suggestions on what you can actually do. But your FIL is dead (I am sorry for your loss), so no one’s going to be disappointed if you call a time out and take time to think things through. Because if your suspicions are true, these are dangerous people you’re dealing with here. Be careful, OP.


  • Fuck, that was so tragic. Would it have changed his life if he had lived a couple more months? Would he have cleaned up and gotten his shit together? We’ll never know. The news really cast a pall over that year, especially for those who already knew of Sublime. It just felt so unfair, man. We had finally come to accept Kurt’s death, were still mourning Shannon’s passing, and now Brad, who never got to reap the fruits of his labor, was gone. He left us a gift, and I mean one hell of a gift because it’s a freaking beautiful album, but it’s hard to not wonder “what if?”

    Like Kurt and Shannon, he was just so wonderfully talented and beloved, the world suddenly felt very cold and slightly less bright in his absence. Just so unfair. Pour one out for Brad, he is still sorely missed.
