The lawsuit against Beaver's Mini Mart — in Beavercreek, no less — is one of many Buc-ee's has filed over the years against businesses it claims have logos too similar to its own.
Beaver's Mini Mart doesn't sell gas. It's miles from the nearest interstate. Still, Buc-ee's says its customers may be confused by the mini mart's smiling beaver logo. Because beavers. Photo credit: Phil Didion/The Enquirer
And it's all free for streaming on Bluesky, YouTube, Threads, etc. All you have to do is show up at the right time and come on in, virtually speaking. So don't miss TBRCon 2026. You will regret it if you do, and you know regret has a way of coming back to haunt you.
Agreed! Love the NPC art from some of the AD&D and BECMI books for that exact reason.
If it had been a beer bottle, my appreciation of this post would have been drunkenly yet musically appropriate.
Merry Christmas for me usually means a rather unhappy new year for my Delta Green agents. #TTRPGs #HorrorGaming #DeltaGreen #RollSAN #HaveYouSeenTheYellowHashtag
And here's a portion of the AC "About" page. Not one of these "revered," "distinguished," "respected" "journalists" has a single previous employer listed? Yeah, right. It's an AI site, regurgitating content from other sources. @bennettmcintosh.com is right. Block, report and move on.
THIS. Do not feed the trolls, including AI bot trolls. The "AC" original post is definitely bait, and that site is not legit. Here's a recent post by one AC "author" shared by another AC "author." Notice the "First Name-Middle Initial-Last Name" pattern?
Likely a coincidence that @nerdist.bsky.social posted this article from Sept. 10 more than a week later on Sept. 19, which happens to be ... Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Because it bears repeating … ad nauseum, apparently. #DeltaGreen #TTRPGs
It’s #BandcampFriday! If you’re of the mind to drop some filthy lucre on music today, @bandcamp.com is waiving its share of the revenue and sending all the proceeds to the artists.
Once you get into the material, a safety mechanism isn’t a bad idea if you think your group might use it. But #DeltaGreen can be a trying experience even before any x-card situations: Prior to a session, if your Handler says each player should have a backup character ready, they mean it!
Probably true for many words he uses, but this one is of particular interest at the moment.
Thanks to the impending economic chaos from today’s press conference, even some of my hillfolk brethren are starting to understand.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court race WAS rigged, but I hear the carpetbagger who pumped millions of dollars into his chosen candidate's campaign, used multiple schemes to pay voters and played on fears about "the future of America and Western Civilization" lost anyway.
Civ VI: ~6,500 hours. Civ V: ~13,000 hours. Civ III & IV: I don’t even wanna know. The One-More-Turn Void is real.
