Phantasy Star 3 sounds interesting. I'll have to check it out. The Phantasy Star series is something I've always been curious about, but aside from a bit of PSO, never actually played much of.

I am a relatively new teacher in Oklahoma. In my experience, the teachers I've worked with are a fairly mixed bag. There are absolutely amazing teachers working in Oklahoma that are knowledgeable and passionate about their content areas. I have also noticed a fair amount of teachers that are wildly under qualified or seem to only be in a classroom for the opportunity to take advantage of the system (frequently missing work, not actually teaching their students content, etc.) Oftentimes, though schools don't have many options because they simply need bodies to supervise the students. It is very heartbreaking.

"My first year teaching I was pulled aside and told by my principal, “you actually have a degree in this, you’ll have to step in to help your team” - because the other science teachers were a Physical Education teacher and the schools secretary."

I can relate to this. I'll be entering my 4th full-year teaching. In my short time working in education, I have become the most senior and qualified teacher for my subject and grade level. I do the bulk of the curriculum planning for my subject.

The politics injected into public education via State Superintendent Ryan Walters is absolutely disgusting.

Do you have a playlist you can share?

I'm solidly neutral good, but have occasional deviations into lawful good and chaotic good territory.

 

This is likely my favorite album ever. Embrace is a short-lived Ian McKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi) project. This band is part of the 1985 "revolution summer" to push the D.C. hardcore scene to be less violent and more introspective.

If you like this song, I recommend you give the complete album a listen.

You don't happen to have the strip from June 2nd, 1982 do you? I looked through the board and your posts begin on June 3rd, 1982.

I recently rediscovered this song while watching Gregg Araki's film Totally Fucked Up. That movie has a banging soundtrack.

 

I've been playing a bit of this classic the last couple of days. I love the game's comic book-esque look during the dialogue cutscenes. Very stylish.

The Japanese cover is amazing as well.

Hell yeah! I just updated. Thanks!

 

I've never played this, but I love the whimsical artwork. Reminds me a bit of old MTG cards.

This is a really cool song from the album You'd Prefer an Astronaut. I've read that this track was the inspiration for the Deftone's "Change (In the House of Flies)."

A great song from early alternative/punk band Hüsker Dü's 1986 album Candy Apple Grey. If you enjoy this track I highly recommend you give Hüsker Dü's 1984 album Zen Arcade a listen as well.
