I've hated the LCS since it was announced.

Very long. Good weekend read, though.

The Inside Story of How the Navy Spent Billions on the “Little Crappy Ship”
==

Littoral combat #ships were supposed to launch the #Navy into the future. Instead they broke down across the globe and many of their #weapons never worked.

Now the Navy is getting rid of them. One is less than five years old.

I always try to buy something when I visit my #LCS

Didn't have tons of time tonight so I started looking at some of my guilty pleasures. Found a decent copy of Cap 269 with the first appearance of Team America (aka Thunderiders).

Is it with anything? Hell nah! But motorcycle heros always kicks ass!

Not since spring 2016 has my favourite team #CLG (now #NRG) won an #LCS final. This weekend watching NRG was a blast and exactly why sticking with them when they weren't so hot in the interim was worth it.

This Fly vs Dig game having some pretty crazy pauses so far… #LCS

Are there any good esports servers or accounts to follow on Mastodon yet? Mainly around LCS/LCK/Worlds

Golden Guardians early game is nuts. Cloud9 just look dizzy #LCS

Getting ready to shoot a commercial for #VisitRaleigh at the #LCS #SpringFinals!

#MondayMotivation - what #comicbooks are going to get you headed to the #LCS this week?

For me it's going to be The Ambassadors #1 from #ImageComics .. another Mark Millar jam! I'm enjoying the new X-Cellent run, and excited to see so many new #comics releases all at once by one of my favorite writers, and I quite enjoy Frank Quitely's artwork as well!

You guys tumble across any #comics lately that you took a chance on?

Dug more into my $1 #binbuster #comicbooks I bought from the #LCS yesterday, and found one I really dig after thumbing through it quickly!

#Idol from #EpicComics

The artwork is fun, and the colors are crisp.. and there some weird stuff that appears to be happening which is right up my alley!

Pretty sure they had several more issues so I may have to scour those bins again later this week and go pick up some more bargains!

Every time I got the the #LCS and buy a shit ton of $1 #comicbooks I'm intially excited and then I get to the car and I'm like -

Who the fuck is Steel Mosquito? And why on earth did I buy Extreme Sacrifice when I know it's a dumpster fire?

I'd be better off saving my money and put it toward getting #artwork done on those #comics I swore I'd print one day...

By total accident my #lcs sold us the latest #Dogman book before its 3/28/23 release and never have I felt so much 3rd-5th grade reading power!

The cover of Strange Sports #1 #comicbooks asks the hard hitting question :

"Why did the devil challenge a World Series team to a game of #baseball?"

I'm heading to the #LCS today to do some bin busting for some $1 #comics , but I'ma have to take a little time to read this bad boy as well! 😂
