With Pokémon coming out, feel obligated to ask who your favorite starter is and why? For me, it's hard to pick between good old reliable Charmander or the more recent Rowlet - Kody Gipson (Discord) 
Last night I got to see Tool live for the first time in about 13 years, and it got me wondering: what's the greatest live musical performance you've attended in your life? - ROOK aka Rob Hudak (Discord) 
The world is a crazier than usual place right now. My question is: how is everyone doing? Take care of yourselves. Thanks for all the work that you do. - LegendofGamer102 (Discord)
