Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Jesus christ. It angers me deeply how not a single damn person in power who wants to at least pretend like they give a shit shout trans people will read even one damn book about the history of sex segregation in sports, cause you’d see how it’s all just sexist bs. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned. Thought you'd enjoy this.

lol. lmao even.

New favorite thing: when my cat snaps at the laser dot, I act like she got it and try to make her let it go. She runs away with both joy and confusion. "I got it! ...I got it?"

I am at a cat video fest and there are kittens here and I got to hold a little tortie!! I started tearing up from the cute!

There's something funny about these d20s that just came in.

Wall Street Journal doing its best this week as part of a time-honored tradition.

I'm one who bought a Virtual Boy. I enjoyed it a lot, playing so much golf and Nester's Funky Bowling on it. At one point I tried turning it into a wearable but the head unit was far too heavy for that! I lent it to my friend Tony like 20 years ago. I wonder if he still has it. He'd better!

Tonight in tabletop, we played Shadowdark! The party had to help out what was basically the Barge of the Dead. One PC had 1 hit point max with a bad roll at creation. It was GLORIOUS as the party tried to solve the adventure's problem AND keep him alive! In the end, they were triumphant!

This a thousand times ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Playing online, I don't get that post-tabletop night, going out to eat after session and talk about the night. Been mulling around an idea for a few weeks that's related. 1) Useful for me to recap and chat out ideas; 2) might be interesting to listen to for others. Stay tuned.

so excited to be back on @404media.co with a story about how lofi girl grew from a YouTube channel into a chill beats empire ✨✨✨✨

I wonder why all these great indie games are coming out of Australia where they have a massive public funding effort for videogame creators

OK this looks like a treat. I have to see this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjP-...

This masterpiece just showed up on my radio mix.

We can't confirm this soapy asteroid is a bar of Bold Bubbles, but we won't deny it, either. #StarTrekScouts youtu.be/j-KvjtSgfJs?...

A tree just stole my headphones as I walked under it, distracted by the book I'm reading. I wish I could have seen that from any outsider's point of view.

Republicans calling foul because Democrats using their own playbook against them. "Republicans claiming his blockade is 'unprecedented' are deliberately ignoring the previous four years [when they did this in 2021]." www.inforum.com/news/north-d...

Woke to a post implying D&D is bad because its homebrewed so much. What they call weakness, I consider a strength. It's a game mouldable to your taste! This is the origin of the game! D&D has weaknesses, but homebrewing it is not one of them. (This is not the same as saying all homebrew is good.)

"Lesbian monster gal"

There's a good chance I visited the site and saw this list. I'd stay up late on Monday nights to watch c|net Central on USA Network, print out zines, and I felt like I was living in the future with sites like this. What a wild, wonderful time.

Nothing making me feel older today than asking friends, "Is this how people communicate these days, or am I just boring and they want me to go away?" 😅

soon games will simply be categorized by endless screaming AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Tonight in 5e, the party stole the BBEG's dungam (totally not gundam, nope) using an incompatible power source, the power source for their own dungam. This overloaded it, they walked it into a volcano, destroying it. On its way down it gave the Terminator's thumb's up, and then blew up.

Is season 3 of Strange New Worlds going to be known in the future as the gas leak season?

For the first time in a long time last night, my dad and I connected and it was nice. He dug out boxes of some of his old records and he let me take some. I'd have taken more but space is limited. Seeing my joy, and his nostalgia, he's going to get his player going again. 😃

At the theater to see Jaws! It'll somehow be my first full viewing and I figured seeing it in the theater would be perfect!

I don't know which songs YouTube Music is classifying as Sad, because I haven't listened to anything I would classify as sad music in a very long time.

For real, the Talent is the most fun 5e class I've ever run for. The player absolutely loves it too. @hellomcdm.bsky.social shop.mcdmproductions.com/products/the...

Tonight in tabletop the party's Talent (psionic) smashed a bunch of zombies in a pit with a tree like some kind of grotesque mortar and pestle, and later the BBEG gave the party an ultimatum: come to my lair so I can kill you or I destroy your town. Let's see how this level 12 party does!

I love Overwatch for the articles.

2nd Aug monthly request - Korrasami Congrats to the winners!

Rewatched "This is Starfleet" last night and while I didn't hate it the first time, I enjoyed it more on this viewing knowing it was going to be a hit piece for 95% of it. It needed another 5 minutes of him going, "But I was wrong because..." and maybe short clips from the rest of the season.

Me: I'm going to go to bed early tonight. Also me: May as well pound out a 2500 fiction for an NPC in our tabletop game who hasn't been seen IRL in 10+ months. So much for going to bed early.

Cats love cozy spaces

One of my favorite places in town, Pixeled barcade, is closing down for good today. Giving it a send-off. ❤️

I saw a post asking which fantasy book got you into fantasy, and I can't answer it. I don't remember a book doing it. I started with sci-fi, and don't remember reaching much before reading Lord of the Rings once the first two movies were out. I may have, but I just don't remember. It's a shame!

Dornogal Dwarves got such a bad deal in War Within. We move into their town, set up a base we never use in town, crash a city onto their shores, help goblins move themselves in, bring outside armies to the island without using them, and now we're going to vacate for Silvermoon City.

Just dropping this right here... www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...

Party saw Lair Action on the initiative list before I said anything. Two of them said, "We should also get a Lair Action since this is our town." On the Lair Action turn I said, "You intuited correctly! Here are your Lair Actions," and gave them a list of NPC allies to aid them. Excitement ensued!

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine that dramatically BOOSTS the immune system’s ability to fight tumors- even WITHOUT targeting a SPECIFIC cancer type. It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery AND radiation treatment.
