Thinking of finally getting around to writing my "Buckaroo Banzai" game. Which combination is more euphonious? Ninja Scientist Rockstars? Rockstar Scientist Ninjas? Scientist Ninja Rockstars? Or a different combination?

A brief thought on spray primers for minis painting. White is the best for brighter colors, but is the worst at holding paint. Black is best for darks and shadows, but needs more coats. Grey is the best for getting a buzz in enclosed spaces.

I think that painting warhammer and D&D models worked as an innoculation against Funko Pops.

If I strike it rich, one of the things I want to do is start a dice company that makes proxy dice for games that use proprietary dice. Force them to either stop doing that, or drop the price of their special dice. I'm not paying $20 for dice with symbols unique to your game.

I like wargames. However, that is three different hobbies in a trench coat. There's the game itself of course. Then there's building the models. And of course, paining models. Since getting my 3D printer, I've been missing building models. Which had always been half a pain and half creative.

Someone at Netflix is all "what if we only make the worst person fight the worst person?" And that's their fresh idea every couple of months.

"I use AI cause I can't draw" Fuck you, lame excuse. I can't draw either, so you know what? Going to learn out of spite.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

People don't listen to the lyrics when they ARE in English.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "While I want to make your job easier, I don't know how to do your job."

Why are we still giving Val Venis attention? We know he's a shitty person, let him fade back to nothing.

me on my death bed in the 2050s: "All Star" isn't the song from Shrek, it's the song from Mystery Men!!!

This is the time of year when I particularly dread wrestling contracts, and vague weekend plans of not on TV wrestlers. Every January, I contemplate things like "Maybe LSD return" or "I wonder what Nick Aldis is wearing under his suit" or "I wonder if that Feast or Fired was an excuse".

Finally got a nice set of dice poured that i can turn into Kickstarter rewards

No, if you were wrestling in 2000, you should be gracefully bowing out now. You've ostensibly had a 25 year career, go enjoy retirement while you can.

#Paintslam26 Starts January 1st 2026. I hope you'll join us for another awesome year of hobby! paintslam.com Here's a hobby log for you to save and print <3

My kids are grown and out of the house, but Christmas is on a weekday, so I still won't be sleeping in.

Either my sister will hate me, or the nieces will. No matter what, successful Uncle-ing.

Yet another TTRPG thing I saw online. 2026 Goals. So here are mine. 1. Learn and play Fabula Ultima. 2. Actually put in some design work on King County, Maine. 3. Look at some wargames with a more modern design theory than GW. 4. Maybe finally get another campaign together?

Danhausen is a license to print money. Danhausen vs Mr Iguana would be a feud that would sell out every arena ever.

A friend of mine starting posting about how many TTRPG games he's played in the last year, and got around 30. His lifetime is much higher. So I started doing the work of figuring out that list. For the year I hit 13. Lifetime is 50+ off the top of my head, and I know I'm missing a lot.

Feeling nostalgic for things that I shouldn't. Smoke filled basements painting miniatures. Smoke filled attics playing gothic rpgs. Smoke filled restaurants and concerts. Oh, wait, I was just having a craving for a cigarette. Weird how that keeps happening years after you quit.

Today is the final day to vote in the 2025 Glitter Bombs for the best of women's+ wrestling! tiny.cc/gritglitterpod Fill out as many or as few as you want. Winners revealed on New Year's Eve! #AEW #WWE #NXT #Stardom #TNA #indiewrestling #prowrestling #wrestlesky 🤼🤼‍♂️🤼‍♀️

I am very tired of the acts that got me into wrestling back in the 90's still being front and center today. I love many of them, but I don't need to still see them in the ring or in the title picture.

Boy, I don't want to be a gate keeping asshole, but the number of people I see on r/rpg and r/rpgdesign who have obviously only played the ampersand game is way too high.

Someone found the sepia filter. Are they also all wearing cowboy get ups?

My gram came to the US on a boat - the ferry from New Brunswick to Maine.

"You'll be visited by three spirits" The three spirits:

I hate that title reigns are measured in days. That is quite possibly the stupidest way to measure. It should be measured in successful defenses.

Toxic masculinity is terrible branding. It should be called "asshole masculinity". Asshole masculinity is more obvious that it's "not all men"; just the assholes being an asshole to you.

My take on the AEW fish tank spot → As an occasional aquarist I am relieved that no live fish were used or harmed. However, it was a terrible environment for a fish, no substrate, no filter, no heater, and a paltry 10 gallons.

In that case, speed and stoplight cameras that issue fines should be voided. Not to mention EZPass.

It's that time of year again, when the Stephen King RPG that lives in my head, is scratching like a mad chicken creating a hole in my skull large enough to burst through in a second hatching.

Look it's simple, she said "No, but..." with a fee that high.

Here's bit of dystopia for you made up entirely from my mind: The reason that Wil E Coyote's purchases failed is because they were from: American Carbide Manufacturing Enterprises A subsidiary of Union Carbide - well known for their corporate negligence.

One of the weirder bits in my life is that I sometimes realize that a person that I've followed on various social platforms wrote one of the TTRPG books that I have on my shelf that I picked up independently of knowing them.

A children's cereal based on Hellraiser - CinnaBites.

Finally thought of a good AI use case that no one will ever do. When I record a meeting or something, I want it to replace my voice with Burt Reynolds when I'm listening to the play back. Not anyone else, just me, when I'm listening to myself.

Almost as much time has passed from the end of Star Trek: TOS (1969) to Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) than the last of the new series of movies - Star Trek Beyond 2016. So when are we getting the Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Karl Urban in the maroon uniforms?

When I was a kid my pop taught me something I'm going to paraphrase here: If you are using the cross to sell your work instead of it standing on its own merit, it probably isn't that great of work. Back in the day, it was about the cross, but I think the flag applies just as much if not more so.

Someone steal this for me, so that I don't give WOTC/Hasbro any money.

I think I'm going to start selling "Tiger Insurance*" on Smackdown. *Does not protect against Detroit Baseball players, Cereal Mascots, or Peter Parker.

There are three movies better than the novels/short stories they were based on: Stand By Me > The Body Shawshank Redemption > The Rita Hayworth Redemption Bicentennial Man > Bicentennial Man Two Stephen King, and one Isaac Asimov.

I think in the next few years, there's going to be a massive slow down of new. That's when the real modern classics will show.
