Oh! The Clair Obscur artbook is getting an English translation! Oh! It's from the terrible Lilformers man's company! Oh! Guess I'll be getting the French one!

TFN all booked for Wednesday to Mondaaaaaay 🎉🎉🎉 I'll see you - yes, YOU - in beautiful Birmingham for shenanigans this Julyyyyyy Can't wait, friendos

The last remaining missing MST3K went up online today so now I can honestly say that I've watched every episode 😭😭😭 This has very much been my "reel of Doctor Who found in a shed"

*sets alarm for TFN hotel booking tomorrow* ... *writes note reminding me to keep my phone on me so that I will hear alarm for TFN hotel booking tomorrow* ... places note on top of keys so that I won't miss the note*

"That's cool but I kinda wish the bike could also transform and fly" OH BOY DO I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU, FRIEND Not to keep raggin' on the Big Brick Boys - they'll be fine - but this is the kind of random inventiveness that has perhaps been going a li'l neglected in favor of the cool licensed stuff

This is my most gatekeepy (is it even gatekeepy? I dunno) opinion about games, movies, books TTRPGs, comics etc. For any discussion other than the specific "I am avoiding this media because X" you should probably engage with the media first otherwise you're just discoursing to discourse, y'know?

Naw, the fun build? Chrome pieces? All prints, no stickers? AND the lighting? For 15 smackers? *bangs fist on table* Ridiculous! Friendship ended with LEGO Now LUMIBRICKS is my best friend

Picked these lil guys up to try out because y'all KNOW I loves me some steampunk and I want to see what the quality of these Lumibricks kits is like (Sorry Lego; you know I loved you but you have genuinely priced yourself out of my range even as an adult - as much as I am - with a full-time job)

I just saw someone who'd put a link below their essay-blogpost for any readers who wanted AI to summarise it for them instead of reading the whole thing and maaaaan... I used to think that *my* self-respect was low Please love yourself and your work more

A lost traveler seeking sanctuary 😭😭😭

"I mean I wasn't even born when Lord of the Rings came out" Well neither was I, that's noth-OH YOU MEAN THE MOVIES GET OUT, GET OUT OF HERE, UNNERVINGLY TINY CHILD IN THIS HOUSE WE DO NOT REMIND PEOPLE OF THE INEXORABLE PASSAGE OF TIME

You can dislike whatever, but know that if you're still whingein' to me about the same movie ten years on I definitely have Thoughts about how healthy your relationship with media is Ultimately only you can choose how to spend your emotional energy... I simply suggest that you are choosing poorly

Zeus, swanning around like he owns the place

"No spoilers, but if you're a fan of [character] you should probably brace yourself" haha that's nice oh lemme just yeet you through the window real quick

TF... Nation? 👀👀👀

Ayyy, a new addition to my favorite Greek mythology TTRPG, Aegean I love this game; the sense of time and place, the communal city management subgame, trying to make sure that your hubris doesn't overshadow your glory so that the gods can't fuck you up...

So a few weeks ago I had to undergo a bunch of tests for cancer and today they came back negative \○/ Apologies if I've been a little quiet lately!

I'd like you all to welcome the newest member of the family

Me when my Raccoon City landlord is explaining that to use the laundry room in the basement I simply need to retrieve three medallions and a fuse

Come to Birmingham this summer if you want your ass kicked... by how cool and fun and welcoming the TFN gang are! Meet all the best folks... and also meeeeeeeee 🎉🎉🎉

Read this tonight and boy howdy does it still hold up; great stuff Also with one volume left to go, it sure seems like they're rushing to get the entirety of YA collected in Epics before, say... a certain conspicuously unfilled movie slot next summer huh *whistles innocently*

It has been NINE MILLION* YEARS since I went to a TFN concert and my body is ready *eight

Had enough free time to carefully assemble this this afternoon! It doesn't really show up in the photos but there's a really nice translucent/glitter effect on her wings that looks great in-hand

The idea that TigerSharks has never warranted a DVD release but could somehow still justify a luxury toyline is funny to me

The ammonite is a type of extinct cephalopod that lived from the Jurassic through to the Paleocene period

New Pendragon release, babyyyyy A thing I really appreciate about this line is that they've been making sure that all the adventures they release can be run even if you only have the starter set instead of the full core book

Finished up Wonder Man and that was freaking GREAT Exactly the kind of thing I've wanted them to do with the shows; a non-superhero narrative but still using the superhero universe No traditional villain-based plot structure, just the relationship between two guys and some fabulous acting

A few months back there was a guy at the next table droning on and ON about crypto to his obviously bored friends until one of them shut him up by shouting in the peppiest Informecial Guy voice you've ever heard "FINALLY! A currency JUST for paedophiles!" My own friends had to stop me from choking

There's been a big online argument between the 'let people enjoy things' and 'let people hate things' crowds the last few days and tbh both camps are missing the more reasonable stance that is 'love and hate whatever you want, just try not to be a weird dick in other people's mentions'

Nexus Prime won't see your comments, but all your friends who turn into three different kinds of nothing will

Oh wow, they diagnosed the Internet

hahaha WHOOPS Yeah, I guess you could say I had fun with this one

My friend has set out to watch every Marvel movie for the first time between now and Doomsday and asked if she could talk to me, our group's resident super-freak, about each one afterwards and I am trying to think of a more mature response than sicko_window.jpg

If a conversation goes badly enough you should be allowed to come back later and redo it in ADR 😩😩😩

In a delightful touch, the new @blpublishing.bsky.social volume of Catherine Crowe stories came with a crow feather tucked between the pages Less delightfully, when I took it out of the package I thought it was a set of big black gently moving spider legs sticking out of the book, lol MY HEART 😩😩😩

Y'know, I think I'm gonna need Kingpin to die at the end of DD: Born Again; great actor an' all but the last few years of real life have really eroded my tolerance for the 'murderous asshole who's untouchable because of his money and connections' archetype

"Special discount if you follow our pre-order page now! Exclusive bonus if you sign up to our newsletter! And don't forget to join our discord for an additional item that won't be available anywhere else!" Sir I just want to give you some money and for you to give me the thing, this is exhausting

Tonight we watched 1985 classic The Last Dragon, which is probably the best blaxploitation comedy kung fu musical I've seen this WEEK My four-word review: "Wait... is this DeBarge?"

This app adding 'posts a lot' to the possible user labels feels like when a videogame has 'it's good to take occasional breaks you know' on its loading screens

Got some french onion soup going in the slow cooker while I'm out today so by the time I get back in I expect my house to be firmly in the pocket of Big Onion

Imaginative AND exciting? In THIS economy?

Dang, they got me agaaaaain (also I'm assuming Diaclone colors, cartoon deco and G2 deco are all possible follow-ups, huh)

Back at work? On this, the day of my daughter's wedding*??? *my birthday

"I used to be Vengeance, but then they changed what Vengeance was. Now what I am isn't The Night, and what's The Night seems weird and scary to me. And it'll happen to YOU, too!"

Just a couple of little guuuuuuys 😭😭😭 (also it's only January 3rd and we're on the board already, jeez)

What could he want?

Happy new yeeeeeeear *rips through paper 2026 banner clutching a glass of cheap sparkling rosé and a handful of mixed nuts* Hope that for once you get the year you deserve, friends 🎉❤️🎉❤️🎉

I can't believe it is almost 2026, aka the Year of THEM They CAN deal with it now... as father and son

The layout of this edition of Le Morte d'Arthur is really nice with the marginalia commentary covering the linguistic quirks, legend origins/variants and historical context; I'm now thinking about the same format applied to, like... Greek myths 👀👀👀
