TIL that the makers of the original DOOM are extremely rad. Also this episode was way more emotionally moving than I expected it to be.

At this point I don't think you can claim nostalgia for the wizard kid franchise wrt to the new show. This is not a plea for you to not watch it. This is a plea not to let your kids, baby siblings, niblings, and other young people in your life develop that bond with the franchise via this new show.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

The newest episode of Strong Songs is about “Under Pressure” by Queen and David Bowie — a one-night collaboration in Montreaux that resulted in an unusual, occasionally awkward, and ultimately triumphant song. I’m really happy with this episode and I hope you enjoy it! 🎶

Today I learned Brandon Keener, voice of Garrus Vakarian, was the dad of the little girl in this season of The Pitt.

so @farhorizonscoop.bsky.social has nearly everything it's ever released in this bundle. cheating a little because we have collections of small games in there, but i think that's easily in excess of 100 games just from us. i reckon you'll find something you like in there.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

This post did numbers on Flipflop and Blah blah Poo Poo so I figure I'll try it here too. *Eats PB&J*

Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

Slightly diminish a game. Dragon's Guidance

Fuck. Goddamn the USA.

Double-tap 2025. Better yet, nuke 2025 from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

When do we start calling them internment and concentration camps? At what point do we stop pretending that this is anything other than gross human rights violations the likes of which should be opposed by any means necessary?

There's a term for this, "latchkey child" which describes a phenomena of the 80s and 90s where two-parent households had both parents in the workforce and single-parent families had no choice but to leave their kids unattended.

International Men's Day? My dudes, remember it is okay to not have it all figured out. Nobody does. The people trying to convince you they have the answers are selling you something. Don't get duped.

We lost a real champion and voice of disability justice.

You know what I miss? I miss guesting on podcasts. Games, movies, television, politics, music, or theology; I just miss being a part of conversations in that format.

People really watch 30 minutes of Undercover Boss, see how astoundingly incompetent most of them are, and still think they deserve the salaries they have because they did a nice thing for one or two employees in the final 10 minutes following.

All these games are bonkers and I highly recommend all of them.

The older I get and the more time I spend with my dog, the more I become convinced that at least half the people who have kids don't actually want kids; they want a dog. Dogs love you unconditionally and don't talk back. They have personality, but don't develop selfhood. Kids are their own people.

New Mexico just quietly unveils a thing that so many pearl-clutchers said couldn't be done.

I finally got around to playing Mouthwashing and uh... I found the ship environment appropriately claustrophobic, the food rehydration system markedly distressing, and the jump scares mercifully few compared to the deeper level of capitalist, body, and psychological horror.

Maddy Myers on Triple Click gave a shout to Enemy Feminisms: TERFs, Policewomen, and Girlbosses Against Liberation by Sophie Lewis and it has been an incredibly cathartic read to have so many loose threads tied together and presented in this form.

Introduce yourself with the last five concerts you attended. The Coup Dorian Electra Seabird Icon for Hire ... Petra??? I haven't been to a concert in a decade or so as evidenced by the type of music I went to concerts for.

Metal Gear fans, I'm playing MSG3 for the first time and it's like... 10-minutes of gameplay followed by a 20-minute cutscene so far... Is that how the whole game is? This is absolutely wild.

An update from us here at PBS 💙

You ever watch a movie that makes the food seem threatening and the kitchen a place of horrors? This isn't even a horror film! Ugh, this film stuck in my brain uncomfortably.

First played: An in development d20 game which I don't know if it had a name and never got published First ran: D&D 5e Played most: Pathfinder 1e Run most: Scum & Villainy Favorite today: Ironsworn, maybe? Most recently played: You have ONE job Most recently run: Fuck You! I'm a Goblin

Regarding WPATH and its guidance on transition protocols, "This is for your safety and wellbeing."

The “Last, Best, & Final Offer” still didn’t contain the AI protections that worried many members the most. But instead of accepting what is LEGALLY considered “the actual final offer”, the committee chose to push back anyway & demand those protections be added. It’s because of that, we have them.

This is heartbreaking since Libby is a lifeline for me to access audiobooks.
