Because the worldbuilding is usually top-notch but the system is usually awful. There. Saved you a read.

Barry Manilow: Hey, let me sing a song to a peppy, upbeat Latin tempo about a showgirl named Lola Me: Great, I'm in the mood for something fun and uplifting (four minutes later) Me: HER BOYFRIEND DIED IN A BARROOM BRAWL AND SHE WENT INSANE WITH GRIEF WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME BARRY

Just on the border of your waking mind, there lies another time, where darkness and light are one. And as you tread the halls of sanity, you feel so glad to be unable to go beyond. I HAVE A MESSAGE FROM ANOTHER TIME.

By the way, I'm not a fan of every RPG review being on YouTube. I much prefer long-form, detailed, non-AI-generated, written reviews. So I'm becoming the change I want to see in the world. ccxp.info/ramblings #rpg #rpgreview #ttrpg #swordworld #landofeem #fellowshiprpg #nobinobirpg #pocketodyssey

Just posted a review of Land of Eem, a tabletop RPG that blends quirky humor with heartfelt storytelling. Imagine if Tolkien and Jim Henson co-wrote a campaign equal parts silly and sincere. Full review here: ccxp.info/game-review-land-of-eem #TTRPG #LandOfEem #GameReview #IndieRPG #TabletopVibes

I don't need Viagra yet, knock wood.

I know your secret.

Remember, every time God closes a door, He flushes a toilet.

Charlie Kirk was a vicious, racist trust fund baby who made the world a worse place. I am the CEO of Antifa Inc. and I approve of this message.

People are like, "Even if the worst happens, it won't last forever, and things may get even better eventually." Which is great, but I'd prefer not to have to go through the bad stuff at all. Let's just jump straight to that good future, if you please.

I met a man who had no feet. But I already had shoes, so the aphorism totally broke down. We ended up just playing Xbox.

It's difficult for me to choose which companies to support based on their owners' political views, mostly because every CEO I've ever met was an unredeemable shitbarge.

According to tvguide.com, Jimmy Kimmel will have Chelsea Handler and Bill Nye on tonight. Special musical guest Swell Season, too. Sounds like a good show, looking forward to it.

The news: Jimmy Kimmel cancelled over political comments. The Smothers Brothers: Ah. First time?

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I don't like washing the dog. I mean, the washing part's okay, but she just makes so much noise in the dryer.

For this man's memory, we are about to go to war with ourselves.

Half the headlines recently are like: Charlie Kirk shooting "the greatest tragedy to ever happen and that will ever happen in the timeline of America," says Scott Baio

It's a shame that poor innocent kid got all liberal indoctrinated at *checks notes* Dixie Technical College in Utah.

These are the forces! This is the power that drives the hand that drinks "Treadmill", the mighty lager, with the world's first great taste of fish!

Yes, but have you considered that maybe Charlie Kirk was a dumbshit?

Today is the 40th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Bros in Japan. Let us have a moment of silence for all the tens of millions of hours wasted trying to find the right path through level 7-4.

I'd just like to break in here and say that I killed Calamity Ganon for the first time ever last night. Ahem. You're welcome, Hyrule.

Remember the Snorks.

The influencer guy who stole bloody merch from Kirk's booth is gonna end up selling the next Blutfahne on eBay

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.

According to Clearsky, four people have blocked me, all on days when I posted the most innocuous jokes possible. Not even dad jokes or puns, which would be fair. These were, like, Garfield level. Guess I gotta up my edge.

"But they might eventually repent!" is the most mealy-mouthed sentiment possible, especially when they've only gotten worse in a devolving environment that they are actively creating.

Fun fact: You don't have to be gay -- not even a little bit! -- to care about how gay, bi, and trans people are treated. I know! Revelatory!

It always amuses me when I see that one picture with the two adventurers and the tabbit in a grassy field and the English "Sword World 2.5" logo in the corner, 'cause that's something I 'shopped together for my review. It's kinda like seeing someone you know in a commercial. "Oh hey! I know that!"

Look, we already know he's a shit. More evidence will not make him less of a shit. We gotta figure out how to *neutralize* his shit before he drowns us all in it.

I'm all cattle and no hat. Because the cows ate it. So many cows.

My site where I post reviews of Sword World, Nobi Nobi etc. is not monetized. No ads, no downloads, no side gigs. Self-hosted from the beginning I've made negative money off it. This may make me the only person left who's still using the internet for fun.

The U.S. has entered the "poorly balanced washing machine load" era of how every empire in history has ever ended.

It's getting worse!

In case anyone works for a GOP office that wants to graffiti its walls or windows and make it look like the opposition did it: The circle with the "A" inside it is the symbol for anarchy, NOT Antifa.
