Rolled into 2026 on the tail end of an illness, so I'll get started on making this My Year™ tomorrow.

Well, he *did* say it's an AU

As someone who paid zero attention to football until the last couple of years when I made friends who host watch parties, I'm always surprised at how much of this sport is just minutiae and rules-lawyering.

The winner this Christmas is definitely this @thejedhenry.bsky.social print I got.

Thank you for reminding me this has been sitting unplayed in my library for like two years

Lowe's employee of the month over here.

"Ancient bones filled with the larvae of swarming, stinging insects" is some eldritch horror shit.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Hey. Yeah, you! Want to give me a gift, in the spirit of the season? NICE! All I want is for you to watch THIS video and share it around with… whoever might need to hear it 👀 Thanks, friends! 💛🥰

I'm not even sure what, exactly, this person is upset about. People who like acting getting into role-playing games? I can personally guarantee that's not new.

TIL the original lyrics to Deck the Halls are awesome and “don we now our gay apparel” is temperance movement bullshit

Just saw @theroddenberries.bsky.social. Amazing show, hilarious covers, sexy nerds. 0/10 didn't get to drunkenly belt Faith of the Heart with you.

Of course. They never gave a shit about him, they just wanted their Reichstag Fire. When that didn't pan out, they lost interest.

I recently started watching If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device, but I sometimes wonder why we need 40k parodies when the actual lore is this silly.

(I worked in health insurance for six years. It was the most shameful period of my life, and the entire industry needs to burn.)

Okay, yes, "patients as consumers" is fucking gross and health care should not be a fucking commodity. BUT, I do think forcing providers to display their could backfire on the insurance companies in truly spectacular fashion. It would take away the dance of price-gouging that they rely on.

Headlines you'd see on a scrap of newspaper blowing through post-apocalyptic streets

Sure, it seems like fun and games until a speedrunner chain bounces off your head 23 times to sequence-break their way into Best Buy before it opens.

Okay, here's the thing: fully remote-controlled humanoid robots are FUCKING COOL. Why are these dumbass techbros trying to pretend it's something it's not?

Checking out Star Realms: Rise of Empire from Wise Wizard Games. We haven't started yet, but Rufus already gives it a 10/10.

More of this nationwide please!

Print out vaccine schedules NOW and save physical copies. Make copies for those in your community. Do NOT let them erase real science

Octopath Traveler 0 is actually the third numbered Octopath Traveler game, and therefore completes the OT OT.

I'm sorry WHAT.

A local Iowa resident accidently set a new world record in the marathon after queuing up the soundtrack to Octopath Traveler 2. paletteswap.site/dif...

When you see this, post an image from your gallery to describe your mental state.

The enemy is at the same time too prodigal and too thrifty.

Hello friends!! Hello friends! I'm looking to commission artists to help me create promotional art to share Re;MATCH with their audience to let them know the game exists!!! Please dm me if you are interested!

Thanksgiving is Loaf's favorite holiday.

my most cancelable video game hot take is that i think "ludonarrative dissonance" is a useful term

Today, my friends, remember:

WELCOME TO THE DAY OF MANY CALORIES YOU SHALL CONSUME YOU SHALL INGEST YOU SHALL HEAVE YOUR SWOLLEN BODY ONTO THE COUCH MOANING AS YOU DO SO BUT WAIT THERE'S STILL PIE

Why would you do this to me the week after PAX?

Anti-mass spectrometer? What does it do, un-measure ions so you forget what the substance is made of?

Well, it finally happened. I finished my lunch before YouTube got through all its ads, and didn't end up actually watching the video.

With another PAX Unplugged done, we’ve updated our yearly guide to con crash with some more information, and some new resources from the lovely @guardiansmh.bsky.social nonprofit. We hope it helps con goers as we all catch up on sleep! www.spritesanddice.com/features/aft...

You can take these from my cold, dead hands (because I died of a heart attack)

Good news: I'm posting this from my new phone! Bad news: I've been in this Verizon store for two hours and counting.

Lmaoooooooo cool my phone is bricked, great timing there my guy, couldn't have waited until PAX was over?

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe. Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

Something that makes cishet white men feel uncomfy, I guess

See you tomorrow! #PAXUnplugged

Wow, I am shocked. Dumbfounded. Utterly flabbergasted.

Wow, kinda sounds like healthcare shouldn't be insurance-based at all, huh?

What do you call the opposite of a movie buff? Asking for me, who just saw High Anxiety for the first time, and couldn't fully appreciate it because I didn't get most of the Hitchcock references.

Why is Loaf giving me side eye? Wrong answers only

Our yearly guide for PAX Unplugged is here! It's meant to help those who haven't been to this particular convention before, but there are hopefully some ideas for everyone. Check it out, and feel free to comment with your own best tips! #PAXUnplugged www.spritesanddice.com/features/gui...
