I’m from Whoville, and I say kill the Grinch!

I would argue that my liking the game-that-actually-exists-in-the-text is meaningfully different to the people who like an imaginary version of D&D that isn't supported by the text of the game. I would even argue that only liking the imaginary version of the D&D means you don't /really/ like D&D.

on the fourth day of christmas my true love gave to me, 🎶 CERVEZA CRISTAL 🎶

a new ttrpg kickstarter has hit your feed. it's the new cozy ghiblicore 5e hack made by the racism brothers and the promotional material is their devlog (podcast) where they complain about when enemy combatants are whole people with interior lives. 75 dollar embossed hardcover

The team behind Obojima not only don’t care about Ghibli outside of the aesthetic, they also fully do not understand it. They’re either complete buffoons or actively bad people and the truth likely lies in the middle. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrt9XWWk/

Seeing Hundreds of Beavers for the first time in a packed theater, seeing Free Fire as the only person in the theater, every showing of House I've been to, seeing The Lighthouse very drunk, then sober, then drunk again.

Trying to find a local gaming group to play some ttrpg with The results so far: Only plays 5e Only plays 5e Only plays 5e Only plays 5e Only plays 5e Only plays 5e Only plays 5e Only plays 5e Only plays 5e Only plays 5e Only plays 5e Only plays 5e

Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from,

I have written a new blog about what an OSR is. I am told there is a lot of discourse about this, but am confident that this should settle the matter once and for all. thegardenbelow.blot.im/what-is-an-osr

RIP March Masksness Twitter community, you would have loved Dispatch.

holy HECK I cannot wait to brag about the amazing artists we have joining us for Swords Without Master, folks, goodness GRACIOUS I am HYPED! UP! FOR! SWORDS! *cough* ...thus it behooves me to implore you to stay tuned here for all the news: www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw...

Went to a cool bar

Deathstalker (2025) was awful and I need everyone to go see it immediately

If you backed that Avatar game a while back, you need to back this. Possibly at the pay-it-back level.

Folks, I have a number to watch as it goes up!

We put out some @friends-table.bsky.social inspired beers this week. Look for them around Southern California

Love this vicious cycle of bad mental health makes it hard to keep a job, which is what provides the health care needed to address the mental health. Restarting the process every six months fucking rules dude

I am so happy I am not in a relationship with a person who wants to pay $15 a ticket to go see a Taylor Swift music video. A MUSIC VIDEO THAT WILL BE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE IN A FEW DAYS. I cannot even imagine.

The Divine, Arbitrage

Me and my friends would have killed Tilly Norwood with HAMMERS.EXE I can tell yout hat much

Genuine question, how the fuck are people finding the will to live anymore? Like hot damn I'm trying but the treadmill sure is speeding towards the pit.

Steve Holt

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

I think everyone who threw any amount of money at the fart in the wind that was Avatar Legends: The roleplaying game should be legally obligated to give Apocalypse World Burned Over a dollar.

This is unironically a lot worse than Jimmy Kimmel but you won't see 1/1000 of the outrage

Finally got around to seeing PTAs Licorice Pizza on the big screen (also my first time overall) and oh boy what a film. Delightful. Did the people complaining about it even watch the damn thing. If they did do they also think Scott Pilgrim is the good guy?

Can't fully explain it but I refuse to ship from a business that's name is NOUN +/AND/& NOUN. Almost guaranteed slop

My job lets us submit ideas for beer names. I can't believe this one got picked. As a huge FaTT fan I'm ecstatic, but also can't help but laugh at the idea of a beer named after a fictional rebellion.

been going to therapy and it's becoming increasingly clear that my brain isn't bad, but society is just so broken beyond repair I've lost all hope and when my therapist asks what I think could be done about that I have to stare at them and say that I have no examples that are both helpful and legal

This is funny but I'm almost certain that Shadowrun 4th ed has Mass Orgasm as a spell, no words minced.

Yeah BG3 is good but WOTR lets me use Mass Power Word: Cum, so who's to say which is the better CRPG

I think if you listen to a podcast with fake AI people saying AI generated words you are functionally dead, you are basically a phone to me at that point

A game store I wandered into had a hardback copy of "labyrinth of the azure Gorgon" and I just don't think that's a thing you should be trying to sell in the year of our Lord 2025.

Geddy Lee, his balls unslapped

The new Sabrina Carpenter album absolutely screams "I swear I know what it's like to be horny, please believe me"

We can submit beer names at work, I submitted a dozen or so venture brothers characters, not anticipating one would actually get picked. Well here we are

This is why I cut a stout blackthorn.

Sure as fuck isn't whatever they end up doing I can tell you that much.

CalazCon 113 - Legislature - Democracy Forever, PART TWO This is the final episode! The Hestiol subcommittee is in shambles as 4 out of 5 members leave for various reasons, but where will their paths take them in the years to come? Also a podcast youtu.be/gZR63r6l_xg?...

I need Baywatch Kai

I have a blog post brewing about Elden Ring, 250 yard hexes, and "MYTHIC" hex crawls. I guess I need a blog first to have a blog post

CalazCon 112 - Legislature - Democracy Forever, PART ONE It's the beginning of the end with the first episode of the Legislature's epilogue. Before that happens though, the wheels of Democracy continue to turn and the future is voted on. Also a podcast youtu.be/gNIpYA1YDh0?...

If you're wondering why I have this seared into my memory, it is because of this single Wired article pissed me off so much that I can't forget it. www.wired.com/story/studio...

The commodification, oversimplification, and objectification of "Japan-ness" is exemplified by Obojima published by 1985 Games. It is NOT Japanese. It is NOT Ghibli-esque. It is NOT authentic in any way. They use Japanese culture, history, and media as a costume to create an appropriated fantasy.

Autumn in Hieron

The only good websites were made because freaks felt compelled. Money makes the websites go nasty

Pluto Nash getting a reboot?

There is a story burning in the back of my mind thats just an Elric homage with a mall in late stage capitalism standing on for Imryr and Melniboné with Stormbringer replaced by chat GPT.
