The penultimate movie in this year’s Vampire-a-thon is Priest.

My stance on game pricing is that we need to tax the rich

Sincere congrats to Admiral Kirk and the crew of the stolen Bird of Prey etc

Black Phone 2 was a 9/10 horror movie with 3/10 dialogue. A solid 6. 6.5? I really wanted to like the movie more than I did because the things it did well, it did phenomenally well. Unfortunately, things it did poorly were absolute cringe. I will gladly watch Black Phone 3 though.

I've seen a lot of concern about staying within the "rules" of each bracket; and would like to reiterate that these are not rules. They are the average expectations of players in that kind of game. If your deck doesn't meet those expectations, you can ALWAYS mention it to adjust those expectations.

It's great that AI is giving scammers a way to spray us all with oceans of zero effort dogshit. If the modern world previously had one problem, it was that there wasn't enough zero effort dogshit around.

The worst part of every vacation is going back to work.

This week we’re switching gears to Near Dark. Another pinnacle of 80s vampire cinema.

A new Diablo Podcast is ready. This week MacroBioBoi joins the discussion, which looks at Season 10 and what the expansion got right. Go listen or watch! www.purediablo.com/the-diablo-p... #diablo4 #diabloIV #diablo #diablopartner

Today I celebrate three great years of being married to the greatest woman in my life. Here’s to many more!

Blizzard Entertainment Platform and Technology workers unionize under CWA

There was a HUGE swath of bots scraping AO3 earlier this summer, where a lot of authors had to lock down their accounts to require login (among other changes). Many of mine included. This is suspiciously timely and I can’t help but wonder if related.

Ernest Hemingway was really on to something because this Papa’s Pilar Rum is damn good. Yes, I’ve been day drinking. Yes, I’m buzzed. Yes, I’m in the Keys.

This week’s vampire-a-thon movie is… So the original intent of this thing is to explore the full history of vampire movies. Cultural firsts, significant mile stones, true pieces of cinema. And I’d watch these movies based on their cultural impact, not just my personal favorites.

Those are some truly cursed pizza combinations.

I thought this was funny and wanted to share it with you.

Tron Ares was ok, I obviously had low expectations going in. The prior Tron movies had both been pure vibes and little substance, but this movie really just didn’t make a lot of sense. It also skips over Tron Legacy’s existence and tries banking on nostalgia for the original which is a choice.

The Smashing Machine was actually pretty good. I wish the Rock would take more serious roles as he’s a good actor when not just playing himself.

Everything single thought I’ve had about this movie (except for the soundtrack) has just been repeating: “Disney, what the fuck are you doing?”

TOKEN ZOMBIE 2/2 My first Token is finally UP ! More info in comment !

sheet music nerds, I need your help, back in the late 80s early 90s there was a song called Starship something, can't remember the second part of the name I wanna run this song down because there's a part for french horn that is one note, every beat for the whole song, I believe its F.

Tonight’s Vampire-a-thon will be a jump back into comedy with Vampire’s Kiss. Oh, man does this scream the 80s.

Something special for you all today. We pinned down former Diablo 4 lead Adam Jackson, who tells us about his work on the game and what it's like to work in the dev team. You can watch or read the interview. Don't miss this. www.purediablo.com/interview-di... #diablo4 #diabloIV #diablo

A new memento from my good friend @dayntee.bsky.social

It’s October 1st. Spooky season is here! 🎃 If only all the stores didn’t already start replacing their Halloween stuff with Christmas decor…

Finally have the ability to watch Andor without a panic attack, and just finished S2E9. So was finally able to watch this video Brian made. It touches on Storytelling techniques we strive for, but also a good look at how we both look at things when it come to story. youtu.be/kwbHHTnL6n8?...

This week’s Vampire-a-thon is Let the Right One In. An eerie, uncomfortable tale that explores the other predatory aspects of vampires.

I am 100% super excited for the new announced Star Trek magic set. This is kind of nerd hobby crossover I’m a sucker for.

“It’s going to be minions again” First unique: Ring of Mendeln Thanks @xanth.bsky.social

Remember to set out a goblet of blood for Bartuc tonight 🩸

New week, new vampire movie! This week we’re watching the 1936 Dracula’s Daughter.

The greatest game never made.

Dutch late night TV has its take

Ghost Planet

It was so much more worse than I remembered it, and I have it on Blu-ray lol. They just don’t make terrible movies like this anymore and the decline of society reflects that.

Week three bring us to Ultraviolet. This movie is so bad, I love it. They try so hard to not say vampire.

Samus being a biker chick is just such a natural progression for her. Such a badass.

It's time for a new Diablo Podcast. This week it's Season 10 chat, and we try and figure out which is the best Diablo item ever. Easy right? www.purediablo.com/season-10-ch... #diablo #diablo2 #diablo4 #diabloIV @diablo.blizzard.com
