Impossible to overstate how much Tolkien would hate Elon Musk and his industrial tech empire. Tolkien didn’t even like trains. Regular ass steam engine TRAINS.

@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social Just a theory, but taking into account Jef's insistence that the swamp vehicle in spliter of the mind's eye has open air bench seating, the southern accents, and the sadistic Imperial governor, this book may take place on Planet Florida....

@seanthomason.bsky.social @conorlastowka.bsky.social owka.bsky.social As a couple of San Diego Chicken experts, I immediately thought of you two when I saw this while watching some old rugby league games from Australia. Turns out ol' SD *wasn't* the original...

@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social "professional"? Ehhhhh....

@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social Apparently I pre-ordered one in March back when it first came available and then again a few weeks ago when you mentioned the reprint of the cocktail book was available for pre-order. 😄 Well, one to share with a friend, I guess!

@gurglespasm.bsky.social I'd like to recommend 1986's F/X for Movie Mastery www.imdb.com/title/tt0089... Starring Bryan Brown and Brian Dennehy! They share *slightly* less screen time than Pacino and De Niro in Heat. It's not the usual dreck most people submit. It's just... real 80s cheese.

@billcorbett.bsky.social Hey, I'm at the doctor's office and ya boy shitbox says "Hi!"

@rifftrax.com Oh hai, MARC!

@rifftrax.com Am I the only one who thinks Steve Irwin's son looks like a less beefy Reb Brown?

@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social *DJ horn sound effect*

@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social Just got Tales from The Floating Vagabond on dtrpg (soft cover & pdf) after listening to your wonderful review. Wasn't familiar with the game or the og review, so thank you for covering the 2nd ed. 🙂 Also made sure to use your affiliate link!

@gurglespasm.bsky.social Listened to the most recent after thought. Vhati il-Dal was my man back in the day too. I never really got him working because I was a poor bitch in high school. And generally sucked at deck building 😅 - tried to pair him with Tims. Blue+Black+Green in 1997? Was I insane?!

@rifftrax.com You know you've been a Rifftrax fan for too long when the hold music your auto loan company plays makes you think "This sounds like the backround music from a Coronet short"

@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social do your convention schedules take you to Philly? I'm here for a concert & saw a game shop (didn stop in, may try tomorrow) called Redcap's Corner. Looked them up & they do a monthly trans & autistic gaming meetup! redcapscorner.com/pages/events

@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social Listening the Outlaw Prophet episode. This is one of those special type of movies that's just enough "panic fever dream" that if i ever go back and re-listen, I'll have to double check the release date to make sure it's not an April Fool episode. 😅

@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social From years of listening to the podcast, I feel like I'm justifiably suspicious of this restaurant. 🚚

Human rights are not a *liability*. You cannot compromise or acquiesce one group’s rights and honestly think that the next group will be fine. We stand together or we’ll all fall alone. Facism always needs a “them”, so it’s just a matter of time before it’s you. Trans rights are human rights.

Jan 1st, I started doing daily writing prompts. I'm slowly adding that mess here (along with other things): brianwrites.me #writing

@gurglespasm.bsky.social I had to pause and rewind (do podcasts rewind?) the expounded universe this week because i was laughing so hard after you called Jax a twat. I don't think I've heard anyone use that since the early 2000s, but it fit perfectly 😂 Thank you for what you do. 🙂

I ship Giovanni and Alfredo in all my pasta slash fic so I'm happy to see they are finally making it canon

@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social just finished the FASA Star Trek ep. It reminded me of the Mechwarrior 3rd Edition ttrpg which also featured a life path system that replaced the easily breakable system from 2nd ed. (Small thread!)

@conorlastowka.bsky.social was in a supermarket earlier today and saw a woman with *two* plungers in her offhand while she browsed the deli's "take home meals" section "Man, she is going to *wreck* the bowl tonight" was my immediate thought. 15+ years of that joke in rifftrax...

Contraversal Statement: anyone that looks down on people that wear socks with sandals can go to hell. I don't want to see your crusty ass feet.

@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social one halmark of the podcast, to me, has been Jon's sigh. In my mind, it feels like the moment he gets most fed up with whatever property you are discussing, he'll release a heavy sigh which is what I assume is his soul attempting to escape torment.

@gurglespasm.bsky.social @systemmastery.bsky.social i'm gonna be in Vegas in a month, gimme the low down on that "cheapest buffet", I need to hurt myself. Thanks 🙂
