There is no Sizzler restaurant location in Albuquerque. I REPEAT. THERE IS NO SIZZLER. IN ALBUQUERQUE. If that was a lie, what else? How much of Weird Al’s classic “Albuquerque” was falsified? How much of his catalog??? IF NOT AL, THEN WHO? HOW WILL I TRUST AGAIN???

WWE: Jericho is coming back to WWE! Suck it, AEW! Haha, nyah, how’s it feel? Wah, cry about it!😝 AEW fans: Nah, you can have him. WWE: Haha… wait, what? But like… we’re stealing him. Back. AEW: Yeah, and we’ve been chanting “please retire” at him for over a year. He’s all yours.

Forgot to mention tha it’s garnished with an octopus tentacle and some kind of fleshy star-shaped thing. I’d probably use a star fruit and maybe a short clip of licorice instead.

I’m reading Marvel’s “G.O.D.S.” by Jonathan Hickman, and someone orders an “Age Of Enlightenment” at the bar at the Library of Worlds. 1 part Calvados 1 part Absinthe A pinch of salt A “healthy dash” of bitters I’m gonna interpret “healthy dash” as 2-3, and I wanna try it real bad.

UP NEXT ON GAME MASTER MONDAY We play GOOD SOUP by @goosepoopgames.com Funny little woodland creatures go on an adventure to obtain the perfect ingredients for their perfect soup! Coming later in the day TOMORROW wherever you enjoy podcasts!

I mean, don’t get me wrong; we are all vast, we all contain multitudes. It’s entirely possible that these novels were a lifeline for him while deployed; I’ve heard of stranger things. But from what I’ve heard of this guy’s politics, him being a Muir fan would be shocking to me.

I wonder if TNA’s Steve Maclin is aware that the facepaint hes been sporting lately is less “tough Call Of Duty military guy” and more “lesbian space necromancer” I mean, I’ve heard good things about Gt9, but it doesn’t strike me as th thing that Mr. Marine Corps over here would be a fan of.

A commercial airline plane is a pressurized tube filled with meat. An airplane is a hot dog.

One thing I will never get over is how much more spread out cities that aren’t Boston are. It’s like everyone else went “look how much space we have! Let’s use it!” Meanwhile, Boston was like “we are gonna cram *AS MUCH AS CIVICALLY POSSIBLE* into this 4-mile patch of swamp.”

Just for fun, I'm going to be hosting a legally distinct game show about correcting people on Twitch, TTRPG Edition! Come join us this Sunday @ 1pm CST! Featuring @radiofreewill.bsky.social, @lambertraa.bsky.social, @noxaeternus.bsky.social and Ron Leota! twitch.tv/mattstormcrow

“Why are so many kids diagnosed with mental health issues today?” I dunno, but I think it might be because millennials suffering those same illnesses had Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” sung at them like it was a cure for depression, and that fucked us up harder than a diagnosis would’ve.

There’s a list of body parts I would give up in order to organize a weekly game meeting on my lunch break. Like time it so that we all use our lunch hour to play a turbo session of a TTRPG in the middle of the day.

“I don’t care what anyone says, I like that movie.”

D&D has obviously flooded the market, but there’s one game that continues to be more popular than it, and it really boggles my mind. “Bosses & Boardrooms” is just ass. Like sure, you get paid to play, but you have to play for eight hours a day, there’s no character options, and the stories *suck*.

I wonder how Patton Oswalt feels about this bit 20 years later, after the rise of the “corporate slop bowl” dynamic of places like Greco, Chipotle, PokeWorks*, and their ilk. *specifically mainland, chain poké places. Yet another thing that white people stole from Hawaii and ruined

Holiday hot take: gift-giving is a privilege.

And I get that the average Creation denizen might be standoffish around someone from outside of that land after the Baloran Crusade, but come on, Creation has plenty of space for everyone. The Great Contagion made sure of that.

TTRPG hot take, aimed directly at my favorite game: It’s kinda fucked up that so much of the writing in Exalted paints Autocthonians as violent “Locusts” when they are fleeing their homeworld due to a natural disaster. They’re not invaders, they’re refugees, and the Alchemicals only want to help.

It’s just cold cuts and olives. These are all good things. But without tomatoes, onions, and pickles (lettuce) to cut all that richness, it’s just a one-note sandwich. I love NOLA cuisine. Gumbo, jambalaya, dirty rice, beignets, boudin. But I’ll take an Italian sub no hots over a muffuletta any day

Okay, I’m going to share a culinary hot take. Muffulettas are overrated. I’m sure there will be folks that say “oh you didn’t have one in NOLA? Then you didn’t really have one.” Yes, the muffuletta I had was in Philly. But I’m gonna be honest; it’s an Italian sub without veggies or oil.

Just a reminder that if you are old enough to have watched Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, then you don’t have a leg to stand on complaining about kids saying “six-seven.” We lost our shit whenever anyone said the word of the day, they’re just doing the same thing.

So I picked Our Brilliant Ruin up at PAX Unplugged. I spent most of my bus ride home from the con reading it. Y’all… I might’ve found my new TTRPG obsession. The setting of this game slaps *so. Goddamn. Hard.* Plus, the mechanics seems pretty straightforward. I can’t wait to get this to a table.

This morning I made a TikTok set to “One Day More” from Les Mis, and it’s got me thinking about the show. Enjolras would have been a dream role of mine two decades ago. I don’t have the tenor voice for Valjean, and I’m not sure if want Javert. Fortunately, there’s always Monsieur Thenardier.

People love to talk about how awful theater kids are, and they’re not wrong, but let’s be real, debate kids have made this country a lot worse

I 1000% expect someone to be playtesting a new game at PAXU called “Blowing Bubbas”

Also, to be fair, I never actually saw El Camino, I just know it’s the continuation of Jesse Pinkman’s story, so that makes it part of the trilogy.

Which would be especially weird given that Vince Gillian is making it, and his next most famous works were a trilogy about the evils of capitalism, via the lens of the American health care system, the drug trade, and corporations (Breaking Bad, El Camino, and Better Call Saul, respectively)

Watched E1 of Plur1bus, and I’m wondering if others feel like this show reads as MAGA-coded. Sure, our protag is queer, but the notion of a hivemind out to steal your individual freedom is a very right-wing fear; or at the very least, it’s a very centrist “both extremes are bad” kind of message.

Look, I get it. 1987 was a time of comic excess and commercialism, while 2025 is more about viral reality programming and victim complexes. But a Running Man film without characters like Subzero, Dynamo, Buzzsaw, et al., is no Running Man film at all. Code of the gladiators.

Hey, anyone know where Cheney’s being buried? I gotta pee real bad.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

I had never seen Hocus Pocus until last night, despite its status as “*THE*” Halloween movie of my generation and it being filmed one town away from where I grew up. The Sanderson Sisters are a fascinating feminization of the classic Three Stooges comedy dynamic. In this video essay, I will attemp

TECH WEEK BABY NO SLEEP TIL ::guitar riff:: MAAAAAARS If you’re near Boston I better see you there. Or else*. pmrp.org/events/invas...

Everybody be safe kNOcKING on doors today.

I’m gonna dress up as AI for Halloween this year. Wear gloves with only 4 fingers, print some gibberish onto a tee, have a fake hand resting on my shoulder, sew an extra leg pointing behind me onto my pants. What else would I need for an AI costume?

These aren’t even dog whistles anymore. This is WILD. And you can’t say she didn’t know. Her ENTIRE thing is hidden messages and references. 8 lightning bolts and an 8 pointed star is wild. This is full mask off.

Truffles don’t actually taste good, and you can’t convince me otherwise. They are only adored because of their rarity. I’ve tried caviar, and it’s tasty, but overrated. I’ve tried Foie gras, and it’s accurately rated. Truffles taste like asparagus farts, and have no place in human food.

Giga-Karen has landed. Can you save Earth from ultimate entitlement? The PDP welcomes @radiofreewill.bsky.social to the GM seat for our next charity game! @neonsaline.com @itslouisw.bsky.social @dannyrmendoza.bsky.social @conkliodd.bsky.social

So evidently Ned Fulmer was in the ring at a recent AEW show. What does it say about the world that one of the only sizable wrestling promotions that isn’t platforming problematic Internet personalities was founded by the Insane Clown Posse?

And this, wrestling fans, is why Mick Foley is the GOAT. He may not have been as big as Cena or Dwayne, as intimidating as Austin or Taker, or as focused as Hart or Flair, but you never, *EVER* doubted that his hart was in the right place. Also nice to see Ricochet agreeing. I was worried about him

Dear Zo, Greco, Saloniki, Eat Greek, and other trendy corporate-chic Greek fast food places. You are not real Greek food. Real Greek food is met with a “Yassou!” when I enter, and probably a muttered “Malaka…” from the guy at the spit when he gets my order. Get it right.

From a moral standpoint, The Toxic Avenger is the movie of the year...

Diehard and Chapel wouldn’t necessarily fit the milieu, but I could definitely see Shaft, Bedrock/Badrock, Vogue, and a bunch more fitting into a superhero team for the YouTube generation. And no, I don’t care if this post ours me as a childhood fan of Rob Liefeld.

Hot take: no comic book series is begging harder for a reboot in today’s social media/influencer landscape than Youngblood. Seriously, one of them was even named Vogue.

Boomer mid-life crisis: “I’m gonna buy a luxury sports car and date someone half my age!” Gen X mid-life crisis: “I’m gonna quit my job and open a bakery/bookstore/similarly cozy shop!” Millennial mid-life crisis: “I’m gonna buy a book! …actually, never mind, I still have to pay rent.”

Promises #MTG

I'm watching the animated Watchmen movie from 2024. The world this story takes place in is basically how MAGA thinks the real world really is, and they've cast themselves alternatively as Rorschach and The Comedian; brutal savior, or patriotic victim.
