It's a beautiful cocktail of nostalgia and survivorship bias - there were films/TV with amazing cinematography and lots and lots and lots of crap

This is what happens when you pull the FBI away from its original mission, tracking bigfoot, UFOs, mothmen, you get this amateur hour bullshit, and leave the US vulnerable to snallyghasters and Jersey devils!

New #TTRPG #Castingcall In Mask and Receive, players will become superheroes in a retro futuristic alternative 1947 using Fate Core by @evilhat.bsky.social With the world's leading superhero team lost in a recent crisis, a surviving hero recruits and attempts to reform villains to fill the void

I would like the child sacrificed to stop, either by we stop doing them, or we acquire an orb with some kind of enchantment, I don't want to be too prescriptive about it, but an orb or other artifact with magical properties that causes them to stop.

writing is such a sophisticated and varied art form that i hesitate to prescribe any immutable rules of writing, except for this one: no matter what you're writing, be it fiction, personal narrative, an academic paper, or a patent application, you should begin every paragraph with "Erm ..."

Something of an honor to share a rating with the first game in one of the most important CRPG series of all time. (also the original Unreal Tournament!)

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours without prep: 1. @momentofbalance.bardrockcafe.com, the Avatar Legends actual play I'm on 2. Video games 3. Photography

very amused that to some folks this meme is my greatest contribution to game design

I've been doing some writing for this and I'm super excited about it - y'all should definitely play it when it comes out!

I kinda missed doing these 2016-Facebook-style like/fact things so let's fucking go

i like to say that, as the reader, you have the ultimate safe word: you can put the book down

it's chewsday innit

Cocaine? I don't have the kind of money for that - I just play TTRPG shit so emotionally intense that it keeps me up until 5 am that night thinking about what happened

me telling my grandkids what it was like to have vaccines

Look, I just think Frankie and Andi from Knights of Guinevere have absolutely hooked up multiple times and should continue to do so - this is a very lukewarm, baseline level take of mine

How is it about to be Rosh Hashana *already*?!

Shanah Tovah, New York City. Here's to a sweet and hopeful New Year.

The way people endlessly wring their hands over 'butch characters are just cishet men with the pronouns swapped out', 'ew straps are heteronormative' etc makes me realize that a lot of people view womanhood as a fragile bubble easily punctured by masculinity.

I don't want to give them any more credibility because clearly whomever was assigned to read this can't read a monograph. I'm gonna complain for a mo

Finally saw Weapons today God damn that sure was a fuckin movie huh?

Audio dramas of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Death of Superman, and some Batman story with Two Face in it. He didn't listen to a lot of music in the car, but he loved to listen to audio dramas on long trips. They were all really good - the Death of Superman one scared the shit outta me

Knights of Guinevere pilot was really good - I'm fascinated by the world they're creating here and really looking forward to seeing more of it!

I had really hoped this wouldn't be the case, but some bad news (not what you think, Twitter trolls) made me need to make this official. The subathon, in addition to just keeping a roof over my head, is also to raise funds for an eventual immigration to Canada, Vancouver specifically. 🧵

Silksong is, like Hollow Knight before it, a game I find entertaining but too marred by frustrating bits to be a favorite - I love it and will never play it again after beating it - it's great and if it weren't for its aesthetics and tight controls I would've dropped it 15 hours ago

Hollow Knight fans 🤝 Dark Souls fans "Oh don't worry [very frustrating thing] gets better around hour 100" Their barbaric "Mount Fay is fun" versus our civilized "Fighting Sister Friede solo is awesome"

Hanako: Private tutors. She had no choice but to excel and hated every minute of it. Sabi: State-sponsored orphanage school. She did okay and hated every minute of it. Chong: Taught by his parents and then received additional school in the Air Nation. The Air Nation was a hard adjustment for him.

What 1000xRESIST is not: ❌ a game with combat ❌ an emotionally cozy game ❌ a super quick story What 1000xRESIST is: ✅ a doomed yuri simulator ✅ a game that will break your heart (and maybe not put it back together) ✅ a story you won’t forget anytime soon Get it for 30% off right now! ⬇️

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Allegations of traumadumping in the indie TTRPG space are always fun because at least half the time, the game about being forced to kill each other with hammers is genuinely just a diverting thought experiment, while the author's ACTUAL traumadump game is the one with, like, fluffy bunnies and shit.

Inspirational Meme: You're somebody's fetish! My ace ass: tell them i'm not home

*inventing clam chowder* Hey guys, you know those slugs that live in the rocks on the beach? We should put those in some kind of hot milk soup

I'm two degrees of separation from Ken Jennings (my mom lost to him on Jeopardy about 20 years ago) and tbh it's nice to see that he's standing up for what's right

I can't believe I Inceptioned myself into thinking KPop Demon Hunters was gay because my only exposure to it is Huntrix yuri

As much as I love doing TTRPG stuff and would love to do it every day - the latest recording season of @momentofbalance.bardrockcafe.com has been a little intense... to the point where I think that would be emotionally impossible-

I’m Not a Robot, a game about solving CAPTCHAs, is out now! good luck :) > neal.fun/not-a-robot/

The Wanderer's Crest in Silksong makes the game like 300% more playable and enjoyable to me. I like the quick attack, short range style a lot, and having a downward slash to pogo off stuff is a godsend because FUCK that diagonal slash straight to hell!

The absolutely incredible @spilledte.com has created new emotes for our Discord server once again!! We’re so grateful for the artists in our community. 💖 Just look at them!! (The last one isn’t new, but we just can’t help sharing her because she’s our favorite.) 😊

Alien Earth is good so far - I feel like it fits into the Alien Romulus and Covenant take on the universe more than the older movies. Requires a level of investment into the corporate dealings of the world, and honestly doesn't feel like an Alien thing so much as a thing set in the Alien world-

Okay, I will say - I think it's impressive that they're going to make the Virtual Boy flop a second time. That's dedication to the bit.
