Some rando replied to a comment I made earlier today with an unprovoked bit of rudeness and I blocked them.

I got a giddy rush of endorphins from it like "I have the power here to make you vanish from my sight like a puff of smoke."

It's so nice to just not have to put up with jerks.

Good news of the day: I picked up You Weren't Meant to Be Human from my local bookstore. Excited but also a little spooked!

From the beginning to the end at no point did I have any idea what would happen next. A singular film experience IMHO.

I can't believe none of you told me about Biblical Kaiju Frog.

Fun bible fact of the day: in the original Hebrew, it's not frogs plural, but just one giant frog that comes and plops itself down and covers the entire land by itself. Beeg frog boi

HZD: Call of the Mountain made me want to hurl even with all the settings adjusted. It made me really sad because for the short time I got to play it was fun!

I am violently opposed. Splitting the party usually means someone is sitting around with their thumb up their ass for a prolonged time. Not my idea of a good experience at the table.

I'm imagining a Lgeacy style game where instead of adding stickers to the game board you're peeling things off with increasing horror.

Good news of the day: after almost a decade without, I finally had AC installed. What are the odds we'll get a few more hot days before fall truly sets in? 🤔

Really REALLY starting to understand the tech landscape today as the age of "loss of consent". My settings don't stay set. Features are forced on me either forced upgrades or by inclusion with a critical security patch. I increasingly have ZERO CHOICE in my interactions with computers.

As someone who is known to give an emphatic "giiiiiirl-" I am stealing "Tha'am" for this purpose

Maybe Mi'ix or Ma'ax (for Mx.)

Or a nice drawled "Tha'am"

Every tech announcement now is these shiny looking lads saying: "people LOVE to be uncertain about what is real, that's why we've created our new bullshit engine, to add to the preciptous sense of reality collapse in all things. $99/seat."

I think there's a nonzero chance, and also a slight chance that they drop camo entirely for solid OD green/tan/black because camouflage is for pussies, or something
