(After leaving skate rink)
Son: I only fell 6... no 7 times!
Me: You don't need to count every fall, buddy. What's important is that you got back up each time. So long as you get up and keep trying, it doesn't count.
Son: Oh, okay.
Son: Hey Dad, I didn't fall even once!

*covered in gremlin blood* yeah, you know, it was a tough first half, a lot of distractions but we got some good points on the board. i'm just focused on killing the wasp queen, you know, that's been my focus all season, really just hoping to get the chance to do that tonight
discovered some life-changing ttrpg tech during friday’s session: after taking a mid session break, before getting back into the scene, do a sports style locker room interview with each player (in character). it’s 1) funny 2) focusing 3) immediately and personally characterizing

when you tell your rice cooker that it can just use the four primary directional inputs instead of diagonals on the D-pad when doing Sabin's Blitzes and it makes Bum Rush way more consistent than trying to do a 360 every time

a 2nd Fangamer Japan shop just opened along with the brand new Kyoto GiGO arcade, and I drew new mural art! All the same characters as the Shibuya store, but with a Kyoto twist. This is my favourite city to visit in Japan so I'm honoured to have my art there!

Utterly unhinged for the first number in the English language to be "one." How are you supposed to explain that literally no other word in this language pronounces those three letters that way. There's no lesson to be learned here. This will not apply later.
And then the next number is "two."
And then the next number is "two."

I'm lv16. Never nerfed an item iirc, never DM'd for children, never had a big bad killed in 1 round, and never had a TPK.
1. PCs die. They usually get better.
3. I tend to use more goblins than kobolds, but they've popped up now and then.
4. I have a great idea for my next character...

Thought this might be fun for my D&D friends.

"We have a right to our flaws."
Column: With federal agents rioting in Democrat-run cities, there's only one answer for residents of Tucson: Blanket resistance against immigration operations. These agents are the tip of the spear of a federal campaign to punish cities and state that don't support Trump. tucson.com/news/local/s...
Tim Steller's column: Code red for Tucson, blue cities to resist federal assault
The immigration raids in blue cities around the country are part of a broader effort at repression against people who didn't vote for Trump.

He's nearly 20 years my senior, so I appreciate the distinction. #TodaysRuffalo

New tradition: delete your entire inbox first thing in the new year.
Sorry, old conversations dead. New conversations only.
If it was important, you should have emailed me about it 6-8 weeks ago so I'd have time to archive it properly.
Email threads in December are not real. They can't hurt you.

My dreams feature several distinct locations that I tend to return to each night.
First was familiar-feeling houses and neighborhoods, but it keeps expanding. Recently it's been big, elaborate shopping malls.

What was your biggest impact on the Internet?
I'm not sure if it's the part where I helped raise the bar for video game merch, or if it's the part where I refused to talk to Noelle in Snowdin.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:
Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.
Make. Friends.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

It was conceived as a kind of tower defense campaign where they set up traps to repel invaders, but they pretty much immediately turned it into an RPG about communication and diplomacy.
My players are cool. I love them.

Many eons ago, my husband ran a short D&D game where we all played as goblins trying to defend our cave from nearby humans that kept trying to wipe us out. Because we couldn’t communicate effectively, most of our attempts to negotiate peace were interpreted as aggression. It was really interesting!
We're doing this, gang.
