Need something to pass the time. Can anyone recommend a podcast (preferably annual) where people have entered into a pact that will last til the end of linear time to watch the same bad movie every year?

Pssst, hey! Yes you. The one suffering through an awful holiday just because: "well, they're my family, what else am I going to do, etc."

You can just not go. You can walk away. You don't have to endure people who don't respect you. You can find your people and build your own family and future.

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

This sucks. I'm devastated. After a decade we have been dethroned.

I guess we have to fall back on being America's most walkable city like LOSERS 😭

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

A thing that bugs me is how often comments like this circulate about men of color.

With these comments (preserved at the end of Ify's thread) it's just going "hey there is a familiar narritve of bad behavior from men and maybe it applies here."

What is making you bring that up?
I think I can understand this line of thinking to get here but you’d have to do a couple of things to get here:

-Underestimate a seasoned comic’s read of body language.

-Take away the agency from a literal dominatrix.

-Think that the team that makes the shows would miss the uncomfortable cues.

The thing that is both exciting and frustrating about CCK is that the magic ingredient that makes this game incredible is your ideas.

I can summarize what it is and how it works, but if you actually roll up a character or make an antagonist you will actually see just how special the game is.
Doing some character creation on a draft copy Cosmic Century Knights by @oneshotrpg.bsky.social and @worldstoforge.bsky.social. I had 3 other character plans and shelved them all because hot damn, CCK has some juice.

Blowing my mind that the NYC transit voice is a woman.
One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Ok, two more emotional bits so I am not tearing up at the booth:

1. The amount of times people have come up and said something like "I just really like your vibe and want to support your work" has been truly humbling. Thank you very much. I promise to do my best to keep the vibes immaculate!

Remember, authors and publishers love to see photos of their games at conventions, stores, or spread out carefully next to your other purchases on any convenient flat surface. #KnollingIsCaring

We're in #Booth3701 at #PaxUnplugged2025 for another 6 hours!

I cannot stop selling other people's books. While talking to folks at the booth today I pitched Star Crossed, The Time We Have, Tacklebox, Spire, and DIE.

At least a few folks scampered off to go find them without talking about my books 😅

Had a great time at Pax unplugged. Saw so many friends. Then went out to dinner with @oneshotrpg.bsky.social and the guys from @systemmastery.bsky.social . Great to meet you all. Hope you sell out of all the books tomorrow!
