I was prepared to rail against 'subscribing to D&D'... ... until I remembered I upgraded my Roll20 account to the first paid tier, so I already do. I'll be back as soon as I update my diatribe to railing against 'being forced to subscribe to D&D through WotC'. (which is actually somewhat of a...

I meant on TV. In the 70s. Damn, that still makes me old, doesn’t it?

As a child I watched the Abbott and Costello movies. All 36 of them…

I’m going to see it. In 3D. Once. Like I did the first one. Visual spectacle is fine by me as long as it’s spectacular enough. I’m a lifelong reader of fantasy & science fiction. I’m used to the story not being good (but dragons and spacecraft being amazing). If I feel like my intelligence...

I didn’t expect the Willow series to be The Wrath of Khan of Willow movies, which consists solely of Willow. ie, it’s about mortality, and unfortunate parental relations. That 3rd episode was very satisfying.

Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey D&D.

I'm fine with 'species', will probably still use 'race' out of habit, and probably should try not to, because in my new home-brew setting the preferred term is 'people'.

The Foretold create time paradox.

I picked up a PS5 over Thanksgiving, so I’m ready to give Solas a… stern talking to. Think there’s a chance for a 2023 release?

Counterpoint: the actor also played Lobby Boy, therefore is good.

Cornhole and drone racing on ESPN make me laugh... right up until I remember my favorite program on ESPN used to be "Cocktail Dress Ladies Billiards", which I swear was a real enough thing.

I suspect he means “Daemon” as in Daemon Targaryen, ie Matt Smith’s character in House of the Dragon. I also suspect he has all the imagination of a damp cardboard box with an ill-tempered cat sitting in it.

It’s where the most imaginative entertainment industry reporting is done!

Brie Larson sings an amazing version of Metric’s ”Black Sheep” in Scott Pilgrim, therefore criticizing her excessively is objectively wrong. (she’s also fine as Ms. Marvel)

Bounding Into Comics is basically “oh noes, comics are too brown and queer now”, isn’t it? One of the pasty misshapen sons of Gamergate.

The Muskhelm produces a variety of effects, including material success, delusions, and children. The Muskhelm was inspired by the Müskhelm from the Richard Wagner opera “Der Ring des Elektrischafrikaaners”.

I think they showed the cost of being rebel insurgents, ie it cost them their relationship. They illustrated Luthen’s soliloquy to the mole. I like that. In an inferior work, Cinta would never have made it off Aldhani.

Those billion dollar interest payments add up! To be fair to Elon, there are ways to make Twitter profitable, or at least an asset to his wider business empire. None of them involve free speech, however.

During the COVID lockdowns my group started an OD&D campaign. Four playable races (which were classes). It lasted 2 years. So when that ended and I began running 5e in a new homebrew, we leaned hard into the opposite direction. The Arc has something called the Ikosothropos, the Twenty Peoples...

Why am I picturing this as a scene from Tron? (if Tron had a budget of 44 billion dollars but looked as good as Second Life)
