The most impressive thing about the YouTube algorithm is how comprehensive it is.
No matter how many garbage AI "music" cover channels you block with the "Don't Recommend!" option, without ever clicking on or watching them at all, the algorithm can always find 6-10 more to push on your front page.
A grid of nine game box covers: Ultima V, Zork, Psi-5 Trading Company, Persona 4, Civilization IV, Ultima Online, World of Warcraft, Planescape: Torment, and Heroes of Might and Magic III.

I resisted the urge to fill all 9 slots with Ultima games.
Look, you...

Only about 2.5 days left! If you miss the Kickstarter there's currently no other way to get the beautiful omnibus edition of this series so don't miss out.
Hey folks!
Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.
This is how it's done.
Yeah, I wound up just alternating hydroxyapatite and flouride toothpastes. One at night, one in the morning.
Hmm, it's been about 20 years since I read that, I think. Obviously it's due for a reread, I don't remember it well at this point!
Morkeleb was my first thought, though I confess that is in part because of Michael Whelan's incredible art for him.
Smaug of course for his speech about his attributes.
My weird pick is Mayland Long from _Tea with the Black Dragon_.
And my runner up is Hestaby from the Shadowrun-verse.
I have never before had a player be quite so excited about his character's brains being consumed by an abomination. #D&D #planescape
John.

Seanan McGuire said "The Imaginary Corpse is one of the best detective noir stories I've read in a long time. It just happens to be about a plush triceratops whose best friends are a disembodied hand and a four-color superheroine."

Oh no. May its interestingness be brief...
Now you see me...
Are you sure it won't be in six, seven days?
Shapeshifting monster, and honestly, at this point I'll take it.
Ok, I give up. Maybe other people see it, no matter how I try to upload it- direct copy/paste into the post, dragging the image file, or linking to it elsewhere- I just see a black box.
I was trying to post "Little Earthquakes" by Tori Amos.
Album cover to Tori Amos's "Little Earthquakes".
Trying a fourth time. Three times now the image didn't properly upload. Let's just try linking to the image.
post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

It is literally the only christmas song that I can tolerate (though I am opposed to versions with lyrics. Just ring some bells!).
That sounds amazeballs.
It may not be true that it never happens, but in my experience it happens WAY less than it did 20 years ago. Then I would have expected it, now I am surprised any time someone does it. _I_ still do it.
Well, I have generally not felt too bad, but I only managed to get 5 1/2 hours of sleep, so this thing is doing _something_ to me.
Just that many, many people think the phrase is "chomping at the bit". Amusingly, I had just used the phrase today, I think also in regards to the vaccine!
My first covid shot and later 1st booster absolutely destroyed me, but in general other vaccines also are mild to me. Here's hoping!
I got my first dose today, and had been so looking forward to it. So far, side effects aren't too bad, but it's only been 4 hours. Also, bonus points for correct "champing".
I am home after getting my shingles vaccine and the first thing I see on bsky is discourse about people convincing each other not to get the shingles vaccine.
Me, being able to get this was the best thing about turning 50.
