An image of a small, 2.65 oz package of "Nerds Juicy Gummy Cluster" candy, with an image of a piece of the candy under the flavor label, which is "Strawberry Punch." Small print touts that the candy is "mega, crunchy, gummy, juicy." On the side it declares this is a share pouch, but share with who?! Get your own.

Dafuq, I couldn't stop eating those and just when I think the worst of the addiction is over they start pushing the juicy clusters and I just can't, right now...

Can't share them, I mean.

Also, I'm relatively certain that purchasing alcohol and borrowing library books are not Constitutionally granted rights... but I'm no Constitional scholar. 🤷

A screen grab of a Facebook post from Josh Helfgott, it features two images from an incident in which an adult man got into a verbal altercation with high schoolers who were demonstrating in their town before he physically assaulted a female student. Several other teenagers stepped in to defend their peer, ultimately chasing the man away. The first image shows students grappling the man as he try to maintain his balance. He is desperately clinging to his MAGA hat in his left hand. The second image shows a girl wearing a black hoodie that says, "CHOOSE KINDNESS ALWAYS." Despite the caption, this person was actually trying to de-escalate the situation. They were truly choosing kindness. Josh Helfgott captions his post with: "If you've ever been beaten up by a teenager wearing a "Choose Kindness Always" hoodie, you should probably reconsider your life choices. " The adult man in the image was identified as Chad Michael Watts and later arrested for two counts of assault causing bodily injury.

Imagine being a grown ass man and getting your ass beat by GenZ/Alpha kids...

(NOTE: Despite the caption, the girl/woman with the Choose Kindness Always hoodie was trying to de-escalate the situation.)

She was such a funny lady! She'll be missed.

With the alpha male mythos extending all the way to sigma, now, we should go ahead and assign traits to the rest of the letters. Just get it over with.

What do you suppose a kappa male is like?

A screegrab of a link to a website for "SCP Hotels." The post suggests that SCP might stand for "Special Containment Procedures," a series of stories and concepts centered around paranormal or supernatural entities or events that are kept secret from the general public.

I dunno, I feel like booking would be a bad idea...

Let's play it soon!

An picture of the "Time Force" zine-style TTRPG by Myth Works. The cover is blue with the title in bold, blue with thick white outline, all-caps font that is centered on the page, "Time" over "Force." The title hovers over a blue and white circle, ostensibly a time portal. White movement lines emote outwardly from the circle. Around the title are several figures. Starting at the 12 o'clock position and rotating clockwise: 12: a cartoonish tyrannosaurus rex with bulging yellow eyes and gaping maw is rising above the title. 2: a "chrononaut" (the games protagonists) wearing his chrononaut suit (strikingly similar to an astronaut suit), but also a bandolier with bullets, a Sombrero is flying off of his helmet, a six-shooter just out of reach, and a classic alarm clock just below the gun. 5: a chrononaut flying in Leonardo da V9nci's flying machine, a painting of the Mona Lisa with a chrononaut helmet (but you. An still see her hair?!) Floating out of reach. 6: a Roman-era vase with a chrononaut/centurion blend figure painted on it. 7: a chrononaut in Samurai armor weild8ng a katana and holding a scroll painting of a woman in a kimono but her face is a chrononaut face shield. 10: a chrononaut in a toga and crowned with an olive wreath reaching for an hourglass. Along the top of the zine cover are printed the names of the authors Vincenzo Ferriero and Ray Chou and the artist Sebastián Adano.

Adding another one from @mythworks.bsky.social to my collection. I'll try to find time to stream a run of this next year, hopefully before spring!

A picture of the "Dog of Montargis" statue in Montargis, France that depicts a dog biting the neck of a man with his arms out and a panicked/pained expression. The statue honors a 13th century legend of a dog avenging his murdered master (Aubry de Montdider) by winning a trial by combat against the killer (Robert Macaire), who confessed to the murder and was hanged. The duel was ordered by King Charles V after the dog "accused" Macaire.

A statue commemorating that time a dog accused a man of murdering its master, dueled the man in a Trial by Combat, and got the man to confess his crime, for which he was hanged.

My dog will stop and look at me like, "WTF R U doing?! Now I'm tired. Carry me."

Review | Eschaton | Archon Games | The Players' Aid YouTube video by The Players Aid

Since #Eschaton by @archongames.bsky.social is my favorite board game of ever, seeing a recent YouTube review say it's probably best in genre is pretty validating.

Trailer - Baccano! [HD] YouTube video by RoxFlowzX

Also, "Baccano!" I just spent 20 min trying to find where to watch it; I don't think there is a legitimate site to stream from but it is very, VERY good.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtuN...

The trailer does not do it justice, just showing the action, really... the characters are absolutely brilliant!

A VHS cover art for the 1987 anime "Bubble Gum Crisis" featuring the four protagonists in their "hardsuits."

My favorite is Bubblegum Crisis (1987/1991 English). It's a limited series (8 episodes) in a cyberpunk setting. I probably like it way more because of nostalgia, but I think it holds up. There was a very limited follow up (BB: Crash, 3 episodes), a 1998 reboot (20+ episodes), and an R.Talsorian RPG.

A stream of dice rolls publicly rolled in the Roll 20 VTT, showing Charisma checks with results of 18, 24, 18, and 17.

When the #BBEG casts Time Stop at the start of the round to cast some beefy spells and then summons a pack of nasty wraiths so you pull out your Dispel Magic scroll and roll straight Charisma checks for each spell.

Dude powered up and then I just powered him back down.

An "oni" character from a Shadowrun 5 actual play, named Popi. She has blue skin, blue horns, white hair and red irises. She is wearing thin glasses and a purple dress similar in style to a Chinese "cheongsam" with pink flowers on it. She is muscular and standing in a hand on the hip pose. Her right arm (the one resting on her hip) has a red dragon tattoo. She is standing in what appears to be a bar or nightclub, but the background is blurry.

The #Shadowrun crew is in San Fran and already bribed a local go-gang. Now it's time to see what the job is. Can Popi convince Ms. Johnson that the crew is worth more than the initial offer?

Starting ~7.30p ET/4.30p PT (Wed)

Hey, I get to play in this!

Willie Burnham is way past his prime, but he can still knock them down in this post-apocalyptic #TTRPG built on a #PbtA framework.

The game really makes me think of "Remnant: From the Ashes."

Stream will start at 830p ET (Thursday)

Come say hi!

A screen grab of the results screen at the end of a game of Team Fight Tactics, a "battlechess" game where you purchase champions and place them on a board, trying to find a strong combination of champions and board configurations to beat other players in the match. Champions have 5 tiers of power with matching costs from the shop, White (1), Green (2), Blue (3), Purple (4) and Gold (5). Finding three of a particular champion in the shops combines them into a single 2-star champion. Having 3 2-stars of the same champion combines them into a single 3-star champion. As you proceed in the match you gain 2 experience per round. Your level equals the amount of champions you can field on the board. Between rounds you can purchase XP 4 at a time at a 1-1 exchange. You gain coins for winning a round, win or lose streaking, and holding on to coins (interest). Between rounds you are presented with a store of 5 champion to purchase or you can reroll the shop for 2 coins. This shows I won the game with 6 3-star Champions on my board, 2 2-star Champions from the Gold tier, and a 2-star dragon Champion (dragons are a special aspect of this season of the game and have costs outside of the normal 1-5 and count as 2 champions on your board).

This screen grab shows that I have a 2-star Aurelion Sol (a dragon champion in Team Fight Tactics; also a playable champion in League of Legends) in play, one on the bench, and 2 1-stars on the bench as well. The final 1-star is in my shop, which would grant me the 3-star Aurelion Sol. I would have had the coin to purchase after the round, but it ended up being the winning round so I was unable to get the 3-star Gold tier dragon champ. I didn't need it to win, but 3-star 5 tiers have special casts and animations as well as it just being fun to say you got the 3-star.

When you have a GREAT game, but you're mad anyway:

Supah DOPE!

Welp, there go my medallions...

Truth!

I have:

• a Wed game that we meet every other week even if some players can't make it,
• a Thurs game where I am always available and when the players can gather, I run the session,
• a Fri game where we survey each month to see which Fridays everyone is available.

The key is flexibility!

we need to change the AI conversation. YouTube video by Michael Burns

Social media isn't the place to push nuanced discussion on hot button topics, you just piss everybody off and get piled on.

Just how it do.

But it's important to seek context and nuance when you can, for real conversations with real people you care about.

Faxing still exists to create a barrier to document submission for the sole purpose of increasing revenue by:

A. extending fee periods (since whatever it is "can't" officially cancel until documents are submitted)
B. charging late fees

There is nothing—NOTHING—that will convince me otherwise.
