Otakon was my first con, back in high school in the year 2000. Glad to see the aesthetic is still exactly where I left it.

I really hope the lore works for me as well as the gameplay and aesthetic does. Time will tell.

I played that Marathon server slam thing and really liked it. Rarely is the presentation of a game that nice looking.

I’m not impressed.

In 2015 my old boss had an email signature that said “Keep it GREEN just read it on your SCREEN” because overuse of printing paper was a big deal to her.

It’s 2026 and they’re boiling lakes to power ai slop machines and executing citizens in the street for interfering with mass deportation orders.

My friend, it ain't happening

Nothing about this makes murder legal. But it does create a bit of a back-channel go fund me for hit men. But can’t you say the same about Polymarket?

The more people wish for your doom, wager, yet fail to correctly predict it, the more it pays out to the person who eventually is correct. If nobody feels the need to bet on your death, the pot in your name never grows.

Say you’re watching a corrupt official lie on tv, covering up a crime. You say “I’ll bet $20 God strikes them down tomorrow,” and you drop your $20 into the bucket. If God wills it, you win. If not? The bucket starts to fill up. The prize grows.

Crowdfunding a bounty, however, could make for some pretty big bounties. And the betting market angle distributes the guilt. Is it wrong to bet on when a bad person will die? What’s the crime there? You could simply get lucky and win big. Read the trends, like actual investing.

It’s easy enough to rig a Deadpool if you want to commit murder, but murder is a crime. It’s bad to do crime. Very bad. So only a certain type of risk-taking individual would try and collect this Deadpool prize by planning when a person would die and betting on their own plan.

It’s basically a deadpool, but amped up with tech like Kalshi or Polymarket. The more a community buys guesses as to the date someone dies, the larger the prize grows.

You place bets on when a person will die. If your bet is incorrect, it goes into the prize fund. If your bet is correct, you get the prize fund.

So I was writing this spec script about a group of people who use cryptocurrency to crowdfund bounties via a betting market where you win a prize for correctly predicting the time of a person’s death.

It’s a battle between feelings of anger and helplessness.

Damn that’s good

just thinking about korn as cartoon kids

The Summer Hikaru Died is a very good cartoon.

You missed out! But there’s enough tv

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

My wife is having trouble following The Sopranos because they talk funny.

Shout if you’re going to San Diego Comic-Con or Gen Con! I’ll be at both.

They scream at me at the end, and then thank me, for explaining that immortals in Highlander are like capacitors.

Highlander II: The Quickening LIVE! w/ Sam Richardson (HDTGM Matinee) How Did This Get Made? · Episode

In which the entire cast of How Did This Get Made wants to fight me for the way I explained Highlander 2…

It’s as if people are just now discovering the concept of curiosity, and then wasting it as soon as it arrived.

I think my judgement is derived from the idea that people are just now acting impressed with the breadth of knowledge that humanity has always possessed… when it is summarized to them by a clumsy computer program. As if it’s news to them that knowledge exists.

It’s really hard not to be judgmental of people who talk to AI chatbots for fun. I try to tell myself it’s just like playing a video game that’s controlled through talking, but I don’t actually believe that.

You can try and dig up info online, but don't even bother just yet. Just tuck that name away in your head and buy a ticket this fall or whenever it finally shows up on the big screen. ARCO.

I saw an amazing movie last week at the Annecy animation film festival. It's called "ARCO" and I absolutely adored it. I wish I could post a trailer, but there is none yet. When it comes out, I can promise you that it will be your favorite animated film of the year. Something to look forward to.

I got married and changed my name. Just an FYI.
