Pretty sure that as of this month it has been longer since I left the computer games industry than the span of time I spent working in the computer games industry.

The latter only seems longer because so much of it was crunch time.

Loved the Stranger Things collection. Especially the two stories with Mr. Clarke!

My two favorite phone scams were both based on books I self published. The first was hilarious because they said they read the book and loved it (it was published like an hour before they called.) The second was even better because they pronounced "genre" as gain-ray.

Why I, Lucifer, Rejected a Deal for Donald Trump’s Soul I’ve made contracts with every sort of lowlife. I’ve been to the crossroads. I’ve been down to Georgia. I’ve signed agreements with legions of lawy...

"What was my value proposition here? With Trump slathering everything with gold paint and turning ICE into a super-charged federal employment program for neo-nazi gun nuts, what am I gaining now on paper that I’m not getting regardless when that bile-hearted bastard keels over?"

as someone who listens to a lot of '70s music I occasionally ask myself did I summon this gas crisis

If You Knew Me In this twisted psychological thriller from acclaimed horror author S.P. Miskowski, a novice reporter walks a perilous tightrope between ambition and obsession. Parker Dillon can't win. Just as she's trying to start her journalism career, her aunt sells the website where she works, and the new owner is keen to replace employees with AI. But her luck seems to turn when she discovers an intriguing cold pitch buried in her aunt's files. Ann Mason claims she did something terrible and never got caught. She's also weirdly infatuated with a long-forgotten TV star. Desperate for a spectacular feature, Parker tracks Ann from Seattle to her home in Arizona. But as she interviews neighbors, coworkers, and friends, her quarry grows increasingly elusive, and her story turns deadlier than she ever imagined. Parker can't shake the feeling that she's the subject, not the author, of this macabre piece--the prey, not the hunter. The more she learns about Ann's obsessions and drives, the more it's like looking in a cracked mirror. And Parker's not sure she likes what she sees...

USAID: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) YouTube video by LastWeekTonight

Here’s last night’s story about USAID, why the Trump Administration has gutted it, who is being impacted, and how many nice things John can say about George W. Bush. It’s more than zero! By a very narrow margin, it is more than zero. youtu.be/tU8S13xYJNM

It's International Women's Day, and thus it makes sense that today is 4.17% shorter than your typical day but you still have to do as much work in it.

Also the savagery on both sides leading up to Towton... a lot of it read to me to be similar to what the Mountain was doing that triggered the war in Game of Thrones.

My stepmother tried convincing me that The War of the Roses wasn’t as bloody. My brain was like Battle of Towton? It took me until the car ride home to realize she thought the Shakespeare version of events was historically accurate.

Summaries are great because they not only help for faulty memories, but much like a "Previously on..." at the start of a tv show episode, they help inform the players what the GM thought was important about the session which will carry over to the next one.

If you want to hear hours of these sorts of stories: drink with librarians.

With just a pinch of midnight movie era John Waters sleaze mixed in with the dystopian melange.

I all at once think that Drivers Ed classes in high school were very much not great and also better than not having them.

Outlines rarely survive contact with the first draft.

The two things I always have to remind myself is that I, at least, would be lost without a map if I didn't start with an outline and that once that first draft exists... subsequent drafts will go faster and feel so much better.

I once ran a Blake's 7 campaign using Iron Crown Enterprises Space Master. It was decades ago but I seem to remember it being a lot of fun.
