Yes... yesss!!

YouTube already spoiled me on the identity of a secret boss. :( Just on my main page recommendations. That algorithm'll kill ya, man. No videos for me til I crush this thing.

For any retailers out there, preorders at the distribution level are available through ACD, and I already told our SNS rep we’re very excited for this title :)

I have a real gamer mentality when it comes to over the counter medication. Everything is marketed as β€œultimate strength” or β€œmaxxx relief” and I’m like - man I just have a little cough. Can I have regular relief? I’m not using my megalixir til I see a final form.

lol! It's not a bad show from what I remember. It's just, those first couple seasons of X-Men are HEAVY. I'd believe you about Phoenix Saga, they went really all-out and it could have been a finale...

The episode where outer space cockroaches use Rogue's teenage boyfriend to turn her into a monster? This sucks.

Something really weird happens in season 3. Almost every episode through the Phoenix Saga is good, and almost every episode after (at least that I've seen so far) is not. I think maybe the introduction of sci fi elements shifts the show into being more plot-based instead of character-based. No bueno

A frame of subliminal messaging in Disney+’s upload of the X-Men cartoon? Or is this superliminal? Or was the guy with final edit just sleepin?

Into the second season now - I'm finding myself genuinely uneasy at the season's new threat, the Friends of Humanity, a domestic hate group that uses violence and propaganda to terrorize mutants and their allies. I'm, like, pre-mad at all the chuds who are going to say X-Men '97 is "too woke now"

Dude, I feel a responsibility as a fellow Transformers fan to tell you you absolutely have to read Clint Smith's How the Word Is Passed and understand that prisons are just plantations with a different set of codified laws supporting them

leftover feelings aren't quite as gratifying but they'll still do in a pinch

I started rewatching the X-Men cartoon to prep for '97 a couple days ago & I'm enjoying it way more than I even remember. Every character has such a strong POV. Stakes are big, losses frequent. Sharp dialogue. The prejudice angle doesn't pull punches. I can't believe this aired alongside Eek the Cat

I was practicing songs for this week's Mortified show in my apartment and, shorly after, my neighbor started blasting Poison from his stereo. Did I annoy him, or did I INSPIRE him with rock & roll??

This funded and then someone canceled yesterday and knocked it $7 below goal, lol. If anyone feels like throwing in for a $10 PDF or $18 printed copy, that'd be sweet. Just a few days left here!

right?? Frankly it's more an indictment of These Times that her relationship could potentially shape the course of our country

Support a local TTRPG project that’s got a very cool and unique mash up!

My friend just asked me if Taylor Swift was dating Jack Antonoff from Bleachers. Should I be jealous of his ability to separate art from artist so much that he doesn't know, or should I be concerned that his body has been commandeered by pod people?

Funded yesterday but still SO BACKABLE for the next week! For all my weird little zines, I set a personal goal of at least 30 copies in folks' hands. I think we can do it!

Wow, so the next backer (or two) will put this over, AND there's only one "Route 66 edition" left. What that is: In 2020 I traveled Route 66 and took notes on how it could make a sick TTRPG adventure. I'm writing up those notes (translated for Fabula Ultima) for 6 special copies of DUSTLAND SAGA.

Here's some heresy: the 90s is one of my least fav decades for pop music in part because, w/ the prominence of CDs, everyone went to town on making ridiculously long records. Playing Genesis' We Can't Dance right now - 71 minutes. Bat Out of Hell 2 - 76 minutes! Lunacy. 44 minutes with sides or gtfo

Dustland Saga: The Road of Wrath - a Fabula Ultima zine an unofficial, John Steinbeck-inspired adventure module compatible with the Fabula Ultima TTRPG

Reminder: I've got a project up on Kickstarter for Zine Quest right now that really fits my brand of "TTRPG supplement that also doubles as media analysis," lol. I think it's pretty neat & we're sooo close to funding. It's GRAPES OF WRATH meets FINAL FANTASY baby

β€œSnacking again? Are you hungry or are you bored?” is a phrase I’ve heard often and what are you, some sort of narc for the snack police? Let me enjoy these Cheetos in peace but also ACAB
