Interesting and intriguing. I get you! Thank you for this.

That is so weird! But thanks for looking it up. How wild.

Glory to the Sontarans!

Sorry, sorry. I wasn’t critiquing you at all. I was making sure my own comments provided proper context to what I was about to say, which was: holy SHIT this obvious failure of a game failed harder than I imagined.
Your post was good and deeply appreciated.

“How bad can the Neopets TTRPG have done? It was always going to underdeliver, but surely it wouldn’t be too disa-Okay they just posted an apology to the LGBT community for the story in the playtest one-shot. Okay. I…. Okay.”

I just read what was going on, and….

Look. I won’t victim blame anyone who engaged with that Kickstarter in good faith. Being lied to or scammed sucks.

But also, I remember reading the original Kickstarter and thinking “wow. This sure is a scam.”

Jesus, how did it end up even worse…

Let’s find the truth together, my friend.

Yup! But people keep saying “it’s less like Animal crossing and more like-“ before plugging in games I’ve never seen.

Can someone explain the greatness of this game to me without referencing Dragon Quest Builders or Viva Piñata? Most of the reviews that sing its praises are using reference points that are alien to me, which is making it hard for me to understand. 🩵

What do you think of it? I have too much on my plate to get it, but I’ve heard amazing things!

I’m so glad that the 13th Doctor gave me the perfect gif for being genderqueer and remembering that you promised yourself you’d experiment with pronouns more:

Yeah, absolutely. It’s so famous that, like, you and everyone else likely knew what I meant when I said “the one line of dialogue”.

It’s crazy.

Nico Robin’s “I want to live” is quite possibly the most well delivered line in voice acting history. I can’t even fathom being the actor who has to adapt that performance.

The live action actor for Nico Robin, Lera Abova, is magnificent.

But also.

I wonder if she’s feeling any pressure for what may be the single most anticipated line delivery in adaptation history.

Like. There’s exactly one sentence we want to hear her say perfectly. No pressure.

Oh my god… THE surprise of One Piece Season 2, Episode 2.

I cannot, for the life of me, comprehend how they can’t THAT secret the entire multi-year production of this show. I am crying. I am smiling and crying and so happy.

That’s perfect. More perfect than my wildest hopes.

Do NOT spoil.

I dunno. Not a doom crier. This isn’t the end. I’m just sort of surprised by how unexciting they can make such an in-demand reveal.

If I were in charge of @dndbeyond.com ‘s marketing (which…. 14 years in marketing! Hit me up!), I would reach out to content creators and let them reveal something new.

I cannot overstate my excitement for new Ravenloft content. But Hasbro is literally, at this moment, being sued for pushing products so heavily that it, ironically, decreases the value of said product.

And man. Seeing Ravenloft be referred to as “onboarding new demographics to the brand” is just..

The biggest sign of change in Wizards of the Coast’s clinical, passionless new direction is the video discussing “Horrors of Ravenloft”.

- The video is 40 minutes long,
- Refers to this, in their words, as “an opportunity to onboard a new demographic to the brand”. Which just… wow.
- So very dry.

After you’ve had a vasectomy for 3 months, you have to provide a sperm sample to the doctors to prove the procedure was successful.

I have some medical questions, and it is taking all my willpower to not open my email by saying “The day of jizzening is almost upon us”

Doctors are heroes.

I really love my players. I’ve been on a 2.5 day vacation, citing some burnout.

One of them just sent me a digital gift with the comment line reading “PTO”.

Jesus, that’s so kind. People are so kind. 🩵

First solo-vacation day in over 2 years.

First day with a completely clear schedule in 2026.

…..
…………..

So.
People. Just.
Lay down. Then? And they… do nothing?

Okay. That’s… I can do that.
I can do that.

My mother-in-law just told me how she comes up with and memorizes her PIN numbers. It’s the funniest fucking thing I’ve ever heard…. But both her and my wife would be so upset if I gave a hint.

So I have to just sit on this.

But I know. I KNOW. It would go viral.

I am burdened with knowledge

With great love to @borderlands.2k.com .

For the dudebro on the go.

This is genuinely joyful and brightening. 🩵

Absolutely! And, like, they’re not having the same journey at all. They’re doing different things.

But it’s hilarious how much [obstacle] is an insurmountable boss fight for Grace and then Leon just casual does [obstacle] thrice with a special kill animation each step of the way. 🤣

Grace is my favorite, to be sure.

The POV pivots in Resident Evil Requiem are amazing.

You’ll basically play as Grace and nearly cut yourself to death because you spent 30 minutes trying to open a pickle jar.

Then it just fades over to Leon, who’s making a pickle sandwich, extra pickles, with a pickle tucked behind his ear.

Any spoilers or teasers for future episodes will result in blocks. 😅
