one thing about me is you can never trick me into being interested in an American high school-like setting for D&D or any TTRPG, I am sorry but I cannot think of anything I am interested in less

my meal schedule is a bit messed up today and so I just ate something which... is that very late lunch, or quite early dinner? Unclear
I need to fix my completely broken focus. I want to love and actively play Kingdom Come: Deliverance but I keep distracting myself.
I have been yawning non-stop all day, genuinely worried I may come home and fall asleep for a good week or two
my favourite part of our long-running D&D campaign (that I play in, not the one I DM) is that the DM has been VERY clearly setting up a plotline about children being abducted for well over two years now, but our characters just do not care and so have to be forced to engage with it
American elections feel both constant and also always far, far away - somehow I am always SHOCKED whenever we reach the point where they are actually quite soon
Curse of Strahd was the first @highrollersonly.bsky.social campaign I ever listened to, and I would argue it played a significant part in D&D and ttrpgs turning into my favourite pastime and I seriously cannot wait to get back to Barovia!!
Nick is back@ikdenick.bsky.social · 4d agoA BIT LATE BUT OH MY GOD HIGH ROLLERS WHAT
Sorry I've not been on much, I've been touching grass all weekend, then busy having a bit of a breakdown at work and deciding to lock in with applications in the evenings so I can get out of my current role ASAP
Seeing ads on Instagram for Legends of the Mist that heavily emphasise the fact it has no stats and the more I see it the more I feel like maybe it's not a game for me - I love my stats!!
currently reading up on the first couple of post-1066 Kings of England and... wow they really loved the name MATILDA for their wives and daughters at the time, huh? Isabella and Eleanore also wildly popular. My favourite though is BERENGARIA
🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham is set to signal the end of the state pension triple lock in his conference speech tomorrow [@Telegraph]
was reading an article in the Ordinaris dingsdaeghse courante, one of the oldest newspapers in the Netherlands, from 1645, and I love how there are already ads in it (in this case, for books)
Everyone, stop what you are doing. I've discovered there is a politician called Teresa May running for city council in British Columbia. And this is from one of her campaign videos. Never have two people with the same name had such different vibes.

the more I read about GURPS the more I want to run something in it
lots of tweets about the Troye MV revealing that the past is a big blob to some people... I've seen it described as Wuthering Heights? 😭
The New Troy Sivan MV. There is one scene in particular that speaks to me.
will having a glass of red wine with my dinner tonight cure my anxiety y/n
burying the lede, apparently the sale is also for London
Am currently experiencing some sort of semi-constant anxiety at the moment so bear with me while I try and find my zen somehow.
I can't explain it but the older the French writing is, the easier I find it to follow along and understand (within limits)
Neil Younger@neilayounger.bsky.social · last mo.13 September 1583: Nothing very important today. In Sheffield (I think), Mary queen of Scots writes to Elizabeth Pierrepont, a young (15-ish) relation of Shrewsbury's who's been serving in the household and to whom Mary has evidently taken a shine. The letter is addressed in ... #earlymodern
