Really good tabletop journalism takes a frankly deranged amount of time. Just knowing which games to cover requires hunting down & playing swathes, then once you've found one worth writing about, the more you play it the better the final piece is likely to be. The effort-to-words funnel is brutal.
Thank you so much for the donations. Words can scarcely do your kindness justice. I'll post this a second time, and then leave it at that — know that this has already made a large impact on my sustainability during this trying time. And, again, don't feel pressured! www.gofundme.com/f/frankly-i-...

I just want a job so I can achieve my goal of being rich enough to live in a Hitman level.
I generally don't try to yuck yums but god... god I just do not care about GTA 6 in the slightest.
Glad to see this game arrived just as the height of Game of Thrones' popularity
This would look really cool if I didn't have to hear the word "Yeetmaster"
Bet Keighley is gonna be fuming later when he discovers Dolly Parton gazumped his big news. Fuck.

My favourite teacher had a remote-controlled tarantula they'd drive into neighbouring classrooms
Concerned that we are losing the necessary ratio. 15% of teachers/faculty should be irretrievably strange eccentrics. Every learning experience should have some element where in later life you can reflect with former classmates about how bizarre at least one (1) class per year was.
"After the backlash to Karlov Manor, we decided to no longer 'put the Dom back in Dominaria' by turning it into the first leather plane"
Rejected ideas for Magic the Gathering planes.
Valve is 30 this year which means it's the perfect time to do a Secret Lair with Half-Life, Portal, TF2, Dota, and L4D MTG cards just for me.
I hate the smug arseholes who say exercise helps your mental health because they're *right* and that makes me so angry. I went for a walk and I feel great. Fuckers.
So the National Lottery says you've won a "small prize" when you win £1 Cool, sets expectations. Except they only say "prize" for anything else, and you have to log in to see how much. So I spent a few minutes thinking I'd won millions only to actually get a whopping... £2. 🙃
Thank god drug abuse in Israel didn't surge anywhere else
Looking through the January 2025 staff page on TG and marking off who has been laid off or otherwise left since and wow it's grim.
I'm ill so it's that time of year I marathon every Sam O'Nella video again IS THAT FUCKING FISH JENGA
