got far enough into this current simpsons rewatch to see my favorite scene in the entire show. some of the funniest animation they've ever done and dan castellaneta's gutteral "ow... OWWWWWWWWWWWW" wrecks me every time

that one big article about how a bunch of americans were taught how to read wrong changed everything for me. now when i get a comment about something i never actually said i think oh, are you one of the kids that got taught three cueing instead of phonics? are you half guessing what i said

lrt: this actually might revive having some sort of personal website. My partner has been encouraging me to look for an audience about my game-systems-as-storytelling rambles that I honestly feel I'm bad at refining. Might be good practice and fun way to get the hyperfocus out 🤔

rolled up a Draconis Reach company to see how it all flowed, and how Aces works for Classic. So far, impressed, and my Javelin pilot is having a bad time (the Victor is a stand-in for a Vindicator, and the Firefly for a Roadrunner)

A game of Battletech, some plastic mechs are facing each other on a paper hex grid map with visible cards on the table. 
A Stinger and Victor mech are staring down a Javelin that has a Firefly in its back. Further down the sheet, a Caesar mech and a Demolisher face the camera.
i forgot to hide the dogs.
