One of my fondest GM memories was the time I took “it’s not my job to figure out a solution here” to extremes and had a kaiju sized troll show up in a Dungeon World game. It was basically immune to all attacks and was marching right towards the PCs’ home town and they had to stop it somehow.

...I need to make more colossal monsters in my TTRPG setting...

VtM tonight It’s the sort of game that’s hard to prep for. We’re either going to have a short scene at the start where the PCs interact with the local Changelings before returning to Vampire business, or a long detour as that spirals into chaos. I need to be ready for either.

I have Nitzer Ebb’s Join In The Chant stuck in my head today, which is extra annoying since the entire song is just a dude repeatedly yelling stuff

I don’t feel sick, but my entire body is sore like I have the flu. The good news is I already have a doctor appointment on Friday.

I am fascinated by the (unsurprisingly apparently terrible) Sex Purge movie Not in a Pay To See It In Theaters way, but more in a WTF Is This Shit? way.

for the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!

I have a doctor’s appointment on Friday so I’m following it with a Spider-Man matinee I think the last time I saw a movie twice in the theater was Avengers Endgame? It was absolutely before 2020.

this is the weirdest movie series ever

Preface: Wesley Bell sucks shit and the people of St. Louis deserve better. Fuck AIPAC. But I’m not surprised Cori Bush lost her rematch. I didn’t see any excitement or momentum for her at all, online or in person. It’s hard to explain, but she just came into this with loser energy and no sauce.

Someone shared Nimoy's reading, but I closed that tab (oops), so here: archive.org/details/brad...

There Will Come Soft Rains The most upsetting interpretation. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OumN...

When I was a kid I hated Westerns. I thought John Wayne sucked and Bonanza was boring and ugly. This means I sadly never watched The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly until 2020 and now it is one of my most rewatched movies this decade. Just a perfect movie with maybe the best score ever.

Man what a good looking album cover. I bet whoever made that is super cool.

Speaking of Kate Bush (I complained earlier today about a young musician faking being her daughter for clicks), I missed Kate Bush's birthday July 30, sorry! Here's my cover of "Hounds of Love." unwoman.bandcamp.com/track/hounds... (day 200 of 365 Unwoman tracks!)

"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care

Random Fact About Me: I have the audio equivalent of Face Blindness but only for The Wilhelm Scream Outside of the specific context of Compilations of the Wilhelm Scream, I have never in my life noticed it and any time I have heard it I have instantly forgotten what it sounds like.

Reading about Watergate raised my curiosity about this man, who played an interesting role and has perhaps the best Wikipedia disambiguation ever.

Had a really fun Marvel Super Heroes ttrpg tonight! It was basically a remix of Alpha Flight annual #1, featuring the ghost of my favorite obscure supervillain Gilded Lily haunting Alpha Flight HQ and trying to resurrect herself in the body of the superhero Snowbird!

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

This bugged me so much I literally installed a Become High King mod The Dragonborn is literally the reincarnation of the first Emperor and the god of humanity! Not to mention all the superpowers. You absolutely have the best claim to the throne.

Not that I'm a fan of monarchy, but one of the many, many failings of Skyrim was that you couldn't just tell both Ulric and Elisif "fuck you. I'm the Dragonborn. Skyrim is mine."

my favorite religious theory is that "biblically accurate angels" is just someone tripping balls who encountered a peacock for the first time

Despite owning a solid collection of books and incorporating Hunger and most of the 21st century lore into our VtM game, I’ve never actually played a single game of V5. I made a character once, but then found out the ST was going to livestream it and immediately noped out.

That would be The Woman in Red, created by Richard E. Hughes and George Mandel, who first appeared in THRILLING COMICS #2 (March 1940). She is currently in the public domain.

Who *is* the first female superhero? I feel like that’s a fact I need in my brain.

Wait a minute they did a remake of Halo 1 that’s single player only!? Isn’t multiplayer the main reason people care about Halo?
