Yeah, I know The Thing. Pretty cool guy, he comes to trivia sometimes. Won't shut up about how I need to watch Pluribus.

Trailer for Behemoth! live reaction: - "So is this, like, a worse Tar?" - "Pascal's usually good I guess, whatever, awards bait" - [Tony Gilroy's name appears] "This is my new most anticipated movie of the year" - I ignore the rest of the trailer to quietly talk to my friend about how we love Gilroy
Deciding which of my two script ideas about sentient parasitic slugs to pursue first.
Trying to quit games for movies but some days all I can do is sit around and think about games.
Some things are cringe but actually they're cool and you should like and do them anyway. But some things are cringe and you should be ostracized from public life if you do them. And I'm the only person who can decide which is which.
We are once again (and always) looking for recommendations! We are especially looking for short to mid-length games by marginalized designers! The longest games we are typically able to cover with the detail that we like are around 60-70 pages, but we prefer shorter for most months.
Tabletop Book Club@tabletopbookclub.bsky.social · 7mo agoIs there a TTRPG that you love(d) reading? Whether it's a diegetic game manual to a dead MMORPG or a plaintext .doc with strong evocative language, we here at Tabletop Book Club want to hear about it! On Tabletop Book Club, Barclay & Bee read a new game every month and discuss its writing.
I playtested Nine Space Games a lot and it's one of my favorite games in years. I could go on at length about what I love about it as a game designer. But the layout is maybe my favorite part. Some of the most gorgeous-while-functional layout I've seen in a game. Standing ovation.
Julien | Starlight Grove@julienlegault.bsky.social · last mo.I had the pleasure of working on the layout for this amazing set of games by @jmstar.bsky.social. each game is wonderfully unique, and the unique sci-fi setting that binds them is revealed to you the more you play/read. thank you for letting me put my spin on it! bullypulpitgames.com/products/nin...
Had that thing with a script I'm working on where I got an idea that made me feel so disgusted I knew it must be right
The photo on the wikipedia page for "pornographic film" is so spectacularly well chosen. Just straight down the middle "yep, that's porn."
I take so few long rests in Baldur's Gate 3 that most of my party's character plotlines have stopped making sense.

In the ONE NIGHT ONLY universe, do you think the big bump of kids with birthdays ~9 months later are teased for it?
Anticipating the new Jane Schoenbrun movie by reflecting on how so little of my art is viscerally upsetting enough
I think Star Fleet should have "bleep blorp protocols." Like you walk into a room and say "warning everyone: bleep blorp protocals are in effect" and everyone knows to check if their newfound crush is secretly a Betazoid fever or whatever.
Sam D@sam.diceexploder.com · 2y agoStar Trek is great because one episode it'll be like "one horror of fascism is how it makes regular people complicit in genocide" and the next is like "uh oh don't touch the bleep blorps or they'll turn your spleen to goop!"
Was writing a blogpost recently that needs more time to cook, but part of the deal was talking about old school murder mystery parties. I have vivid memories of being young and playing a boxed murder mystery party, maybe the second rpg I ever played after D&D. But what was it? Texted my dad and-
