Runemaster would make a totally perfect spec for Monks in WoW, they could just rename and re-icon a bunch of powers into a non-Pandaren version. They should totally retcon the Scarlet Enclave monks into those, give it Light lore right from the get-go. Especially if you can connect monks to shamans.

Okay, hear me out: 2D animated comedy/adventure, like Lower Decks, set in Eberron, explicitly. As with LD, it's a comedic take on a wider, serious-stories world. Eberron can allow itself to have fun with one-off jokes, while respecting the wider canon as something not founded in farce.

I’ve been wearing these boots for less than a week, and the zipper-backing sidewall rips out. I’m gonna have to cut this whole segment out with scissors, before it jams the zipper teeth like it did on the last pair. (I had an identical pair of the same boots worn for 3-4 years.)

A tall black boot with red laces, with a zipper along the inside, the lining behind the zipper ripped to shreds.

So, honestly, BlueHost (after they merged my original HostMonster hosting package) is just doing crappy as a web/mail host. They keep trying to sell me AI packages. And now I can't even get into my old email. Looking at something new, Squarespace probably has a promo code from someone I know..

Steak taquitos! For a few years I loved those things. Side of sour cream, dipped the cut end. Crazy high protein, actual steak. Then all the Taco Bell‘s in my area was part of a test market that lost them early, maybe a year, before they were removed entirely.

I have cried at least twice tonight from the messages and videos memorializing Sam Neill. I may still as I see others. Still grappling with how big an effect this one actor had on my childhood. Alan Grant, Merlin, and several other roles spread across 30-some years of my life. RIP.

Okay, I JUST had a deep structural idea for making a serpentine character rig. Now I need to see if Moho can construct it functionally...

Okay, honestly, can we get an option to turn off reposts from people we follow in the main feed? I have more than a few accounts I have to turn off the reposts from, because I wanted to follow them for THEIR posts, not the endless stream of RTs they post from others, and it floods my feed. Unfollow.

I don't expect a response from this guy I've been debating, but I think he's stuck on a philosophical tent-stake and doesn't realize he's stuck on a baseline that isn't as absolute as he thinks.

The pet bed they're adding to WoW Housing. MASSIVE, MASSIVE systems potentials, there. I wouldn't be surprised if they add a similar system for mounts outdoors, and maybe even systems for hunter/warlock/etc pets, down the road.

Just finished the He-Man movie. It’s about everything I expected, and not much I didn’t. I liked it, but I recognize it as flawed, in ways I anticipated, but the good outweighs the flaws, IMO.

So I figured out that I might NEED Ember Alley to become a musical, just to tell the story properly. I can totally see a song as a coordinated effort of magics to build a harmony as a spell-weaving, for a combined goal, utilizing foresight to enable duets, generating energy from shifts and emotion.

String cheese stick, wrapped in 2 slices of bacon. One wrapped lengthwise for the ends, the other wrapped like a coil to hold the 1st slice in place. Probably could do it with lunchmeat, too, with less concern about cooking. Greasy and delicious. Made 2 to start, might make one more..

Oh jeez, Black Bird Coop just did a watermelon-crushing vid. I'm crying, it's amazing. I love this latest viral trend, reminds me of the good old days of the ice bucket challenge.

Gah, I hate it when folks repost their entire catalogue in one burst that buries my timeline in JUST them. Instant unfollow from me.

my one contribution to the discourse: until there is universal basic income and universal healthcare globally, you are gonna have to either fight for those things to exist or support indie animation with your dollars because we still exist in capitalism.

I have achieved a burst of character rigging insight in Moho, one of those moments where all the parts of the tutorials I'm watching are adding up into a fully comprehensive plan for how to approach my character rigs for Ember Alley's complex, dynamic 2D characters, including centaurs and dragons.

So, is the way my computer chair always rotates clockwise whether I move my hips clockwise or counterclockwise (to rotate the casters and avoid leg-frame warp) a manifestation of the Coriolis Effect?

I just got a killer idea for WoW, I don't think they'll ever do it, it has too much work involved, but it would absolutely revitalize the game and increase story potential, IMO.
