Ahh, I forgot to add that the album is Frances the Mute by Mars Volta.

Nikola Mance @dupelgranger.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

Reskeet with the first album you bought with your own money. At the time it was my favourite album.

A person is sitting at the wheel of an old-timey car. They are dressed in dark blue suit, and over their head is a red cloth bag that hides their face, heir and neck. The person is driving to the left. Through the windows of the car is depicted another person in similar getup driving the car in the opposite direction.

Friday Nights was my childhood. I grew up in a place where I couldn’t buy MtG as there were no game stores nearby. I missed it dearly. It’s time for a rewatch!

I’m very proud of my running progress. Last Autumn I started with pace over 7:30 /km, but now I can do 2 km with uphill section under 14 minutes! Check out this Flyover of my run on Strava. strava.app.link/uAuFjKp95Qb

I’ve been out of the game for a long time and recently I started coming back to the hobby. As I’m reading about Game Changers, it takes my mind to the Sam Reich. I’ve been wondering if he was here this whole time…

Apple Maps are not that reliable for me in Croatia. I had better success with Maps.me and HERE We Go. Besides, Apple is in the same bed with Trump just like Google…

Why watch shorts when you can rewatch it on dropout.tv for the millionth time like me 😂😂

I’m in Europe and here’s what I see. Gonna get rid of Google Maps after this.

MTG Black History Month Commander Day 8 is Aminatou! 👧🏾 Having miracle for enchantments is so crazy. This deck can go off in so many cool ways. “Get Out” Propaganda with the Sunken Place faces is my favorite art for that card. A pimp named slick back grand abolisher is a must.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

I’ve been doing the same with my Magic the Gathering collection. It’s shoebox on top of a shoebox of cards. Though I use custom spreadsheet since I haven’t found an app that I like… and I’m sucker for spreadsheets.

So tired of this idea that billionaires are our "betters" whose opinion is super important because they have a lot of money. It's bullshit. They're mostly greedy sociopaths who have no problem destroying people who get in their way. That doesn't make your opinion one to be valued, in my opinion.

Would love to hear more about your character if you would be comfortable sharing. I always enjoy listening to stories about your characters. You have great imagination and creativity.

Nikola Mance @dupelgranger.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

That’s understandable. I’ve watched a lot of L.A. by Night and I loved watching @vampiresnvino.bsky.social play the Beast and tempt the players. Also, his visceral descriptions of monsters and their behaviour really motivated me to pick up the rulebook and the mantle of the Storyteller.

Nikola Mance @dupelgranger.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

I’m also partial to Malkavians myself. I have a concept character I would love to play one day but for now I really really like the idea of being the Storyteller for my play group.

Nikola Mance @dupelgranger.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

I started reading the rules for V5 last year and I like the concept a lot as it focuses more on the story than the more conventional TTRPGs I’ve played. Are you going to be the Storyteller or a Cainite? What is your favourite clan?

I’ve seen people successfully take off those with lighter fluid and a razor blade (performed in safe and well ventilated area). Could be worth a try?

I Am A Cat - a short comic

title page depicts a car driving down a road lined with palm trees in a pastel sunset.

A young me is sitting in the backseat of the car and my mom says from the front, "Alright y'all, we're almost there. Now remember that your cousins have a pet cat. You can't treat cats like you would dogs. So no petting or play-chasing. And their cat is especially anti-social so just leave it alone or they'll bite you."

from the passenger seat my dad says, "Man, cats are so dumb, I would never get one. Why would anyone get a pet that doesn't even like being around you."
The family walks inside the relatives house as the sun sets and i linger behind the crowd scanning around the house nervously for the cat to avoid it.

as everyone files inside, the uncle starts to blare loud music. family members crowd me into a corner and as all of the clashing sounds from the house stack on top of each other i have a sensory meltdown and rush outside of the house, crying.

I sit in the dark on the screened in porch for several minutes before a creaking noise catches my attention. An orange cat stops halfway through the cat-door leading outside to stare at me quizzically. I quickly shift my gaze thinking, "just ignore it and it'll leave you alone."

After some time of the cat walking around the room he approaches me and bumps my leg with his head softly. I'm taken aback by this because I was told that the cat hated people. As I sit in the dark porch illuminated only by the glowing interior of the house through a window, the cat jumps up beside me and curls up into a ball. I stare through the window and wonder why my family would have described their cat like it was some angry beast who would hurt anyone at the slightest motion. I wonder that, "maybe... maybe they just don't understand you at all..."

(additional context that i couldn't fit in the comic: my family like *really* emphasized how much they disliked this cat. they spent several minutes of the car ride talking about how grumpy and mean it was)

If I am a player at your table I’m there because I want to play *YOUR* story. I understand that you want to impress me, but anything you can come up with will be more impressive than “AI generated content”. It will be flawed because it will be human. It will be amazing BECAUSE it is human!

I would also like to add that using Chat GPT and the rest of its ilk is like asking your direct competitor to do the job for you. When it steals your creative job/work, you will have only yourself to blame.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Duolingo Owl is in a hole. A speech bubble above it says “You made 400 mistakes this year.”

I haven’t gotten those yet. I should add them to the cart for the next month hopefully along with the Cults of the Blood Gods.

I started reading D&D books around 2017/2018 and played first game around that time. First non-D&D TTRPG was Ten Candles in 2019 which remains my favourite TTRPG.
