Let us sit upon the ground, listen to Deer Tick, and tell sad stories…

Golly, both the example strips hit pretty hard--particularly the second one; I've said the same to myself countless times over the years since I crossed--reluctantly--into adulthood (technically).

In this latest edition of "Spending Money While in Bed and I Should be Sleeping": I bought Dragonlance books last night. Several. Ones I haven't read and want in my physical collection. Being honest, I regret nothing. #books #ttrpg #dragonlance

“And Sorrow sings the simple song /that screams the whole night through.” —The Train that Stole My Man, by Two Gallants I love this band and have since I discovered them 20 years or so ago. #lyrics #music

Seeing different posts around sharing Peter Cullen's final performance as Optimus Prime and I think that is lovely. Is it weird, however, that I'm not ready for that? I need a bit before I can acknowledge that is ended. 😿 #transformers

I smiled at this and it's easily the best use of a 3D printer I've yet seen.

Hullo there (as Tasslehoff would say). There is now a #dragonlance feed here under the bluesky. #ttrpg #fantasy

I'm in the third book of my long-awaited #Dragonlance read-thru. I spent some time planning this and, so far, it has me looking forward to my late-evening (fun) reading time. I started w/ the Elven Nations trilogy. Curious if anyone can predict where I'm going next?

After years of holding out w/ firm disinterest, I reluctantly report that I have acquired a 3D printer.

Saw The Odyssey again today. Was even more moving, inspiring, and enjoyable the second time. Also, Argos is the best boy. I hope a lot of dogs are being adopted to worthy homes and given that worthy name. #theodyssey

My XCrawl adventures are coming along well and I'm hoping to play next week starting w/ The Funnel (happy to explain to the unfamiliar). Love the flavor and the one-shot'yness (but you can clearly string them into a durable, progressive series of crawls...). #XCC #TTRPG

I will ever be grateful to the Used Bookstore Owner who placed that book into a 14yr-old's hands and who took a discount when she saw that kid was paying with lunch money. #books #hitchhikersguide #bookstores

In the not too distant past my bundle from the Kickstarter arrived. If you don't know it, take a look. It's a standout. I'm really looking forward to running #Dolmenwood w/ my crew this fall. (we're wrapping some other stuff and are in the midst of the usual summer slowdown...) #ttrpg #rpg

Last week’s Deer Tick show has left me reeling and wanting more. Got tix to go see them twice more in not-too-distant cities.

So, is it 2 out of 10 hot _or_ four out of ten hot? I guess I’ll have to buy it to solve this mystery. #heatonist #hotsauce #saucelife

I wish @obsidian.md had a hotkey to toggle the navigation pane. AFAICT it doesn’t. I’m used to being able to do it in my IDEs. That this is my gripe is emblematic of how awesome this app is.

YES THIS. If you are one of the "all is lost" people please feel free not to say so in the comments of my posts, it'll save me the two seconds it takes to "hide for everyone" your comments. All is not lost. All is never lost. I prefer not to have you infecting others with your doomerism in my space.

Watching #Superman for the third time. Corenswet is so amazing. As is Brosnahan. The interview scene with Clark and Lois is perfection. They are perfection together.

When I listen to Punkrocker on Spotify, I want it to start out with, “thanks for watching him, bitch!”, as it does in the movie. I’ve folded the song into a couple of my playlists and I just grin. #superman #punk #KindnessIsTheNewPunkRock #Teddybears

@kiro.dev you’re session limits are too short. When you ask for logs to troubleshoot it exhausts too much of this budget and we can’t make headway. You need to get bigger to be useful.

Any @tourbox.bsky.social users out there with a preset for Corel Painter? I can’t figure out how to rotate the canvas with the dial… so I am sad. The Tourbox is working great with Krita tho. #art #tourbox #krita #gamedev

Imagine a game console that spends 20% of time with a "loading..." screen, and you can only buy it with 5 gamepads – but mostly play alone; meanwhile only 14% of power is used to run the games you play, the rest is for cooling the processor. We would be laughing at this. Yet we think cars are cool.

Being anti-ai is not ableist. What is actually ableist is to suggest that disabled people need to resort to plagiarism and theft to create art.
