I play Dungeons & Dragons on Adventure is Nigh! I watch bad movies on Best of the Worst. I perform Improv Comedy at Comedy Sportz. And somehow, I still think I’m pretty cool.

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I've have that planned since we started season 2. Once I started seeding the black ooze.

I'll talk to them about it... but I'm pretty sure Mike and Jay usually handle that. I do have a lot to say about it and, it just so happens that, I'm going to talk about it.. today actually with the amazing @darrenmooney.bsky.social over on The ReWind at @secondwindgroup.com

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Part of the problem is me specifically. I have the books, I've read the books.... but I still don't get it. I want to watch someone else do a thing and I can't seem to find anyone DOING the thing. I also can't go into more details as I don't want to call out creators.

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

In about 40 minutes @prettygrimgames.bsky.social and I are are back randomly going through Dark Souls. I did dome digging and THINK I found where some key items are... it's not going to be fun. Watch Here:

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

UUuuuuugg. Here it is, the most modern of 1st world problems. There's only 1 YouTuber making explainer content for for an INCREDIBLY NICHE subject.... and they SUCK at presenting information and editing!

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I think Resident Evil (2026) is dumb, silly, and full of videogame logic. (complimentary) Overall, I liked it but it does biff something so bad that that biff is all I'm thinking about. So I give it a resounding "meh".

Part of me is sad that this story arc is ending, but I'm also immensely grateful that it was able to reach an actual conclusion after The Escapist's demise. Even having never watched any D&D-based stories before, I cannot recommend this series enough. Easily one of the best things on YouTube.

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I wasn’t either. But… it means we get to start something new!!!

I am once again asking everyone to please check out the best #DnD show on the internet. This is out now and is one of the best episodes of an already excellent season.

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Based off of something even cooler!!! forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Death_t...

Death tyrants were an undead form of beholder, similar to zombies, that retained some innate magical abilities.[3] They were often used by powerful wizards as guardians. They were almost never encount...

In 45 minutes!!!!

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Correct. And we also did a wrap up/talk back episode.

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Absolutely! The double crazy thing is how ripe it is for expansions and DLC Smaller regular adventures… just like D&D! So BG3 SHOULD be championed by corpos!!!

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I played mostly on my Steam Deck, so settings can go LOW.

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Frankly it’s mostly patience. It’s a ridiculously long game with a lot of fiddly rules and interactions. Don’t be afraid to look up stuff and use the occasional save-scumm. It’s not a game for everyone, but (in my opinion) totally worth the time.

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I will be replaying it and making some purposefully different choices to see more of what missed this first time. Like, there's fish people in the underdark... what????? I look forward to seeing more of this weird and beautiful world.

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Being a D&D enjoyer, I did feel a bit of pressure to play BG3 and that did make me come at it with a healthy amount of skepticism. But it's story! AND (most importantly) my involvement in that story is what made every decision impactful. Combat always felt challenging and the outfits were great!

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

It's not a perfect game. There was so much jank both intended an unintended. Like, when do you WANT ME to use mage hand?!?! But it was worth it. Here's a shot of something weird that happened a few times. My character got jettisoned from the planet and could do nothing but load a previous save.

The orb is not a part of the game and this character should not be standing on it.
Your character cannot move and you can do nothing while on the orb.

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I beat Baldur's Gate 3! In total: 252 hours and 3 attempts over the past 3 years. 85 hours in this last one alone! (a pure Wizard playthrough) Now, I always liked this game but now seeing most of it... it's somehow so much better than I thought it would be. The hype is real and deserved.

A screenshot of two Steam achievements for the video game Baldur's Gate 3.
One reads:
All's Well That Ends Well
Finish the game (with a heartfelt thank you from Larian Studios).
23.5% of players have this achievement

and the other reads:
Hero of the Forgotten Realms
Save the realms: destroy the Absolute once and for all.
24.5% of players have this achievement

As I look upon my Switch 2, quietly collecting dust, I affirm your decision.

I loved the Loony Tunes but they were OLD when I was young. Kids have so many more (and date I say) better options now.

I mean, the kid was maybe 6… so I’m going to assume , no.

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

There’s a moment at the beginning of Coyote VS Acme where Wyle E Coyote is in a ditch with the Road Runner looking over him. A bomb drops and the RR runs away before it lands… exploding the Coyote. A young kid in the audience turns to his dad and says: “Why didn’t he help him?!!”

Jack Packard @jackpackard.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Rule 1: if it’s funny, it doesn’t matter. And THAT was fun! Sometimes it is tough, looking back on how I DM’d and realizing that I could have done something differently. I could have hidden and fudged my rolls. Could have added some legendary resistances. But it worked so well for the story.

Names of mic pickup patterns. We must stop the nonsense. I'm never going to learn which one is "hyper-cardioid." My concrete proposal for simplified nomenclature:
