Long ago, @felicia.day helped me out by giving a platform to a webseries I wrote and performed in called LARPs. Thankfully, she's the real deal: she wants to create stuff on her terms. I'm thrilled that she gets to bring The Guild back. Best of luck! Looking forward to seeing the next chapter.

Okay! Time for #GamesOfTheYears, where I choose one video game released each year of my life. Games have to be released in North America that year to qualify. (This is a personal list. Love to hear your own GsOTYs! But obviously I haven’t played every game out there.) Thread starts here:

Considering doing my personal, subjective Game of the Year for every year I've been alive. Criteria for what year a game is eligible: - Ports do not count unless significant content was added/fixed/remastered - Where possible, I'll be using NA release dates (since that's where I am)

Social media post by Sam Shopp captioned about their “most prized possession” — a used copy of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë defaced so that every mention of “Jane” is crossed out and replaced with “Spiderman” or “Spidey.” The left image shows the book’s cover, a Barnes & Noble Classics edition, with the title altered to read “SPIDER-MAN” and a Spider-Man sticker placed over the original cover artwork. The right image shows an interior page (the deathbed scene with Helen) where “Jane” has been handwritten over with “Spidey” throughout

It's distressing when one of my friends' accounts is hacked to spam advertisements; it's another level when that friend has been dead for a while. Resurrecting someone against their will and using their voice to try and sell me something is just awful.

We need exclusive passenger rail in our busiest corridor, and high-speed makes the most sense by far. Don't let NIMBYs leave half our population in traffic on the 401 or stuck on VIA lines waiting for cargo trains to pass. go-alto.ca

In fact, every NPC can be hot. Try and stop me. I'll see you in court.

Ginny Di is dressed as a redheaded warlock. Small horns sprout from her forehead and there are arcane markings on her cheeks. With blackened fingertips, she holds a burned white cloak over her head. Text on the image reads "Reminder that you can simply decide that the mysterious cloaked stranger is hot. No one can stop you. This is your table."

Condo board meeting. They’re playing a 2023 remix of California Dreamin’ for those waiting for this to begin. They’re all way older than me, and I’m no spring chicken. The music is anathema to them. They’re complaining. Now it’s a modern remix of Fly Me to the Moon. Shinji, get me TF outta here.

When I was in high school, I participated in robotics competitions. Learned about electronics, engineering, working in a team. Most of all, I learned the value of not giving up despite looming deadlines. Once we won it all. Once we came second. Once we got routed. Which will it be this time?

What's the most you would be comfortable winning as a prize? At some point, I think the value would be so high that I'd be overwhelmed. I don't want a billion dollars. I've seen what that kind of money can do to someone. Assuming you won the lottery, today, what is the maximum you'd want to win?
