iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'm a second-generation comic nerd so re-watching the MCU movies in prep for the next Avengers film is a bonding experience for my family, but now it's got me thinking I need to rewatch "The Inventor" to catch up on the Elizabeth Holmes Cinematic Universe before her Nathan Fielder double-hander.

I'm not even being hyperbolic, is the role playing game the single greatest cultural export of the midwest? It's gotta be Dungeons and Dragons, Prince or Red Letter Media

Does it count as a mental health day if you play hooky from work but spend it ensconsed in true crime. I prioritized my mental health... Prioritized making it worse.

Only human in history who's ever been a regular at a bar where cocktails are thirty a pop it'd be more efficient to pay a dom to kick me in the balls after therapy; CBT by hook or by crook

Do you think anyone ever heckled Plato during a lecture by shouting "Get some new material!"?

I'm still primarily a sceptic, but just because I don't believe bigfoot is real doesn't mean I don't watch bigfoot documentaries, so yada yada I have a copy of the emerald tablet now

What is fucking going on in my life that an algorithm knows that I want to watch a video entitled "How to Dress as a 13th Century Anglo Irish Levy". Why didn't any science fiction authors predict this.

If they were still making captain planet episodes they'd have one where that green mulleted freak would beat my ass for the ecological damage I'm causing by asking AI shit like "who was more of a twink, max stirner or soren kierkegaard"

It would be really easy to contextualize the fall of the western Roman empire as a "trauma" that the west was still dealing with, if not for the fact that we choose to trivialize that trauma by saying stuff like "Men think about the Roman Empire every day"

I played WoW for a bit over like 16 years and it's really interesting that literally 100% of the people from that time period I'm still in touch with are all currently tabletop RPG enthusiasts.

'Eat the rich' is fine, but it's not going to have the effect you want unless you get food critics on the side of the revolution.

why has no fantasy setting combined the boring tried stale ass concept of the 'potion shop' with the soda fountain. Wouldn't you rather get your fizzy fresh healing potion from the tap handled by a guy you call "jerk"?

I'm equivocating between two names for an NPC in my D&D game, a truculent succulent, a pugnacious treant formed out of a baobab tree. I'm debating between "The Great Deck-You Tree" and "Baobob Trunkpants"

"I'm atheist, I lack the subjective experience of faith." "That makes sense." "I'm asexual, I have no desire for sexuality." "Yeah sure." "I'm agender, I have no internal sense of gender." "I can see that, I guess." "I'm aracial, my phenotype is totally independent of my self" "Go fuck yourself!"

I just scored a date recently because someone overheard me complaining about my back pain and it turns out we have the same disc injury. This is what being single after 25 is like.

My parents being burned our journalists with a pathological desire to "tell me why the world is really fucked up" meant that I knew who Henry Kissinger was before I knew my ABCs as a child.

I'd like to imagine Cosmo Kramer is the Seinfeld Universe's expression of Moorcock's eternal champion

I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law
That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore
I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul
I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool
