I long for a back-to-basics web: Markdown for text, JPEG images, no video, no Javascript or other client-side scripting, writable by a human being with a text editor. Make it as advertising/corporate hostile as possible. And above all keep it *small*. In other words, web like it's 1996 again.

It was very, very weird to discover that “believing what people say” is a sign of neurodivergence.

Working on my "Someone Save The Cat!" scenario for #AlienEvolved, in which the crew goes up against a nasty alien life form ... and the players occasionally take control of the ship's cat.

It's a meeting light day at work, so I'm catching up on all of my myriad to-dos. Listening to Hole's Celebrity Skin album, which I paid minimum attention to when it came out (save for its namesake track) #GTD

Back to #MegaCrawl, one of our weekly Blackrazor Guild #DnD campaigns. We're hoping to solve the mystery of the Menagenarium level this week. Last time around, we defeated a pair of red dragon wyrmlings. This week we're exploring the "Ape" habitat. I'm sure this will go just fine...

Back to the #MastersOfTheUniverse movie, as I build out Grahärden for the B-Team in my #ShadowDark campaign. At one tine, it was a subterranean goblin settlement which protected a massive chasm leading into the monstrous depths. The dwarves conquered it and built a citadel above and below.

Chinese poster for the new Spider-Man film makes me want to start buying film posters again.

Spider-Man poster referencing Ne Zha, deity from chinese folklore and mythology, a fierce warriors who could match Sun Wukong the monkey king in a combat, who went through a rebirth to gain his divine status - having his mortal body rebuilt from lotus roots.

Arcana Unleashed is the first #DnD55 book I've seriously considered buying beyond the core book, mostly because it includes the missing subclasses from the 5.5 Player's Handbook (e.g. Conjurer, Transmuter).

Back to the Imaginarium (one of the many extraplaner levels in our #MegaCrawl #DnD campaign). A giant crab with poisonous tentacles in it mouth just erupted from a nearby pool of water in one of the weird zoo's habitats, paralyzing our dwarven warrior (and party cook)

I'm doing a little research for the upcoming episode on the utility of the 10' foot pole. I discovered that #BaldursGate3 doesn't have this bit of venerable dungeoneering gear. It *does* have quarterstaves, but alas, it doesn't appear they can be used for trapfinding and/or pole-vaulting.

Introduced one of my colleagues to the concept of "yak shaving" (I think I learned it from @goodbyeplease.com) As I transition into my new role, I'm spending a lot of time resisting the call of the yak. Sometimes, I even succeed. www.hanselman.com/blog/yak-sha...
