Can't start the latest @tkingfisher.com book because I'm stuck on the dedication. My favorite author plays D&D and I haven't been trying my hardest to get her to one of the cons I'm working? What's wrong with me?

@sumsung.bsky.social Chatting today with the customer service bot about my Samsung washer/dryer combo. It gave me some helpful answers, and 2 videos I'm not sure of. Should I click on those?

Every time I started the @stellaris.paradoxinteractive.com launcher, I'd ask my wife if we wanted Taco Bell. I couldn't figure why until today.

New 4k 43" monitor attached to a 4090 big rig. So, let's see what a 2500 star galaxy in @stellaris.paradoxinteractive.com looks like. Mmmmm, those xeno brains look delicious.

@hwinkler4real.bsky.social Interested in meeting again at MegaCon this February. Even if it's just to say hello and relate to you how big of a fan I am. You spent some time with me at the Celebration Car Show years ago and signed some of your books for my daughters. I've been delighted ever since.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.

This last little bit of galaxy doesn't seem to want to take a trip to my brain sucking planet. Brain sucking is cool. You guys should visit. #Stellaris

Post a photo of you from a different era All of my different era photos are of me being desperately uncool. But this one. This is a photo of me in the car I worked on for 2 years with my dad.

"Hey, Thomas, you spend all day at work on projects to analyze data from theme parks and their parent corporation. What do you do when you're playing games?" Ehhhh, more of the same.

There's a new Napoleon movie. I don't think it's going to top the version from a few years ago.

In the middle of running a D&D room at a convention, and I read this passage from @marthawells.bsky.social . I'm specifically sitting in the room in the middle of 300 rules lawyers.

My daughter, 15, is interested in creating and selling commissioned art. Can my artsy friends provide any advice for first steps? She's beginning to post some art here: www.instagram.com/p/CwbKvO3vC0m/ Other samples:

Tagging @troyg.bsky.social because I can't find PI or Stellaris on Bsky (I have invites, you want some?) Another 30 hours of a game I probably won't finish. #sigh. Eternal Emperor, huge population, just building new habs now. Overall, I have 8316 played hours on this title.

Worst (but not his fault): In 2004, during a political rally, Dave Grohl stopped to talk to my 12 year old son about playing the drums. He was the just the most decent fellow. So, to commemorate the meeting, I decided to take a picture.

Repost with something you own that most people don't. Notice the 30 year gap between Gygax and Mentzer signatures. Nice signature in upper left from Kim Mohan.

Imagine half of the dialog with NPCs having phrases like "I see that look in your eye" or "But why are you smiling?" and your hat looks like this.

Saw a home listing today that I've seen before, but now it's on auction. Since I saw it 3 years ago, it's been on the market multiple times. Now the listing says: "Copper piping stripped and HVAC compromised" It's a gorgeous home. From the outside.
