Four of the stalk eyes are looking at each other. That could be dangerous if the Beholder gets the hiccups.

Bills like KOSA, and it's earlier predecessor SOPA, are made by parent groups who facilitate lawmakers to legislate so they can abdicate their parental mandate.

Man walks through a desert firefight in a fit like that, you know he fears neither God nor man.

The Last Jedi is important because
A) The heroes of the saga can't be the heroes forever
B) The story is the most important part, not the players in it
C) It addresses who profits in a war between good and evil

Ok. I did enjoy Ghost. But I'll stop doing this.

I will warn you, the last part of Ghost is basically the writers saying "What do you mean we still have twenty episodes? Ok, throw plots at the wall and see what sticks."
On the other hand, Ghost has probably the best tertiary Rider character arc outside of Build.

The face that this keeps happening prevents one from using the "I never sausage a thing" pun.

Being online most of my adulthood, and not being into Homestuck feels like dodging a bullet, then seeing the person who got shot reacting as if they're drunk, high, and bleeding out.

Personally, if you show me a cute dress that comes in my size, I'll want it.
You style my hair and I'll try to keep it that way.
But makeup and heels are for special occasions only.
Does that make me less of a woman? No. I know what I like, that's all that matters.

Terrible D&D magic weapon: The "Nopesh". Deals 1d8 magical piercing or slashing damage. Ona hit, target must make DC 15 Wisdom save. On a fail, target believes they are covered in spiders, scorpions, rats or snakes depending on environment and must spend their next action "removing" them.

There was a ghost.
McKenzie got a great emotional moment after a heavy conversation at the start of the day.
We teamed up with The Mob.
Bigfoot was there.
We got invited to be bridesmaids for an alien queen's wedding.

Valentina met a bunch of faces from her pasts
Valentina punched through a Time Forcefield, untransformed, to be with her long lost friend from another life.

This week in #Magi-Knights, as summed up by @mixupace.bsky.social:

There was a fox girl.
Lucy got all of Valentina's past dumped on her on the way to school
We got building for a Totally Legitimate Family Business for Chloe, leading to perhaps the two greatest NPCs of all time

It also had the "Hold my Beer" rule. If you wanted to do something impossible, you hand your character sheet to the player to your right and say "Hold My Beer!" Then you roll the die. With a 1, you pull it off and all players heal to max gnomes. Any other number, and you die.

If you go below your Bullshit, you succeed on the roll. If you roll a 1, you regain a gnome if you've lost any. If you roll above your Bullshit score, you lose one Gnome. If you lose all your gnomes, you have to dramatically flip over your character sheet and shout "DEY TOOK MA GNOMES!"

You start with seven points to split between Bullshit and Gnomes, with the only rule being that you can't have more than four of either.
Then when you want to take any action while fighting the Great Old Ones, you'd roll 1d6 and try to roll below your Bullshit score.

The silliest thing I ever made for TTRPG space is a one-page RPG titled "Everyone is Henderson." Named for the Old Man Henderson story of yore, it's a game with only two stats: Gnomes, and Bullshit. Gnomes measures HP, and Bullshit measures your ability to pull off insane things.

Carmen Sandiego stealing Plymouth Rock and getting annoyed that the gumshoes don't even try to get it back. "Yeah, everyone thinks it sucks. You can keep it," explains The Chief

Superman 64 is barely even a game.
Any movie that drops to below 10% fresh on rotten tomatoes is not safe for your sanity.
Don't eat natto just because you're curious.
TV shows designed to be hate-watched should not be watched at all.
Unless you have agreed to make content about them, don't partake.

Tonight's episode of #Magi-Knights is titled "Three Funerals and Wedding" and it focuses on out magical girl with multiple lives meeting people who were either in her previous lives, or connected to people who were.

Thank you! If you're into board games, the one we picked up is called "Moon Colony Bloodbath."

Today is my 41st birthday.
I had a very simple day: Bought and played a new boardgame, got dinner and smoothies with the wife, and now I'm waiting for 8:30 for campaign night.

Fantastic and Terrific would be trying to figure out how the Ranger Keys work, Marvelous' innate sexiness would shame Johnny Storm into silence, and Mister Terrific would absolutely be able to give Ben Grimm the ability to turn human at will.

The entirely of Sentinels Enhanced Edition. Ghostbusters I and II, Tidal Blade, Lazer Ryders, Spirit Island, Binding of Isaac: Four Souls.
Essentially, the point of this is, I wouldn't be the boardgame loving girl I am today if it hadn't been for Freedom Force.
