Dionysus 🍇

Happy Presidents' Day. I hope you all go buy a nice mattress, piece of new or used furniture, or an appliance at the lowest price of the year with no money down and no interest for 36 months.

Orrax Manifested The Mists peered back. A creature slipped through into Tyria and found a willing partner to contain it. To manifest it. Thankfully, Tyrian cuisine seems to keep it satisfied. An immortal shadowy demonic presence from the Mists, Orrax is here to be your new best friend! Go on adventures! Glide around! Find some tasty snacks! Make a bargain for your immortal soul! Swish a fancy new tail that you may not have had a few moments before! Orrax will join you on all of your adventures—just as soon as you finish letting it manifest through you into Tyria. Orrax's full name starts with "Angharad Cathassach Vercingetorix, Vanquisher of Ten Thousand Nightmares, Merciful Conqueror of Eight Realms, Sealer of Ipos, the Third and Final..."

This was a big achievement for me. I thought it too daunting to do, but I got it done. Orrax is very cool.

Shortly after obtaining, I salvaged 13 ascended backpacks. 🤪

Six stickers on a yellow sheet of paper. There are some uncool beans, aliens doing the see no/hear no/speak no evil bit, an eager beaver, an okie dokie artichokie, an exasperated fried egg, and a rubber duck in a latex fetish suit with a ball gag.

Hey! More stickers! All available at:

“Meta spent billions just to be outdone by this Steam game made by four people”

WHAT. A. HEADLINE! 🤩⭐🔥

Sit with friends and strangers at the bottom of our screens while you work/study but with animal crossing/ webfishing vibes (and not meta hehe)

Where can one find these?!? I must try them.

This is so cool. I love Raddle so much. Congrats!!

Raddle #335 - Wingspan Birds From SCREECH to OWL co-written with Elizabeth Hargrave Sun, January 25, 2026

I have designed a week of bird-themed puzzles for Raddle! The first is SCREECH → OWL at raddle.quest/335

This is correct.

Not a lot of snow is expected Friday, but what snow we get late morning through the afternoon will be blowing sideways. Visibility drops to zero quickly with all this wind and snow showers pushing through. The wind will be out of the northwest at 20-40 mph, gusting up to 60mph.

I own C20. I loved Changeling the Dreaming back in the day. Even had a few changelings appear in our VtM LARP in college.

Here are the builds, modified from the typical condi builds on MetaBattle and SnowCrows.

Ah, Path 3 of Ascalonian Catacombs. This happens to me a lot. Looks like ghosts aren't meant to use land spears. 😆

I am really enjoying Alis, my condition Guardian. I gave her full grieving gear with Balthazar runes, sigils of Force and Bursting, and a Relic of the Aristocracy. Great condition damage with reasonable burst damage. I have builds for core Guardian, Firebrand, and Willbender.

CW: Using CWs.

New year. New reason to clean up who I follow, especially those accounts that blast traumatic current events without using Content Warnings (CW).

I am so sorry for your loss. :(

Extreme celebrity boardgames:

I have the income. I am a potential backer. There are other reasons dissuading me from doing so.

I can understand that. However, I own the core set and intend to keep playing Draw Steel. Sadly, MCDM will not get to know my thoughts on why I didn't back the current campaign or what products I would happily purchase. I do want to support, but I have no incentive to do so at this time.

I see that Draw Steel is crowdfunding for 2026, & they are having backer-only polls. As someone who decided not to back, it is interesting that my opinion isn't being sought. Only those that already have bought in have opinions that matter. Seems like not the way to go to broaden your base. #ttrpg

MASH disappearing off streaming at this point in history is like its own bad omen

The good news is it's available for cheap on DVD without the laugh track

Have you seen the new ttrpg? its called IRON HOPE it uses the Engraved In The Heart system, but you can also use it to play Bedtime Bozos too. Dude it's a rules-flaccid demure-core egg collecting system that literally uses the Borko manifesto. Throne Throaters is compatible with it. You can literally play Throne Throaters with it. There are 10,000 punters on Project Punter punting Throne Throaters right now. People are calling it a Dungeonbone killer. Melvin Shneeb reviewed it on his blog, Shneeb Hole. Go to Shneeb Hole to read about it. Systems Bitch Magazine says it revolutionizes incentivized friendship.
