Inconsistent zombies and storytelling really hampered this one.

They hit a lot of the right notes for a zombie tale.

Easily 30 minutes too long. It felt like they had too much material and struggled to decide what to cut.

I mean this isn’t even a challenge is it? Maybe it should be twenty times? My response remains the same.

I wonder if the hotel manager will let me speak with Winston?

Gotta be. Brain function bad. Tuesday is the new Monday?

Why is #PowerBI so awful? Srsly. It’s like they took the worst parts of Accel and PowerPoint, mashed them together, the added some Excel looking BS on top of it.

And this is the future?

Even in the future, nothing works.

When in Scotland…

I currently find that if I’m not constantly writing, and I’m not, I don’t even care to create.

I know it’s bad/wrong. I also know it’s worse post-COVID.

With as hard as you got hit by it, I cannot even imagine how your brain is.

That’s my hot take on a lot of anime from back then. And most of it has not aged well.

Cute and rich? That’s my kind of lady!

Literally just listened to a designer do this for 30 minutes before leaving their interview promoting the game.

Dear game designers, especially TTRPG folks. If your only method to explain your game is to describe it in terms of other people’s settings, rules, and designs, you aren’t selling me your game. You are selling me their game and I will buy their game and not yours.

That’s speciesist!

Good time to poop

Asked the wife if this was my BSKY account. She confirmed ‘twas.

I’m verified!

The old ones were pretty terrible, as well. I’ve thought about digging into the Savage World fan rules for SLA, but I’m not big on Savage Worlds, either.

Hivemind question. I know the answer is “yes”, but why?

Can/how do I move #CthulhuCity to a modern era and then bolt on #Liminal?
