7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film:

1) snow
2) bearded men concealing surprises
3) compulsory party games
4) introverts shunning group activities
5) digestive issues
6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms
7) knitwear

Likewise "Belgians" were the villains at the two Gatherings I accidentally attended in the 90s. Was any of it true? Who knows.

I'd been wondering if it was really helping, then ran out. I learned within a day or two that it wss, in fact, helping. So net benefit indeed

If this is Morktober, next month is Novamber Diceless Roleplaying

I mean I'll also be pleased for people whose brains aren't at odds with basic survival if they're here tomorrow, but they'll probably not notice what with all the "being upbeat and doing things" they've probably got on. The pricks.

World Mental Health Day - Wikipedia

It's apparently #WorldMentalHeakth day. I take a tablet every day that tries to keep me on the right side of just staying in bed doomscrolling. It's a mixed experience.

If you're someone whose mental health is a fucking pain in the arse, I look forward to you still being tomorrow.

Coming soon: The Eternal Ruins RPG The Eternal Ruins is a tabletop roleplaying game about exploring an endless labyrinth of ancient mysteries.

Found this #ttrpg by chance last night. New game using Wild Words system from #Wildsea in which you are kids hatched from statues exploring immense ancient ruins. Very vibes. Nice free quickstart/alpha test too. Worth a peek.

There is a new Wild Words game free playtest thingy about being little guys who used to be statues exploring an immense dungeon. Came across it entirely by chance on YouTube.The Eternal Ruins.

Also - what's PICO like?

Prestidigitation every time.

If I learned nothing from my years of Vampire : The Maskeraid it is that everyone contains precisely ten blood points. No more, no less.

Early on at Uni in Sinderland I pronounced the big city on the Tyne as "New Carstle" and was immediately hunted by angry men with dogs.

Its healing potions. Adventurers have the same amount of blood, it's just full of weird magical sugary additives. In some counties its legally a sauce.

10 horror movies that help explain why In like this.

The Fog
Dawn of the Dead (remake)
The Thing
In the Mouth of Madness
30 Days of Night
Dog Soldiers
Ghost Stories
Lifeforce
Grave Encounters
Quatermass and the Pit

There are more; this is a mini al thought list that will change by tomorrow

I exist in I think two Omega photos - one is of my back, the other is of the side of my head. Good times.

Base nine isn't maths, it's delightful and enlightened.

Oh it's not a problem for us - visions are about significant choices (or meant to be) and I am constantly pushing for "make a decision alone in the dark and nobody knows" as being much cooler than "I was Cleopatra"

Yeah. It's like the people who talk about how great Star Trek is and then argue for shooting people in little boats. Incomprehensible how dissonant the inside of their brains must be.

We discuss this at work as the Cleopatra Problem - that people with past lives turn out to have been Cleopatra (or similar) with a frequency that even I, a maths agnostic, find statistically unconvincing. They are almost never a ditch digger who died at 26 of scrofula while eating uncooked turnip.

Headline: "Millenials are ruining steel and fishing industries"

Interesting maths words about the difference between d10s and d6s and PBTA and #ttrpg and apparently they may mean my best friend turns into a monster? I often get confused by maths words as any number of exasperated mathy folk can attest.

"guns" is very kind :P

Presumably back when I had pecs rather than boobs? So... 1992?

Its Warhammer 40K art of Frateris Militia. It's... I dunno how best to describe this. A gentleman crouched on a bit of pillar, knees wide, wearing jeans and knee-length bookts and... uh... a kind of loose vesty thing that just covers his nipples. He has an Imperial eagle on his chest. A big scruffy beard. He is shouting. He has a barbed whip. It's... it's all very heterosexual, I'm sure, and I'm a degenerate for thinking otherwise.

I had to google Frateris Militia, and now I'm worried this is going to awaken something in me.

When I saw it I just assumed some think tank somewhere had told Ms Badenoch that Pratchett had a 78% recognition rate in the over 30s or something. As in, it's a lie. Occam's Razor and all that.

Also there is a difference between owning things and reading them.

- Battle because space monks could have a cool space monk-y aesthetic (with some space monkeys for good measure) because I liked Name of the Rose. Also because I don't like space marines especially they're just too unsey gung-ho military bro fic.

I forget my point. It might be "go lady heads"?

I don't play WH40K and if I did I wouldn't play female space marines. I'd play Tau and ignore all the bits of bolted-on extra lore intended to stop them being goodies. And I'd call them goodies in front of other WH40K players until they got angry. But if I had to I *might* play male Sisters of -

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

The trifecta of #ttrpg space exploration!
