My coworker said "that scene in the café!" and I said "YES!" because I thought he meant the one where Neil meets Eady and talks about metals (one of my fav scenes). But he meant the one where Vince and Neil meet (also good).

At lunch the other day we got talking about Michael Mann's Heat, and god I love that movie. So glad I got to see it on the big screen last year.

Toad's list reads: A List of Things to Do Today: Wake Up (crossed out), Eat Breakfast, Get Dressed, Go to Frog's House, Talk Walk with Frog, Eat Lunch, Take Nap, Play Games with Frog, Eat Supper, Go to Sleep. From "A List" In *Frog and Toad Together*

“There,” said Toad. “Now my day is all written down.”

explaining that all the tricks and traps in my levels are actually an expression of love

Yeah, the wikipedia article was pretty bare on this topic as it went into pre-recorded history. Leavened bread seems much more recent (couple centuries BCE?) though!

How did anyone ever invent (discover?) bread? Also, it seems like it was discovered independently many different times by many different cultures. It's not like it's an intuitive process.

hang on, gotta workshop this a bit

Mind full of dungeons, heart full of dragons? 🤔

Heart full of love, mind full of dungeons.

Tonight I ran a D&D heist oneshot. The party was tasked with stealing a magic orb from a hoarder's house full of cursed magic items.

I'm still getting used to how D&D's pace differs from CoC (where it would have played better), still fun.

Tonight I got to see John Woo's The Killer in theater, big screen. It was good. Loved the fx and stunts

What a week

Writing is one of those tasks that is always harder and takes longer than I estimate

Started reading "There is no Antimimetics Division" last night and there's some fun ideas. A bit SCP mixed into a Laundry Files thriller structure so far, which is fun.

Garlic is pretty good. Gonna be a garlic goblin. 2026, my garlic year.

The situation isn't there yet, and there are still offramps, like the U.S. federal government backing down and complying with the state's demands to deescalate, but that doesn't sound likely.

We ran high-level US civil war simulations. Minnesota is exactly how they start | Claire Finkelstein Developments in Minnesota closely mirror a scenario explored in a 2024 exercise conducted at the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, which I direct

A national general strike is needed not just to protest the violence, but to acknowledge the absurdity that we’re all just supposed to carry on with our stupid little daily lives amidst the ambient terrorism of an unchecked state militia executing innocent people in the streets of our country.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

for the low cost of 9.99$ monthly, you too can be a person.

Might fool around and write some horror fiction.

Huh! You don't say!

pulled this off my shelf for no particular reason

Tonight's session was the first combat I've ran so far. I need to do more there to get a better feel for it, but it definitely feels more gamey in how the flavor of attacks matters less than the damage, which is kind of the opposite of in Call of Cthulhu where the vibe is the reason for playing.

‘It’s the underground Met Gala of concrete murderzone design’: welcome to the Quake Brutalist Game Jam Quake Brutalist Jam began as a celebration of old-fashioned shooter level design, but its latest version is one step away from being a game in its own right

thanks to @ricklane.bsky.social for talking to me and other modders. sorry not-sorry for the ludicrous headline quote

btw credit to @asponge.bsky.social who coined “concrete murderzones” years ago to describe QBJ1 and it stuck in my head all these years
