This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.

The original is my favorite but Trachtenberg has easily done the next 3 best Predator films.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022

Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

If You've Only Ever Played D&D, You're Missing Out - Aaron Ross Powell's Blog Tabletop RPGs are story engines. Why would you want to tell only one kind of story?

While we're all fighting to save democracy, take a breather and try a tabletop roleplaying game that isn't Dungeons & Dragons. www.aaronrosspowell.com/3mem3o2cda22s

Job-hunting is just so demoralizing. Anything I can find has at least two of three drawbacks:
- Pay sucks
- Either well below or too specialized for my education and experience
- The work would grind my soul into powder and I just left a job that did that

So, you know, if you could buy my books?

COLUMBO: My wife, she loves your games. The sunken ghost ship level. It’s her favourite

MARIO: Thank-a you!

C: Just one more thing. Now you say your girlfriend, the Princess, was kidnapped by Bowser, your enemy. And yet you were go-karting with him this morning?

M: What’s-a your point, Detective?

Well, it looks like I have a window for more editorial work, with nothing lined up for the next couple of months, so if anyone is looking for an in-depth manuscript critique--annotated m/s + overview report + follow-up wrap-up chat by Zoom--hit me up. One-to-one mentoring by Zoom is also available.

I share a name with a professional hockey player and have gotten both a job offer and a paycheque meant for him. (I took neither)
