Played two games on BGA last night. One was definitely slicker and better produced but honestly, it's the clunkier one I want in my collection. While neither are doing anything new or interesting, one just has a charm about it I can qualify and that's so important.

Are You Being Served, the funniest show of all time, is on sale (the complete series) on Amazon. You're welcome.

Don't forget to hug your Cheezebois.

Sticker Mule is both A) A more expensive option and B) Run by a trophy-hunting, Trump-worshiping Qultist. You have other options! Check this spreadsheet! (And while we're at it: ditch U-LINE. Also unfathomably awful people.)

all I had to do was click on one sticker ad on IG and suddenly my feed was full of other sticker ads. I clicked on them all and did the math for you. The best small-run samples pricing is at SlapCo; best overall pricing is at Sticker Cyborg or Sticker OG Factory. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Today marks the 10-year anniversary of the release of my last album, Mandatory Fun. So to celebrate, this Friday I’ll be releasing a NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO!!!

Finally got around to putting up some art. Got my Ark Nova art that I've been lazy about getting up. A Japanese album cover my partner got me. A Keifer Sutherland photo I got at a random art fair. And a print my best friends got me on vacation. Always fun putting up art.

The Reds had the top power bat in the draft at 2 and drafted a pitcher at 3 who doesn't even predict to be a number 3 starter...cause they didn't want to pay the better player. This franchise sucks.

The reason dipshit's head was turned in a way that may have saved his life was because he was looking at a chart he's using to dehumanize an entire ethnic group in a way that will lead to millions suffering and thousands dying, including children. So forgive me my lack of empathy at his sore ear.

Two months ago Greg Abbott pardoned a murderer who texted a friend "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" then drove into a BLM protest in Austin and killed a protester. The universal response from conservatives to the pardon was "Yeah! Woo-hoo!" Now they say liberals should turn down the rhetoric

If your game clearly marks what punch outs are to be discarded like this I will rate it 1 extra point before I ever play it. This is blessed design.

I haven't been out walking much since the attack. Just treadmills. Last time I went hiking it ended in disaster and anxiety. Decided to give it another try today and it went pretty lovely. My depression needed some uneven ground therapy.

Went to the book festival at the main branch of the Columbus Public Library with some friends. Partner said she couldn't make it then turned up anyway to be surprise me. Made a great day 100x better. ❤️

Little baby girl.

Watch a VHS rip of Mother Goose Rock n Rhyme and holy crap there are scenes that weren't in my TV recording! Katey Sagal was Mary Quite Contrary! I also had no idea the lamb was Woody Harrelson! As if this cast couldn't get any cooler.

Zelda likes me holding her paw during naps sometimes.

I can't tell which part of this cursed promotion is making me laugh harder. A: The jingle "Subway, dead kids!" B: A commercial where a kid is scared, traumatized, alone. They see a friend murdered. A care package descends and inside? A 6" meatball marinara.

Dysmorphia is standing in front of a mirror at 7am and telling yourself over and over, you don't need to wear baggy shirts. This isn't too tight. You don't look gross. Your partner would tell you that you look great. Not quite believing it, but at least I'm listening to it.

My favorite thing about using a lifting app is seeing that last week I lifted 23k pounds and this week I lifted 26k. Really gives me those himbo vibes I aspire to.

Wanna help some hot boardgame women get even hotter? Check out these games on the BGG preview of Gen Con releases and give them some thumbs! 🧵👇

Just read where a couple European backers of Monumental are in talks with the ECC. One said a lawyer has been assigned. Good. Clearly the games weren't made. The money was used for other purposes, even while the late pledge was up so, fucking consequences hopefully.

Gutted. My mom was such a fan of her. We watched Popeye dozens, if not hundreds of times as I grew up. But also, Fairy Tale Theater, Mother Goose Rock n Rhyme, and Suburban Commando, she was such a big part of my childhood. 😥 RIP to a legend.

Join Jerry, Joe and Donald as they chat about the first day of our first Kickstarter for Wandering Galaxy: A Crossroads Game! youtu.be/OMVvfsLFDAo

It took 15 minutes into this flashback episode of Acolyte to see something we haven't already seen or couldn't have inferred and even that was minor at best. This show's biggest flaw is it's absolutely dreadful pacing.
