I have this mini. Here’s the adventure that I use it with: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1854583243/night-of-goose-a-dd-5e-one-shot

John Langan’s “The Fisherman”. Its a cosmic/folk horror novel but also a powerful meditation on loss and grief.

No, I have anhedonia and this doesn’t sound like what I live with.

Groups of teenagers on a Friday night in the late 90s/early 00s.

Elder millennial. I think we were the last gen where cigarettes, booze, and drugs were seen as “cool”. Younger people seemed to have figured it out early how much of a fucking waste of time and money all three are.

Growing up in the 90s, teachers and adults were always saying “the geek shall inherit the Earth” or shit like that. We were told we would create a progressive and peaceful tech utopia with a post-scarcity economy where no one goes without.

Well, we did inherit the earth. And all that happened was hateful fucking dirtbags like Asmongold getting paid to play video games and wormtongue their far right incel bullshit into our kid’s ears.

I actually have to thank TYT for turning me to the left. If it wasn’t for their constant retreat into smug milquetoast centrism when presented with “radical” solutions to help the poor and oppressed their rich asses pantomimed giving a shit about, I never would have realized I was an anarchist.

I cannot imagine a sane moment in my life were I’d be completely OK listening to Russell Brand’s dog shit commentary for over an hour.

Aronofsky movies are hit and miss with me. They can be brilliant like Black Swan or melodramatic nonsense that mistakes dour abjection and misery with plot. I’d rather go with Trainspotting if I want the “drug addict’s hell-ride” story. It comes up to breathe every so often with some levity and heart.

I’ve hated that fucking guy since the days of My So Called Life.

I had a friend who did this aikido/irl hadoken energy bullshit. He lost interest in it after my other friend (a Korean dude who didn’t appreciate all this dog shit Orientalism) heaved my electric can opener at him to test his claim that he could stop fast moving objects with his chi.

Dude plays the same idiot manchild character in just about all the films he appears in.

TYPUS TRANSPHOBIUS!

Linux would find a larger audience if developers remembered that not every user is a power user.

I wish more people were willing to give Linux a shot but I also understand that for most of them its a matter of the devil you know versus the one you don’t. They don’t want to learn a new OS when they can just to do their banking and watch TikTok with what they have.
