12th century emakimono librarian: “Be kind, rewind!”

My face when my Pendragon (session zero) players tell me “These rules look very good! The RuneQuest rules from last year were shit, though! Why didn’t Chaosium use those rules for RuneQuest? What’s the story there?”

And in other eBay news, I may have gotten some old 1985 item at, like, a quarter of the usual “collector’s market” price. Not sure if the item isn’t quite what I thought, or if nobody was paying attention (it was a pretty short auction). We’ll see when it arrives!

I don’t get the practice of “sniping” items on eBay at the end of an auction? I just put my maximum bid from the start and don’t think about it anymore. If I wasn’t willing to pay more than that 2 weeks ago, I’m not gonna be either 2 minutes before the end.

When the good fluffy boy wants me to enter the Black Lodge…

I’m a few days late but I finally got around to do it this year! The younger kid helped, too.

Firefly and Serenity were good. Buffy was good. I don’t need reboots or sequels or whatever. What I’d rather have are original and diverse new premises and stories. In the meantime, I’ll be watching old stuff I missed.

When someone points at problems with the excesses of late-stage capitalism, there’s always some dumbass who replies “well what do you want then? make everything free?!” and half the time it’s somebody you thought was actually educated 😬

I should be more like Conan when I read articles about regurgitative AI and other stupid new tech trends.

Would you care for some more chocolate?
