Sydly... ny.

Good morning!

The voice acting was fine. They hired a professional, and it was appropriately English/cheeky in a way that wasn't far off of Neil Gaiman reading his own stuff. I have Discworld as a whole on my list, but I haven't read any. My library carries only six of the series (all in the range of #28 to #41),...

Perfect!

A Beginning at the End -- Mike Chen Third one this year by Mike Chen. Yet another awesome reading by Emily Woo Zeller. A mutated flu pandemic wipes out three-quarters of the world's population. A decade later, society limps along while 99% of the population suffers from PTSD. Against this backdrop,...

Dammit!

Congrats Kyle!!!

Holy shit, what an epic way to start... just give the basics, here's how you got the hook, now you're at the dungeon... START!

Not quite in media rea, but definitely "start where the action starts."

I love it.

My hero! Let me dig Snowfoot out of the archives and I'll adapt him to this game.

Attach copies of all 1099 forms to your 1040X prior to filing before Zod!

Sweet!

Three spellcasters. A scatterbrained gnome illusionist, a creepy undead healer, and that dork conjurer who's always talking to his invisible friend. And the three of them have made a pact to all get laid before the end of senior year!

Do squat thrusts before Zod!

Not today, Zurg!

Two ideas for me... both posted a long time ago and designed with PF1's hybrid class book. The Widow - Undine Slayer She's an undine (connected to the elemental plane of water) slayer (like a more deadly non-magical ranger). Hailing from the Riverlands, she is fiercely independent and intensely loya...

Vague idea of the setting? Or does that come later?

And I was only joking about a barbarian/actuary. I'll take whatever you got.

Everyone says that, but I have doubts.

Coulda.

Kyle wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 4:41 pm I'm also thinking it will be a modern day setting, with characters who are just normal people.

I can work within those guidelines, but if you ever reconsider your restrictions there, I was thinking of a really cool gnomish barbarian/actuary.

Ill play

Brooklyn 99 (Peacock) Enjoyed this well but starting season 3 now love it. Just so much fun. Tonight I reached season 4 episode "Moo Moo" and realized how much I care for these characters. I wept during most of it. Terry Crews masterclass 100%. The balance between borderline farcical and ...

Dragons at Crumbling Castle -- Terry Pratchett Young Terry Pratchett worked as a journalist for a local newspaper. After a while, he convinced them to publish short stories of his once a week. This book is a collection of those tales. It took about 4 hours for someone to read it to me. And it was D...

Otherworld -- Jason Segal and Kirsten Miller I realized moments before I started reading that the primary author was Jason Segal. Like, from How I met Your Mother and Freaks and Geeks. That guy. Apparently he's a writer. This is a YA adventure novel. Otherworld is a highly immersive virtual reality...

Jackson Pollock could have been an artist if he had learned to shit oils instead of acrylics.

But... there is a horse painted in oils on the inside of the banana peel!

Now it's not only art... it's also avant garde.

Yes. Banger. We know. Just not a song.

Aha! That's actually Lucy and Sally dancing together. The brunette girl to the left of Linus is Violet. Lucy is strangely absent (as is Charlie Brown), but if she were there she would be near Schroeder.

Seriously. Look at this scene... https://giphy.com/gifs/peanuts-charlie-brown-a-christmas-157anh4ffDsSA That's right, you all know the cacophony that plays over this. And sure, they've even got Schroeder in there with his "piano" like he's playing music of some sort, but it's all fake. Tha...

Kyle's not getting the props he deserves for this hot take. Seriously, without words, it's just noise.

It's still your day, you hoopy frood!

Unforgettable...

Yes. Being the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything must have been so dull and awful.

Happy birthday, David. Happy Birthday.

It was read to me. Over the course of six hours.

Thanks, fam!

You son of a bitch. I'm in.

Are you seriously going to call and response me to say, "It's a'thchill!" Stop being offensive.
Nope. You lost me.
Fine. You baited me into it:

Everything is satisfactual!

Are you happy now?

Whoa. Racist much?

Exit West -- Mohsin Hamid I finished the last book and had to immediately start on something new to get that taste out of my mouth. I finished Exit West in a day (only 5 hours), and it absolutely did the trick. I loved this. In an unnamed city in a country beset by Islamic extremists, Nadia and Saa...

The Buried Giant -- Kazuo Ishiguro This is a fantastical post-Arthurian tale set during the Saxon invasion of Briton. I did not like it. I was hooked on the plot and insisted on seeing it through to the end, but it took 10 days to get through this. I just wasn't as motivated as I usually am. It's a...

'Struth!

Point.

FRY'S DOG!

Frickin hippie.

I've seen several art projects for students this year at both the elementary and highschool levels that combine art appreciation with the creation of art--something that didn't happen much at all in my own schooling. I think it's really cool, though. I've been walking past these for a few days now a...

Yeah, but I bet all that nothing gets a lot easier when you're dead.

Interesting...

Just in the nick of time!
