Got a few things. First, a bundle of Waterdeep stuff I made in 2025 on @dmsguild.com . Waterdeep is my favorite city in the Forgotten Realms and I love adding my own stuff to it. This bundle has subclasses, adventures, Factions, and 2 pubs.

Chocolate banana is great. I also love Peanut Butter Banana and I'll do that with some protein if it's morning. I also love the usual Vanilla and Chocolate.

Hi, I'm Cori, I write about a single mom braving the snow to fight a ghost. My favorite treat is pizza, and the frozen pizza isle at walmart is why I'm not skinny.
#SFFChat Intro: Introduce yourself and share your favourite treat (can be food or not food!).

RPG enthusiast, Malcolm, has to prove he can step up and play the role of Dad if he wants to win back the heart of single mom, Evan.

ROLL PLAY, the second book in my series of interconnected standalone romantic comedies about gamers, is out now in ebook, paperback, and on KU!

With Spidey's team, not a Marvel Knights but a street team like Daredevil, Luke Cage, Black Cat, Cloak and Dagger. Jessica Jones.

Republicans are misogyists. Full stop.
Republicans are pushing the SAVE Act not to stop voter fraud, but to disenfranchise millions of women & minorities. Since 1992, women have voted blue by 4 to 13 points. Rather than change policy to earn women's votes, they're changing rules to prevent women's votes. That's dictatorship. That's MAGA.

( deep sigh ) jesus fucking christ how long am i going to have to bang on this drum ITS THE CAPITALISM YOU FUCKING GENIUSES. FIGHTING GAMES CANNOT SURVIVE AS A MODEL UNDER THE DEMANDS OF CRUMBLING TRIPLE A GAME INDUSTRY CAPITAL & CONSTANT DEMAND FOR NUMBER GO UP. THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL
The 2XKO situation just reaffirms to me that Fighting Games need to have single player content.

Yeah the Babydoll episode of BTAS is a big example but really a majority of the DCAU was pretty much written in a way that yeah it's a kid's cartoon but you'll have moments that actually don't talk down to the audience/thinks to think about-

This was writing for a superhero cartoon on Cartoon Network in the 2000s and the episode is literally called Patriot Act-

10 years of development and three weeks after launch they laid off half their team. God damn that's grim. I feel so bad to all the developers who put their hearts into this thing.

I know it sounds weird, but I really do think of the X-Men as more than just another comics team.

People who are X-fans have a connection that you just don't always see with other books, it's not just about quality, it's about a feeling they are speaking to you directly.

That's why I love it.

Here is a true thing and it has nothing to do with sales or marketing or my of that noise.

If your blood family sucks, come be with us. I get the privilege of inviting you to be an honorary X-Man and you get to ride in the Blackbird and steal Gambit’s beer and be part of a family that loves you.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from narrating romance books in the past couple years, it’s that romance fans are loyal, particular, and far smarter than anyone thinks. This is going to feel like they’re being condescended to, because it is. I don’t think they’ll take it well! And they shouldn’t!

I do love the final duel not from a player or game perspective, but from a writing viewpoint.
February 8, 2026 at 10:05 PM
Yeah. Especially with the dragons. There are so many fun combinations you can use with them and you only get to see them being used with their duelist partner's iconic cards.

Timeaus fused with Poison Butterfly could've been sick.

This sounds like a Scott Steiner TNA rambling that isn't the Math promo. I want to find whoever wrote this and yell "English!"

Just have Pegasus tied up at II and Mai beat Marik and take his soul.

Loved the duels between Yugi and Raphael. I also like Dartz as a villain, especially the way Wayne Grayson, Joey's VA, voices him.
February 8, 2026 at 9:54 PM
Didn't love Mai having a new VA. Wasn't fan of her arc, especially when they gave a condensed version of that to Rex.

Loved the Weevil and Rex tail kickings.

You're right about Kaiba. I was also sad about Pegasus getting jobbed out. You could've had him in the Solomon Moto role.
