Not to be a downer but I’m starting to think our folk punk band is never going to take off.
I’m starting to think the dream is dead.
We never practice and it’s not just because you’re all over - I’m not seeing dedication - look how many days I practice and you never show.

Reminder that Tubi is essentially a streaming equivalent to the weird and randomly awesome satellite TV of the 80s and 90s only with less adjusting the dish when it's windy and no weird fuzzy glitches unless your provider is having downtime.
In cartoon news, Tubi just revealed practically the entirety of the classic Warner Bros/Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network library is coming to the platform this March.
For those who don't wanna visit the bird site, here's the full list of what's coming.

Horror movie prompt:
A man with a history of drug abuse and schizophrenia has isolated himself in a haunted house in a southern swamp. He claims he hears people in his attic and dogs surrounding him. He’s taken into a clinic.
Now family have to go to his home in darkest night to collect the dog.

When we’re all locked up in the liberal section of the concentration camp, I hope they at least let me have my stomach meds.
this might sound controversial to some, but i don’t think concentration camps should exist

I’m hearing reports that this may be US only.
Just out of curiosity, would you like every main Discworld novel in digital for like $20 and have the money go to fund Alzheimer’s research?
Me too.

This is so true.
It's why so many old horror novels are "I'm visiting an old friend from university days, I need solititude and to go on long walks through ruins or the moors".
Cue: the suspicious locals, the strange creature in the window/side of road, the nighttime whispers or a beautiful woman.

The only reason authors make the main characters in their books authors is it’s one of few professions where someone can get away with doing fuck all for most of the day, hence available to solve that murder, have a whirlwind romance, or return to their hometown to get caught up in cosmic horror.

I was 46 years old as of today when learned that the dark fantasy films I loved growing up were all made by the same cineatographer.
Alex Thomson quite literally invented the way I think of fantasy in my head for 40 years.

If you're Gen X or elder Millenial and you feel gaming has left you behind, lacking any appeal, being too colorful and ADHD, then I highly recommend playing cozy lo-fi indie horror/exploration games.
They look like something you spent an hour printing a 42kb FAQ for in 1996.

Art pic, but this was my TCG in the 90s. I was mad that Ravenloft and Dark Sun expansions were more expensive because those were my favorite worlds and I was in my early teens and broke.
The image from the Artemis Entreri card from Spellfire: Master the Magic, the #dnd CCG that TSR hastily launched in response to the popularity of Magic The Gathering.
Yea.
No Seriously. Look it up. Nightstalkers edition, card 29/100.
