The amount of ways I’ve hurt myself with knives is a little embarrassing.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

I think the highlight of my holiday vacation was a 6-kill streak in the snowball PvP in Destiny 2's "Dawning" event. I've NEVER been that good in PvP, ever.

They’re absolutely paid to lie, they’re paid to distribute free shirts and keychains and jackets, and they target low income areas specifically because there’s no other option there. It’s either military or burden your family or yourself with student loan debt because you what, want a career?

Trying to be a bit better about actually selling books, so a reminder that you can buy my stuff as e-book downloads in lots of places, like my @itch.io storefront (which is the easiest to get $$ right to me);

One of my favourite Dragon magazine covers - March 1989's. Always makes me think of Shadowrun's Awakening and what it would have been like for the pilots encountering dragons in the sky for the first time.

Thinking about the industry of people writing/making videos about amusement parks, both open and abandoned, and how I have little interest in that stuff because we weren't an amusement park family. I don't think I ever went to one of these until I was like 16?

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

It's Tolkien's birthday. Two years ago, I wrote a piece on each of Jackson's films. I'm still proud of them.

I wrote about the creature design in Peter Jackson's THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, its animating principles of emotional resonance and clear visual storytelling, and its lasting legacy in fantasy across all subgenres and mediums.

Any politician who signals support for this lawless military action no matter what party or other policy must have their political career compromised to a permanent end. This must be a line in the sand. No jokes available at this moment, please try again later.
