On a more positive note: progress made on outstanding freelance obs, and I found a triple-threat of goodness for my New Horizons book!

Vague: Remember, when you get called out for shitty behavior, it's very important for you to erase any and all criticism because your skin's so thin that even the mildest pushback must feel like bathing in boiling lye. Being passive-aggressive is far more important than admitting any fault at all!

As we careen madly toward the turning of the year - and definitely the gut, given what's coming - the New Year's Eve Bad Movie Night theme is...

WHY GOD WHY: Totally unnecessary sequels, prequels, adaptations, and other trash.

Just SPECIES or Hellraiser alone could fill the entire night.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Turns out the CEO shooter didn't have a jam. If you don't know your gun history, this pistol is the modern version of the WW2 Welrod, a covert assassination pistol used by the British SOE.

Ivy had a seizure last night and had to have a CT scan to check for damage done to her brain. The good news is that her brain is fine, but she's having trouble getting oxygen to her blood, which caused the seizure.

If we can get this surgery funded, she has a fighting chance. ko-fi.com/talita97409/

On a more pleasant-ish note - annual insurance enrollment is coming up, so I'm available to answer questions about health insurance, decode statements of benefits, and help with the Marketplace.

I don't charge, and I don't collect or sell your info. I'm just here to put what I know to good use.

Regarding today's assassination of the CEO of United Healthcare, I'll say it:

The guy was trash even by the standards of corporate America. A fraudster, a criminal, ruthlessly climbing the ladder to be king turd of shit hill. <cont>

For all'a my new followers - Welcome! I want to, at the very least, entertain you all with my gibbering, blathering, and plain talking about TTRPGs, video games, books...and provide a decent discussion space for the same and more.

Got something cool? Art? A game? Share!

Well, SMILE 2 is off to a hell of a start.

Didn't I mention that I watch a lot of movies?

Having completed my watch of Pantheon last night, I cannot recommend it enough. You'll have to scrape up the second season on YouTube or some other site rather than streaming it all in one place, but it's a great piece of post-cyberpunk storytelling.

So, you know, go watch! It's the Good Stuff.

The new iteration of AusTex Innovation Corridor, circa 2176. In tonight's game, I actually got to use Dystopika to ZOOM IN on the med clinic the characters were survelling.

True facts:
Until post WW2, TB epidemics caused vampire panics in New England. To stop the alleged vampires, their corpses were disinterred, hearts removed, and then consumed in some manner.

Food for the Dead is a hell of a book.

I'm fiddling around with semi-random stuff in Dystopika, a little city creation app for making Blade Runner/cyberpunk style cities. This is five minutes' random clicking and messing with the light brush.

*cough cough*
Please excuse the dust. Being neurospicy, I set this up almost two years ago and promptly forgot about it until the Post-Election Exodus.

So, welcome. Lots of space to sit and hang out. The chairs and couches are comfy, drinks and snacks aplenty. We're gonna talk games, mostly.
