I’m so excited to be disappointed by everyone I see posting videos or pictures at PAX U not masked.
And then complaining about “Con crud.” Do you mean covid, the flu, or a cold? It’s almost like we could avoid that.

This is an act of political violence. Fewer people able to access education like this means fewer nurses, specifically likely means fewer rural nurses and fewer nurses at things like free clinics.
This is political violence against the poor.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin
The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

I’m not very good at impressions… but I will say that I regularly do a Werner Herzog impression that is also not very good.

“Metagaming” as a villainized idea in ttrpgs is so weird to need, because that’s largely the game part of tabletop role playing games.
I genuinely don’t care about it. It’s effectively impossible to avoid and not only that, you shouldn’t avoid it.
Enjoy the game part of the games you play.

We really need to stop pretending that all, or even most, metagaming is bad. Take away your hit points and the numbers on your sheets and you’ll play differently. I can metagame to make sure that a player who’s been quiet or bored has something to do.

Just about every time I watch a Netflix movie, I’m disappointed by how shitty it looks.
There are certainly new movies that look phenomenal, but so many movies are just trying to look like a Netflix movie and look terrible.

I’ve always rated the Rob Zombie Halloween movies as the worst in the franchise and I thought maybe I was too harsh and these movies are better than I remember…
So I’m watching the first one…
I was not wrong rating them as the worst. These movie are actually worse than I remember.

Blue Prince is one of the biggest indie releases of the year… that game rewards you for taking physical notes with a paper and pencil. The puzzle game genre is doing just fine.
old video game puzzles were like, "connect these 37 wires in a way that metaphorically represents the plot of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night" and now they're like "here's four animals, which has wings"

Basically every day on social media I see a post and all I can think is “The male loneliness epidemic isn’t working hard enough. Some men aren’t lonely enough.”
Point of clarification: the male loneliness epidemic doesn’t exist, those men just have shitty opinions about women, so women avoid them.
