In her natural habitat.

A mature and responsible adult. And not the same person who did this several months ago.
A Star Wars ship in the shape of a penis. It has a millennium falcon style cockpit on the ball. And the tip of the penis is outfitted with the engines.

Played a session of Star Wars tonight and we got to design our own podracers!
A top down drawing of a podracer. The cockpit has the silhouette of a beer bottle and the engines are clearly two Pepsi cans. Top down, side, and front view drawings of a podracer. It’s got a sleek, almost aquatic look. The engines look like a sleek kind of. And the cockpit looks like a teardrop shaped body of a plane. Side view drawing of a podracer. There are no engines tied to it at the front, instead the engines are at the back. Also, it’s a penis.

I was really surprised at how much more appetizing Gagh seems when put in a taco shell

This lock screen background has survived almost 3 years I think!

I really like this painting from the cover of Tolkien’s The Children of Hurin.
A phone Lock Screen background with a man wearing a black cape over black Chainmail. He holds a sword in front of him with the tip on the ground. He has a golden helmet with a drake forged on the top. He is standing on top of a rock, and the background shows some misty hills. The colors are all very muted and a desaturated brown.

These things activate a particular neuron for me every time they appear in a game.
A close up of Jay Dragon’s image above. It showes a magic circle with layered rings. The rings are divided into sections like domains of magic or something. Unlike the other components on the table, this isn’t made of paper like a prototype. It looks kinda plasticy.

Without downloading new pics, where are you mentally
A screenshot from Star Trek (DS9 I think) of a man sitting in meditation. There are candles in the foreground, and the lighting is dark and almost romantic. It’s meant to be relaxing I guess. The captions at the bottom of the screenshot show the man saying “Computer, more birds.”

Still a long road ahead, but I’m feeling a little bit like I’ve made it today.

Next big milestone is 250 and I intend to hit that before January.

A panel from The Dark Knight Returns comic. Batman is snapping a Ricky in half with his bare hands. “THIS IS THE WEAPON OF THE ENEMY, WE DO NOT NEED IT. WE WILL NOT USE IT.” Says Batman.

I’m going to see Hans Zimmer live tonight!
Hans Zimmer at a piano, leaning back with his eyes closed. The lighting implies this photo was taking during a concert.

Hangzhou has many amazing buildings. But I just found out this one is the Hangzhou E-Sports Center, which makes it extra cool.
The hangzhou esports center seen from the side. It has a grey metal exterior and looks like a cross between a clam shell and a UFO. It’s surrounded by green park space . The hangzhou esports center seen from a drone. It has a grey metal exterior and is shaped like a rounded triangle. From this angle it reminds me of a fidget spinner.

You could pull off this look 100%
Alex Louise Armstrong from Full Metal Alchemist. A bald head with a single curled strand of hair on his forehead. He has a great big curled blonde mustache and a clean shaven chin and jaw. He’s wearing eyeliner that accentuates his piercing blue eye. His jawline is strong.

300 views on my Star Trek Adventures video!

In the next video, should I cover Starship Combat or demonstrate how my campaigns are organized with Obsidian MD?

My cat doesn’t like Chinese New Year very much.
A white cat wearing a Chinese lion dance hat. The cat hates it and has a scowl on its face. The cat is being held by someone whose face is off camera.

An Intrepid Class starship from Star Trek flies across the image. Beside it, the text “Boldly Go Further” There is a smaller image of the Shackleton Expanse sourcebook for the Star Trek Adventures RPG.
