It’s not that I didn’t understand how horrible basic facts of life in the US are. You can’t help but understand that if you’re at all aware. But damn if explaining it to folks who aren’t from there and haven’t spent much time there doesn’t crystallize things.

With PAXU this weekend, I once again come to you with a desperate plea:
Just go to whatever pizza place is nearest to you.
You do not need to go to Cheesesteak Vegas.
You do not need to wait in line outside at Angelos.
Any pizza place will serve you a perfectly serviceable cheesesteak.
I beg you.

I’m used to kids being some of toughest shits you’ll ever run into. Mean, sharp, not to be fucked with in groups. Not scary (well sometimes), but they don’t play around. So when I told three teenagers in a Stockholm theatre “Yo shut the FUCK up” tonight, I was not expecting them to look like this.

How have we not yet gotten a Swedish game called Juleskum? It’s perfect. It’s right there and it’s perfect.

There are days I wake up worried that I’m too much of an art nerd, too hoity-toity in my preferences, for my chosen field. But then I have coffee and remember I’m a New Yorker and no, it is the children who are wrong. Time to keep plugging away at raising the bar.

Landed in Sweden. New apartment is lovely, as is the new neighborhood. However, no logical place to set up my PC. The home planning begins!

I may finally be “ready” to move. Practically. Mentally who knows. Whoever is next to me on the plane is in for a WILD ride.

I’m sorry, Toronto. This is insanely rough. As a Mets fan, you have my sympathy.

You reach a point in packing and repacking where you look at every single object you own with disdain, and multiple times throughout my life this moment has occurred just past the point of realistically setting up a donation. It feels like a damn trap.

Disassembling a PC and packing the parts for travel is really fun because even when you think you’ve done everything right you have NO idea what may have broken until you arrive and set it back up

Note to self: the next time I’m moving for any reason, remember that it is better to ship early and live without things than ship “on time” and encounter issues. I suppose also a note to anyone else considering relocation.

One of the under-discussed problems with adapting TTRPGs into other media that really isn’t shared by anything else is the issue of “how do you adapt something that’s meant to be countless different things for different people into one thing without pissing off more people than you make happy?”

Couldn’t remember if I’d taken my sleep meds so elected not to risk knocking myself out for a full day by accidentally taking them twice. Fun fact: I had indeed not taken them. Now to be awake all night.

"I don’t think there’s a cryptid or monster more sexy or seductive as vampires can be."
Ryan Coogler explains how he settled on vampires as the bad guys for Sinners (and what monsters didn't make the cut):

Going through the archive ahead of moving to Stockholm. How did I acquire all these RPGs. Why. This will cost so much to ship.

Put it on LinkedIn so I may as well put it here. I’m leaving Asmodee but for an awesome reason (still extremely sad, though): I’m moving to Sweden to work on @worldofdarkness.bsky.social!! To all my American friends, I’m sorry I’ll see you less. To my European friends, I’ll see you more!!

Not a secret opinion by any means (in some way it is the core of my persona), but GODdamn we need to work on media literacy of folks in nerd media. For a long time it was purely the signs/signifiers/grammar of media, but I’m getting to the point where I’m convinced folks just don’t watch/read/play.

Something I think doesn’t get talked about enough is how a generation raised on Roblox, where the core value proposition is “whatever you want but it sucks and is slop,” is infinitely prepped for fully procgen slop AI games. That’s what they know, and buyers generally want what they know.
