Bally Astrocade. Although in addition to starting me down the dark path of being a gamer, it’s why I’m a programmer- with its number pad based typing system and its saving to a tape cassette…
A Bally Astrocade “Computer Edition” showing a “number pad” style keyboard with a template inserted to prompt the user for the keypresses needed for letters numbers and words. The monitor shows a program being run that prints out a few lines of text.

For clarification, are these the correct weens?
Two dachshunds - technically - sharing a clamshell bed. The one in the front is a miniature dachshund in a blue collar who seems very content. The one in the back is a standard dachshund who is not amused by this at all.

@mattle.wtf - and now the hair lurks eternal.
A costume wig sits on top of a camera. The lens of the camera is not covered, and is situated between two braided segments of hair. It vaguely looks like a robot trying to look human.

Witness the self-inflicted horror that is my Highlander wig. I thought Braveheart briefly but the blue paint, bad skin, and glasses seemed like the worst idea.

Having a Spooky Month for my Thursday stream - but so happy that in November I can come back with the card version of #mythicgme by @tanapigeonwmg.bsky.social! Yes, rolling dice is awesome but when I’m streaming there’s already so much on-screen to track… having the GME on the side will be great!
A variety of cards from the Mythic Game Master Emulator deck. “Yes” and “No” are printed in large letters on each card, but smaller text shows ideas for actions, people, and things, as well as what can happen in the scene or if the scene will be changed in any way.

“Grocery Bags at Freddy’s” did not capture the terror of the original.
A cold items reusable grocery band with a half gallon of milk visible. A stuffed Freddy Fazbear is peeking out through the bag’s handles.

#dachshund time
A black and tan dachshund sitting in a blanket “nest”. He is facing to the right side of the picture, and doesn’t seem particularly interested in being photographed.

Not a controversial opinion, no matter what DC's editor in chief thinks. Journey Into Mystery issue 630, Oct 2011 (part of the Fear Itself storyline which was basically an entire storyline of "Nazis are bad, their only power is causing fear, and we need to stand against that.")
The Asgardian character, Volstagg the Vast, is telling a story to his children. Volstagg asks, "What do we say about Nazis, children?" Five children shout back, "Death to Nazis!" Volstagg responds, "That's right."

After. Also, I appear to be Legion; the "contributors" went from 21. That would be "contributions" or "copies bought", not "contributors."

Anyway, itch.io/s/160017/the... by @cannibalhalfling.bsky.social is still awesome.
The shop page for the game "The Cog That Remains" again. It says that it has raised $105.44 of a $219.71 goal.

more like "changed my mind i'm buying one copy for $30 instead of doing individual gifts and the people can just share it around"

@wjmacguffin.bsky.social and @keithgarrett.bsky.social, I love you. #paranoiarpg
A section from the 2023 Paranoia rulebook regarding the game's currency (since Alpha Complex is a Utopia, nobody needs money, they can just use social currency - "Thank yous" aka XP Points - which completely coincidentally can be used as fiat currency. "A citizen with several thousand thankyous is likely trustworthy, whereas one with few XP Points is probably a traitorous bastard worthy of only scorn, derision and mild-to-moderate waterboarding. In other words, the rich can be trusted but the poor are always suspect. Great to see relaxing games that have nothing in common with the real world!"

Paranoia core rulebook by @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social - 2023. Why I backed this project's Kickstarter. A good thing to read two years later. "You can mock anything about society or politics except gender, sexual preference, race, or ethnicity; that bullshit isn't allowed."
A clip from the Core Rulebook of the game "Paranoia"; it reads: Paranoia has always been heavy on satire (not parody, there is a big difference). It mocks government, religion, business, capitalism, communism and a whole lot more. It can also get more specific in satire, such as mocking bro culture, anti-vaxxers and egghead intellectuals. Some people might find a sacred cow or two being satirised and get upset. However, Paranoia’s setting does not deal with gender, sexual preference, race or ethnicity. None of that matters to the game’s setting, so they should never appear at the table/screen.

Never forget.
The cover to a comic book, "Anita Blake: The Laughing Corpse," a spin-off of a book series by Laurell K Hamilton. It is not a Marvel property. The main character - who, in the story, is a normal human being with some necromancy training - is battling Wolverine and both appear to be trying to kill each other. In the top left corner, boxes say "Variant Edition", "Mature Content", and then in VERY small letters (which has been zoomed in on in a second box) "Wolverine does not appear in this issue."

I've given up on heroics; it's time to be sensible and rational in Paranoia by @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social. I'll be relying on the #MythicGME by @tanapigeonwmg.bsky.social to run a #solorpg experience. And these "Random Computer Emotion" cards! Join me at youtube.com/live/k2SRNXu...
A series of playing cards representing the emotions of The Computer, benevolent overlord of the role playing game PARANOIA. There are sixteen in total, with emojis in a retro-style computer monitor - Angry, Chill, Happy, Neutral, Upset, Terrified, Confused, Thoughtful, In Pain, Feeling Silly, Sleepy, Suspicious, Concerned, Annoyed, Tranquil, and In Love, which will be used along with the "Computer Die" to see how the Computer is feeling when they communicate with the character.

For tomorrow's #solorpg it's Armada by ianthedad.itch.io, inspired by Transformers in 2002 (itself inspired by the Pokemon craze.) This will actually be my character sheet! Join me, Thursday at 6:30pm Pacific on youtube.com/@screamingwyvern or twitch.tv/screamingwyvern!

So, I follow you, which means that you're awesome; if you disagree that you are awesome, you are being mean to me. I don't know your struggles, so I can't promise it gets better, but it will change, and that can give you a new handhold to reach for. And this is Coal (front) and Chester (back.)
Two dogs are standing on a deck, with a grill behind them. An orange extension cord seems to be separating the deck into the Pomeranian's half (his name is Chester) and the Dachshund's half (his name is Coal.) Chester seems to be done with being outside and is looking back towards the house; Coal seems to be looking for something to bork at.

Well, I thought I had plans today and then I sat down next to a dachshund.
A very sleepy dachshund lies next to a man’s leg. The dog’s nose is almost under the man’s leg.

A man wears a black denim vest. At the top, in green text, is a patch with the phrase "DUNGEON JUDGE" - a game master for the game XCrawl Classics. Under that, a patch with text in Trans Flag colors, has his handle, "SCREAMINGWYVERN", and a third patch underneath is a gorgeous wyvern. A man is wearing a black denim vest. On the top above a pocket is a patch saying "ALLY" in trans colors; at the bottom, another patch with a 20 sided die. The XCC RPG logo with a sword underneath can be seen over the other pocket. A man is wearing a black denim jacket. The largest visible patch is the image of Gandalf before the doors of Moira, with the elven runes for "Speak Friend and Enter" in a rainbow. To the left is a patch with a full set of TTRPG dice, and the back has three patches - "Dungeon Judge", "ScreamingWyvern", and a large image of a wyvern.

My little Mister Coal Butler has many sleeping decisions designed to make people smile. I hope it helps some.
Coal Butler, a mini dachshund, is lying upside-down in a "clamshell" type dog bed. He has positioned himself in a way that the top of the bed is over his face like the Emperor character from Star Wars, which is pulling his snoot back and showing teefies.

Be careful with this line of thought, sir. J Michael Straczynski had Superman realize a man was in danger of a heart attack for his "Grounded" series in 2011, and people went pretty rabid about that. (The answer is yes, tho.)
Superman is standing in front of an elderly man. He's telling the man, "Your heart is beating erratically. I think you need to see someone about it. Sooner would be better than later. Considerably." As Superman leaves, the man calls to a person names Jeanne to get the phone number for his doctor.

I think the TV show "resident alien" perfectly sums up your situation, and I'm sorry.
An alien, dressed in a doctor's jacket with a stethoscope around his neck, is stating that "this is some bullshit."

Got a tribute to my old friend today.
Two images, side by side; they are postcards saying "Pets leave paw prints on our hearts." The left image is a paw print, the right image in a nose print. They both belong to my sweet old dachshund-australian shepherd mix, Tyrion.
