"The History of Classic Doctor Who", as I remember, is 10% "and then Radio Times printed spoilers."

I specifically asked for a copy of the scan to use as evidence for when people inevitably had doubts I didn't just have an empty skull. For instance, "Me."

After clearly scalding my hand I proceeded to act exactly the way you’re told to when you give yourself a burn: ignore it completely, prioritize finishing the meal, only worry about self-care when you’ve put the leftovers away and cleaned up.

… no, I’m a genx man, actually…

Of course, there’s other ways to ruin yourself cooking. I made pot roast. Took meat and veggies out of the pan, put the liquid into a device for separating the fat.

I overfilled said separator and extremely hot liquid poured over my right hand. Fortunately I just ended up with one blistered finger.

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…

Any person who says they have never known a trans person, is a person who has never been trusted by a trans person.

Black Snowball is both an incredible name and one which makes me - an old white guy - deeply uncomfortable. Stupid emo tendencies.

Excalibur was probably the first series I ever started buying for myself. Alan Davis has always been one of my top 10 artists, partially for that reason.

Two ways of looking at it.

"There are a limited number of story ideas." As you write it, it'll become your own.

or

Writing Alpha Centauri fanfic is still writing, which will give you ideas for later.

Do it.

I’m sorry, you’re involved in TTRPGs. TTRPGs are 10% puns and 5% Monty Python quotes. How do you survive if you’re wounded by punnery?

Also, Autocorrect wanted to replace “Punnery” with “Puberty”.

That may be because if you look at the current world, "the place where all your negative feelings fester plus there's giant black bugs" is pretty much 1:1.

My computer died last night. BIOS decided that loading wasn't something it wanted to do.

My wonderful wife asked, "Will you still be able to stream?" She keeps me in check, and focused, and I love her.

But man was I glad to say, "Yeah, I already decided to take a break..."

I've been doing RPG streams for over a year. I've taken a step back this month because (I got sick) I wanted to analyze why I stream, and what my goals are. I know I need to make this actionable by publicizing my planning, but I've been beating myself up over how and where.

So. Thanks for this.

Soup is always helpful.

Mind you, I don't know your taste preferences but in my opinion nothing beats a nice potato-filled stew with a thick gravy-style broth for what ails you. (Especially if said broth contains, say, ales for the smell.)

And fluffy bread with a crunchy crust.

@michaelastackpole.bsky.social - at 45:00 you are called out as a hero. Congratulations!

I had him co-autograph a book with you a while back, because I wanted him to get to feel just as special.

Yeah, this feels like the kind of “rational leadership” that would use Grok, dunnit.

On the plus side, Donald Duck with an advanced modern AI running him will still never heal you.

This will give me a chance to redefine what I want to do. I love #solorpgs. I love propping up indie RPG developers. I should probably be working more on standalone videos, and let the streams be followups to those.

What I most want to do is lure people to play XCrawl Classics with me, of course...
