Hand Of Fate: Ordeals last night! It's been almost 8 years since we played last... Wowee. I remembered my take last time too: fun and thematic, enjoyed it; not particularly balanced or fair. Runaway points, still fun!

Being a nerd who tries to network for activity buddies in a small-medium community who doesn't play MTG is like trying to make new friends while not drinking.
I have met like 10 but only 1 or 2 actually want to play a real boardgame.

It's so telling that you can command your corpo provided algorithms to stop showing you certain topics for videos or articles, but you can't tell it to stop showing you content about what to buy, what's popular right now, or upcoming items that are releasing.
And that's like 90% of everything.

WORM cuts to the heart of the dungeoneering experience. There's no rules for sailing ships (but some folks have made fine ones!) or crafting magic items. There's a City, and underneath it, a DUNGEON. The game gets you right into the action of delving. It's obsessed with that singular goal.

Dear Lord my men and womenz and others... 5 mins on this app, Diet Twitter, and I already feel like my mood is worsened, my world view is darker, my impression of the way things are currently is about 7x worse.
I was just having a normal day before JFC no wonder everyone is mentally ill.

This dichotomy comes up often but rarely discussed: market incentives for size. Smaller, & you have Portals opinion. You gotta keep swimming.

Straight up forgot I wrote this in 2025, but I think it’s my favorite piece. Also it’s fun to say “the business idiot”
Newsletter: We are in the era of the Business Idiot, where middle management has seized power, breeding out true meritocracy and value-creation in favor of symbolic growth and superficial intelligence. This piece ties together everything I've ever written.

I've seen Wicked 2: Witchy Bugaloo and my take is that this adaptation of a musical seems like it was made by someone that thinks musicals are corny and boring.
The message and theme was totally twisted and confusing, bordering on non-existence from over-editing. (Typical of modern corpo art)
