Iä! Iä! I'm a giant homosexual 🏳️‍🌈 cisgay queer nerdman, with my head in Arkham & my heart in Lankhmar. Here for TTRPG-heads, geeky queers, and assorted other Internet randos. Sometimes I need an audience. Say hi to your dad for me. 😉

I peered into the void and beheld A BUKKIT.

It is a day for Ancient Memes and keeping the Old Ways.

Got into the office and discovered they're trying to prove the existence of Ceiling Cat again.
An office desk with a couple of computers in a professional office. A large plastic garbage bin can be seen to one side. A curled garden hose leads from the bin to the ceiling. Ceiling tile missing in the ceiling, with a water hose disappear into the unknowable depths.

Preparing to leave the Midwest. Wil and I have had an amazing time, culminating in the discovery of Midleton Extra Rare at the airport bar. Best #GameholeCon yet!

Our 16th (?) anniversary spent at our third #GameholeCon, including the annual pilgrimage to Sol's On The Square (best Korean in Madison). I love this place almost as much as I love my husband. 🥰

A 2% merit increase, in this economy?!

Didn't have that on the bingo card for this week. Just in time for con season!

What a week! Adopted a cat on Sunday, fell deathly ill after a Monday night online D&D session, tested positive for COVID Tuesday morning, and the rest of the week was a blur of paxlovid and No Man's Sky. Just tested negative, in time for today's online D&D game. Whew!

Also: Tank is an awesome cat.

Hey, everybody! Meet Tank! He's a rescue kitty we adopted yesterday. He came with a pile of toys he likes to sleep on. Wil is already his favorite human. Great addition to the family.

My employer hosts a photo day once a year. This was our first year, and the fountain was quite enthusiastic.

Seattle Pride was quite nice this year. Perfect weather and great energy. A++, would gay again.

Glad to see WotC very quietly jumping on the bland, flavorless corporate 2025 allyship bandwagon. I like the dragons, aesthetically, but don't care for the IYKYK wink-and-a-nod message the design is meant to convey. But I'm super "queer as in fuck you" right now. 🤬

A screenshot showing the tshirt and playmat designs for WotC's 2025 Pride merchandise. One design features entwined gold dragons with a d20 in trans colors. The other design features a person holding a paper lantern, maybe, and pressing their head against it? No idea. It's crap. Ultra Pro "pride" merchandise. This consists of their usual inventory of monochromatic collectible trading card boxes and card sleeves. Color! It's Gay!

So the disturbingly moist walls were covered in eyes, which watched and tracked us silently. Big "Jeepers Creepers" vibes. Then we squared off against an 'oculorb' which, when defeated, collapsed into a mass of viscera and popping eyeballs which splashed ick all over our artificer.

Such gross fun!
An oculorb from the 5e D&D adventure "Phandelver and Below". It is a floating irregular orb made from innumerable eyeballs.

Quote post with the Fantastic Four comic that came out the month you were born.

(Apparently I emerged from a cocoon and this is my final form. Sigh.)
Cover of Fantastic Four #67, published in October of 1967. It shows the Four surrounding an alien-looking cocoon with the words "At last you will learn what lives within THE COCOON!" and "Featuring: The Power of...HIM!"

Alt title: "How I Spent My 30s".
Album cover for a rare D&D licensed audio adventure. It reads, "Dungeons & Dragons Long Playing Recording, Quest for the Cursed Bone". The art depicts three fantasy people on a flying carpet approaching a cave entrance where a big green-colored dragon awaits them.

Found an old photo of the place, pre-renovation. Somebody got a glow-up.

Very jealous! I guess we'll have to take a trip to our favorite Arby's (outside Seattle, in North Bend) to see if maybe they've got some lying around.
