I've been reading the manga! I enjoy it a lot. "What comes after the typical fantasy story" is a lot more interesting to me than the typical fantasy story itself.

Looking through some lore stuff, I think they're named after the city of Kum-dag where their gangs are formed. Kum-dag is presumably named after real places in Iran named Kum or Qum.

That's a Tinbot. They have programs loaded into them that help defend their user from enemy comms attacks.

As a Halloween one-shot, I ran Hearts & Haunts for my group, a one-page RPG about ghosts scaring interlopers out of their house. errantcanadian.itch.io/hearts-haunts

I'm genuinely fond of this game. How many other games have you march in formation with muskets? A few, but not enough, I say.

In a sane world, email would do the job--emailing a scan of a physical letter, if we really must. But no, sometimes, the only answer the rules allow is fax.

Read this as "Full Wetal Alchemist."

Before the pictures loaded in, this sounded like someone came out as trans and I was ready to go, "Good for them!"

...I do?
The company's lying about what it achieved, and that lie is already being used as an argument for weakening endangered species laws.
"We made big dogs" is a publicity stunt. If the company wants to pretend it's helpful for conservation, then this lie is actively harmful.

But... that's literally what's happening?
The new "dire wolf" is just an existing wolf modified to be big, totally unrelated to any historic dire wolf.
It's not a true "dire wolf" any more than an elephant modified to be hairy is a mammoth, or a chimp modified to be hairless is a human.

This movie has lived rent-free in my head since I saw it a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely fascinating movie.

Now I'm imagining a punch-dagger, but with a wooden stake on the knuckles instead of a knife.

Yes. Constantly. It's my primary source of alienation from nerd spaces, looking around and seeing a bunch of stuff that other people love and having it just... not work for me. Makes me feel like I'm busted.

I found it interesting to watch "Lois & Clark" after "Twin Peaks", and realize how much TP weirdness is actually just how TV shows were in the early 90s.

This is really cute! But now I'm sitting here pondering, "Now why are future archeologists going around resurrecting random people from centuries past?"
Our protagonist seems to have retained her memories; maybe she'll be asked to share information on life in 2025? Implying there are others...

It doesn't help that I tend to be interested in weird stuff; I'd probably have a lot more good options if I wanted to read about Spider-Man, but nope, I'm looking at weirdos like Werewolf By Night, Magik, and Elsa Bloodstone.

Reminded of how many people grouse over the ending of Avatar the Last Airbender.
