My ★★★★★ review of Starship Troopers on Letterboxd boxd.it/9r0Eal My wife and I watch this every year on Tax Day, but we were a day late, which is very appropriate. #Letterboxd #film #TaxDay #EEAAO

Played Two Rooms and a Boom 4 times today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/13... Was invited to play this and was very excited to find out Sean McCoy of Mothership fame codesigned it. Did not disappoint, the many roles let it work as a modular social deduction game.

@obojima.bsky.social got ads for this on YouTube and looks amazing, but I don't play 5e, do you have any other systems you would recommend?

@elizhargrave.bsky.social Just picked up Wingspan this weekend, will you be at Awesomecon? I'd love to get the rulebook signed

Walter Benjamin writing about fascism in 1936 "Fascism attempts to organize the newly proletarianized masses without affecting the property structure which the masses strive to eliminate. Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves."

@possibleworlds.bsky.social do you have a Discord server or a server for BFB? I'm trying to create a hack for Mothership location generation and would love to get feedback from people.

I love how every cozy animalfolk piece of media uses the example of stealing pies from a window as an example of vibes

Heard on the subway "the French invented cinema, but America perfected it"

Why doesn't the airport have more IHOPs? It seems like a match made in heaven

Played Welcome To... today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/23... #NoVaBGG #boardgames #BGG

Well hell yeah

My ★★★★ review of Starship Troopers on Letterboxd boxd.it/2a7k What really gets me about this movie is that it doesn't quite let the audience in on the joke. There's no winks to the camera and so it doesn't let you feel like you're so smart for recognizing the satire. #Mothership #rpg-research

Oh, no way. It's International GM's Day! I totally forgot! So, from this GM to all you other GMs, happy International GM's Day! #TTRPG

Dumping links to some Letterboxd reviews from the weekend. Watched Lynch's Dune and the original animated Watership Down. Wasn't until after that I realized both were controversial adaptions of much beloved novels. #Letterboxd #filmreviews

There should be a tribute to David Lynch, where they just show 60 seconds of a static shot of a steam filled underground corridor, with a flickering fluorescent light backed with ominous washing and a distant scream

Played Castle Combo today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/41... Unfinished because the library closed, but it left me wanting more. Love when a few turns into a game I feel like I understand enough that my decisions feel impactful and meaningful. #boardgames #BGG #NoVaBGG

Played Finspan today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/43... Feels more resonant than Wingspan, while stripping away some of the complexity. Really enjoyed using the app walkthrough to learn #boardgames #BGG #NoVaBGG

LFG this was one of the most entertaining, provocative, and thoughtful films I've seen in years

My ★★ review of Captain America: Brave New World on Letterboxd boxd.it/8WfTej Saw this on Sunday and the movie was so meh, I forgot to post. #Letterboxd #film #MCU #BraveNewWorld

My ★★★★ review of Kiki's Delivery Service on Letterboxd boxd.it/8XonuV Really needed something to cry to and Hereditary didn't seem like the right pick tonight. I actually wrote a decent bit for this one, lmk what you think. #Letterboxd #anime #film #StudioGhibli

Playing the original Red Dead Redemption and it's been fun, but I'm starting to feel beaten down by the amorality and violence

My ★★½ review of Predator on Letterboxd boxd.it/8PGPXl Part of my film research for #Mothership #Letterboxd #MothershipRPG #Mothershop1e #ttrpg #sci-fi

My ★★★★ review of Arrival on Letterboxd boxd.it/8QIWCx Part of my film research for #Mothership #Letterboxd #MothershipRPG #Mothershop1e #ttrpg #sci-fi

“All the world will be your enemy, Prince of a Thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you: digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.”

saw @themountaingoats.bsky.social on here and i just finished Moral Orel for the first time, so i guess i need to become a superfan now

Mr Rogers and Sesame Street taught me love, kindness, compassion, and empathy. Star Trek taught me to dream of and aspire to help create a better and more diverse world. Star Wars and Tolkien taught me to fight for freedom, even in the face of overwhelming odds and great evil.

The struggle of having a new comfy TV show to watch whenever or trying to watch a 10 season behemoth you've had on the backlog for forever...oh wait Max has #AdventureTime
