My Stardew character married Emily, and now Clint is sulking and won't talk to him. That dude's an incel.

"That was GG Allin and the Murder Junkies. And up next we've got some Anal Cu-- Oh, hey. There's the station manager, right on cue. He does not look happy, folks!"

I'm going to keep hammering on this point: make stuff. Even if you don't think you're good at it. Even if you never show anyone. Keep making stuff.

I printed out a prototype today for Treats of Fury, my "full-contact trick-or-treating" board game. Playtest tonight or tomorrow, depending on how lazy I feel (and how much I can resist the siren's call of Stardew Valley).

Do you like games about frogs? Then have I got an article for you!

Humanity has invented a virtual Cliff Clavin.

I really need to get my printer up and running again. Board game prototyping kind of sucks without one. Library's already closed today. The two local copy shops are either "too busy" or close their print desk at weird hours.

I think I messed up in Stardew Valley. I'm at 10 hearts with one character, 4-5 with a few others, and like 0-1 with everyone else. Oh, well. It's only my first year.

I removed Threads from my phone, so Meta has gotten desperate. Now they've started emailing me updates that I've "missed."

Why are the TMNT in Call of Duty? Leonardo hates guns, and I'm pretty sure the others do as well.

I bought a deck of PlayStation playing cards, only to realize the suits aren't Clubs, Hearts, Spades and Diamonds. It's X, Circle, Square and Triangle. No, really.

Holy crap. My giant D20 from @oddduckdice.bsky.social just showed up. This thing is massive. Regular D20 shown for scale. I'm not sure whether to roll it for boss attacks, or put it in a sock to discipline unruly players. Odd Duck Dice knows their stuff.

Found out there's two different subreddits dedicated to hating Clint in Stardew Valley, and at least one dedicated to hating Pierre.

What the hell. I spent all that time clearing out my Stardew Valley farm, and now some green rain just filled it back up with brush.

There's nothing in the Pulp Fiction briefcase. It's that that it glows when you open it. So anything you put in that thing is gonna look amazing. That's why everybody wanted it.

I got the rules for my trick-or-treating board game typed out again. Doing a bit of a revision on them, and I'm going to need to do more playtests. But I think it's 90 percent ready. Just needs a bit of tweaking. Then I need make the board and the instructions prettier.

Getting two of my tires done today, plus an alignment. I hate when I have to spend my day off being responsible.

I'm less than two weeks into Stardew Valley. So far I've killed slimes, sold parsnips, and visited an egg festival. But I think I know what the endgame is: I upgrade my sword to max, and then plunge it into Haley's cold, dark heart.

Still waiting for my MCU reveal as the Bad Pun-isher. The bad guys can either listen to my jokes or get shot by Frank Castle. So far every one of them have chosen the bullet.

If I had to deal with the Riddler, I'd just throw some random bullshit with no answer after him. "I'm neither soup nor a city, but if you multiply me by three, you get a house. What am I?" There. That ought to keep him busy for a while. Now Gotham is safe.

I liked the new Captain America flick, but didn't love it. Anthony Mackie is great as Sam / Cap. But the movie definitely had "MCU disease." It has to balance telling its own story, and being connective tissue for other Marvel films. Also, it could have benefitted from this bitchin' monster truck.

I had a video game song stuck in my head for days, but I couldn't figure out where it was from. Pac-Land? Dig Dug? Joust? Turns out it's Bomberman. Earworms are terrible when there are no lyrics to look up.

My cat will often decide to lay on my shoulder, with no regard to the fact that I'm working. And you can't move a cat. Those are the rules. So I pretty much have to work around her.

"No but Vince is gone. The WWE is different." I didn't buy that line then, and I'm definitely not buying it now.

There should be snow days for adults, damn it.
