The Killing is a weird show: the entire thing is Linden and Holder bumbling through their cases and making life worse for everyone they interact with, but there's no greater point being made about the inadequacies of policing. They're just extremely bad at their jobs.

I have delved headlong into @eviltrout.com's "The Roottrees are Dead", which is A++ good (I am also obliged to point at it like DiCaprio and go "Western PA mentioned!") I was not, however, expecting one of the characters to look exactly like someone I know. Wild coincidence.

I have, in the midst of indescribable horrors, been fiddling away at a Proto-Indo-European conlang. This was a terrible idea, because PIE studies are an absolute trashfire, Wikipedia is just a contradictory mess decades behind the times and so help me if I see another *h₂ I have niche problems.

A new post! In which I continue my Elden Ring ramblings, get a bit silly, and also revel in somehow predicting the Nameless King's inclusion in Nightreign two months in advance as a joke. throneofsalt.blogspot.com/2025/01/posi...

Starting off the year strong with me getting waaaaaaaay far into the linguistics weeds as I attempt to wring coherence from the orthographic nightmare endemic to Lovecraftiana. Also I find an etymology for Nyarlathotep throneofsalt.blogspot.com/2025/01/roma...

A year ago, in the before-times, I started up a Delta Green campaign. It went excellently, and I have finally gotten around to polishing up my notes and play reports for sharing. To start things off, here's the player's guide I gave people when we started. throneofsalt.blogspot.com/2024/11/csc-...

So on Discord I asked if there was a daily prompt list for the upcoming #mothershipmonth. @seanmccoy.bsky.social said "Whoa we should do that. You want to put the prompt list together??" I have compiled the list. Let it never be said that I am not easily swayed to make lists of things.
