Him wearing that jacket is why the Tigers lost. Thanks a lot, pal. You're a worse Bob than the one from House by the Cemetery.

This is going on longer than a game of Monopoly.

I've GM'ed "epic" Shadowrun games that have taken less time than this.

Yes. I can't remember of it was Weird Al or D. Demento who took over MTV and showed that video, but I remember seeing it when it was "new-ish."

Putting together a ridiculous "generic cyberpunk guy" costume for Youmacon. And with my not-exactly-svelte frame, it's gonna be goddamn ridiculous.

But if anyone asks me who I'm dressed as, I'm just gonna make up some fake anime title.

Turtle Power contains the lyric "this is serious, so give me a quarter," which is just nonsensical these days.

Now you have to sit somebody down and explain payphones to them.

If you message me or send me a friend request on Discord, and do not specify why you're contacting me, I'm just going to assume you're spam and click "Ignore."

Just type a sentence or two. It's easy.

"Hey" gets binned automatically.

He banged his head against the wall, but he still could not think of a story.

No. No. Absolutely not.

This is the time. This is the exact moment when frogs should be silly.

It was the one time when the suits actually *should have looked more fake.*

I was sort of put off by the costumes in the second movie. They were just suits with LED lights built into them. Barely anything added in post-production.

Why?

I dug the original Tron so hard, even when it was lame to enjoy it. I bought the original white box DVD, then went back for the THX remaster. I devoured the special features.

Tron Legacy was okay, but didn't do much for me.

Ares just looks... I mean... Eh.

"Do we have to wear these red hats? People are giving me dirty looks."

"Just wear it backwards, Bobby."

"I tried that! And people just kept asking me if I did it all for the nookie."

From the sounds of things, they're going to start bringing these third-party licenses to D&D, which sounds on-brand for them.

"Wait! Don't play the actual RPG that might work better with that license! Just play it in D&D instead!."

I'm on Skastodon, although lately I don't post there as much as I should.

I hear the guy who runs that server is a real one. Does it for the love of the game.

On Pureflix, they have Goshzilla.

The thing about Mastodon is that it isn't just one community with one vibe. Different servers, even if they federate with each other, will have different atmospheres.

So when I see people calling out Mastodon as a whole, I always wonder what server they started on, and who they interacted with.

This raises an interesting question, though:

Why keep those bot-infested networks up? "The Internet" is literally just a conglomeration of every client and server connected to it. Just turn them off, and no more AI bots.
