Haven’t posted in nearly a year so let’s start HOT and HEAVY and RAW with this art I bought and apple tarts I made yesterday

A print of a painting by Sam Brieck. Two raccoons with big weapons fight off an angry giant goose while other raccoons run away.

Low angle of some apple tarts on a baking tray. Tasted pretty good.

Thank you for this! Never before has a game made me ask “wait, am I stupid” so many times

NEW VIDEO: On the Flyover Culture SEASON FINALE, veteran game designer Cole Wehrle shares invaluable insight on how he makes games.

We then ignore most of that good advice for a head-to-head game design competition. It gets weird.

Love that we firmly decided to end the Krakoa era without thinking about what might come next

I dropped ASM like a sack of bricks after the Kamala stuff. I don't really blame Wells - feels like he's just being handed stuff by editorial and told to make it work.

Would you say the event is worth getting into? I got the MM tie-in since it's in my pull, but otherwise I was just going to wait for the whole thing to blow over lol

Watching Wolverine and the X-Men and this Silver Samurai episode says "honor" so many times I'm shocked it wasn't written by Akira Yoshida

🎃 NEW VIDEO! For this pseudo-Halloween special, we're dressing up suburban Atlanta as rural Indiana and ranking some of the most notorious fake pop culture towns.

This is much more chill than the last episode, so pop it on while you prepare your Hot Lorax costume

Got tickets to one of those AMC mystery screenings on the 6th. Hoping it’s The Marvels! Very strong possibility it’s also some heinous faith-based thing, but hey I’m down to clown

Got my tonsils removed today. Feeling alright, just a bit of pain.

Goals for the week: Finish FF16, catch up on comics, finish my Ben Percy book, and then mainline Spider-Man 2 until I feel human again
