Just realized that Alice's Adventures in Wonderland should definitely have been on that list and Name Of The Wind or Murderbot probably should have bumped off Thistlefoot but... anyways!

Roadside Research is a 1 to 4 player co-op gas station simulator. Except you’re aliens. And undercover. Do very human things like restocking shelves while preparing for the invasion. Just don’t get ca...

Did I enjoy all the puzzles, bits, and callbacks? Absolutely. But the true joy was seeing how much love SAM had for every moment of this episode and every second of his beloved show through the years.

I have never enjoyed an episode of game changer more

How had I never heard of Sherlock & Co. until this weekend? It's so good. Been alternating between the podcast and reading the original Doyle stories.

So actually, it looks like the solution to unfair pay might actually be getting more dragons.

Do you ever get overwhelmed by the amount of books there are to read and how little time there is to read them?

Reading through the Sherlock Holmes canon (and some books that aren't part of the canon). Watson is VERY gay for the consulting detective.

A new murderbot short story came out this month (Rapport)! And we have a new novella(?) coming out in May 2026 (Platform Decay). I really enjoyed Rapport, fit it in as part of my Murderbot re-read. It's focused on Peri and its crew immediately after Artificial Condition.

The way I've seen people talking about alt text, I worry that many of you have never even spoken with a blind person. Let's change that.
Today only, it's Ask a Blind Woman time, where there's no shame in asking your weird, uncomfortable or uninformed questions, so long as they're in good faith.

Making dice trays for my players! My four consistent players will get to pick from a pool of two of each design, and our two guest players for the Halloween one shots will get the last two.

Files purchased from @rnw.bsky.social

3 paper journals with full color covers. One is green with map designs and labelled "the adventurer". The middle is purple with runic letters and celestial designs, labelled "the mystic's tome'. The last is blue, floral, and labelled "the book of nature".

Three paper books are opened up. Cardstock inside pops up to make a hexagonal side tray in the middle of each one, and each book has its own theme: a mystical spellbook with a purple tray with a summoning circle on it, an adventurer's notebook with a compass in the middle, and a plant identification guide.
