I was reading Avengers in the 80s, with rare dips into X-territory. And I locked in a few favorites that have persisted. Kitty Pryde was formulated to appeal to me. My brain chemistry was formulated to love Cyclops. And Illyana- I had her comforting Kitty after Colossus dumped her, and I had 1/2
Illyana is extremely charming to me but I never cared for the "she's stupid" schtick and I'm very happy that is has been acknowledged to be an act by Magik herself. She deserves the spotlight she's currently getting as one of Chris Claremont's great contributions to the mutant canon.
Magik, since she's clearly in the spotlight.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

What this tells me is I should be getting together every other weekend with friends to balance the books on a McDonald's franchise. We could do it in character or we could just focus on the stats and the random encounters.
When reading this article, consider the median average revenue of a single McDonald's location in 2021 was $3.3 million. There are four RPG companies in the world that bring in meaningfully more money than a single McDonald's. Lots of incredible companies bring in way less than a single McDonald's.

Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

Rick Scott looks like an undead that winds up in the money-grab “Monster Manual Part 4” after they have exhausted every good idea and it’s like “this is a kind of undead created when a Nazis is betrayed by a catamite.” He’s basically a less inspiring Modron

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.
When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.
Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

If you’re a billionaire why are you paying professionals money to make people believe you are good at a videogame? How the fuck did that seem like a good idea? Take a hundred mil and buy the rights to Thief and Deus Ex and make sequels, you can do that, have a fucking dream dumdum create something
