For what it is worth, I do not blindly follow back. I vet you as carefully as I can. If I see nothing interesting to me, I do nothing. If I see anything that even vaguely runs counter to my personal values, I block. If it looks like you’re a troll (of any persuasion) or scammer, I block.
I’ve reached the age where a sneeze or a hard cough will throw out my back. 🥴

I used to study mosquitoes and the parasites they transmit. Sacrificed hundreds of thousands for the sake of learning their secrets. I think the local population got wind of it and decided I was to be sacrificed to their blood god.

Reasons to play Dieselpunk 1921:
You can shoot imperialists in it
It's good
It's straightforward
There's tons of character options
I didn't use AI to make it
It's free!

I’m starting to agree with the “snowbirds” who live in the nearby towns. Except I want to be a “reverse snowbird”: during the winter, live in southern Wisconsin; during the summer move to Greenland.

Me: “Okay sheep, time to move to the holding area while I work out the temporary fence for getting you to the back pasture. No shenanigans.”
Sheep: “But that pasture right over there has lots of yummy sweet grass!”
Me: “That’s for the week after next.”
Sheep: “We wants it, Precious!”

Gen Con is around the corner. The Old Gods of Appalachia RPG is back in stock on the MCG Shop. We've been sharing exciting news about upcoming changes to the Cypher System every week. Surely we haven't had time to be cooking up anything else.

Surely....

I feel really bad for our sheep right now. Everyone is basically just a floof potato.

Today’s heat has me feeling like digging a series of tunnels and moving underground. 🥵

“Sheep are so cute!” Yeah, until they get out of the pasture and don’t want to come back in. “They flock, so it should be easy to move them all at once.” Unless the grass they want covers five acres, then they scatter like marbles on pavement. Bunch of fleece-covered assholes. #iampooped

Because I have the maturity of a 12 year old boy, I wrote a 5e compatible resource about goblin farts. This 15-page PDF includes random tables, magical effects, adventure hooks, new items, and more. Grab it on my Ko-fi for $4.99.

This little guy is so brave. After a serious hip injury, he’s going in for surgery. He’s relaxed and calm. He’ll come back to us as a tripod because FHO wasn’t an option. He’s going to be our first house cat in 26 years.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I’m pretty clear about what I’ll block, and yet thirst-seekers keep trying.

But global warming isn’t a thing… guess heat domes aren’t either. 🥵

This is my kiddo. Very proud of their development as an artist. Have a look and give them a follow.

Remember what I said about how Twitter is useless for self-promotion even if you have a big following there?

There's data showing BlueSky, even with smaller user numbers, generates way more referrals than Twitter purely because it doesn't suppress links.

Stop saying you need Twitter for promotion.

I’ve heard it said that social media is dead. That sounds like a song lyric.
