While a lot of people might say “bring back the pizza”, the chicken parm is the promo menu item I miss the most. I worked there in 2002 when it was on offer, and I must have eaten a million of ‘em.
Excited for two more weeks of Olympic curling, but things would be even better if I could swing by Mickey D's for a chicken parmesan sandwich (since it's clearly an Olympic-themed menu item...)

I heard someone say that Prisencolinensinainciusol was played during the Olympics opening ceremony, but I can’t find video on YouTube to support. Can anybody corroborate?

I ate loaded tater tots for lunch, ended up eating chicken fingers for dinner, and Pepto for dessert.
Sometimes I wonder if I do this to myself because I like the taste of Pepto, which I do.
Anyway if someone has a good recipe for a Pepto milkshake, DMs are open.

I’m pretty happy with the new MST3K/RiffTrax Kickstarter strategy of not fooling around with stretch goals.
Not only does it feel more transparent than the faux scarcity you often see, it’s also reassuring that they have the discipline to avoid getting in over their skis for the sake of hype.

I played The Networks: Primetime, the updated third edition of @gil.hova.net’s classic as updated and developed by @allplay.bsky.social!
More detailed impressions in the thread, but TL;DR, it’s a thoughtful update to an all-timer of a game that’s a great entry point for new players.

And more pressingly, is this the year I finally drag a group to the nearby bowling center to play Raceway Alley?

When I was active in Vampire: The Eternal Struggle, an official tourney rule was “You must play to win.” Are you dead in the water? You have to see it through and not roll over.
To this day, people in my board game group who are in a bad position let out a heavy sigh and say, “gotta play to win.”

RiffTrax is definitely the Stephen King of movie riffing; brilliant writing, unrelentingly prolific, and stubbornly local. I can also recall at least one scary clown in their body of work.
In the not-too-distant future, RiffTrax is making four new episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000! Support us on Kickstarter: rifftraxmakesmst3k.com #RiffTraxMakesMST3K @mst3kofficial.bsky.social

In case you missed it yesterday, two new games are up for preorder!
Oh hey! New games are up for preorder at www.newmillindustries.com!
The Fluffy Rite is an oddball trick taker in which there are no ranks on the cards - you play two suited cards together to form teddy bears (illustrated by my 16 year old son) and you're aiming to win the second-most tricks.

My wife, for a couple years now, occasionally surprises me with MAD magazine compilations when she comes back from the grocery store.
It’s one of those unique small gestures that tugs at my heartstrings every time. I never expect it, I always appreciate it.

We need a good game culling, and I’ve made a pile of games to go, but for whatever reason the actual “getting rid of them” part feels overwhelming.
Goodwill is a fast option, but a good chance they just languish there. Selling them is a lot of extra work online, and local opportunity is limited.

My cat used to snuggle with me pretty regularly, but she has now discovered the heating vent, and I now understand my role in this relationship.

When the Rennes en Jeux festival told me I would be receiving a 2026 Lizzie Magie Award for my writing, games, and video work, they asked for a short statement, which was read aloud at a festival event.

I have to revise my comments a bit; I’ve tried a couple times this week to get into a match, and it said all current games were full…which I am suspecting is code for “nobody’s online right now.” Not as easy to get into a random match as it was the first night I tried it. (1/2)
How has it taken me this long to play RiffTrax: the Game?
I had always assumed I needed a group, and never put in the effort to find one; but I tried the random matching tonight and liked it. A little hit or miss on the group you get, but a nice option to have.
Now I need to find a proper group.

A goal this year is to seek and watch more MTV air checks.
I stumbled onto one today that had a video I’d never seen, by a band I’d never heard of, which would never have been organically recommended to me by any recommendation algorithm. And in that moment I decided, “yes, more of these please.”

Do you have an online TTRPG group that could use a change of pace? Are you an actual play streamer looking to do something a little different? I’m capturing episodes of my game show for posterity, and would love to record one with you on it!
I did virtual game shows for years, but have surprisingly little evidence of it; including no recorded footage of my 5 main game sets.
I’d like to change that in 2026!
