The last few years I celebrated Pride Month by writing parts of a series of very serious textual analyses of Lord of The Rings that ended (so far) with me proving the book is mathematically 67% gay.

Doormat really gets me."
I've seen people say that getting attached to ChatGPT is like "believing the stripper really loves you", but that's not true. It's more like believing that the dryer personally composed that little jingle on a lonely sockless night just to win your affections.

Every now and then I remember I want to listen to more Mountain Goats.
Then I spent the next month listen to Beat The Champ on repeat and forget I planned that because there's so much other good goat stuff.
That's a really good one, see?

Guillermo del Toro's The Hobbit
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Great first season!
I didn't expect needing an X-Men podcast in 2025 but here we are - and I am glad you stay with us for 2026

To answer the Wolverine question:
Hot.
And the hotter, the hairier and sturdier he is depicted. Jackman is a beautiful man but just too tall and... human?

Thinking about how games often use minimal difficulty decisions to give players a feeling of competence

Like in video games, you loot dozens of bad weapons just so you can feel clever for choosing your slightly better sword instead.

Or TTRPGs where you are expected to say 'I equip my shield!'

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum

(also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)

None of this would have happened if they just hadn't cancelled Deadliest Warrior.

It was all so avoidable.

Today we're taking a look at one of the most mysterious and yet highly conspicuous of space marine chapters: The Rainbow Warriors!

More TTRPGs should address if abilities/feats/talents/etc are to be read as something the character physically can do or as recurring plot devises the player can chose to use.

Just because I always want to know.

Story about actual working class superheroes trying to find a way to get ethically payed for their labour while a gang of billionaire playboy amateur vigilantes destroys their market by doing the same stuff but recklessly for free.

More Stargate?

Cool for folks into colonial military adventures I guess.

Folks enthusiastically repost "Murder all pedophiles! Woodchipper, lol!" memes - completely ignoring how outside of the recurring Epstein season the people posting these memes usually mean the innocent neighbours who happen to be queer.

Fucking wazzoks.

So many classic stories of heroism end in brutal last stands against all odds and everybody dies - because why would the story end if our hero still is alive - while in video games you usually end by completely humiliating the last boss, still 100 potions in your backpack, and move on to

nothing.

🙏CHAPTER SERF🙏

I finished it! A Warhammer 40K adventure & TTRPG where you *don't* play Space Marines. Instead you play those little hooded freaks loitering in the background while Space Marines hog the limelight.

Winter is when you start a new Banner Saga playthrough.

Your random reminder that monarchism just is a step further than racism, believing blood relatives of certain families are inherently and factually more deserving and valuable people.

Imagine what's going on inside the heads that benefit from this nonsense.
