I like games, theater, and generally silly things. Mostly known for my love of cheese curds and time spent in the bathroom. Gm_Jordan on Tiktok 2025 is the year of “More yum, less yuck.”

“Hey Jordan, did you read that blog?”

Probably not. Very likely not.

For sure! I should clarify, there’s nothing wrong with making manufactured pop music. I don’t like pretending that it’s deep or lyrically compelling though.

Hey! Want to follow me on Letterboxd?

I’m bad about actually writing reviews, but I’m better at logging movies now.

“The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” at 23.

Elliott Smith died at 34.

Tupac died at 25.

The Beatles broke up while they were in their 20s.

Taylor Swift is 35 and has never put out music as good as any of them. And somehow she’s a billionaire for it.

Your mileage may vary! I know a lot of folks who have been very successful! Don’t avoid it just because some dumb dumb (me) had a bad time.

Jordan @gm-jordan.bsky.social · 1d

I think it’s weird that people are so weird about their favorite things.

You can hate my favorite movie/games/books/whatever.

That’s fine, because I’m an adult. You can criticize them all you want to. You can trash talk them!

Someone criticizing the things you like is not a criticism of you.

Rage bait, but the variant of that where we all collectively rage at someone else, at the other, is so much more insidious. And that is really popular.

Jordan @gm-jordan.bsky.social · 1d

That’s fair! I guess I mean doing things only for engagement. When you get to talk about something you love and that turns into engagement, that’s pretty much ideal.

I’m at the point in my board gaming life that for the most part, a box full of plastic minis isn’t that exciting. Cool wooden bits? Way more appealing to me. Nice card art? Way more appealing.

Let me save some shelf space please.

My September TTRPG Crowdfunding Retrospective is here!

But since last month was a pretty standard month for the campaigns themselves, I want to highlight the Kickstarter strike that's currently happening! Yes, it's hot union summer, fall, and forever

If you're not already aware, the Kickstarter workers' union is currently on strike but have not called for a boycott of the site. To find...

Doing things for engagement is so depressing.

Jordan @gm-jordan.bsky.social · 1d

I used to do the dunking on people thing and man it’s depressing to do. It’s depressing to be an asshole to strangers for internet clout.

Jordan @gm-jordan.bsky.social · 1d

Oh yeah. A lot of really rude comments though from people who pretend to know what they’re talking about.

The ttrpg community on Bluesky is truly SO MUCH BETTER than the ttrpg community on TikTok.

It’s wild.

You just don’t want to admit that you have biases against the South which has the largest amount of BIPOC people in the country.

Jordan @gm-jordan.bsky.social · 2d

New Orleans is categorically the south. Disney World is in Orlando. What the fuck are you talking about?

Jordan @gm-jordan.bsky.social · 2d

People love to talk shit about the South and gleefully plan a trip to Disney World or the Outer Banks or New Orleans.

My new movie for judging if I have similar taste to another horror fan is “Did they like Bring Her Back?” If they didn’t, I know our taste is different.

There’s nothing wrong with having different taste, but I know our taste is different. I loved that movie and it seems like some folks didn’t.

I get why people want to leave and if you’re unsafe here, I don’t blame anyone who leaves, keep yourself and your family safe… but no one is going to chase me out of the south.

Get fucked. I like it here, the food is better, and I’m pretty close to the beach.

You’re a monster

Jordan @gm-jordan.bsky.social · 4d

I get it. I know why. I get that this is a me problem. I don’t blame anyone for doing it, it’s just personally irksome to me.

That’s all

Jordan @gm-jordan.bsky.social · 4d

Look I get why people do it, and I’m not telling you to stop… but every time someone puts together a list of “Games that aren’t D&D,” I personally die a little inside.

You’re still centering the hobby on one game when you do that. Please just say games.

D&D is literally just one of many games.
