I would never presume an invitation to the cookout, but this is what I'm bringing to the potluck: creamed brussel sprouts, with bell peppers, tomato, avocado, chives, and vegetarian chicken patties (don't knock it, they taste just like the real thing).
Creamed brussel sprouts: a stainless steel pot on a white stovetop, with a chrome spoon. Inside the pot are shredded, sauteed brussel sprouts, with yellow, orange, and red bell peppers, avocado, tomato, chives, and chopped vegetarian chicken patties. Don't knock it, they taste just like the real thing.

Printed scales on Tulle for the first time last night! Took a few tries to get it right, but I think it turned out pretty well!
Black textured 3D Printer bed - it's an AnkerMake M5 - with a finished print on it: Dark blue scales laid out in an overlapping pattern. You can see black tulle mesh sticking out the bottom of the scales. Dark Blue speckled scales, draped over a keyboard to illustrate its flexibility.

Update:
Photo of my Switch 2 screen: black background, with the app icons along the bottoms and thumbnails for several games at the top - from right to left: Mariokart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and, FINALLY, Hollow Knight Silksong, mid-download.

"I'm canceling my XBOX Game Pass subscription because I cannot in good conscience contribute to Microsoft's continued support and extreme complicity of Israel's genocide against Palestine."
Cancellation feedback form from Microsoft. A white dialog box with the title, "Feedback to Microsoft," and the question, "Why did you turn off recurring billing?" There are several options, but "Other" is selected, and the text in the "Can you tell us more?" reads "I'm canceling my XBOX Game Pass subscription because I cannot in good conscience contribute to Microsoft's continued support and extreme complicity of Israel's genocide against Palestine." "Submit" and "Cancel" buttons on the bottom.

Hey @bobchipman.bsky.social check out what came in the mail yesterday!
A copy of Bob's new book, sitting face-up on my dark brown wooden coffee table: the front cover is mostly yellow, and designed to look like the Super Mario a Bros. 3 title screen, including pixelated red curtain along the top, black and white checkerboard floor, a green warp pipe, metallic floating blocks, and pastel platforms. The text reads: SMB3 BRICK BY BRICK THE LEVELS THE ENEMIES THE HISTORY THE GREATEST GAME EVER MADE BOB CHIPMAN

Not doing the chain letter thing but I've got a fun one:
A marketplace page called Capillus: Red Light Solutions. The item on display is a black plastic, full-face mask, with curious for the eyes, nose, and mouth. There's a power button about where the right temple would be, and the inside is glowing red. It looks like a high-tech gimp mask. It's called the Capilus Face Mask, with the tag line "Light Your Way to Radiant Skin," a "New Product" sticker, and a $795 price tag. The description text is cut off, but what is visible reads, "Cutting-Edge solution with 210 LEDs designed to..."

It doesn't get much better than a perfectly cooked steak, jalapeño poppers, a cheap bottle of wine, and a fantastic movie.
A blue plate on a tray in the extreme foreground. On the plate are four baked jalapeño halves, covered with cream cheese and smoked cheddar, and wrapped in bacon. Behind the poppers is a steak cut in half - the top has dark grill lines with shrimp and bacon, the interior of the steak is a deep pink, perfect medium rare. Next to the plate on the tray is a wine glass filled to 3/4 with white wine (it's a 2020 Argyle Blanc de Blancs if you're curious). I'm the background is an entertainment center and television, with the BACK TO THE FUTURE title on screen.

Oh holy shit, I hadn't even heard about what happened to Blake, but it's like they couldn't *make* it more obvious:

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/21/b...
"He wants to feel like she can be buried," a publicist working with the studio and Mr. Baldoni wrote in and Aug. 2 message to the crisis management expert, Melissa Nathan. "You know we can bury anyone," Ms. Nathan wrote. In the following weeks, Ms. Nathan, WHOSE CLIENTS HAVE INCLUDED JOHNNY DEPP [emphasis mine] and the rappers Drake and Travis Scott, went hard at the press, pushing to prevent stories about Mr. Baldoni's behavior and reinforce negative ones about Ms. Lively, the text messages show. Jed Wallace, a self-described "hired gun," led a digital strategy that included boosting social media posts that could help their cause. -- excerpt from a NEW YORK TIMES article about the Lively/Baldoni situation

Seated for BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL with @jonathanhliu.bsky.social and @robynliu98.bsky.social!
A photo from my seat of the BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL. Everything is blue neon, with the logo projected onto a doesn't screen obscuring the stage. We've got great seats, dead center on the mezzanine. A photo of my playbill for BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL. It's got a yellow bat at the top, with HULT CENTER in black block letters. Below that, a blue background with the BttFtM logo and a recreation of the film poster with the actors of the musical. The stage is in the background. From left to right: my friends Robin, Jonathan, and myself, posting for a selfie, smiling through our masks. Robin is throwing up a peace sign with her right hand.

Look at this fucking cat
A gray and white cat, laying on our bed, twisting over his back in an upside-down "C" shape, front paws stretched down toward the camera. It's ridiculously cute.

Congratulations @erikaishii.bsky.social, the Ghost of Yotei! It looks incredible and I can't wait to play it!
Screenshot from the GHOST OF YOTEI trailer, depicting an asian woman (portrayed by Erika Ishii) in a yellow, fur-lined robe and tattered straw hat, holding a sword at the ready, with a shamisen (I think?) on her back. She's looking past the camera tentatively, as if unsure of what an opponent is going to do.

I'm not sure if anybody will appreciate this (maybe @nandovmovies.bsky.social?), but what a *harrowing* conquest match. Well played, AchiganMoLe, whoever you are!
The results screen from a Conquest Battle in MARVEL SNAP: The words "BATTLE VICTORY! 8 ROUNDS" at the top of the screen. My banner at the top-middle of the screen, including my username (TheDapperDM) and the avatar & catchphrase for my deck (Sebastian Shaw - Hellfire Gala variant & "My Coffin Has Air-Con," respectively). The word "VS" in the very center, with my opponent's username, deck avatar & catchphrase ("AchiganMoLe/Morbius Base card/"I Dont Have a Title I Like Yet"). My avatar has a crown on it, and my banner has one single point of health remaining, while my opponent's is fully depleted.

I got a new cookbook! The chicken nuggets were my own addition, because I'm a classy bitch.
My new cookbook! It's called ANYTHING'S PASTABLE, by Dan Pashman. Blue background, with white text in front of a fork full of pasta in red sauce. Above the title reads, "81 inventive pasta recipes for saucy people." My first dish from the cookbook: a frying pan containing gnocchi with roasted artichokes and preserved lemon. Next to the pan of pasta is a baking sheet with chicken tenders.

Me (bald white man with a beard), in a very sharp-looking black tuxedo. It's got a scarf-style collar, with shiny black shoes, a dark green vest. black dress shirt, and a black satin tie, tied in an Eldridge knot. My hands are in my pockets, and I'm smiling slightly at the camera. Behind me, a gray and white cat is seated, tail curled around his body, looking at the camera with disdain.

It's so easy! Seriously, it took longer to scrub my screenshot than it did to order the tests.

@disastergirls.bsky.social:
A screenshot from the movie SPEED, depicting Keanu reeves standing at the front of a bus next to Sandra Bullock, who's seated and driving. Both look worried. The caption above the screenshot reads, "Speed (1994) incorrectly credits Jan de Bont as director. Speed did not have a director, because if Speed had any direction it would have been called Velocity."

When you're not very good in school
A hand pointing it's index finger directly at the camera, against a white background. There are words printed over the hand, but they've all been scribbled over in black, except the very first letter: F

Look at this fucking cat
My cat, Raavi - gray back, tail, and head with a white stomach and limbs, lying on his back, forelegs splayed out above his head. He's on our bed, blue flower-print comforter, with several bookshelves and a blue curtain in the background.

Are the dates messed up? I know I've been away for a while, but I feel like you've definitely posted more recently than last November...
