Not who I was yesterday, not who I’ll be tomorrow. Most communication should be ephemeral. I occasionally delete my social media content; it’s not you, it’s me.

Here is why Skyrim is weird.
Your character knows nothing about the world they live in, and makes all of their decisions based on what random strangers tell them.
And loot.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go pull the wings off of butterflies for no particular reason.

Every choice is between a terrible choice that makes you feel shitty or a worse choice that makes you feel shitty with kernels in it.

Connie Willis wrote one of my favorite books for the holiday season, Doomsday Book. It’s about a whole lot of things, including time travel, but for me it’s mostly about hope, kindness, and doing your best even when it’s hard.

Cherie Priest’s books are great. Highly recommend Maplecroft for fans of Lovecraftian horror (sans bigotry). The Clockwork Century books are a lot of fun, steampunk in 19th century America. The Eden Moore series is Southern Gothic fantasy. All enjoyable reading.

Easily one of my favorite stories of the year. Beautiful writing that is even better on a second reading.
Hey if you’re reading for #Nebula (and other) nominations this year, check out my secret twist-y summertime gothic novelette, When He Calls Your Name, at @uncannymagazine.bsky.social and consider it maybe!

Oh yeah, I decided I’m not doing a bunch of comic strips right now but I did do this one that I was trying to hit Bloom County vibes with.

I’m really not keen on the combination of gated gameplay (tickets) with non-customizable decks.
New Grand Arena mode will run 12/5 - 12/12 and have NO CUSTOM DECKS.
I’m looking forward to this one (even I think Wade Wilson is a dud).

Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it: and Scrooge’s name was good upon ’Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was dead.

A nice thing about preorders is forgetting all about them and then getting nice little surprises later. This was today’s treat, it looks fantastic.

There’s a Black Friday deal in the web shop with three Series 3 packs and some boosters for $5.
If you’re Series 3 complete, each pack gives you 650 Collector’s Tokens, plus some other goodies.
I ended up with 1975 tokens, 200 credits, and some boosters. Pretty good value for $5.

Prowler is the final reward for the Lee Chiola album that launched today.
If you’re planning on buying the album cards, you’ll save 5-6k Collector’s Tokens by skipping the base Prowler card in the shop.

Word of warning! Purchasing track levels will automatically give you all of your earned but unclaimed rewards, including scrolls. So you might miss out on the free scroll refreshes if you buy track levels.
Increasing levels does decrease the cost of reaching the end of the track.

So this is interesting, and I don’t recall seeing it in an LTGM before. You can purchase the bonus track for 800 gold, which automatically levels you up enough to get the new card, Hydro-Man. But you can also just straight up buy your way to the end of the track.
