No worries, it never would have crossed my mind that he wouldn't be.

I just logged on, discovered this meme format, and this is already the best one.

Would that it were that I ever experienced that problem first-hand, but experiencing it second-hand is still rough.

"Responding to a joke by making essentially the same joke" grinds the hell out of my gears.

There are Frollo *stans*.

(This is a question.)

Typewriter.

I don't know if I did! I'll send you an email in the morning my time.

I spent a good minute laughing about this when I saw it. Magnificent stuff.

I teach board games professionally at a game café here in New York City. Because of what the last game I taught was, I don't think my answers were very interesting, but I have many thoughts on the subject and would be happy to speak to you about it if that's helpful!

When the album got to the "These people all want wealth, I don't want that, I just want you" song, I knew it wasn't working out. Such a lazy trope, and hard to take from anyone worth as much as she is.

Should I avoid listening to this until I've managed to get my hands on a copy and played it?

This guy can draw two creatures in perfect proportion as they rotate across multiple planes AND maintain eye contact, and there are movies where you can tell the physical actor is looking at a tennis ball.

Congratulations, sir.

I think it has to do with an inability to be genuine, but I'm still workshopping the theory.

I like the design of the boxes for that line a ton, but the there's something almost alienating about the actual art.

Yeah, I ain't clicking on that. No way that ends well for my blood pressure.

I like the cover, I think it's fun, but I don't love the cards.

I uttered a respectful and appreciative "Christ."

Andrew Jackson Lynch @whatsforlynch.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, I work on Court St and it's a wonderful change.

Andrew Jackson Lynch @whatsforlynch.bsky.social · 2d

Tremendous covers, guys.

I will never not love the emotional intensity on the lead's face as he sings those lines. He really wants those ribs.

Another way of describing it: The decision space in Captain's Chair is SO broad that it almost loops back around to feeling like there isn't one. I can't understand the ramifications of any single decision if every subsequent decision is also unfolding a massive decision tree all its own.

Andrew Jackson Lynch @whatsforlynch.bsky.social · 2d

No need for an apology at all, a lot of people DO like the feeling I'm describing, or at least something approaching it.
