@dimeurz Because they canonically sleep together (Captain America #1, 1941)

@hemingquay You have not experienced "Hillbilly Elegy" until you have read it in the original Cantonese.

The figure we know as "JD Vance" was likely a historic person only in the sense that King Arthur was. A political leader by that name probably lived in the early third millennium, but the figure that's come down to us in the sources is likely an amalgamation of traditions, beliefs, aspirations, and real individuals who were used to express the ideals of the right wing community.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for my health. May God bless you and the Virgin protect you. Thank you.

@WorstGirlEva In a similar vein: FF8 goes out of its way to discourage grinding, as all enemies scale with your level and bosses give no XP. There's even an optional boss that will instakill any max-level characters as soon as combat starts.

video games need to start punishing players for not spending resources. late game boss that is impossible to defeat if you have too many elixirs and such

@urban_comp @sfballet With that shirt for this event, velvet is the only real option.

Tonight: Nutcracker at @sfballet and wearing a Ben Cobb black one button peak lapel suit, Hume London navy blue voile shirt, and…either black single monks or velvet slippers, haven’t decided yet

@BrophyLevey "Fifty Works of English Literature We Could Do Without" is absolutely hilarious and criminally under-read.

Brigid Brophy: trenchant views and reviews. Still relevant, still marvellous to read.

A story that will always resonate with me is doomed hope. You may lose in the end, but that doesn't mean the struggle wasn't worth it. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Worst day of the year.

I just backed Halflight: Gothic Horror Role-Playing on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/daish…

So it looks like launching from mobile removed every image, paragraph break, and text formatting. Weird. It's fixed now, and to the 20 people who backed despite the page being an impenetrable wall of text: thank you.

@Lorgarwasright How I feel when I hear "Rrrready up, men! Let's show the Emperor's Angels what we're made of!"

Post your favorite "Desire Paths". These are paths that naturally form as a result of bad planning.

Is it practical? No. Will anyone care but me? Probably not. Will I nonetheless commission a wooden stamp and mail it to @SpacePenguinInk with a pad of ink and a bottle of champagne if we fund? Yes. kickstarter.com/projects/daish…

It's no secret that the creation of HALFLIGHT was heavily inspired by the printing works of William Morris: I'm using his typeface, Golden Type, for all body text. What I'd like to do, funds permitting, is have my imprint literally stamped down upon the last page, like he did:

Video game Kickstarters should start doing the same stretch goals as tabletop game Kickstarters. $40,000: The game will now be in color! $60,000: More save points! $80,000: New level designed by a different studio! $100,000: A ribbon! (In your character's hair)

Dragon Ruins II: the Steam page is live. Wishlist now: store.steampowered.com/app/3293490/Dr…

@BrophyLevey Brophy is criminally underrated. I hold that "Flesh" is one of the most honest and realistic portrayals of love in fiction.

Brigid Brophy's second novel is both poignant and funny.

This thread rules. King's Field is one of the most original takes on fantasy I've ever played, which is impressive considering there's like 500 words of dialogue in the first three games combined.
