The ADHD DM

@xbox.com Hey, I'm gonna be canceling my Gamepass sub until you get rid of these insulting Call of Duty ads you plastered my system with. No one wants your copy of a copy of a remake, and it's frankly ludicrous for you to insist otherwise.

Man, I've been waiting for the next Mass Effect game for years. The announcement that Bioware is being shut down is really a gut punch. Just a few months after Bungie got gutted, too. It's a lousy time to be a gamer, and an even worse time to be a game dev. I hope these guys land on their feet.

In a moment of foolish curiosity today, I made chocolate milk using Nesquick powder that expired in 2021. The resulting beverage tasted exactly like chocolate Ovaltine. I have questions.

I'm like 70% sure that Javier Charro based this character off of @briamgilbert.bsky.social. investigations are ongoing. #MtG

Am old, please help.

I have decided that I need someone to bring Squeezits back.

Ngl, I've really enjoyed the Hobbit draft format. It's a small set, but the archetypes are just so damned fun! #MtG

Sometimes, real live human beings use em-dashes. Believe it or not, that's actually where the robots got it from.

I could not BEGIN to count how many characters I've made just for the hell of it. Half of them I wouldn't even allow in my OWN games. Except, you know, as an occasional bad guy.

Got the new expansion for Diablo IV and loaded it up and was absolutely crushed. They completely ruined necromancers 😭 My undead labor force is completely unusable now, and I'm gutted.

Had the most intense 2-part session of my #D&D career this week. 8 PCs from two separate campaigns. 3 battlemats, including this beastly one that stretched across the entirety of the table. Over 50 enemies killed, a 20-point skill challenge that they beat with 2 failures, and only 1 PC death! #DnD

Gonna draft some #Duskmourn tonight! Can't wait! #MtG

Reclaim the em-dash.

And just like that, the Dimension 20 marathon on #Dropout is over, and now I don't know what to do with myself.

Ran #D&D this morning, then went 2-1 in a flashback Final Fantasy #MtG draft, then played about a dozen games of Pack Wars with a buddy over the course of the evening; today was a pretty good day!

Barbarian: All right, it says here we need a 'tree-bucket.' Bard: That says 'trebuchet.' Barbarian: Bullshit. I've spent three months learning how to read with Cleric, and it clearly says 'tree-bucket.' Cleric: Maybe we...maybe we just let him have this one. #DnD #D&D #TTRPG

All the homies want to play Magic up until I have a new Standard brew I need to playtest 😑

Hot take of the day: The best Star Trek movie is named Galaxy Quest.

Good morning! Since Trump was re-elected, @forbes.com estimates— 💰His net worth is up $2.1 billion, to $6.4 billion 💰Eric’s has increased tenfold, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s has increased sixfold, to $300 million 💰19-year-old Barron Trump is worth $150 million Have a great day!

Trump is letting huge corporations that suck up to him evade antitrust enforcement. State attorneys general should fight back by filing their own lawsuits to break up Live Nation/Ticketmaster and block Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Enough of Trump's oligarchy.

Thinking about building a 'New York City' cube by just smashing together a collection of Spider-Man with a collection of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Both sets have some really fun mechanics and cards, but they're just so small that the draft experience with either is less than great. #MtG

The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people. If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances.

I feel like it should be bigger news that Trump is now openly considering a military draft. Young men haven't been called up for a draft since 1972. Not during the Gulf War. Not during Iraq or Afghanistan. He received five draft deferments but is now open to drafting your kids.

Joshua Jones sums up what I've been thinking about Mullin and his absurd comments about "the smell of war" and other such nonsense. He has never served in any war zone. He has never been on the receiving end of enemy fire or missile attacks. He has never sacrificed anything for anyone.

Rogue: I wouldn't do that to you. Fighter: I believe that's a lie. Rogue: I wouldn't! Not if you were prepared. #DnD #D&D

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Did a flashback #MtG draft last night; my first time drafting Bloomburrow! Had a great time; ended up going 2-1 with a Bant midrange that was surprisingly reliable.

Empathy is not a weakness.

Listening to #WelcomeToNightVale while playing #PacificDrive is an absolute vibe.

That awkward moment when one of your players starts listening to #NADDpod and you know they're about to find out that arcaine was not your creation (I've used it in SO many games).... #DnD #D&D #DrugsAreCool

Started playing #PacificDrive on Gamepass and, I swear, there is nothing quite like it. It's a little buggy (at least on X-Box), but it is SUCH an incredibly evocative game. Also, fuck these Weeping Angel wannabes. They're goddamned TERRIFYING. I hate them. It's great.

Oh shit, Shinedown AND Coheed & Cambria?! I NEED to see this show!

Grandma's Boy is the greatest stoner movie in the world and I am prepared to die on this hill.

The 'Rappin with Cap' educational video we REALLY need.

This is the way.

I need a Toy Story x Child's Play movie, please.

💯💯💯💯💯

My wife is right.

As an ex-evangelical I support this mode of rejection because it is valid but especially because it is also 💀. This is the kind of thing that makes white Evangelicals foam at the mouth because they’ve imprisoned themselves in a dogma of repression

Congressional lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are gearing up for #Section230 repeal, but this could mean an end to social media as we know it.

This all seems pretty standard....

D&D canceled tonight for a work emergency. Truly, no one's life is as hard as mine. No, not even all of those obvious examples to the contrary you're thinking of. 😔

There is no violence against fascism; only self-defense.

For the record: please don't buy a fucking Ring.

Long periods of incarceration are actually a fairly modern invention. Back in the day, if you were a regular person found guilty of a crime, you were either punished with pain, slavery, exile, or execution. The only prisoners kept long-term were typically nobility. #WorldBuilding #D&D #DnD #TTRPG

GREEN DAY’S BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG: “This goes out to all the ICE agents — quit that shitty job… because when this is over, Noem/Miller/Vance/Trump will drop you like a bad habit.” (From @wutangforchildren.bsky.social )

Binged #WonderMan in a day and godDAMN what an absolute delight it was. Definitely check it out if you haven't yet!

Fighter player: Guys, it just feels like you're forgetting a fundamental truth of the game: NOT pissing off the DM is a free action. You can even do it on someone else's turn! #DnD #D&D #TTRPG
