Tier list of technically correct observations: 1. Underestimate of quantity 2. Contextually irrelevant detail 3. Misapplied categorisation schema 4. Vacuous tautology 5. Overly specific conclusion 6. Remarking on absence 7. Bizarre hypothetical 8. Unappliable moral lesson

I don't think it's ethical.

Made some clarifying edits and wrote up a popularly requested add-on: www.tumblr.com/prokopetz/83...

We as a society need to stop making sexy versions of classic Hallowe'en monsters lithe and hairless. Give that werewolf some meat on his bones. Make Frankenstein's monster as jacked as he is in the book. Give Dracula his fuckass moustache back.

My digital bathroom scale is so fucked up that I weighed myself fully clothed, then took off my pants and weighed myself again and it registered two pounds heavier.

I sometimes wonder how folks who respond to posts with verbal onomatopoeia decide how many letters there are in "oooooh".

Growing up watching stuff like "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" really had me expecting that I'd be encountering more things in my adult life which could aptly be described as "wretched".

For those who also follow me on Tumblr (or who are masochistic enough to sign up for a Tumblr account just to participate in a game jam), this year's Tumblr 200 Word RPGs submission guidelines are up. www.tumblr.com/200-word-rpg...

it's slumptober girlies so go on and knock out one damn thing you can call done it'll give you strength for the coming months

The human brain's propensity to pick up new kinks via repeated exposure must suck if you're one of those people whose kink is being made to participate in kinks you don't have.

Many will cite the backflipping werewolf as their favourite element of the classic "Back Street's Back" music video, but I admit I'm partial to the "sexy mummy" that's just a regular mummy wearing a leather bondage harness, and each time the refrain hits "am I sexual" it cuts to the fucking mummy.

Therapy is a fantastic tool for going from having a problem whose nature and implications you don't understand to having a well-understood problem you're materially unable to constructively address.

One of my great regrets in life is that I've never had occasion to unironically use the word "dastardly".

"Telling a story is not necessarily the goal of every TTRPG" is how you piss off casual players. "The Forge was wrong: even if telling a story IS a TTRPG's principal goal, the activities of play are not necessarily identical with the goals of play" is how you piss off people who blog about TTRPGs.

One of the benefits of working from home is that I can freely read the shit you people post out loud in order to verify that it makes as little sense as I think it does.

I like that "Pacific Rim" textually establishes two characters can be drift compatible not out of fundamental similarity, but because they've so obsessively catalogued everything that annoys each about the other, they can perfectly predict what the other is going to say and do to piss them off next.

One unanticipated side effect of having a moderately widely-read blog is that anxious weirdos are constantly DMing me asking for permission to do or be or think things, which feels like it would be a tremendously exploitable position to be in if I was even a little bit so inclined.

"System neutral" in the sense that this adventure module is extremely obviously written for Mentzer Basic, but the author is trying very hard to be good and not take a dogmatic stance on which particular set of grotesque house rules your table ought to be using.

Media where it's actually, genuinely unclear whether it's a kink thing gets funnier the more esoteric the kink in question is. It's easy to establish plausible deniability for stuff like sweat or feet, but keeping it ambiguous whether the author is bent for eye trauma takes a deft touch.

It's essential that a fucked up vampire be fucked up in at least one way that's completely unrelated to the fact of them being a vampire, which is actually quite difficult to achieve because vampirehood is a cogent metaphor for so many flavours of upfuckery.

Top five red flags in video game soundtracks: 1. Electric guitar in otherwise analogue soundscape 2. Minor key reprise of protagonist's motif 3. Somebody just going fucking nuts on the harpsichord 4. Every instrumental voice drops out except one; +1 if it's like a music box 5. Backwards violins

Religious worldbuilding hack #137: prepend pretty much any English noun to pretty much any word denoting a degree of familial relatedness (e.g., mother, brother, cousin, etc.) and refuse to explain.

Getting written up by the site inspector for my sloppy blowjob and being instructed to attend four hours of remedial seminars on blowjob standards compliance.

A reminder that What If They Gave Madeline a Gun comes out in approximately eight hours. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lwr...

"After everything you've done, why should we trust you now?" "Because I have a pathological need to make sure things are done correctly even to my own detriment, and you're fucking this up so badly I'm in physical pain."
