@eredien @jacel Wait, you're here and not in Alaska?

hypothetical; you, as the DM playing Strahd von Zarovich, wish to vel... I mean welcome the PCs to Castle Ravenloft. You want to avoid the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor because it's too predictable. What do you choose instead?

do NOT comment "the little children of the night, what sweet music they make. Of course, one who was not a hunter would not understand" on all the Bach organ fugues

I run through the world thinkin’’bout tomorrow, thinkin’’bout tomorrow, thinkin’’bout tomorrow!
I am smelling like a rose that somebody gave me on my birthday deathbed!
I am smelling like a rose that somebody gave me ‘cause I’m dead and bloated!

I wasn’t clever enough to avoid staying for dinner so the usual; it’s taking forever, they’re snappish at each other and presumably there’s a chance she’ll snap at me (when you’re a kid you don’t know that your failure to hop to it in just the right way isn’t an innate moral failing). I feel very stuck, trapped and treading water.

Facing an old issue. ADHD might elegantly explain some consistent problems (RSD, inability to focus on this stuff I do only because it’s required of me and feeling stuck there, and I’m always doing it wrong etc). But that could also be PTSD/CPTSD right? And worse I know you can get CPTSD from people reacting badly to ADHD. Testing reveals work is where I’m least focused and motivated. I guess a label doesn’t matter, what’s important is the negative feelings and how to hack them.

@erin_kitsune naw. A bad film you can laugh at and even see bits of connection is, is still worth watching. The Room and Zardoz just wind up being kinda miserable. Flash Gordon, Dune and Excalibur are all movies I want to revisit again and again.

My anger at tech for “everything’s been gentrified out of financial reach” and “brick and mortar places have largely gone away so Amazon can grind bodies, souls and communities to nothing,” is this Venn diagram overlap of resenting Musk, resenting AI and its fans, resenting NFTs, and resenting WotC. Just a lot of vague low lying consistent anger.

@erin_kitsune I enjoyed it which usually does NOT indicate a good movie.

“Get out of here bird, they need you on the ground.”
“WHAT? YOU’LL BE DESTROYED FOR SURE!”
“You heard me!”
“ONWARD MY BRAVE HAWKMEN! LET THIS BE KNOWN FOREVER AS FLASH GORDON’S DAY!”

“General Karla, Flash Gordon approaching.”
“Whatta y’mean, ‘Flash Gordon approachin’?”
“On a Hawkman Rocket Cycle.”

@Chip_Unicorn Whatever's happening I hope you bounce back a bit soon. I know that as staff you wind up getting hit by a batch of crises which aren't necessarily yours, and it's cumulative.

Again, reminded of how I love "Akira's" soundtrack. Pulling on traditional music means you can't think of the setting as just futuristic, modern and Indonesian instruments mean you can't think of it as just Japanese. It's very grounded, but not in a way you can easily classify.

oh yeah it's my favorite Naxatras track, "Sucking, Bubbling Noises and Giggling"

weirdly, this is also my favorite Kyuss track

and my favorite Floyd track

I'm not sure what the connection is.

the correct answer to "tell me about a time you failed" in a job interview is always "there was that botched wetworks job in Uppsala, but I don't think THEY want me telling just anyone about it."

@zetasyanthis oh geez. I’m sorry Zeta.

@LexYeen and they’re the same deer

I have film noir syndrome. I get a tough guy voiceover in my head constantly.

THEY DON’T ADVERTISE FOR KILLERS IN A NEWSPAPER.

Shut up Humphrey. Anyway I was saying it’s very rare.

Bottom surgery, that’s when they give you a donkey’s head right?
