https://gf.me/u/ytqziw This link leads to the GoFundMe page established by Julia Jackson, mother of Jacob Blake, who was shot seven times in the back by the Kenosha Police Department. I encourage you to donate. Over the summer, the actions of many police departments across the country have only grown only grown more horrific and unconscionable. … Continue reading
Rob Gawks at the 80’s: Introductory Skeletal Trauma Edition
Welcome to the first installment of Rob Gawks at the 80's, a new series in which I uh, gawk at something from the 80's I wasn't aware of previously. I trust that we've all seen at least one reaction post somewhere along the line and I have no interest in explaining myself on this one … Continue reading Rob Gawks at the 80’s: Introductory Skeletal Trauma Edition
(Not So) Obscure Metal Roundup 8: Before They Were Famous Edition
Welcome to the glorious return of Obscure Metal Roundup! It's been almost a year since the last installment, as I realized I was running out of bands to cover – the amount of bands that Spotify recommends because you listen to gobs of Midnight and Hellripper is, after all, finite, and some of them suck … Continue reading (Not So) Obscure Metal Roundup 8: Before They Were Famous Edition
100+ Hours Logged
Back in April, I started playing Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age in earnest. It's a blast and I've had fun with it. However, it's also entirely too goddamn long. As of this writing, I have logged over 100 hours on it, and I have yet to finish. Mind you, that's 100 hours on the … Continue reading 100+ Hours Logged
The Total Party Kill Blues
I killed the entire party Thursday night. Character death is part of the game in D&D. Most campaigns I've been a part of as a player have seen at least one death in the party, and when I've GMed, most of those campaigns have featured several. This is, in fact, the second campaign I've run … Continue reading The Total Party Kill Blues
*tired noises*
Hey Everybody! I know it's been all kinds of quiet around here lately. Everything is cool and good and fine, but I've had a lot of regular life stuff on my plate the past couple of weeks and therefore haven't had much writing bandwidth. It's also way too hot in my neck of the woods … Continue reading *tired noises*
Putting WotC on Blast
Over the weekend, I read this statement from Orion D. Black, detailing a litany of abusive and shitty practices that Dungeons & Dragons publisher Wizards of the Coast inflicts on its employees. The statement describes a toxic, racist work environment that steals its employees work, hires only white men to high-level positions, refuses criticism, and … Continue reading Putting WotC on Blast
Stop Using ‘Objective’
In recent years, I've noticed a bothersome trend. People who review the arts and entertainment have started using the word 'objective' in the course of their reviews, on the presumption that their reviews will be more helpful if they focus on verifiable aspects of the work in question. While this seems to be done with … Continue reading Stop Using ‘Objective’
6 Kinds of Asshole Lawyers
I have largely avoided discussing my last job in this space, having founded this institution almost immediately after the establishment of my funemployment, when my PTSD was at its freshest. Without getting into the nitty gritty of it, suffice to say that a significant part of my job was giving a variety of lawyers bad … Continue reading 6 Kinds of Asshole Lawyers
