I like Vampires. Love big gothic estates, love decadent little eighteenth century dandies moping around. Dracula is strongly in the running for my favorite fictional character. Actually, let's do that.

Alphabetical Order:

Arthur Morgan
Dracula

It just dawned on me that its a crying goddamn shame we got the most boring dudebro cliche standalone expansion where John fights Zombies but we have yet to get a standalone expansion in the RDR2 engine where Dutch gets the gang caught up in a scheme to take advantage of this Eastern European dandy nobleman fella who wants to move boxes of dirt out west. Simple folk, easy mark. Trust me, boys, this last job will get us the money we need for Tahiti

I'm glad people can play the Vampire RPG without accidentally funding white supremacy or whatever that dumbshit was about.

However, I liked the Palladium book representations better. Vampires are all part of cthulhu-like creatures' conspiracies so if you saw one, it wasn't like "yawn vampire, throw some garlic at it and it will go away" it was more "oh poo poo, we must've wandered into Lord Night's Murder Realm. We're hosed by sundown." And if they try to negotiate then you know something terrible is afoot.

She is very weirdly afraid of people about 95% of the time and that even applies to me. She'll lay on me and I can pet her just fine, but if she's awake and about she is quick to scamper under the bed if I want to go pet her.

My ex-gf brought her dog (idk what breed it was but it was small and had curly hair so I wanna guess a maltese or a poodle of some kind) and my cat was like twice its size and still was terrified of it. Then like 4 months later I drop my cat off at a friends as I'd be going out of town for a week and my cat played with their Jindo (hunting dog a bit bigger than a shiba inu but a bit smaller than a golden retriever) all week.

been pulling weeds from the flower beds in the yard, and it feels pretty good. ripped out so much fuckin Virginia creeper :radcat:

I think I want to take a day off doing that tomorrow, though, because I was using my hilariously delicate bare hands and I definitely feel a couple of ever-so-slight blisters forming

nothing debilitating, of course, but these are artisan’s hands—optimized for the most boring and forgettable white noise posting—and I’d be a fool not to take care of them

For favorite characters before Arthur Morgan I would probably say my favorite video game character would be Eddie Riggs from Brutal Legend, mainly because his life philosophy of doing heroic stuff while others take the glory because I rather not have the attention and just be responsible for things going well.

Being in charge of operations of a DSA chapter has been motivating, but it sucks that for over a year the National Org has been trying to punish us for refusing to allow someone back in that we expelled

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

We did a campaign where we talked the aztec god of rains into helping Pecos raiders push into old Mexico City. My love for PnP stuff has kinda waned over the years mostly because that was always a "little kid" thing to me. But I still collected a lot of supplemental materials because I am a weirdo.

For the record I've gotten past that looking down on thing. Do it if you love it, RPG weirdos are pretty harmless. I've thought about doing one of those online thingers like that one web show but its a good mix of anxiety and curmudgeoniness that talks me out of it.

Finished watching that Psybuster anime. Pretty good punchline finish. Then it does another episode that tells a helluva lot more entertaining story than we got in the loving show. Also homeboy didn't get his mom back, and was strangely cool about it??. Also that ending song has to be about getting pregnant. Which is what the gently caress.

It was all made on a producer's Amiga. They can probably make it look not poo poo now. Like how planets in Star Trek TOS look rad on the blu ray releases.

Season 1 is touch and go, Season 5 is not great but has a few good episodes. Seasons 2 & 3 are legit great, and season 4 is two seasons crammed into one because they were told they weren't getting a Season 5 until right before they began filming the final episodes of Season 4. It's breakneck compared to everything else. The spin off series does not need to be seen.

i didn't watch it's always sunny after season 2 then watched the whole show over the last few days. almost cried to the mac dance performance piece and might have cried if i knew there was legit personal meaning behind it due to rob's entire family being gay except for his father. show has too many mines on the field to recommend just for that tho, if someone can't stand very awful people as characters whether they are on purpose or not. best left to p*ece of poo poo viewers such as meself
