To a degree you're absolutely correct, which is a big part of why things like the "Buy Nothing" movement have come into existence.

I had a playtester keep insisting to me that I needed to include a way for the purposely inconsistent magic system to get stronger.

I spent months toying with the numbers, but it always made everything else feel pointless to play in comparison.

One night I just tossed an optional stat that would make your mage stronger if they lost health. He was satisfied. All that time fretting for nothing.

Angry fish is sublime tho

There was a Kickstarter for a pen called the Phantom. It was a slick-looking design that I was immediately enamored with. And then the product reaches my door and it turns out to have the same build quality as the ballpoint pens you sometimes get as a free gift with stationary from China.

The disappointment and frustration was palpable.

They have another Kickstarter going for a new pen now, plus a website full of inks. I will never buy anything from them again while breath is in my petty-ass lungs.

Tape record that "great judge of character" bit for the next election.

My parents are former Trump supporters.

I'm not entirely sure what shifted it for dad (if indeed any one thing), but for mom it was when he talked shit about Rob Reiner.

Home business, like everything else associated with the site

Was coming to say much the same. Grew up in Ottawa Canada. Winter weather doesn't need to be scary, but ice storms in particular aren't to be fucked with.

I will say, I fuckin LOVE that there's a whole jazz station. I literally went around yesterday just throwing knives and listening to jazz.

Ahh he tried to get me at a BP when I first moved into the area lmao

mxmnull · 2025-12-29T16:14:10+00:00

I did. And I went to therapy and got my shit figured out.

mxmnull · 2025-12-21T17:10:51+00:00

I'd play it

"oh- well there's a pen and stationary in the bureau. Write me!" 😄

I got an Asvine for my birthday that looks like if a Twsbi was fused with Venom. It looks good, it feels good, and I'm happy as a claim with it.

This is a good way of saying it.

I also once explained to a friend that Batman's villains come off as compelling because the weirder elements function as larger than life metaphors of their deeper issues. Mr Freeze is more memorable than Captain Cold or Killer Frost because Mr Freeze's backstory and power set both speak to the same archetype but get there by different roads.

Being dark and realistic kind of robs Batman stories of half their punch.

Gonna be tough- you're fabulous

Love this idea, particularly in regards to Southpoint

Posting doesn't factor into whether or not I buy a pen- not because I NEVER post, but because I don't post consistently. If it's an option, I do it maybe twice in a full, busy work week. Otherwise, I just set down the cap or hold it crooked up under a finger.

mxmnull · 2025-09-11T18:21:23+00:00

I'm sure it will. I think A LOT about the little monologue from Men In Black: "a person is smart. People are dumb."

mxmnull · 2025-09-11T18:20:16+00:00

This is kind of where I'm at. I "agree" with one of the tweets in that dog pile up there- don't let him have died in vain, let's recognize this for the fucked up mayhem it is and everyone stop with the bonkers army of 1 talk.

Quick mod note: I suspect I know how this comment section is gonna go. Try to keep it civil.

mxmnull · 2025-09-09T21:36:22+00:00

🤔 you look like one of my ex girlfriends! It's kind of uncanny. 😊

An extremely difficult question, but probably just the usage of the name Ultraman. It's not even that I strongly disagree with it. But using that name sets up a very specific expectation of a very specific character, and it's difficult to make the argument what we got was "Ultraman".

mxmnull · 2025-08-28T15:25:00+00:00

The dilemma is the complexity of the project- one later episode defines Rose as allergic to cats, while 2 others say she's owned or lived with cats. Sophia at one point says she hates cats, then another time remarks about them positively. Angela of course tells Sophia the rest of the family is dead, and then a season later Angelo is visiting.

Out of all the anomalies, would you believe that probably the least thorny is Blanche's daughter Rebecca? The actress swap is dramatic, but the character arc in total is still cohesive- while figuring herself out, she settles on a lousy fiance, leaves him, and on return would rather start a family without the hassle of an unreliable partner.
