Thursday nights are for Critical Role, mute the tags because I am obnoxious. Besides D&D, other things currently include theatre, mysteries, dinosaurs, nature, nerdery, and ecopolitical nonsense. Sometimes I liveblog movies- I try to both warn and consistently tag them.

The train takes 8 hours. The plane takes 1 hour, plus an hour to/from the airport at each end and the time it takes to get through security. Both are clean and as safe as you could hope any matter of transport to be. Both have Wi-Fi.

Which do you take?

The train

The plane

“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid

Okkkkkkkaaaaaaayyyyyy.

So. That last episode that just released is. That's what every day feels like. The bad guys win and the good guys die and there's nothing you can do about it.

Except here in the real world, it's harder to flee screaming and pick up the pieces later.

Oh man. I am gonna have to recover from that one.

Saying more ain't just spoilers, it's a real bummer.

The Taryvan.

Good lord.

"I wasn't talking about Scanlan."

Travis, you don't get to break my heart like that! The others do it all the time, I'm used to it. You wait and then that big idiot Grog says something *right.*

Because that's who he is.

[taavicleric]

Oh, it's legally distinct Myythkarver, Pike.

[taavicleric]

Keyleth. I get you're not trying to make him a vampire. Buuuuuut. Percy indicated that's psychopathy. He would know.

[taavicleric]

Is there anybody who still thinks that the way JRR Tolkien ret-conned Bilbo to've lied in The Hobbit so the ring could be The Ring is, I dunno, revisionist or untrue to the story, or whatever the fuck fandoms out there choose to be critical about when adaptations get made?

Like, *are* those assholes out there? Were they?

[taavicleric]

Y'know. Taliesin has *said* Percy wears the union suit with the butt flap as pajamas.

WHY does Legend of Vox Machina always show him just... without the coat and vest?

(Yes, I know, it'd be a whole 'nother thing someone has to draw.)

[taavicleric]

Man, if people knew all the shit I was dealing with that I don't talk about.... I assume they would be just as unsympathetic in the long run, and I would have to listen to a lot of mindless platitudes in the short term.

OK, because I know that Brennan Lee Mulligan has food stuff, and I'm curious whether it aligns with mine (nope), I'm now watching HIS Final Meal, and, OK, Brennan: tavern cut pizza is not Iowa's. It's Milwaukee's, and it travelled across the Midwest. Why? Because it does not go on a plate. It goes on a napkin and you eat a bunch of tiny little pieces with your beer and your cigarette along with everybody else at the bar. This is the rationale. I don't agree with it, I don't support it, but, Brennan, I know you like an origin story. It's not pizza as meal, it's pizza as bar nibble. SO, yes, when the use case crosses over to a place that's known for the pizza and they're no longer serving the alcohol and you can't smoke in the bar, it definitely loses its idiom, but, that's why.

OK, I have been half-listening to Laura Bailey's last meal, and was mostly not enjoying it (listening to people eat is different from listening to people cook, and I was not anticipating that), but we've gotten to Laura's House is Haunted.

AND TRAVIS IS STILL MARRIED TO HER?

[taavicleric]

Oh. Because of his anti-ghost aura. Got it.
