Do you ever think about how the three primary Homers of western civilization (Greek, Simpson, Baseball) form a perfect trinity that represents all facets of a persons life (cultural, private, public)?
I can’t say I specifically have, but I hear you. Pynchon would love this
next years mood is love, same as always

someone closed the hell portal & ended the ten thousand year nightmare war which is good obviously but now we have all these newly unemployed heroes with ancient magic weapons and no real skills outside of killing demons wandering around everywhere

Something almost bitter about how Denethor held the line for years, how Denethor endured despair and grief for years, and kept Gondor in the hands of those loyal to it, and only right at the end did he break, and succumb to years of suffering, and decide that instead of waiting any longer for the unbeatable enemy to kill him, he would at deny the enemy that and take his death (and Faramir's) into his own hands, and because of that his legacy would forever be tarnished and scorned, meanwhile we know that for five years Theoden had succumbed, Theoden had given in, he had granted power in his land to a traitor, his people and his family suffered, and he only pulled it together right at the end for a glorious last stand and because of that he would be honoured for years to come as a great and noble warrior king.
And there is something to be said for celebrating those who manage to heal and recover from such despair, but then you have to ask what Denethor might have achieved had he been able to heal as welll.
sleeping on the floor is making a comeback after i was in the woods for 12 hours and fell asleep on my doormat after getting home.
maybe it shouldn't. I woke up convinced there was a portal opening to the rat dimension next to me but it was my headlamp
you need to go back to the rat dimension they need your help
last time i listen to you

200 Word RPGs 2025
Each November, some people try to write a novel. Others would prefer to do as little writing as possible. For those who wish to challenge their ability to not write, we offer this alternative: producing a complete, playable roleplaying game in two hundred words or fewer.
This is the submission thread for the 2025 event, running from November 1st, 2025 through November 30th, 2025. Submission guidelines can be found in this blog's pinned post, here.
i'm not sure that i'll do well again a game about stakes
you are a hero. you set out to save the world. everyone was counting on you and you failed.
you are dead, but lucky. death is willing to present you with three chances to rectify your failure
pick a one-on-one competitive game that you've played before. this is DEATH'S GAME. you must play it thrice:
first, against a stranger second, against someone in your life very dear to you third, against the person you know who's best at it
choose three tokens. these should be things that are not vital but you would be sad to see go: trinkets, snacks, or money in small denominations. when you lose a game, dispose of a token.
before playing each of your matchups, assign the game a stake that you haven't chosen before:
this game is for my right to return to the world of the living
this game is for the lives of my loved ones
this game is to save the world
you may play your games over any period of time.
if you tell your opponent about your stake or that you are playing this TTRPG, you immediately forfeit.
thinking about that episode where Quark has a noise complaint for Odo about Odo and Kira goes "you can hear that???" and Quark points to his own ears and goes "HELLO?"
New Status Effects:
Metem Psychosis - Your brush with death has left some ontological wheels out of alignment. Your future lives leak into the present. You are plagued by memories of the people you could be.
Instrained - You have been released from something inexplicable, a fundamental tether swings adrift. Your will -now unfamiliar- seems to grind against your body.
Subgressed - Your connection to the sensorium has snapped, and your experience is relegated to memory and fantasy. Everything is only as you imagine it to be.
Inculpatized - Your identity has been subsumed by the flow of violence moving through history. You are no longer a person, reduced to the automatism of state applied to muscle tissue.
Cloistered - You are a hungry-eyed sarcophagus. Your participation in life has been replaced with infinitely regressing voyeurism. You cannot sleep.

‘your favorite band could lose your favorite member’ is nothing. it’s obvious. it’s happened. ‘lin manuel miranda could join your favorite band’ is fresh, it’s threatening,
I remember meeting a guy at a bar a year or so ago who told me he worked at the international consortium that does the porn parodies of all the top-grossing film releases. He said that the whole Barbenheimer situation presented his combine with some spectacular highs and lows. Because he said that with Barbie, right, the thing about Barbie is that there's already kind of a three-way ideatic, structural parallel between the curated artificiality of Barbie as a children's toy, the curated artificiality of Barbie as a mass market film, and the curated artificiality of pornography as a genre. Add on top of that that Barbie as a film is already feeling this tension, right where it's trying to be about a character graduating from the platonic sexlessness of a children's franchise to the functional-and-frank sexuality of being a living human woman, but it's also being bogged down in the "Everyone-is-beautiful-no-one-is-horny" aesthetic restrictions of any contemporary big-budget mass-market film so the two states end up looking pretty similar, he said. I mean the film itself is very aware of that tension, right, with that joke about how "casting Margot Robbie is the wrong move if you want to make that point," all that jazz. So, all that in mind, Barbie-themed pornography, he said, is in a weird way actually kind of complementary to the extant project, gesturing at unaddressed tensions and ideas, a dark mirror, the shadow self it wants to deny but can't, there's a lot of room to play in the space. He used the adjective "Lynchian" a couple of times, he seemed super stoked, he was talking with his hands. Oppenheimer, on the other hand. Oppenheimer he said presented a problem. Because obviously you can eroticize the detonation of an atomic bomb, we're all probably three mutuals removed from someone on this site who does exactly that, but obviously that's a niche market, and moreover it's a market that has a ton of overlap with high-minded thinkers who treat the historical use of atomic weapons against Japan with the level of gravity that atrocity demands. So they were stuck. They were really stuck. He told me that they'd been pulling their hair out for months trying to square the circle and all they had to show for it was a big whiteboard with the phrase "Grope-nheimer" written on it
