I tried my best to recreate Saville’s color code in Lego once for New Order’s Blue Monday single

DRACULA’S ANGEL looks like it takes place in the Metaverse: blank, featureless expanses of green punctuated by elaborate 3D assets, inhabited by dead-eyed creeps

“ahhh, I don’t get it, Pip! My work: Lego. My hobbies: Lego. Every mug I know has somethin’ to do with Lego! Are ya sure I wasn’t supposed to go to y’know some other place…?”

Oh, you watched a three-hour movie this weekend? That’s cute.

I make my Electronics and Advocate checks in #TravellerRPG with @eff.org 2D6’s 🎲🎲

OK let’s go

“It’s North by Northwest with the guy from Moonlighting!” 35 years later, this ridiculous movie still makes me laugh 🎾

Someone who’s better at putting on a state fair

More Constructivism! Also a shout-out to Situationists at the punk exhibit at Skirball

It is fitting that this adjacent photo of Rob Liefeld does not include his feet

(I learned about Constructivism from Farscape)

More disappointing AI slop from @skeptoid.bsky.social — before bed, remember to put on all your rings, both your wristwatches, and bracelet of melting blobs

Earworm has entered its fourth day

“Libera te tutemet ex B-Movie TV”

A minor detail I love about character creation in Traveller is the ranks (levels) of the Entertainer career. Ranks 0-4? Utter obscurity. But Rank 5? “Famous Performer”. Both ‘anyone can call themselves an artist’ and overnight success that only took 12+ years in one table

Me, having gone to a university that gutted its arts college in 2016

An auspicious day! Hail Satan 🤘

Introducing a protoplasmic goo into my sci-fi game and picking a color the players wouldn’t riff on was the most fraught part of it: Brown, Yellow, White are out. Black (Prometheus rip-off). Orange? (Juice.) Pink? (Pepto Bismol.) So what did I go with?

After a scene of rapid-fire auctioneering, the man slowly telling an old German, “I’m sorry sir, I cannot understand you.” is a sublime gag

Wh… what did you say is in your nopalitos

Heck yeah, I was there in 2023! I came in 8th (out of 8).

Guess I better get with the times

An affair, like, as a bit…?

“Hmm, this one is really yappy.”

Last chance to see Lego Myst Island at Solvang Brick and Builds!

Hmm, a robot making a sacrifice by walking through lava…

Either you have to use a paid tax filing service this year of fill out and mail your taxes by hand…

Surely that didn’t influence your writing at all?

To clarify, “that scene from The Lego Movie” the author of Mayor of Noobtown is referencing is when Wildstyle looks around a Lego city alley and sees parts she can appropriate to make a getaway vehicle. This opaque reference is meant to describe the video game mechanic of crafting.
