When you’re running a #TTRPG that bills itself on its tactical experience, and you’re running a combat forward table, but someone missed the memo.

mastodon 4.7.3Hi, everyone, I’m Andrew, He/him pronouns. I’m a TTRPG, science, video game, and music (esp. the navel-gazing side of the metal spectrum) nerd. Tired millennial with entirely too much on my plate. Yet another case of “you’ll get more conservative when you get older” turning out to be hilariously wrong, so bigots of any variety can fuck all the way off. Occasional toots i norsk (fordi jeg er misunnelig på alle med et fungerende helsesystem).

Is it just me, or is the #deathcore scene somehow more of a minefield for those of us who’d like - at a minimum - their music to not be made by outright Nazis or serial rapists than the #BlackMetal scene? Like sure finding a new black metal band does mean that you’re playing find the hidden Nazi, but the Venn diagram between deathcore vocalists and sexual predators is disconcertingly close to a circle. Also why is it always the vocalist? #metal
I have a løngstanding rule that if yøu replace a perfectly gøød O with the Scandinavian Ø to seem møre trve cvlt, I will ønly ever prønøunce yøur band ør søng name precisely as written.
Pøur øne øut før the Scandinavians whøse eyes bled frøm reading this pøst.
For those using a screen reader, I’ll nest a version of this that doesn’t replace all of the o’s with ø’s in the alt text.

Nice
So with all the stress the past week or so, I’ve rediscovered the genre of YouTube that constitutes my comfort watching: the particularly natury side of paludarium building. The idea of someone creating a self contained ecosystem because it’s beautiful and/or their animals deserve the best environment they can be given is really soothing for me, plus it scratches some of that carpentry/furniture building itch.
Celebrating Memorial Day weekend with an extended getaway to the most expensive hotel in town with my wife: the local hospital. She’s recovering well from the surgery, but if anyone was wondering, I have it on good authority that gallstone induced pancreatitis is a real -12 out of 10 experience and comes highly recommended if your goal is to do what I assume the youths would call painmaxing.
So #NewHolland has a line of beers marketed as Dragon’s Milk. They’re all bourbon barrel aged, and the most widely distributed seems to be the stout. As a biiiig fan of the stout, when I saw others, I picked up a mix pack. Finishing the golden ale now, and if you’ve ever wanted a pilsner that has its refreshing crispness wrecked by someone dumping a bunch of simple syrup into your beer, have I ever got the beer for you. What the hell happened here? The stout is fantastic though, red TBD.

@randocity @lisamelton yeah, honestly, if you’re an investor, and you buy based on claims by a man who lies so consistently that it’s circled back around to being a reliable form of communicating the truth so long as you just assume the opposite of everything he says is what will happen, you’re in fool me once shame on you; fool me 3,286 times, shame on me territory.

@JuliusGoat@mastodon.social “neither are we,” interjects a Greek chorus of special interest lobbyists. “Most American politicians just - completely independently - come to the correct stance after extensive meetings with me at fancy restaurants that the cause I advocate for is critical.”
“Not helping,” Alito whispers back, visibly upset.
Baffled, the Greek chorus continues, “the millions we dump towards politicians are all to SuperPACs, which don’t coordinate with politicians, ergo apolitical”
I mentioned that having post deletion on, I’d be finding some way to compile and pin my #abstract #photography edits. I signed up for pixelfed and will be stashing everything there, so if you missed some or wanted to get another look at some, I’ll be uploading the various abuses of double exposure I’ve got in my camera roll over the next few days. Feel free to go follow me over there.

Alright, I guess everyone’s doing the #introduction thing, so hi, I’m Andrew, and I imagine like a lot of you, I’m putting out feelers for an alternative to the bird app in light of recent news.
I’m a TTRPG nerd, amateur world builder, rabid podcast consumer, and metal (esp. prog/avant-garde, atmospheric black metal, funeral doom, post, other stuff that makes me a real drag at parties).
So, uh, hi. I’ll be trying to figure things out here.
For ethical reasons, I’m moving away from Spotify, so I’m not sure what will become of this playlist. For those interested, I’ve made and will be maintaining a #TransMusicMonday playlist on Apple Music, which should be viewable regardless of whether you have an account.
