Two attempts at a two-minute sketch. The object in front is a score counter.

Two interesting things spotted the other day:

- On the door of a public park port-a-potty, a pair of baby footprints in light green paint.

- In a grocery store parking lot, some scraps of a torn-up personal check for $20,000.

One wonders about the stories behind these.

Ladies and gentlemen, The Weakened.

Session 2 of my #FateCore space campaign.

After quickly dispatching the ice ostriches, our heroes discover that their wayward young relatives are using the rally as cover to drill through the ice to loot a starship that crashed through into the ocean below. The uplifted capybara A-teams the drilling truck into a submersible clown car. The party rescues the boys, but must deal with some battlesuited troops with whom the disgraced scientist has a mysterious past relationship. As they leave the ship and prepare the rescue the dormant troops, a giant tentacle tilts the ship off of its underwater cliff toward a volcanic vent.

Best lines:

“If they’re riding ostriches, I’m gonna be mad.”

“Some of my best friends are killer cyborgs!”

“Could we fit a small person and a capybara into one space suit?”

Got re-boosted!

Is this some kind of racket?

Why is it so hard to find unscented personal hygiene products (e.g., shaving cream)?

@htdrake and I occasionally hold "theme months" with reading, viewing, games, food, crafts, and other activities. Past themes have included minerals, submarines, dragons, and miniature worlds.

July 2022 will be #RiverMonth. Don't post your ideas just yet, but start thinking about what rivery things you'd like to do.

(We learned shortly after deciding this that June is National Rivers Month, but we're gonna be rebels.)

The main character in our second earthquake game is named Duc. Originally this was a placeholder, standing for "default Unity cube", but then we realized it was a legitimate Vietnamese name, so we kept it.

How to pronounce Duc? Here's a page with three interpretations. The first two aren't exactly the same, but the last one clearly didn't have a human in the loop.

It seems like the Netflix catalog is almost all filler. Also, almost everything in the sci-fi category is tagged "dystopian".

What good movies have you found there?

There is an app called Wingsong that, when you put a Wingspan card in front of the camera, plays the song of that bird.

I wondered aloud whether one of them would be a rickroll.

Moments later, we discovered the actual easter egg in the app, which was a much more on-brand joke.
