    Hurting the right people is such a hateful phrase… like, you want to hurt EVERYONE, but you have to be reigned in by bigoted masters…

    I grew up and lived most of my life until recently in the DFW metroplex. From Fort Worth to Dallas, I’ve lived there and worked there, often not at the same time (commutes always suck there) but my experience with making Hispanic friends is that when I went to a Mexican restaurant in Gardiner, Montana , that me and my other Texan friends waited for months to open, and I ordered Mole.

    I’ve had mole. I’ve had mi amigo’s abuela’s mole straight from her cocina. What I was served was a plate of brown shit - somehow flavorless, and offensive to all tastes at the same time.

    I don’t ask for refunds, buyer beware and all. We got fully refunded, and shit ALL over their restaurant to everyone we talked to, and I was at the front desk of a hotel in Yellowstone, 5 miles from their doorstep.

    Bowling for Soup was right, the Mexican food sucks north of there anyway.



  • Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are all Abrahamic religions.

    To break it down, essentially, different flavors of the same core “food.”

    Christianity believes in Christ (Jesus Christ) as the messiah and savior. Judaism does not consider Christ to be the messiah, and are still waiting. Islam believes that Jesus was a prophet of the lord (same lord, god, etc) but Mohamed was the first, and thus best (hearkening back to early internet “first” posts that were utterly pointless).

    Its all the same shit, but go on.












  • The last group I was with ran mostly DND 5e. However, our DM needed a break, and another player took up the reigns for a Star Wars Table Top.

    It was not serious. Homebrew and the rule of cool made it a blast - Think Guardians of the Galaxy comedy in a Star Wars wrapper.

    The DM for that set goal posts. Like around a certain level, force sensitive classes would get their first light saber.

    My character was a bounty hunter who finally got his Mandalorian armor where I could customize “components” like a hand mounted flame thrower, or a shoulder cannon, or what the fuck ever. We spent more time dissecting statistics to get it balanced than anything thematic.

    Totally home brewed in that system.

    I think that was my best table top experience, and I’m an old school DND nerd. I feel like some days I can barely do my job, but I can quote how THAC0 works on a whim.

    I don’t understand statistics unless dice are involved, and no that does not extend to gambling dice games. Utterly useless, but I can go into an ADHD hyper focus on anything that is not actually beneficial to my life in a tangible way, lol.


  • We live in troubled times, the planet is overheating at a rate that it might affect my life more than being more uncomfortable in the summer. And that’s Texas summers at that.

    There is an island of plastic refuse in the ocean bigger than some countries.

    I saw the home computer come to the living room and the internet be birthed.

    If you were to ask if I was jaded as a kid, already? Yeah. Around 7 years old.

    It isn’t getting better. Corporations claw for more and more at the expense of the people and the planet.

    I hope the younger generations can lead the charge of change, but for me… I don’t have the time or energy to play games most days, let alone change the planet.

    And for those who will say, “Aren’t you just part of the problem then?” Sadly yes, I am. I try to make changes when I can, but I fear changing the small environment of my home will not be enough.

    I mean, what is stopping parade drills at places like children’s hospitals?

    Do it once a month, give those kids some magic back in their life.

    Children’s hospitals suck, no matter how hard everyone is trying to be upbeat. You don’t get over conversations that include phrases like non-accidental trauma in a NICU. Someone beat the shit out of a baby already in the NICU. Hell holes.
