MY TEETH ARE SHARP, MY TYPERS ARE TAUT, AND MY MUG IS FILLED WITH AN ENERGY DRINK FROM AN EASTERN-EUROPEAN COUNTRY THAT NO LONGER EXISTS, WHOSE CANS BOAST “FIVE CUBES OF ENERGON PER ALIQUOT”, “NOW WITH ANGRIER MOLECULES”, AND “SOLID STATE”. LET’S DO THIS. Before we begin, I’d like to shout out my pal of…
These Things I Bagelieve, Or, A Manifestivus For The Rest Of Us, Part II
(What’s all this then? See Part I to catch up and uncover the secret of how I got this terrible scar!) I broke this article in half because I thought it was too long all in one piece, and then it dang turned out all the too-long was in the second half anyway, I dunno,…
Other Pursuits July 2023, Or, Last Of The Wobbegongs
Dredge (Switch) Everybody loves a fishing minigame! Especially if it’s more than just Press A To Make Fish Happen! Dredge is the title that dares to ask: what if the whole game was a fishing minigame, where every fish’s capture-mechanism is different, and also with some inventory-management-and-upgrade-tree stuff! As all great games do, Dredge starts…

These Things I Bagelieve, Or, A Manifestivus For The Rest Of Us, Part I
This gentle dumbass does not generally truck in certainty; there’s a bit in The Fellowship of the Ring where Frodo’s talking to some Elves who give him unhelpful advice, and we get the following: ‘And it is also said,’ answered Frodo: ‘Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and…
Blaugust 2023 is Coming, Or, The Sweat Of A Voltron’s Brow
THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THIS IS NOT EVEN AN AWL, OR THE TERRIBLE, HOLLOW FANG OF LA ARAÑA. THIS. IS. BLAUGUST APPARENTLY. This news was brought to me, as so much is, by my pal Renard over in his world; go check out his archive, he’s the best! One could be forgiven for thinking…
Mutton But Trouble (The Sea Of Monsters, Ch. 14)
PJ and the gang book a ticket to Toon Town, Population: HIJINX. DOES Polyphemus have any discount codes for his Etsy shop we could use? What IS a goat if not a large rabbit? And WHEN will William kill the douche buzzing their bike up and down his street while SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO…
The Green Glyphs Divinatory Universe, Or, Your Vibes May Vary
James R. Eads is a wilderness-prophet of art; his Kickstarters have been the largest and most persistent threat to my wallet for years, and I suspect that it won’t be safe for me to go back in the water anytime soon. This latest offense against my attempts at financial responsibility serves as a perfect entry…
