Penny Arcade e-Racing tonight!
As usual, over here. It’s soothing, and I could use some soothing tonight. This first week of the new school schedule is almost done, no blow-ups, and all it took was an endless amount of vigilance and teacher’s-aiding!
…Why, yes, I do have both rum, and Coca-Cola. What a fascinating idea. Although I tried Scotch and soda water a while back, and now I get why people drink that.
New trailer hints at Martian Manhunter in the #SnyderCut.
That’s what GeekTyrant thinks, at least, and I think they’re right.
Also: Ben Affleck is a hell of a lot better at being Batman than I thought Ben Affleck would be at being Batman. Go figure, huh? Honestly looking forward to JUSTICE LEAGUE on the 18th…
03/04/21 Snippet, DUNGEON CLEANING.
Raymond Chandler knew what he was about.
Patreon!Marta snorted when I brought it up. “Come on, Ike,” she said. “Cold, wet, dark, people good enough to kill us all and then take our stuff. You really miss that?”
“Well, sure. Don’t you?”
That got the dimples going. “Absolutely. But I’m a green-skinned savage from the wilds. You’re a civilized wizard, Scholar of the Chill, Keeper of the secrets of the Azure Wisdom. Not some spellchucker with the ink still damp on his journeyman rating. Where’s your dignity, man?”
I grinned back at her, then looked through the windows, for once. It really was a nice view up here. “I got plenty. Heck, I’ll trade half of it for my old knees back. Guess I just wish for the old days of sudden terror—” and that’s when I grabbed Marta and dragged her down to the floor, just before the windows shattered.
Tweet of the Day, I Followed Along edition.
Not sure why Tycho’s all het up about, here. I’ve heard far more obscure stuff, in my day. Sometimes even when sober.

Flogging Molly livestream, 03/17/21.
From Dublin, no less. Virtual tickets are current fifteen bucks, so get it now. The Flogging Molly concert starts at 3 PM Eastern time, 03/17/2021. It’s one of my favorite bands, so this should be cool.
03/03/21 Snippet, MARKET DAY AT THE PECZ.
Need to ramp up fully, but it’s coming along.
Patreon!Calm yourself, Cascadia Silversong. I do not intend for your minions to take and raze that insipid place. I merely wished to acquire certain items. And fear not: my having them will do you no harm. Quite the contrary.
“How nice of you to let us know that,” Silversong replied, with as much sarcasm as she thought she could get away with. “But even if we let you use our siblings without asking, I’m still not your minion. So in the future, you keep me in the loop with whatever you’re doing. I’m no mushroom: leaving me in the dark and feeding me bullshit won’t get you whatever it is you want. Not in the long run.”
That got a pause from Camio, and then a grudging Very well. The Portlanders possess a particular pair of knives; ones imbued with certain powers. It would be best if our foes no longer possessed them.
“Which is why you just sent somebody to up and steal it,” Silversong said, suppressing the urge to massage her forehead.
The DIFFERENT TROUBLE RPG Kickstarter.
DIFFERENT TROUBLE is a supplement to Greg Stolze’s TERMINATION SHOCK science fiction RPG: the Kickstarter’s half-over, half-funded. Check it out; the core game looks fun, although I haven’t played it yet. And, before anybody asks, it’s ethically sourced. Print on demand, so no worries about your gaming money going to fund cultural genocide and slave labor!

PS: I’d comment on that hair, except I’m fairly shaggy myself. Haircuts are a bit of an interesting proposition at the moment.
The “Take It To Eleven” WITHOUT REMORSE trailer.
If you click the link, you’ll see that they changed the plot. I think. There’s at least one scene in WITHOUT REMORSE the movie* that I absolutely don’t remember from the book and I don’t give a [expletive deleted]. Adherence to the book is a good thing, sure. So is getting the character right.
Look, worst-case scenario here? I’m just gonna pretend that Michael B. Jordan is playing a guy who happens to have the same name as one of the characters in a Tom Clancy novel. If I do that, everything’s fine.

*You’ll know it when you see it. Did John Clark do that in the book? I believe not. Would he have done it? Absolutely.
