April 23rd, 2025: Hey, did you know I wrote a choose-your-own-path STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS book last year? Well GOOD NEWS EITHER WAY, it's a finalist for both a Hugo and an Aurora award! That is extremely awesome and I'm very happy. If you've ever wanted to read an interactive AWARD-NOMINATED Star Trek comic, might I recommend WARP YOUR OWN WAY??

Long ago, what YouTube tells me is Seven Years Ago, Gabe ran an episode of my old Acquisitions Incorporated: The "C" Team show. Called simply Jimterlude, because it was a Mike Krahulik DM Experience Tee Em, of course it involved an incredibly elaborate, fully functional board game called Wizard Kart. I want to emphasize that Wizard Kart is our wholly owned, original IP and any resemblance or even direct references to other games are either just some thing you made up or direct attacks on our sovereignty. In either case, they're deeply unwelcome!!!

Steam must have this motherfucker dialed in. Gabe is obsessed with self-published indie weirdness in fiction, and discovered tons of hot shit before it got optioned and made into movies. No doubt his predilection toward pervert horseshit has steered his algo to wash up all manner of strange treasure upon his shore, and the latest is the one he was just telling you about a couple days ago - Supercar Collection Simulator. One of this new wave of retail management games, this one has twisted incentives; it is a tour through the coal-black aorta of Capitalism itself. .

I downloaded Supercar Collection Simulator yesterday and since then I have done little else. I have paused for a moment just long enough to write this post and recommend it. My wife Kara likes these sim style games but until now I have managed to avoid the genre. Now I’m spending all day operating my own collectible toy car store though. That by itself would probably be enough to get me but not only does your store stock blind boxes of various levels full of random toy cars (along with track and other accessories), but these cars all have stats and can be raced against customers on slot car style tracks! Here's the kicker, you can open these boxes yourself and collect the cars! After a day of playing I now have two employees who manage the cash registers all day while I sit in the corner and open blind boxes to fill out my supercar collection.

Apparently, Groogle is using one of their abominable intelligences to communicate with dolphins, presumably to steal their IP. Having skimmed the cream from all of human imagining, new frontiers must be identified - and their moist riches harvested. I guess we'll see how that goes! It's gonna depend a lot on the species I bet.

happy easter - dinosaur comics returns next week!

April 16th, 2025: Over the weekend I went to the Kingston Symphony Orchestra where they played the soundtracks to Cuphead and Celeste as speedrunners played the game, matching the orchestra to the music. It was great! There are only a very few things not improved by adding a symphony orchestra and speedruns are not one of them!!

Chris Perkins leaving Wizards of the Coast didn't surprise me too much and it wouldn't surprise anyone who knew him, as much as I'd like there to be a dishy version. Crawford did throw me for a loop; I sent him a mail whose subject line was "WHAT" and whose body text read "but also whaaaaaat" to make sure my bewilderment was properly registered. But I know him, too. He's been a great friend and ally during some very complex times and my life has been enriched by both of these men. My expectation is that James Wyatt - ironically, the first ever Acquisitions Incorporated DM - will be getting more of the limelight, which he will probably hate. That is the fate of the true dork; you do your dorky thing and then people like the dorky thing and suddenly you are a public person through no fault or design of your own. Alas.

This is all too real. He keeps sending me Yasuke videos that are essentially physical comedy; potent Spartan kicks that lift enemies and launch them from Japan to, I assume, the deep cisterns of Sparta itself. Enemies get caught up in a gentle zephyr and dance and sway in a foul wind. It's orthogonal to the typical experience, but in these map fucking games where you gotta fuck the whole map, sometimes a change of pace might be welcome…?
