Table top role playing is a million times better than video games

Ahhh... makes sense.

Train in Vain is a much better song.

Yeah, most likely.

Yes, yes. I forgot to add "most" and "not always." Forgive my lack of caveats...

But...wow... I COMPLETELY forgot about The Little River Band!!!

(And yes, Down Under is one of the five. Its a banger.)

I could do this but zero of them would be video games.

This is they way it always is. The songs that people loved at the time are not the ones remembered.

No one but like... five people were listening to The Clash in the 80s. And I was one of them.

Even then... I like maybe... five songs on this list.

I keep liking my niece's stories... I thought that was being nice...

Ohhh... that is wierd. I had no idea.

Never done a story. I don't really see what they are for.

I'm new to Instagram, but I was watching a video where someone said "He liked my Instagram story, and you KNOW what that means..."

Ummm... no... I actually don't know what that means.

I am now scared to like anyone's Instagram story....

As someone who has been there.

Estonia's historic lighthouses are cool AF.

Hey y’all! It’s Emerald City Comic Con time! I’ll be in artist alley at table C-12 all weekend. I have some new prints, stickers, comics and some Big Boy Social Club cropped mesh jerseys and BBSC camo hats! If you’re in the Seattle area, come through and say hi!

Just finished Hello Sunshine by @keezyyoung.bsky.social and it's so good! Picked it up at MICE, started it a little after, but kind of drifted away with the holidays and prepping for the spring semester. Decided to get back into it tonight and blew through it in one sitting!

Not a Hollywood film, but written by life. Highly recommended story. πŸ—½πŸ—ΊπŸ—Ώ

You seem to have no actual point other than "Hello. I would like to be argumentative."

Sooo.... yeah. Have fun with that.

Now we can actually talk to each other though. Sometimes acquiring a new skill requires the proper motivation.

For my entire career in comics--even before I HAD a career in comics--Dark Horse has always been my Crew.

Always welcoming. Always the most amazing folks. The Dark Horse booth is home at every convention.

There have been a lot of changes over the years. I hope that never changes.

I realize I have of lot of these but I assume most people know them:

I had a random drunken bar hookup. We couldn't even speak the same language. Got engaged two weeks later. Still together after 20 years.

CNN could have saved some headline space by simply putting a period after "fails."

The articles all also mention Aliens.

Which matters why?

When talking about the history of a company, you think it isn't worth mentioning the best-selling book that made everything else possible?

That it should be hidden like some secret shame?

05.03.2026 05:27 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Yep. And yet it never gets more than a passing mention compared to Hellboy.

And while pissed, I still felt proud about it... because it meant Anthony Bourdain knew who I was...

05.03.2026 05:26 πŸ‘ 18 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Anthony Bourdain plagiarized me.

In all the Dark Horse articles running now since the news of Mike Richardson, I find it interesting that they all mention Hellboy, The Mask, Umbrella Academy...

Yet often fail to highlight the single best selling property Dark Horse ever had.

Berserk.
