Also, the implication that, as a step-father, I'm somehow only doing it for predatory reasons versus wanting to give my step-son the best life possible is incredibly insulting.

I think that's something that we'll probably never know how much of an effect it's had overall, but there's definitely something there.

Most folks I know who got it had it in the later waves, but even then, I've seen things like diabetes pop up in people who didn't have it before.

I still have a special place in my heart for Inferno since it was the first crossover I ever read with those books. And then going back later and reading all the stuff that led up to it with Madelyne Pryor and all. It's an excellent payoff for long-form storytelling.

Cover for Uncanny X-men #223 wherein Storm fights a giant snake with a knife. Likely was later painted on the side of a van somewhere.

Mine was 223, which had a badass cover and also a story that featured Storm hallucinating some crazy stuff (featuring Forge!).

My second issue was one of the Inferno ones that was no less confusing. No idea how I ended up sticking it out from there.

personsonable me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU miaislying Hey OP?

Don't know about Twitter, but this is my favorite Tumblr post

I have always loved your use of embiggen with her.

Stella is a world-class game writer and anyone would be lucky to have her on staff.

The only TJ parking lot i've ever seen that was not a horrifying liminal space of non-euclidian proportion and geometry is the Ballard one. It was reasonable.

I love Karl Urban, but dude should have been Johnny Cage.

Bowling shoe. If they were red, i could see clown shoes, maybe. Maybe avoid wearing them with polka dots and/or strips. Certainly avoid a Pagliacci-style frill and conical hat.

Song that was stuck in my head when I woke up today: Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men

I hated those ads for how dirty they did that game. To this day, if i recommend it to people they mention the ads.

I'm just grateful that Big Fish didn't do those ads when i was there.

One of my favorite movies.

Absolutely. It's the best way to eat them. Also, Lemon-Ups are a surprisingly solid Girl Scout Cookie.

I remember 17 year old me being absolutely blown away by this game when it came out. VI is still my favorite, but VII is a very close second.

You should totally give it a shot. You know how to express ideas in a concise manner while still keeping them approachable, and you've written things that appeal to a wide base. I feel like there should be some comms work available.

NO (NEGATIVE)

Buffy fans having kids?

I did a lot of my writing on my phone while riding the bus to work. Non-work writing, i get about 45 mins a night when everyone else has gone to bed.

I was in Melbourne to visit my wife's family over the holidays, and y'all are no slouches in the food department either.

The fact that Smoke is only in the last ten years or so is depressing.

And yet, they keep having one. Usually Spiders.

I like that it includes *both* Smoke and Spiders. Most of the charts like this that I've seen have one or the other.

I would love this film even if I wasn't a native Tacoman.

It's a regular enough occurrence round these parts that it may not be related now that i think about it.

We had fireworks and a surprising round of gun shots.

GINGER CUZ!

I think it was nice of the company to not only give them refunds, but credits towards a future kidnapping.

Frodo: I wish so much unbelievably stupid shit had not happened in my time Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. This is all exceptionally stupid, though

I am curious if the bad taste from the end of GoT may have impacted the subsequent adaptations.
