He’s quite an impressive comic.

Here’s a link to a Josh Johnson bit about radioactive shrimp!

I hadn’t heard that, so I googled!

I had loved Jay Johnston ever since the Mr. Show days. Used to cheer when he popped up in things.

Fucking traitor. I flip off the screen anytime he’s on now.

I, too, played as a kid, and then again as a teenager, before coming back to the fold about seven years ago.

My dad ran a campaign for my family when I was six or seven. I remember spilling my kool-aid all over the table when we turned a corner and my dad said “You see… a MINOTAUR!”

As a teenager I played with friends and at a local college, and often ended up being the DM.

Then seven years ago, my aunt and uncle invited me to a game their daughter’s husband was starting.

After about a year I convinced my Dad to join us. It’s worth mentioning that all of us are neurodiverse in some respect, and as such have always been my favorite relatives.

Then COVID hit and I started running a game for my board gaming friends, and started one with my family playgroup as well.

I’ve created a world and plotline, I’ve run published adventures, and I’m even working on a supplement for the Witchlight adventure that I will publish on the official site.

And the ‘Proud’ Boys.

None of the marketing I saw even hinted at that, so thank you.

I’d just raise the temp slowly until it starts boiling. The only reason I can think it wouldn’t be simmering at that temp is that the water has been boiled off, but that’s almost certainly not the case here.

But I’ve never made stock before.

Parvo sucks. Thank you for looking after the kitties.

I think Putin has convinced him to unify the Americas. Trump now wants an empire just like his shitdaddy does.

My interpretation would be that she has a crush on him and is hoping that converting him would be a way to (innocently) sink her claws in.

As such, she is nervously laughing off his sexuality because it’s another thing that makes him harder ‘tame’.

Lucky.

City of Lost Children is my pick. It has such amazing worldbuilding. Drops you in cold with no apologies and trusts you to just go on the ride.

I assume that’s how they keep rioting at a minimum. Nobody questions if everything is going according to how they were told it would be, to paraphrase the Joker.

The People have stated their priorities. If the rest of the machine refuses to work to fulfill those promises, they are betraying the people.

Promises are fulfilled through work.

Wishes come true. Terrible framing.

It is! I’ve been listening, but then family arrived.

I used to tease my parents for owning an album called Green Onions.

Now I recognize it as a classic.

Added to my funky Christmas mix!

I have a weekly D&D game with my favorite aunt and uncle, as well as my Dad and my cousin’s husband.

The latter runs one weekend, and I run the next, completely separate games of course.

I’m 51, my dad is 79, and his sister and her husband are a few years younger than he is. No idea on my fellow DM, I suspect late 40s.

If you find a common thread to hang on to, you can have a great relationship.

In this case, my aunt and uncle knew I was a huge weird nerd whose dad introduced him to D&D at 7 years old, so they thought to invite me when their daughter’s husband made a game for them.

Seven years later, we are still at it and I run a game for my friends as well.

These relationships can be nurtured, as all can. You just have to find and maintain the why’s.

Even people who don’t give a crap about birdwatching may still love to see the birds their old friends spot.

But to further your point, I don’t make much of an effort for those relatives that I don’t have much in common with.

This year’s Christmas present is a box of homemade fudge, rice krispie treats, and spicy chex mix, all homemade.

That’s the effort I put in for those I don’t have in my weekly or monthly life but are extended family.

I am very sorry to tell you that it’s quite likely you came to sentience just so you could eventually be killed by one Arthur Dent.
