So for those who might care, The Seafoam Knight has a blog on tumblr.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica :D
What can I say? After a slowish start, it entirely lived up to the hype. :)
Also, the payoff was completely satisfying, enough that I think it may have erased some of my payoff-related Evangelion bitterness. -
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Yoooooouuuuuuuuu NJ!
I'd like to congratulate the infuriating combination of entropy, self interest, corruption, apathy, and unintended consequences that turn our legal system into a racket for squeezing arbitrary amounts of money out of semi-randomly chosen victims on extracting tribute from me today. I hope you choke on it.
And on behalf of myself and everyone else ( Read more... ) -

If it doesn't like your wish, it will veto it and use the wish itself, and that will not turn out well at all. It will do the same if you refuse to use your wish. Your best bet ( Read more... ) -
Existential Lego Angst
Apparently, when one watches The Lego Movie while under the influence of a mild cold, one tends to have dreams of existential uncertainly and angst that are rather similar to dreams that accompany certain LARPs.
Now I want a Lego mechanic for Soul of the World. :p -
Social Media Macros
Emoticons and other social media conventions are, from a certain point of view, basically macros for expressing common sentiments and thoughts. They work because a critical mass of people find them useful enough to make them commonly understood.
From time to time, I find that the thought or feeling that I wish to express on social media is very ( Read more... ) -
Lucas ruined me for angsty characters
I've been thinking a bit about how my taste in RPG characters isn't quite the same as that of a lot of my friends. Then I ran across this, and I realized it's all Lucas's fault.
You All Forgot That Luke Skywalker is a BAMF:
