Distant Worlds Final Fantasy arrangements range from "definitely not my favorite version of this song" to "i would be okay with this being the last song i hear before i die"

what an incredible flex for Rihanna to bring out no guests, especially after all the speculation. she is a main event, she's a whole ass show. just her and the michelin men. i respect the fuck out of that.

It's actually impressive that Big Man managed to win every single seasonal Splatfest like genuinely. What's even crazier is that despite having the majority vote we actually managed to beat out everyone in Tricolor, and that was usually the mode where mirror match hell was.

hello only other person on this website who likes the apoc players. what’s your top three fave scenarios of theirs?? 🎤 the world needs to know
@downton-not-downtown-smh hello I just wanted to say that this has been sitting in my inbox for months (😬) but I've been thinking about it The Whole Time. And I'm sorry I took so long to answer!! I've been battling my own personal lovecraftian horrors this summer and have finally emerged with a shred of sanity
1. A Residence at the Bay- I loooooove this scenario so much. This was my introduction to Jamesian horror and I fully intend to go down the M.R. James rabbit hole when I have some time. I actually listened to it before A Christmas Inheritance, which left me slightly confused by the end but didn't pose a huge problem (and made going back and listening to the first scenario all the more tragic). I'm very into the atmosphere of subtle but creeping dread that culminates in the realization that things are deeply wrong but you still have no fucking clue what actually happened. I think one of the players (Danaan?) said in an Instant San Loss episode that horror is at it's best when no explanation is offered, and that definitely rings true here. This probably also has my favorite batch of characters. The way McCuthcheon, Carraig-Muir, and Lady Bjalmier play off each other is so entertaining. The balance of truly disturbing moments, heartwrenching emotion, and insane humor is perfect (and really encapsulates why I'm so drawn to this podcast in the first place). Danaan is such a wonderful keeper, and I can't wait for An Uncommon Burial!!
2. Crimson Letters- This one is so zany and over the top, and has some of the moments that have made me laugh the hardest. It sports such an iconic cast of characters who would be standouts on their own but combine forces to become an infinitely entertaining force for chaos. The guest players gel super well with the main cast and the way it keeps dragging on and on very much has up late at a sleepover energy. I'm such a sucker for classic era cthulhu and this scenario is just very very solid. I have the keeper's handbook now so I'm excited to get to actually read through it! Really hoping I can run it for my game group one day. Abner Wick is a legendary NPC and Dom in general is very good at embodying a huge cast while still making them all feel fleshed out.
3. MTSK-37- Genuinely creeps me the fuck out!!! I listened to this before reading The Colour Out of Space so I was completely lost and had no idea what the threat was supposed to be. I'm actually very happy that's the way it worked out because I think the ultimate way to experience lovecraftian horror is to be thrown into the middle of it and just let it wash over you. The intra-party conflict is so delicious and the players did such a wonderful job at adapting these pre-made characters and making them their own.
Honorable mentions go to The Crack'd and Crook'd Manse (the one that started it all 🥺), The Moonchild (still trying to figure out exactly what happened aksjsks), and Unland (completely heartbreaking)

This is more a symptom of social media bubbles and the reduction of online activism to being about Posting Good then anything but I really have to wonder what the hell is it about Aaron Bushnell's self immolation specifically that drives as many out of pocket takes as I've seen on social media these past couple weeks

I have a full narrative running through my head of That One Time Ruby Got Worms (Really Bad). It ends with the household being thoroughly dosed for worms, but then Tommy comes back from London and is unaware of any of this. Ruby is mortifyingly embarrassed to have been infested like that, and makes everyone promise her that no one will tell Tommy, but at the same time, she's terrified He Too Got Worms (Really Bad) and won't tell anyone for the same reasons she tried to hide it, but all the vermicide dosing medicine is gone.
So she goes around smuggling goldfish into every room's water jugs and his glasses of water; he is vaguely tolerant, thinking it's Charlie playing some weird joke, until he absentmindedly swallows a fish at dinner then storms out in a hissy fit.
