Towards a Unified Theory of Modern Wargames
Somewhere in the wilds of Social Media fellow sci-fi author and fellow wargamer AND fellow YouTube wargamer, Mike DiBaggio, posited that: “Oldhammer is best hammer, and it’s more than just nostalgia. At a small scale, too much and over-fine detail is bewildering to the eye. Just like the Heroquest...
Sympathetic Characters – Generally Speaking
Gave a BBC period piece a shot, and it was okay. If you know what it is, I don’t have to name it. If you don’t know what it is, then I don’t want to name it. Speaking generally, it’s a spy show in which we are supposed to...
How Convenient
Just as Big Pharma begins to run up against the limits of what profit they can wring out of mandated Nuremburg Violations, they discover that the flu is still a thing after all. So Big Pharma gets their annual injection of cash, and now they can roll multiple compounds...
On the Morality of the Vaxxoons
Forgive the leet speek. Things just keep getting crazier, and we intellectual dissidents need to practice dodging the authorities now while we still can. Caesar has enlisted the Church to help convince Refusniks to surrender to the will of Saint Fauci and submit to the injections of genetic scrambler...
A Tale of Two Fandoms
I’m not paying much attention to the Current Big Thing, but you can’t hardly escape it. It dominates conversations around the national water cooler (read: sociable media) and word filters through my tepid defenses. Looking at conversations around the Global-Homo Sports Cavalacade and Babel Tower Pre-Game Show, it’s clear...
Take Shelter
Not sure I can recommend this flick, but it’s worth talking about why. First, the good news: It’s one of the most interesting character study films I’ve seen in a while. For those who don’t know, a character study is a film whose overt plot is just an excuse...
Checking Sam’s Corpse for Pocket Change
Some of you people think way too small. Been following a series of threads on various sociable media platforms over the last few weeks that feature speculation about post-crack-up America. A common strain among such threads are conjectures about what the looting of the American corpse will look like. ...
The State of Modern “Medicine”
The following conversation, which happened in Minecraft, is real. Only the names have been changed to protect the retarded. INT. DOCTOR’S OFFICE – A CALLOPE PLAYS SOFTLY IN THE DISTANCE Hello, Doctor. Nice round red nose you’re wearing. Really complements your rainbow wig. > Thank you. You must be...
Caesar and the Eucharist
Let’s talk about the parts no one else talks about, shall we? The people who deny the Real Presence – that is, the Catholic knowledge that when Christ held bread before the twelve and said, “this is my body,” he was not speaking metaphorically or symbolically – don’t really...
Sign of the Times
Spotted this at a little Mom and Pop diner in southwest Michigan. This is how they reserve tables to allow for “social distancing” in accordance with Dollar Tree Hitler’s diktats. It was the only indication anything fake was going on in the world. The table full of good old...
