World-curious Canadian. Author of pulptastic fantasy, dark fantasy and even a bit of sci-fi-lite!

Mythology, folklore, indie games and horror movies are my jam, but this isn't a 'themed' account so I may talk about anything that's on my mind.

You know what I want (but am financially unable to create and thus make a free gift of?

A fantasy mockumentary following the misadventures of a group of medieval touring bards. Preferably with some fantasy races mixed in for extra drama

I've said it before (and I'm saying it again because I'm practicing to be an old guy who repeats his stories over and over) but I do not like the idea that adapting a book or comic or whatever into a movie/TV show is "bringing it to life".

Nah, the original work is what was alive. The movie is just official fan fic 😛

BREAKING: We just learned we WILL get a chance to testify to #BillC22's many problems; tune in June 2 at 3:30 EST to SECU committee.

The *only* reason this is happening is because so many of you have written your MP about #BillC22's problems; if you haven't sent a message yet, please do!

Someone on YouTube just said "name an album that has aged really well" and then named a 2024 album.

So, #fediverse, name an absolute banger of an album that absolutely has aged well. Share for a better sampler please 😀

I'll start...

Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction

It occurred to me today that Obi-Wan Kenobi watched Palpatine and his goon squad basically take over the galaxy, but still said "you will NEVER find a greater hive of scum and villainy" about Mos Eisley.

Dude must've REALLY hated that band

Just finished watching the Empty Man. The story didn't really excite or surprise me, but it was still kind of a mesmerizing slow burn. A couple intensely creepy scenes, eerie music, and above all some of the more genuinely stylish direction I've seen in the genre for a while. Would recommend.

Dear dark fantasy video games:

Enough with lands that have been ravaged by the blight, or contagion, or scourge, or whatever other synonym for 'plague that turns everyone into zombie-like cannon fodder' you've come up with for your low-effort post-apocalypse. I'm bored

So I have a question about evolution.

If, say, in the case of T-Rexes evolving into chickens (and if that isn't correct, I'm just using it as an example, apply your own more correct example), at what point do we say that T-Rexes went "extinct"? Because they kinda didn't, or at least there's no hard line where they did...?
