How soon till we stop measuring a movie's success by box office total? Seems to me that is going more and more the way of the dinosaur with streaming picking up the slack.

Don't suppose you remember the Robin Williams movie "Toys"? That seems far more accurate.

I mean, yeah. It's all of that, but even more than that, it's just a really fun toy. It's a poseable little guy with a giant suit of armor that turns into a monowheel bike. And it can all connect onto other guys to charge them up and just looks really cool doing it. It is a fantastic toy...

I was very nearly in a car accident today. not an unusual event as I spend my days at work driving through KC, but this was different. Was on K40, the backroad from Lawrence to Topeka. Shawnee Heights Road intersection. A 55 mph 2 lane highway t juncture. I was heading west, a nice car...

Keep in mind that Karol there isn't even 30. And she's been married to a man over 35 year her senior for some time. She's been fully groomed to be what she is. A pretty and petty distraction. I don't know who her parents were, but they should have done a better job of protecting her as a...

BTW, since no one else reported it. Donald Trump's response to the protests was to post an AI video of him flying a jet fighter over the protests and literally dumping jive over the people protesting him. All while wearing a crown. If any talking head at Fox News ever says one goddamn thing...

Very fair. I am extremely tired of that old chestnut.

And here's the other thing to remember. These were huge and very peaceful protests. I saw no instances of violence, no reports of any sort of inappropriate behaviors or the like. And surely they would have been amplified by the right wing media. But say all of this does nothing as some...

Yeah it does get real tiresome when your side plays within the rules and the other side pisses all over them.

Sounds like Heretical Fishing, another very chill Isekai book. Back on with Matt Dinniman, his not DCC book, Operation Bounce House, comes out February. It's a reverse thing where the protagonist has to defend his home and world from isekai type invaders from Earth. It seems like it'll be a...

And that's exactly what they're going to do

Bluntly put, these tariffs and this economy spell the end of toys for collectors. I'm sure small, baby toys will still be available, but these prices are unsustainable and this business model cannot continue. If collectors are priced out, imagine what every parent in the country is going...

neither did i. I thought they'd save his dumb ass.

So, a lot going on in the DCC space. There's a Backerkit for a comic telling the story of Florin, another delver who was on the Top 10 with Carl and Donut. And, a new kickstarter from the author himself...

This has killed the Kansas wing of the Young Republicans group. Multiple people, including the head, have been ousted from any roles in the party and local leadership has stated the group is dead.
