I'm going to be really sad that there's no more Skeleton Crew to watch next week. I didn't think they nailed the finale a 100% (it probably needed a bit more room to breathe IMO), but they really sold the kids on hoverbike adventure at its core. Jude Law, the kids, and their parents were great!

While Andor is the best Star Wars series, and one of the best pieces of Star Wars media period, Skeleton Crew is a close second. I'm loving every minute of this show.

I asked my teenager to clean her room and said no devices until it was done. You'd think I shot the family dog or something.

@jacklaridian I'm back, but I don't think anyone else is here.

@artemis they did try to address it for a while after Endgame.

@artemis @bedirthan No, they definitely didn't, but The Falcon and the Winter Soldier makes it pretty clear that the existing power structures largely failed the returnees.

@artemis @bedirthan Losing 50% of your population in an instant should've caused a planetwide civilization collapse that would've killed millions more. That said, form what they alluded to, it doesn't sound like a pleasant time!

@artemis @bedirthan I kind of wonder if they had more plans for its aftermath, but then COVID happened, which not only upended their production and release schedules, but would also impact their appetite (as a major corporation) to explore the subject of a planetary disaster that killed millions. Apparently, The Falcon & the Winter Soldier had a biological terrorist attack plot that was scrapped due to the pandemic.

@darnell@one.darnell.one @tchambers @fediversenews @darnell@darnell.day I'd be more worried about BS running out of money before anything. Microblogging was barely profitable before Musk took over X and now the for profit pot has to be divided three ways? Plus, Musk and Zuck effectively have regulatory capture for the next four years...

I saw the commercial for Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, and I have to say, most of those musical acts appeal to people who can't stay up to midnight anymore.

OK, that's enough news this morning. Everyone, post some of your favorite Dragon Magazine covers. Here's mine, from Issue 126 by Daniel Horne. I didn't actually encounter this piece in Dragon Magazine; I saw it repeatedly used by TSR in other promotional materials and fell in love with it.

My 6-year old is trying to learn how to draw a maze dungeon by watching @jpcoovert’s most recent YouTube video. I really need him to get this down so he can do cartography for me!

Well, here’s the final result. Pretty good for a first try using regular Crayola markers!

Who's off for the remainder of the year? This guy!👍

@jacklaridian A kid who used to be in my daughter's class goes to that school and one of their parents is on staff there. It's by my house, so I heard all of the sirens.

School shooting at Abundant Life Christian School. Multiple injuries reported.

@jacklaridian 90s me would've called them sell outs!

Welcome to all the warhammer.social folks joining dice.camp - it's nice to see so many pictures of painted minis (something I have absolutely no talent or patience to do)!
