The fastest way to shut down my "freelance life means I have to constantly be working" thoughts is to remind myself that if I was a boss holding a worker to the standards I hold myself to, their union would hunt me for sport and nobody would blame them.

A theory:

Category: What caused this incident?

Category 1: Direct interference from the OIAR or one of its affiliates. (Bonzo, Needles, the person who reanimated Arthur Winstead)

Category 2: The location where it happened was marked. (Guy who turned into a tree, the charity shop, the liminal architecture)

Category 3: The victim walked into it on their own. (Violinist, dice guy, finance app guy)

Rank: What was the result of this incident?

Rank A: Net positive. There will be a price to pay. (RedCanary is the only A)

Rank B: Net negative. There is a benefit to reap. (Bonzo, Needles, dice guy, finance app guy, horror movie guy...)

Rank C: Net neutral. This incident balanced itself. (Guy that turned into a tree, violinist, charity shop)

Combined categories have more than one cause. RedCanary (23) went to a marked location, and chose to investigate the symbols they found. Gordon (23) chose to investigate the corpse, but was also affected by the cliffside location.

Combined ranks balance differently depending on whose perspective you take. Harriet (BC) was terrified of her reanimated husband, but Arthur had a balanced experience between being reanimated and losing parts of himself. Daria (BC) had a negative experience with Ink5oul, but balanced their own cost/benefit relationship with the tattoo. RedCanary (AB) had nothing but negatives after going to the Institute... but something else benefited from it.

-

Two notes:

1) Both dice guy and finance app guy successfully balanced their experiences as long as they rode the catastrophe curve between loss and profit. It was only when they tried to break the cycle that the final (deadly) negative blow came. This contrasts with the violinist, who reaped the benefits and paid the price willingly into old age.

2) The trailer with Sam's job interview was marked as Category 1, Rank B.

one thing i haven't seen samuel dalton theorists mention is that they never actually caught him. by the time the players escape the greenroom and get to the game changer set, the bomb is still there, but samuel dalton is not.

they don't catch him, they don't stop him, they don't send him back in time or anything. they just kind of defuse the bomb and move on to the end of the game. he is not mentioned again.

i've seen many theories about samuel dalton being "back," but he didn't actually go anywhere, as far as we know.

he might've been here the whole time.

Once you have enough followers, your blog functionally becomes a search engine stronger than Google. I posted a question about courts-martial in the Vietnam War and a lawyer DM'd me to chat. I posted about trying to find a particular news clip that aired a decade ago and someone had a link in the replies within an hour. The Internet has many horrors, but one colossal upside is niche experts can stumble on your questions and answer them for no reason other than love of knowledge

There's a local performance venue in my town that's getting shut down, and across local social media, the reaction is polarized between "omg I loved going to see all the bands, how could we lose such a major venue?" from eventgoers, and "FUCK those assholes, they never paid the performers, good riddance!" from local artists.

The one gig I did at that venue paid $30 for weeks of prep work, rehearsals, and a five-night run of our show. And I don't mean $30 a night, I mean $30 total. And I'm one of the few people I know who ever made a dime off this venue, despite how hard they marketed themselves as "local talent."

Anyway, I'm feeling petty about the whole situation, so let this be a reminder to performing artists: A shitty venue is the exact same as a shitty commissioner offering to pay in "exposure." The venue doesn't exist without the artists. Don't let them fuck you over in the name of "maintaining the local performance scene." If they can't pay the talent, they deserve to close, just like any other shitty business that mistreats their workers.

Swords rated by sexiness:

Broadsword <- Not for me but I guess if you're into bears

Rapier <- This one’s sexy but like a little too sexy. I wouldn't approach a rapier at a bar

Longsword <- Handsome but boring. Almost too boring to mention

Flamberge <- Huge show-off, kinda want to knock the flamberge down a peg, but in a sexy way

That’s all the swords I know thanks for coming

I got my collector’s edition The Black Dog CD and here are the photo cards it came with and some photos in the lyric booklet that I have not seen HQ versions of online yet.

I wish there was a high quality digital version of the last photo card. I haven’t seen it anywhere online so far.
