Cursed DVDs of Friday the 13th?! Brilliant! The frogurt is also cursed. I know a few episodes of the series are on YouTube. The quality isn't great (video quality--we all know about the show quality...), but that may scratch your itch for a little while, Chris.

I hope it's OK to put this here. I wrote a game called Fives Womens' Lives in which you each play one of Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, or Mary Jane Kelly. It's about their hopes and struggles. It's not about anyone else. https://tinstargames.itch.io/five-womens-lives I wrote this before Hallie Rubenhold's book came out, but changed some things in the light of it. All funds to the East End Women's Museum (https://eastendwomensmuseum.org/).

Im going to do something I normally hate and NOT use the internet to check, but: I’ve been listening to you guys for a long, long time. The person who mentioned that it was nice to see you guys in person reminded me of the like round-table discussions y’all hosted WAYYYY back in the day. Do those still exist online? I was just a wee lad when they were originally made but I have very clear memories of several of them. I think they were hosted on Google Hangouts if that gives an idea of the time frame we’re talking about lmao.

Well, I just watched the first episode of my Friday The 13th DVD box set. I loved the show but wow, the crime scene cleanup afterwards is a lot of work. But like Chris said, totally worth it 💀👍

The Spider Incident

I LOVE Savage Worlds! For me it strikes the perfect balance with just the right amount of crunch while still allowing for a lot of flexibility

I omitted Jack T*ipper because I didn't want to summon THEM to "come and knock on my door". See what happens, Chris? You open the gate to the Tripperverse and next thing you know, sailors with poisoned needles come a knockin'. And you just let your wife answer it?! You should know better. Don't come crying to me when your loved ones start being replaced by Dons Knotts in leisure suits, you brought this on yourself.

Release the Tripper cut you cowards!!

Adequately Excellent Entertainment

DUDES, continuing the trend of comments commenting on comments that are complements, y’all released SO MANY endorphins into my brain whith the mention of the whole Kids Incorporated thing. That conversation with Todd made me laugh so hard, and hearing that it made Chad laugh was a highlight of my morning (a morning I’ve been spending playing with a new kitten mind you), as well as making me remember the conversation and making me laugh all over again.

I just finished reading H. G. Wells' Island of Doctor Moreau, which turned out to be much more of a horror story than I thought it'd be. Moreau's a vivisectionist -- that's how he creates his dog-people and pig-people and all the rest. That naturally made me think of that chapter in Lonesome October when Jack rescues Snuff, definitely the only moment I can think of when I was glad that Jack the Ripper showed up -- and, guys, so, so often while reading Island I wanted Jack, his knife gleaming in the light, to show up in Moreau's little operating room of terrors. I don't hate characters in stories very often, but I HATE Doctor Moreau.

I'm so glad Chris enjoyed my description of Ball's Out. I do need to make a minor but oh-so-important correction, in case civilization collapses and this Patreon feed becomes one of the only references available to enable reconstruction: I said that when the balls are down thanks to gravity, the valve is closed, and opens in the presence of steam. This is incorrect. When the balls are down, the valve is open, and steam can move from the boiler to the pistons. The pistons spin the wheels (or whatever the load is) and also the balls. The faster the balls spin, the further up and out they go. The further up and out they go, the more they restrict the flow of steam to the pistons. This a negative feedback mechanism, providing an upper limit to the speed that the engine will turn the wheels/drive the load. The engineer can adjust the balls along the length of the valve lever, changing the amount of leverage required to close the valve, thus adjusting max speed.
