Another Study of the Contard Mentality

   In a previous post, I blogged about a study that was done by the University of Cambridge regarding how extremists think. A second study by researchers at Ohio State University confirms what most reasonable people already knew. Conservatives are filled with gullible, credulous idiots that won't believe verified facts but every moronic conspiracy theory is embraced like it was carved onto stone tablets by God himself. Here's the video.

  What more is there to say? And the worst part about it is that there are people like Trump, the GOP, Fox News, Newsmax and OAN that take advantage of these poor dumb motherfuckers in order to advance their agenda of undermining democracy. These cocksuckers talk like they're patriots when they're nothing more than manipulative propaganda monkeys. The only people they want to enjoy freedom is themselves. The rest of us can go to fucking Hell. And when I say us, I'm including the average MAGA maggot. If they think, even for a nanosecond, that their enablers are working on their behalf, they're sadly mistaken. They're being conned into supporting fascism and these people are stupid enough to do it in the name of "freedom".

Gwar, The Rave & the Demogorgon (D&D)

   The Loot Crate Demogorgon is mine. No one else bid on it. I've paid for it but it has yet to be shipped. This is the Dungeons & Dragons Demogorgon not that creature from Stranger Things. That thing just some pretender to the True Prince of Demons title. Here's a pic of the Loot Crate Demogorgon. This will go nicely with my 4th edition Orcus miniature.

 


The Glow in the Dark and Ancients gates have arrived and been added to my Cthulhu Wars collection. I'm hoping that the free d2 stretch goal for the Two Swords Village Orbidice set will be unlocked soon.

  I've purchased a ticket and parking pass to the Nov. 4th Gwar concert at The Rave. I've told my niece, Annie, and her husband John about the concert via Twitter. I @'d both Gwar and The Rave in the tweet. Gwar responded and The Rave liked the tweet. This is the first time that a metal band, or any other celebrity, responded to one of my tweets. I have to admit I'm rather stoked about it.

  Other than some online shopping, not much else has been going on in my life. I have some medical related bills I need to take care of. I'm going to start shunting money into my Simple account so I can pay those bills off and get them off my back. Setting the money aside might be somewhat difficult since my hours at work have been reduced. Hopefully, my hours will return to normal soon.

Cthulhu Wars, Kickstarter & eBay

   I've purchased some new items for Cthulhu Wars. An H.P. Lovecraft bust 1st player marker and the Prophetess have been added. My other HPL marker will now be used as the Eidolon in the game. The Loyalty cards for the Eidolon, Prophetess and the 8 unique High Priests have been downloaded from the Petersen Games website and printed. I've purchased a set of 22 3D printed plastic gates for the game as well as completing my set of Colour Out of Space gates. When I downloaded the Omega Master rulebook for Cthulhu Wars, I found that two more gates had been added to the chart, a Glow in the Dark gate and a gate in the color of the Ancients faction.

  These two gates are harder to come by because they were only available as stretch goals for earlier Cthulhu Wars Kickstarters. While there's a possibility that the Ancients gate would be added to the standard gates package if the company decided to make more sets, the Glow in the Dark gate won't be made again. Luckily, I found a seller on eBay that was selling a Glow in the Dark gate and promptly bought it. I messaged said seller and asked if he would be selling an Ancients gate some time in the future. He sent me a link to his auction for said gate and I purchased that gate as well. They're in mail right now and I'm tracking the shipment. When my orders from The Game Steward arrive, I'll have quite the Cthulhu Wars collection. About the only things I don't have at the moment are the alternate game maps like Primeval, Shaggai, the Library of Celeano and Yuggoth.

  The Spiral Dice and Hexacube Kickstarters have encountered delays. The Go Dice Kickstarter has been dealing with a transistor shortage because of the pandemic. I'm currently the high, and only, bidder on a Loot Crate Demogorgon figure on eBay. This thing is sweet. If I win it, I'll have to find a place to display it.
