We interrupt this broadcast for an important bulletin!

Against the 70s will return January 3rd.

Black Christmas, I gave you my heart.Black Christmas, I gave you my heart.

As the title says, no post today. I know I said I wanted to use the weekends to finish up posts, but I didn’t count on Christmas arriving on the weekend, despite every calendar in existence trying to warn me. I tried to finish it, I really did, but my family got Mario Party Superstars and Gang Beasts 1 and I got Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, and look, if I had willpower I wouldn’t have diabetes. Anyway, hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend, and I’ll be back on January 3rd with a new post and several new write-ups for the Cypher System. What’s the movie? Well, you’ll just have to see, but it’s one that’s philosophically very important for the Against the 70s concept, and one that is extremely important to me historically, developmentally, emotionally, and existentially. So no pressure on me or anything.

See you next week!

Merry Christmas from Billy and the gang!Merry Christmas from Billy and the gang!


  1. ETA 1/11/24: We still play Gang Beasts but I don’t think we’ve played Mario Party since this particular Christmas. I like Mario Party! Now I want to play Mario Party.↩︎
