Boss? Yeah, it’s me. Yeah, listen, not gonna make it in today. I’m — yeah. Yeah it’s … right. Our age of bronze. Yep, exactly. Mid-collapse at the very least. I know. Yep. Alright. I’ll talk to you later. Bye.

Genuinely fascinating exploration of a strange game meant to act as a force multiplier for the US military
NEW VIDEO: In 2006 a Washington DC based think tank hired future lead designers of Civilization and XCOM to make a strategy game based on a documentary about nonviolent protest. 20 years later I'm here to tell you why. youtu.be/dmL7Ph4Us8o
people just want to feel appreciated, seen, and like their work contributes to a goal. they don't want to feel like burdens for asking for help. they don't want to feel siloed away from the team. they want to feel like they belong. no technical skill of mine compares to basic courtesy.
I fundamentally do not know how to square the politics whereby Democrats will essentially have to tell the American people that because they (the voters) made an extremely stupid decision, they need to lower their expectations substantially for the foreseeable future, but here we are.
The ashcan of Universel Riche is available for five measly dollars. All sales line the pockets of @adegenart.bsky.social. erinking.itch.io/universel-ri...

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.
RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>
There will always be people who appreciate what YOU make, it just might take them a while to find you.
Was Tyranny a victim of bad timing or was it a bit too honest about the subtext of its audiences’ fantasies? @duncanfyfe.net on a game that has remained topical, trenchant… and rather neglected. remapradio.com/articles/ten...

Morton Salt Girl is a merry fellow; Bright blue her label is and her shoes are yellow
Bet you didn't know that the Little Morton Salt Girl is an immortal being who existed before there was life on Earth.
YOUR PRIMARY DEMOGRAPHIC IS GETTING OLDER AND MORE AND MORE OF IS CAN'T SEE SHIT. ALSO EVEN IF THAT WERE NOT TRUE YOU SHOULD MAKE IT BIGGER FOR THE FOLKS WHO NEED IT ANYWAY.
The other day the algorithm fed me 1 part of a 5 part series of some woman targeting a romantasy writer with “why I think her book series is AI generated” and it was just…vibes. With a caveat that said “just my opinion” Trying to ruin someone’s career over vibes AI has created collective paranoia
The way that everyone sees fantom AI in original work now is such a fucked up secondary downstream AI nightmare consequence. People can’t critically identify real art any longer and so everything gets accused of not being original. I don’t know how we climb out of this hole.
"Garfield" but it's a cross between garfish and cloverfield.

You should be embarassed to be in middle age and doing this “my dad could beat up your dad” type shit. Unfortunately this seems to be the majority of American middle aged men bsky.app/profile/down...
He will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"

Neither Sun Tzu nor Clausewitz have much to say about becoming sexually obsessed with one’s enemy, which seems to happen quite a lot these days
You know why nobody can seem to find evidence of Bigfoot anymore? It's because they've been raptured. That's right, it turns out that Bigfoot was the only true Christian.
It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

From earlier this week, I wrote about how the manosphere scam works and how the GOP has adopted those same tactics for itself www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
i'm not arguing about covid lockdowns in 2026 bitch get a hobby. take up collecting coins. and you better do it now bc they stopped making pennies
I think we can go further. Girl Frame is a market indicator for the whole hobby. Trans women are an important demographic and our money is vital to an independent game's success.

as a game designer I strongly feel that one of the most brave and transgressive things you can do is publish an ashcan edition of your game that actually looks like garbage. the rent is too high, we need worse looking ashcans
This tornado is evidence that the ENNIES have lost the mandate of heaven
@friede.bsky.social setting the Contested Roll segment up for Brennan Lee Mulligan to argue against DnD being the best system for actual play (by way of lingua franca) is really brilliant (and mischievous) in my opinion
