She, 40s, California/Ohlone land, Pagan, nerd, library cataloger, Virgo liek woah, introverted, sarcastic. I have Monkey Island brainrot like you wouldn't believe. If you saw I added you to a list, those are just for my own reading filter purposes.
This was banned in California way back in 1995 (the first US state to do so), which gave me some culture shock when I started traveling to other states as an adult. (Of course I remember hearing this asked as a kid before the ban.)
Mr. HP@isidoresdragon.bsky.social · last wk.So once upon a time when you went into a restaurant, you were asked the question "smoking or non-smoking?" (It was a pointless question because smoke still drifted over.) Anyway, smoking in public places generally doesn't fly anymore, and I don't get asthma attacks nearly as often as I once did.
I think my first ttrpgs were... 1. AD&D 2e 2. Call of Cthulhu (whatever edition would have been ca. 1994) 3. Star Wars 4. Vampire: the Masquerade 5. Changeling: the Dreaming (only LARP though)
Bodb@iachbodb.bsky.social · last wk.uh... in no order, because I have no idea anymore 1. Shadowrun 1e 2. D&D 1e 3. Rifts 4. GURPS 5. Melee

Holy crap! Today's the day! Please Allow 5-7 Days for Justice's author, @amfosterwrites.bsky.social, has clearly spent a few too many years as a spreadsheet jockey. Our hero's brush with galactic bounty hunting is futuristic and funny, but the bureaucracy he navigates is uncomfortably contemporary.

Update on the use of AI text in Chaosium Community Content programs @drivethrurpg.com. TL/DR: Don't use it in our programs. AI is not art. It is theft from you and every writer who has gone before you, repackaged dishonestly and shamelessly as original. www.chaosium.com/blogupdate-o...

Pistol Shrimp Games - Demo OUT NOW!@pistolshrimpgames.com · 2w agoTimes are tough and Hayes has gotta keep the lights on somehow.
For safety reasons, I treat all baked potatoes as if they were loaded.
Monkey Island released on this day in 1990. Still my favourite of all the Lucasfilm adventures. As a child, there was something transportive about the game and I spent a lot of time thinking about the world, characters and puzzles even when not playing it. Now I’m replaying them with my children 🥲
Also, folks could just hide anything in the code they wanted to. Cryptominers, spyware, keyloggers... and since everyone decided to deskill themselves, the ability to find and detect that stuff will vanish. It was a fun hobby while it lasted, now it's just a race to see who can burn the most jungle.

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.
1995, man. I don't think any of us really took the "surfing" metaphor all that seriously (and let us not speak of "the information superhighway"), but on the other hand it did kinda feel like that sometimes.

Do you want to help block AI from being normalized as part of the TTRPG industry? Yes? Great! Hasbro corporate leadership would like to stuff it into your face, while the actual creatives don't want it. So go sign the support letter for the D&D and Magic Workers unionizing.

Hmmm. Star Wars, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Robin Hood (1973), Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Alice in Wonderland (1951), and Dumbo are all contenders. If we count movies that ended up on MST3K, I've surely seen some of them dozens of times, but not unedited.
