I've been making changes in my personal life that I haven't spoken very publicly on, but one thing I do want to be public is that my close friends call me Bea now. And if any of you want to call me Bea or B, that would make me very happy. <3 But no pressure, I won't be upset if I hear Martin.

I will not fed post But I will say that I need all energy to become clean we need to shoot for that we need to shoot for a world with green energy so we can actually start implementing technological advances that can work to undo environmental damage that would require large amounts of energy to use

On Thursday, humidity levels across the stretch from D.C. to Boston were about as high as notoriously humid cities such as Miami and New Orleans. In New York, peak humidity was approximately equal to that of the Amazon rainforest. wapo.st/4w6OViB

What's up boys? Tabletop developer from the 90s here. I'm going to refer to players as "he", you know, for clarity.

They made such a big deal about their "NASApunk" aesthetics and then the entire game was the most "you are playing a video game" theme park shit in existence. Here's Space Texas, land of the space cowboys. The sheriff has a mission for you to stop space cattle rustlers. Now welcome to Space Vegas

Starfield is almost three years old now and in that time I have yet to see a single piece of fanart or meme or anything about the contents of the game itself. The extent to which they spent years on that game only for it to be met with a resounding cultural disinterest is fascinating

Cis allies; brilliant time to wear a trans flag pin, badge, T-shirt, anything that implies you might be trans to weird creepy bigots. If you get hassled, don’t say that you’re not trans, please; simply state the truth, e.g. “I’m a woman and I am just trying to pee in private and in peace”.

Weird Alex@jackalpants.bsky.social · 5d ago

It's time again! Cis allies: if you can, please consider being chaff for us. Toilet hobbycops think like 10% of people are trans, and to overturn our segregation we need respectable cis people causing trouble on our behalf. Please wear a trans flag pin. Get in good trouble, as John Lewis put it.

This thir, 1000% agree with this point — also because the whole slop suffix originates from 4chan & anti-semitism. I go out of my way to not use it. It originates from "goy slop", which started with saying Jewish people controlled ultra processed food to make us slow. Then also became about media.

IggyMaid@iggymaid.bsky.social · 4d ago

The suffix of -like in describing games has been replaced by "slop" everything is slop now. Doom-slop, souls-slop, rogue-slop Can we move on from insulting everything that teams of people put passion & years of effort into by reducing it to x-slop Im tired of it Friendslop is just multiplayer ffs

I was just thinking about this video when a friend shared with me a link to an "egg cooking robot and synchronized toaster" that has raised almost more than 8x its goal on Kickstarter like... These people won't take the time to learn how to make eggs and toast the way they like? Really?

Given all of the recent genAI discussion, I wish to repost this.

It is so very frustrating to see otherwise progressive trans creators who actively have built up their community in a way actively to do grasswork efforts to push US more left Then See her constantly spout incorrect information about Hijra Other White trans people PLEASE read @taliabhatt.itch.io

spent all day thinking about this godawful writing system from an x-men comic. just spend like 5 seconds imagining trying to hand write with it, i implore you

100% true.

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

A lot of people are talking about the subreddit's asinine rules against "self-promotion" (which can include "simply talking about a game in any context") but I will also say, personally, that I have never seen any RPG-related reddit post that made me go "oh wow, they're cooking over there"

It's a fairly interesting post. www.reddit.com/r/rpg/commen...

Signing a Seven Part Pact to screw over the people I'm working with and erasing their contributions to the project we worked on

she's doing a crowdfund rn and has literal pull quotes from people like BLeeM and Quinns (of the Quest lineage) because apparently her not doing anything to show growth or change is all it takes to be trusted with thousands of dollars.. again..

The problem isn't whether 7-Part Pact is or isn't an "ambitious" TTRPG. It's the fact that the designer is a literal PROVEN egomaniac that will DIRECTLY lie, manipulate, and abuse goodwill to get praise & adoration quite literally stolen from others. STOP SUPPORTING THIS

"Our legal department is hemorrhaging money. We have two choices. End our partnership with the most beloved community resource we have, or stop sending DMCA takedowns to people who post our art on Pinterest"

Ngl dog, "It costs too much money to DMCA people who post our artwork" is not an amazing defense when you could just not do that.

Yesterday, Archives of Nethys announced the end of our commercial licensing agreement. We have heard the outpouring of community feedback and want to reassure everyone that they will continue to operate under the Community Use Policy. More details in the blog: buff.ly/8iWTArh

While I get that one person handling the community emails for Paizo is likely overwhelmed, at the moment, not sending them will not communicate how bad the community thinks this decision is. I can appreciate Maya's situation and would, strongly suggest, that emails sent be kept polite.

this is my deep dive on baked beans and the myth of new england cuisine (bonus tangents: the death of pythagoras, the invention of thanksgiving). i had a lot of fun writing and researching it buttondown.com/theswordandt...

Tal Lavin@swordsjew.bsky.social · 4w ago

every single dish you think of as new england cuisine was more or less propaganda by a bunch of white ladies called the boston cooking school who wanted to minimize immigrant changes; baked beans were not v sweet and fairly rare. basically they super hated the irish and italians

absolutely none, as powerful people usually do, and considering she is siccing the SJG legal team onto broke freelancers, its game

hey did Jay Dragon ever face any consequences for the Yazeba’s/Steve Jackson nonsense? or was it just… forgotten.
