I like itchio as a platform but it’s been clear to me for a while that the people running it are in way over their heads in several ways and absolutely refuse to admit it, and that if nothing changes the site is gonna die a slow death due in large part to their intransigence

what’s that? the mustache twirling company run by various people who have been openly villain monologuing for years has the opportunity to do the right thing? oh! what will they decide to do? deep down… i know there’s still good in the corporation governed by capitalist interests… i can sense it…

went into the desert on a spiritual retreat, no cell phone service, no WiFi, no talking, plant medicine… everyone around me having these profound realizations. meanwhile I had a detailed dream about the development of Galadriel and Celeborn’s romance from his perspective. I’m built different 😭

Was offline in the literal desert so just now getting to repost but am here to say I had SO much fun talking with Amaan about GUDIYA! It was a delight to be in conversation and I can’t wait for more of this series!

Didn't realize I was gonna be THAT quick about posting it but here's the video. We talk and review GUDIYA, a Bluebeard's Bride Actual Play by @namelessdomain.bsky.social . @dungeonminister.bsky.social was a wonderful guest and an excellent person to talk to about this. youtu.be/aOsztTqlu4Y

Had a fantastic long ass conversation with @dungeonminister.bsky.social about an Actual Play we feel you SHOULD watch. And a classic film recommendation. Coming soon.

I gotta be real with y'all, this website is gonna suck forever if people don't learn the difference between discourse and a conversation. And this goes both ways.
