Just a guy. Also super into the social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower. Every week I stream the game, and post a new video where I interview players. He/Him. https://www.twitch.tv/hardclaim https://www.youtube.com/@hardclaim

"Well guys, you're gonna have to learn his f*cking name now." I went on a rant at the Zohran Mamdani event last night, against billionaires who spent millions to try and stop a guy whose name they refuse to correctly pronounce. Watch/share/subscribe to Zeteo: zeteo.com/subscribe

When you play Clocktower with strangers you establish histories that you can connect with a year later. “Sorry where did we meet?” “I was the Washerwoman that saw you as Sage but you were actually the Spy” “Oh but you were pithagged into Drunk and got Fang Gu jumped and then we won together!”

there is at least one genuine solution to finding friends as an adult with genuine connectivity that is both lightweight AND meaningful, and that's playing Blood on the Clocktower. I have at least 10 new friends in my life from 18 months ago and another 30-50 friendly acquaintances

Final Three Con was fantastic. You should attend if you get a chance. I'm not experiencing so much con drop thankfully, but it'll be a bit before a recover my energy. I'm already thinking of things to do next year!

Sometimes it feels like the whole world is full of fascists. And then you perform at a rock club in Tallahassee where you’re reminded there are more allies than you realize. Thank you, 926 Bar. I needed that reminder today.

AEW Revolution: I think people are blowing the ending out of proportion (and also skipping over the actual closing moments of the show). It wasn't great, but it's not near as bad as people are saying. With that said, it's undeniable that Toni/Mariah should have gone on last.

For some time now I've tried to not make my Clocktower games linger too long (2 hours max) but lately I've made an effort to speed up my games even more and I've loved the result. Max of 4 or 5 minutes for whispers, even in large games. The game was designed for this and it's great.

I love a good Clocktower discussion, but it's been clear multiple times over that the game's subreddit is quite often a terrible place for it.

Almost 20 years ago, a doctor on TV was asked, "Isn't 12 a little early for a kid to be deciding to transition?" And her response was, "It's old enough for them to decide that it's not worth living anymore if they can't." That was the only argument I ever needed to hear about gender affirming care.
