This is actually true. You will get better at designing.

Are you a UK #ttrpg creator who's never Larped? Well I think you should, mostly cos it's awesome but also cos it'll make you better at designing ttrpgs~ One option is DreamLands #Larp , we're very welcoming to newbies! Www.dreamlandslarp.co.uk

That's £25 in real money 😂

How would I get through a day without AI? Well for me that would mean not having to hear about its latest planet wrecking/labour savaging/economy collapsing nonsense. So... Pretty happily? Maybe even delightedly? Great comments BTW.

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

Seriously, ai is just in the way. Reddit and niche forums, and even YouTube are so much more helpful. Kind men from india have bailed me out by explaining some specific thing on YouTube more times than I can count.

Reminded why I don't read TTRPG feeds. If your player has a phone out at the table, you may feel they are not being respectful. Is your player paying attention? Is the question you're trying to answer. If they have some sort of struggle with attention then the phone may be helping them _focus_.

Let me offer my services. Post a position in the replies and I will make a strong right-wing/conservative/liberal argument against it. If you want you can specify what flavour of opposition you would like.

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.

this issue at hand isn't whether or not Jennings is a transphobe in his heart, it's that he decided to take time out of his day to respond to polite criticism from a trans woman with a much smaller platform than him with a shitty joke that subsequently blasted her so far as to get global coverage

The ‘Jeopardy!’ host made it absolutely clear where he stands once again.

Yeah. :) That does bring a little joy to my heart too. :)

Not gonna lie, I remain delighted that Bluesky management hates that the platform was immediately co-opted by artists and queers.

It’s as official as I can make it.

Does anyone remember that block list for accounts that are pretending to be festivals but are actually a cover for AI scrapers?

I don't talk about COVID. I will say: I was on one of the last flights out of Shanghai in Feb 20. I shut my TTRPG club a week before "let 'er rip Johnson" tried to kill everyone. My wife got issued expired PPE. My mum volunteered for the vaccine trials Get vaccinated. Don't socialise when sick.

That would require men to genuinely listen to women. Something men seem to struggle with, regardless of their political beliefs.

We need to return to traditional masculinity, to the time when real men took their kitties for walkies so they could smell smells.

I don’t think this product should exist, but I will NEVER believe that they can’t come up with better anti-tampering tech given the resources available to them. It’s just not an imperative. The glasses exist to erode and erase consent.

Pervert glasses still pervy.

This is actually one of my favourite arguments/analogies to bring up in discussions around immigration and open borders

open all borders. stop having them be closed 🇺🇦🇱🇹🇵🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿@dov.bsky.social · 2d ago

There is no argument for limiting migration between countries that could not be contrived to be an argument for limiting migration between cities.

Well there are two possibilities: A) below Or B) PE loading up once good brands with debt and selling them off, PLUS the price gouging of using "inflation" to whack up prices leading to a general increase and cost of living crisis And documented strategies like: 1/

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

The 4th most successful silage contractor in all of south west County Carlow

When Doc Martens reputation cratered due to the drop in quality, having got rid of the original factory and workers, they then opened a new factory making the same crappy boots as the Chinese ones, but charge a premium for a "made in UK" label. It's a con.

'human caused' feels like it just sort of emerges from the human body like an ooze, rather than a small number of highly influential political and corporate players actively decided to keep a dangerous fuel prominent in society when we could ditch it way faster than we are right now

Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

Something I love doing is talking about fossil fuels as "19th century technology". Coal plants and gas plants are machines from CENTURIES ago. The combustion engine is silly. It gets people thinking about what modernity means but also, importantly, it makes fossil fuel guys mad online

🧵 Why you should include firearms and other technology in your #dnd game... 1. Because they're historical - Gunpowder is older than many of the common weapons in D&D. Rapier, longbow, and even halberd are more recent inventions than gunpowder.
