In "Frozen," Elsa sings about "frozen fractals all around," which implies that the story is set in at least 1975, as that is when Benoit Mandelbrot used the word. This means that Elsa and Anna likely live long enough to see their story as a Disney film. In this essay I will

I have hired Saga for character art and maps, and I have never been disappointed. Professional, on time, takes direction well.

Saga Mackenzie@sagamack.bsky.social · 14h ago

Did you know, I ALSO do character sheets? It's true! (and also badges/crests, page elements and some layout as well). I am VERY open to commissions right now, so if anyone needs anything along those lines, drop me a message to saga.mackenzie.art@gmail.com or sagamack on discord!

I think it's obvious at this point (and the recent EA deal underscores this) that what now drives venture capital acquisitions is looking at the employee balance sheet. If a company has lots of highly-paid employees, buy it, then do layoffs. Juice stock price with the "savings," then bankrupt. +

One of the great joys of running a Vampire chronicle for people who have never played Vampire before is tossing them into a stew of contradictory conspiracies. Vampires love to present themselves as erudite and sophisticated, but they have very little evidence about their own supernatural world. +

"Bluesky CEO addresses liberal bubble" Translation: We don't think we can make enough money if we aren't fostering outrage and giving bigots targets to spew their hate at

I read about Amnesty International complaining that if they actually defended trans people, they would be sued into oblivion by JKR, and I think they missed the fact that they have now destroyed themselves: Nobody is gonna give time or money to an org that folds to pressure on human rights.

Our #whatwefightfor campaign continues with Quality Assurance worker Meri Sutton-Hatcher! "Our expertise, creativity, and love of games can NEVER be replaced. I'm fighting for AI protections because new technology should empower our jobs, not threaten them.”

WotC finally announced DARK SUN 5e. (I have known about this for about a year.) The irony is that I have zero interest in working with a company that is "excited" about using GenAI and doing deals with transphobes.

I'm gonna guess that we are now about a month out from someone catching a "domestic terrorism" charge for cutting down a Flock camera

In my game industry work I have never been a lead, so everything I learn about leadership is by watching other people work (or make mistakes). I have some Observations. +

Today, we are launching the WoWGG-CWA #whatwefightfor campaign, a series focused on our workers pushing for a more equitable Blizzard behind the scenes.

Well, I wrote a birthday post with a personal interest thread about a Ravenloft dropped piece of content that I picked up and ran with, and then the browser reset on me and lost everything, so, have a good day everyone!

I've been thinking along the lines of the quoted post here for a bit. A ton of our foodborne illness problems are the result of having a farm sector that relies on underpaid, unprotected labor that makes it impossible for workers to function in sanitary conditions +

Lev Mirov@thelionmachine.bsky.social · 3w ago

Feces often contaminates food when workers are 1) not provided proper toilets 2) not allowed to take breaks 3) using untreated waste water near/on crops (very bad!) 4) not provided adequate bathrooms in on-site housing 5) not cleaning workspace properly All of which is NOT on workers.

I keep seeing ppl post about Hegseth's new T testing for the military and how they are gonna give troops supplemental T to turn them into raging assholes, and tons of comments about how hormones work or how this is fulfilling a mythology or how it is aimed at a patriarchal military but... +

Watching a lot of older shows and so many have a plot that could be summarized as "creepy dude pursues uninterested woman who settles for slightly less creepy dude if it gets her away from the first guy"

What are we fighting for at Blizzard Entertainment? WoWGG member John Hartzell walks us through it @cwaunion.bsky.social @videogameworkers.bsky.social

I see that over in Clacton (in Britain), they're running a joke candidate against Count Binface.

This is how you do reporting on video games.

So @keith-baker.com I read your Eberron article about the Undying Court essentially being a soul gestalt that generates divine power, which got me ruminating on how kalashtar are a mini-gestalt of two souls that generates psychic power, which raises interesting possibilities about psi/divine borders

A Statement from WoWGG-CWA on Today's Layoffs at Microsoft.

As we go through another round of video game industry layoffs, remember that this is not because "those games suck" or "that platform sucks" or "those devs suck." It is because of the relentless demand for profit. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus... +

Xbox's CEO wants its games to cater to 'more than a billion people each day', or 24 times more than the peak population of Steam, which is delusional

Alternate title: Does Xbox CEO Asha Sharma know what a billion is?

The huge wave of industry layoffs has me feelin' spicy today. Challenging to maintain a state of equilibrium.

Some dark humor in dissenting justices saying that birthright citizenship "devalues" their citizenship, when U.S citizenship ain't worth much these days, thanks partially to their own actions

While I was playing some older-edition D&D with chums recently, I was thinking about a specific character type that isn't really represented in the game. It is admittedly an oddball, but D&D has developed its share of oddballs over time. +

Well a wrote a whole thread to tell @aquela.com what I liked about City of the Spider Queen, which I finally got to run after 24 years, but Bluesky autofilled the tag to the wrong person, so I wound up deleting it. Anyway, in the unlikely event that Mr. Wyatt even sees this and cares, good work.

Just came within six inches of getting t-boned while turning left on a protected arrow by a guy in a white Honda who ran the red

In drafts, writers sometimes just call characters A, B, C, D and then name them later, and sometimes just pick names to match the letters, and once you see it you cannot unsee it Like Resident Evil Village: Alcina, Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela Dimitrescu

Billionaires: "I'm going to spend enough money to end world hunger twice over in order to performatively staple my dick to a wall with a staple gun branded 'racism and transphobia.' Also everyone just gives me money" Indie journo: "Found this chud's list of brownshirts, pls tip so I can eat today"

What's darkly funny about this to me is that these so-called "tech titans" all think there will be "an event" and then we will live in a Fallout/Mad Max/Wasteland world, but they also claim to be huge fans of Roman history, the empire that nobody can agree "this is when it fell." +

Douglas Rushkoff discloses key question by tech titans when he was paid to address the group on 'the future of technology'. Took only minutes to get to "How do I maintain authority over my security force after 'the event'?" www.abc.net.au/news/2022-10...
