When you make a tabletop RPG based on an existing franchise, make sure the rules support playing characters like these in the source material, including following their arc. This is a complaint about the Cosmere RPG. Applies go more licensed RPGs than it doesn't though.

I'm going to take a different approach on this! Though I'll probably talk about video games in the thread. Settlers of Catan. I think it's too tiresome and too random to be held in the regard it's held in. It's like someone made a slightly better Monopoly and the whole board game fandom went mad.

When evangelical Christians say that nonchristians have nothing keeping them from committing evil acts because they don't fear God, they are telling on themselves.

www.huffpost.com/entry/graham... I am so fucking tired of being right. Platner has been a mountain of red flags from the word go. Yes, Mills was a moderate. She also had a proven record of not having mountains of red flags. I'm so tired.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Oh holy fuck. #startrek #starfleetacademy

I really wish Americans would stop electing leaders whose openly stated policies they hate and have to have multiple backlash elections about when said leaders do exactly what they said they would.

Federal judge, appointed by Reagan, in 161-page opinion today in deportation matter: "There’s the issue of masks... To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police"

One of the huge running issues with our dialog today is that lies are free, while truth is behind a paywall.

@itch.io Are you going to address the mass deletion and shadowbanning of nsfw games?

Even if we were actually using cloning to bring back extinct species biologically, basically all endangered/extinct species you've heard of operate heavily on learned behaviors. That history - the behaviors learned from parents - are gone.

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

Guys. Guys guys guys. Everybody. The #wheeloftime TV show is amazing. It's absolutely beautiful, stunningly acted, incredibly queer and polyamorous, and made by people who are profoundly aware of both the strengths and weaknesses of the source material. You should watch it! It's amazing!

@governor.ca.gov This trans person voted for you, in both primaries and general elections, in every election you ran in while she lived in California, because of your stance on queer rights. I think, for that, I am owed an explanation, as are all your queer supporters. 1/2

This looks cool as anything, and I already have one of these games (Thirsty Sword Lesbians) and can say it sets some real high standards.

This collection of game is absolutely stellar. So many that I consider to be significant design landmarks, and literally the best designed game I have ever played or read. If these aren't on your shelf, you owe yourself this bundle.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

I pretty much finished reading through the Cosmere just in time to start Wind and Truth when it came out. I'm on Day 7 now. Real good shit. #brandonsanderson #cosmere

Just gonna say it. @gregrucka.com made me a comics fan with his run writing Batwoman in Detective Comics after Final Crisis. Going back and reading basically every story he ever wrote about Renee Montoya made sure I'd stay a comics fan.

On the first day of Christmas, my nemesis gave to me A deadly manchineel tree

It keeps getting funnier. Make them scared.

The Liberal Media strikes again! (What the fuck is the point of the New York Times these days?)

so in other words NYT editors held this until after the election

Honestly, the Trump nominee who worries me the most so far is RFK. For the most part, the appointees look like their incompetence will interfere with the harm they could do, but RFK in HHS is just... terrifying.

Null is, simply put, the best and the coolest and her designs are wonderful. You should hire Null for commissions.

Nullcasting@warp.zone · 2y ago

Friends! I am unemployed, which means that I have, like, a Million commission slots available! I'd share examples of previous commission work, but I only have permission to show that privately! ;^^ If you'd like to work with me, please reach out here or in the fancy form in my pinned!! #commissions

Sign of how disastrous the Vance VP pick has been: every single left-leaning outlet is hammering home "Trump-Vance candidacy."

Dear every media outlet, Don't do this.

hello. we are adding a "frequently asked questions" section to our website. we have a few clear examples, but are there any important questions you have always wanted to ask about cable two? feel free to Reply

It is pretty clear that the retail theft epidemic is overstated. But I'm pretty sure that what of it is real is in large part caused by stores cutting staff constantly, leaving them with less eyes on the ground and relying more and more on things like self checkout.

Don't do this to yourself. I'm definitely learning a lot of vocabulary, but I don't feel much closer to actually understanding French than I was 700 days ago.
