I need to share a take that could launch a few fireballs my way: Plastic dice with rounded corners are the best dice. ~Aesthetically~ your metal, sharp-edged resin, gemstone, or liquid core may be superior. They're better works of ~art~ but they're not better ~dice~.
Oh goodness gracious. This post on /r/malelivingspace, and then the post directly under it... I have to laugh, but DAMN.

Old news to art students, but I've just discovered Edward John Poynter and his stuff is absolutely captivating. Complete master of light and shadow.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

You know, there's a _special_ kind of inward cringe when posters on a _TTRPG discord_ imply that you talk too much. Like, yikes.

Wow, I just read a Robert E Howard story for the first time and I do not care for that man's writing. I see some of the spark that launched Conan into an ever-franchise (the mix of pulp fantasy with cosmic horror), but so much else of his writing is honestly awful.

Oh cool. Google maps is enshittifying. Dear Google, you've been my go-to mapping tool for more than a decade. I've happily engaged with your systems (even the advertising portions of them), but this? This will drive me off your product and into the arms of a competitor. Let. Us. Shut. These. Off.
