The ending of this made my eyes just, y'know, a bit wet.
the Mountain Goats@themountaingoats.bsky.social · 3w agoI think I’ve told this story before but if so well here it is again.
Lol, even the dystopian cyberpunk rentacop has an identification number on various parts of his battle armor, making this better than in many western countries.

Rise of Skywalker is a cheap shot, but some idiot here went and saw SOLOMON KANE in a theatre. The friend who came with me genuinely fell asleep while Solomon Kane was being crucified. Also, honestly, Suckerpunch.

I apologise in advance for the amount of not normal I will be about this game. I've believed in my heart of hearts that AWDA would return for over a decade now.
Luke Wildwoods@wildwoodsgames.bsky.social · last mo.Andrew & I are locked the fuck in, and y'all are not prepared for what's coming your way when this playtest packet drops. get braced for some fraught, bloody, weird ambitious character and community drama, all you sickos
I find the "rules are toys" framing of TTRPG design useful for several reasons: 1. The idea that system matters is reducible to recognising that toys have affordances; while there's no "wrong" way to play with a toy, no amount of open-mindedness will readily fit a bicycle through a basketball hoop.
smh, people just used to buy encyclopedias for this

Dear @support.bsky.team: Quietly developing and suddenly adding "Mods may choose to label an entire account as Adult Content, superseding user labels", when combined with the history of moderation clashes, REALLY DOES looks like "We want to turn those troublesome transes (among others) invisible".
Mr president, another "Ghibli-inspired" setting guide has hit-
I'm the executor of a billionaire ex-lover's estate, increasingly wondering if I've just stumbled on a centuries-old conspiracy, or if this is just an elaborate prank made to drive me insane.
Sue London@cmdrsue.bsky.social · 7mo agoWell, now I'm an English professor...
Why is it that now the nerd-pop-culture equivalent of *anything* (in this case, book collector, but anything really) is ignorant as fuck about everything, including the things it purports to love?
Netscape@netscape.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe current big drama in the increasingly stupid western comic book world: DC released cult classic title Warlord on a (more expensive) paperstock that matches original newsprint, giving a more accurate coloring. Collectors are review bombing in outrage because they think glossy = more expensive.
Just want to put out feelers for a TTRPG writer/dev or two who would be interested in collaborating on a pulpy scifi/fantasy project in 2026 with myself and another artist/writer. Ideally someone who'd fuck with "Frank Frazetta but queer" as an aesthetic. Would love 2 chat if this sounds interesting
This is absolutely me Except this year I'm most excited for 2026 to play this weird immersive high-stakes tamagotchi larp called "having a baby"
Rob Donoghue@rdonoghue.bsky.social · 7mo agoMy hat is off to everyone who actually has a list of games they want to run/play in the new year. That is vastly more useful than my traditional “vague gesture at everything”
If you keep catching authors in your favourite genre using AI, and you catch them because of the "you're right! ", maybe the stuff you're reading was already mostly slop! Human made slop exists, and sometimes that's what we want, but still!
I know someone who works in web ads and, upon someone joking about ad blockers, went on a SCREAMING fit about how advertising keep the web Free
Stella Sacco@antlervel.vet · 8mo agoIt’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.
Old King Cole passed legislation against mixing shredded cabbage with mayonnaise. This is Cole's Law
Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.
Had this exact conversation with a couple friends no more than a month of two ago!
Roger Stern takes over as writer and Hulk picks a fight with Socrates. (Incredible Hulk #226)

Also after 14 years in London this was me breaking the unspoken rule of DON'T SPEAK TO PEOPLE ON THE TUBE Fortunately I've just become a citizen so they can't kick me out.
Just, like, Albi@owlberto.bsky.social · 8mo agoMet two nice people on the tube reading @lackingceremony.bsky.social The Quiet Year! They were looking for recommendations for other games that do world building - I went with the classics Microscope and Dialect, and directed them to Bluesky!
