Eww, I almost stepped into AI today. The new Nemesis boardgame on Gamefound, already racking up € millions, is chock full of it. Awaken Realms, the devs, are happy to admit it and eager to justify it. I was close to backing this. Gotta go wash my hands now. 🤢
Heeey, hunted down some aurora borealis tonight in my home village!
Oh wow, Coyote Vs ACME is absolutely delightful and it's not just my anti-capitalism and my nostalgia talking (I think). I sort of expected to want to like it - but instead I'm genuinely loving every minute of it so far. <3

Music is definitely one of our species' greatest achievements, but I sometimes stumble upon a hit from the not-so-distant past and all I can do is vomit in my mouth. "Girl, you'll be a woman soon" "Soon, you'll need a man" Pardon the rant, but what an absolute pedo incel heteronorm grooming thing.
As more and more women absolutely dominate men in long distance endurance running, I'm reminded of this excellent The Two Towers quote: "We Dwarves are natural sprinters. Very dangerous over short distances." 😁 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rachel Lapidow@editrix-rachel.bsky.social · 3w agoOne of the problems with having edited Blue Planet: Recontact along with also editing fantasy TTRPGs is that if I see "orc" I will sometimes think it says "orca." FYI, Blue Planet: Recontact is a cli-fi TTRPG which lots of whale characters. #AmEditing @biohazardjeff.bsky.social

A bit late for the party. Plenty of leakage in the optics. Kindness is a survival skill.

Blue Planet Recontact Bundle
Adventurer! This new Blue Planet Recontact Bundle presents Blue Planet: Recontact, the new 2025 edition of the hard-SF tabletop roleplaying game from Biohazard Games, published by Gallant Knight Games, about humanity's precarious future on a distant waterworld. On the colony planet Poseidon in the year 2199, after the impoverished Earth re-establishes its authority and discovers the priceless mineral "Long John," political unrest and a hungry alien ecology threaten the colony. Incorporate mercenaries wage amphibious proxy wars, GEO marshals struggle to maintain peace, and native insurgents fight for their adopted world. On this "Wild Wet" frontier, humanity faces a war of survival against an ancient alien legacy.

Whoever decided to promote Coyote vs Acme by letting Wile E do an AMA using only signs deserves all the praise.
Just noticed this new category on drivethrurpg listings and yeah, it's a sad affair that it's even needed but it's also definitely good to have it given the state of things.
🌲A Rest Stop. Every story needs moments when nothing happens. Just sitting in the grass, watching butterflies, pretending there’s still plenty of time. Although usually, that’s when everything begins. What awaits them after this rest stop?
