But but but what if the arse wiping machine went away, how will I wipe my own arse then?!

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

Didn’t think I’d enjoy this year’s #RPGaDay but it been genuinely interesting reading reactions to the prompts.

This one's a classic:

Your regular reminder that this is how all skeletons should move in your #ttrpg campaigns. I don't make the rules, it's just The Law.

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...

Taking my poorly dog to the vets. Would have preferred a cooler day, for him and for me, but at least the car is cold.

Covid infection levels in England have jumped this week, although remaining at historically low levels. With 1 in every 1549 people in England now infected as of 2 August, we have increased the BuDS Covid infection risk level from Low to Moderately Low. A thread 🧵 buds.org.uk/covid-19-ris...

I dunno. If the best you can do is use the descriptor “like marmite” when you’re eulogising, that pretty much tells me all I need to know.

Every time someone uses the term “bubble” I replace it with the word “community” and then they sound fucking stupid.

Govt planning c. 100 new data centres by early 2030s, mostly in already water stressed areas. They have no legal obligation to disclose how much water they use. Meanwhile Govt launches £75m publicity campaign to urge us to reduce water use & privatised water companies waste 19% thro leaks. Madness

That iPhone bug that suddenly makes all the clicks and whistles and alert noises REALLY FUCKING LOUD FOR NO REASON is starting to piss me off. It's been a known issue for years. Massive companies with vast resources need to sort their glitchy shit out.

Aliens could reveal themselves tomorrow and say “life is rare and you’re fucking it up, my dudes. Here’s the technology to free yourselves from destructive consumption, sickness, and fossil fuels. Here’s how to stop climate change…” and a depressing amount of humans would tell them to fuck off.

I was at a palaeontology event last weekend and the experts were unequivocal about the fact we're well into the sixth great extinction event. But this will be the first where a species caused it, is aware it's happening and failed to introduce measures that could have prevented it.

“Things are going to get worse. This is the new extinction. We are in terrible, terrible trouble and the longer we wait to do something about it, the worse it is going to get." #ClimateCrisis #ExtinctionLevelEmergency www.vox.com/2019/4/12/18...

For me, that would be quite a credibility issue. If I listened to The Newsagents, I’d stop.

Maybe us less young folk could make a few sacrifices for the greater good, like the younger generation still having a livable planet when they're our age. Like not driving a tank to b&q, or being able to look at a solar farm without having a tantrum, or making that village fete poster ourselves

Motherfucker, you're saying that like it's a bad thing. Let it die. Slowly, and in pain.

AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns

Londo doesn't just have a liquor cabinet, he also has a reinforced liquor safe. #UKB5Watch

The rancid stew of Tory budget cuts, Labour's Simply Recycling, and local Reform incompetence has come to a scummy boil today. There was so much rubbish and shit piled up in the streets we had to abandon our dog walk, get in the fucking car, and drive out of town to finish the doggo's exercise.

That was a really clumsy edit in the Medlab scene. #UKB5Watch

Oh, 50 credits a week? To wear the armband? Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool. Totally cool. 👀 #UKB5Watch

Stims. Tut tut, Stephen. #UKB5Watch

"I want to look up at your lifeless eyes and wave. Like this. Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr Morden?" Balls of steel, that one. #UKB5Watch

Data-driven Enterprise solutions

I’d forgotten how much setting information they pack into these books.

Dusting off my Transhuman Space books to run some scifi for my group.

It’s been so many years since 5E interested me I can’t tell if that keynote D&D talk was good or bad.

Still my favourite iteration of the Realms.

39 Years Ago: Forgotten Realms Campaign Set was released. This 1e boxed set is the classic "Grey Box" of #dnd. It marked the official launch of the #forgottenrealms, the most popular campaign setting in #ttrpg history. #TBThursday #tbt forgottenrealms.fand...

Perky and energetic Commander. #UKB5Watch

I’d bet money Heath will be one of the first to start shrieking about mass migration when climate change begins making regions of the planet uninhabitable and climate refugees desperately search for places to escape to.

The paper of quitters and quislings.

That’s a hell of a lot of GURPS for sale over on Bundle of Holding.

There are some absolute fucking jokes of “journalists” in the UK. The state of it.
