Algorithms serve me enough straight-up transphobic content that, like, I'm afraid to click links sometimes, which is interesting? I assume corpos want us to see harmful stuff so we get made and post about it?

with the release of the final episode of the current double feature, the inaugural #TSBGJam is now live! yay!! make a TTRPG or supplement inspired by: - gravity (2013) - the martian (2015) - apollo 13 (1995) - looper (2012) - happy death day (2017) or by the convos we've had about them on the show 🥰

The first-ever This Should Be a Game! Jam begins in two weeks and runs for a month-- make a TTRPG or supplement inspired by any of the movies we've covered so far, or by the conversations we've had about them on the pod!! #TSBGJam

Just a quick reminder for anyone who needs it, Jack tries to get up on the furniture Rose is floating on and it starts to sink, and then there's a shot of him making the decision not to try again to keep her safe. Like, textually, the movie makes it clear they can't both get on it

I watched Generation Kill a while back (an HBO series based on a reporter's book about being embedded during the invasion of Iraq), and it's pretty good; something I really appreciated about it is the portrayal of the misogyny against female soldiers.

Pathetic to be talking about Stranger Things but I just accidentally AND ANOTHER THING!'d myself also spoilers sorry, it's bad anyway. It's bad writing that the Kate Bush song is still involved in Max escaping in season 5 because when that happens in season 4 it's a CHARACTER BEAT, not magic

simultaneously true that athletic scholarship is a fantasy for almost everyone AND if you are competitive for a scholarship, the likelihood you lose out to a trans athlete is also essentially zero, given both the number of scholarships per year (~200k) and total trans athletes (max in the 100s)

As a former professional athlete, this is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Your kid has a less than 1% chance of getting an athletic college scholarship. You’re better off putting the money into a 529 plan.

I still consider myself a novice writer of fiction in many ways, but as I practice I find that the central learning of plotting a story is always that you've already planted the end in the middle, or even the beginning.

We don’t get here without the unrestrained transphobia of outlets like The Atlantic and The New York Times or the utter failure of messaging from the Democratic Party. The liberal establishment kicked trans people to the curb and looked away as the bus ran us over.

have realized (belatedly) that one reason new people in RPGs are often surprised at the lack of things like full-time jobs or internships or rigorous training is because the quality of game being made by “random untrained people doing their best between day job shifts” is in fact outrageously high

I hate sex scene discourse too but I did do some searching and I am a little worried that we might be talking about it because a guy with 1.5k followers said he didn't like sex scenes, is that why
