What if Elesh Norn but obsidian instead of porcelain?

Mmk maybe the specificity of my accusation doesn't perfectly encompass the whole reason for the closure but whatever, I was in a mood and I'm not giving EA the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't at least part of their decision, EA is a black hole. The making art part is what actually matters!

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

Okay, we have solved the mystery. (Sam solved the mystery.) Dear new follows, I have been told my books aren't "really" alternate history and my Sidewise opinions will not be published. You've been warned. But hey, buy a book that says, "What happens when superheroes punch for good?"

I followed a starter pack of alternate history writers and posters today, you were included in that pack, it looks like. I imagine that's where this is coming from.

What are some interesting features in dialogue systems of games you've seen?

Black femme Warhammer discord "Sistas of Battle" is that anything? That HAS to be a thing right?

There remains an active campaign to reply-harass Black people off this platform and it is not on us to solve this problem. It’s on y’all.

I understand it's hard but what if we just try instead of giving up immediately.

If you heard there was an indie game called spells and shells what assumptions would you make about the game from the title alone?

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Today would be a great day for the US Congress to begin working on UBI.

Study of 115 studies: "We find strong and positive average treatment effects on 10 of 13 outcomes: monthly household total and food consumption, monthly income, labor supply, school enrollment, food security, psychological well-being, total assets, financial assets, and children’s height-for-age."

We need a constant drum beat for UNIVERSAL basic income that only gets louder and louder. Consider taking a moment each day to post at least one thing about the need for UBI, or to repost what others have posted. I do this every day. You can use my timeline as a quality filter to save time. ✊️

This book is still looking for perspectives from people raised by nonmonogamous parents, or "cis- and transgender men and other masculine-identified people" who are nonmonogamous parents

I appreciate bluesky's ability to have a feed that is just your mutuals without random algorithm suggestions or ads.

Can we stop saying "religion" when what we mean is "evangelical christianity"?

y'all should push for Universal Basic Income 'cuz artists that aren't stressin' over rent and groceries and taxes all the time WILL draw freakier, more unmarketable shit

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford his basic needs like groceries with his basic income alone and that his job should pay for all the fun stuff because that's the point of a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Does anyone know if Neil Gaiman gets royalties from ALL Sandman related properties? Like, does he get it from sales of Lucifer or The Dreaming?

"I wanna leave threads but it feels like no one's on threads" "What's your blue sky?" "We already follow each other but when's the last time you used it?" "More recently then threads since I'm not on there at all"

"Too many feelings" every time (about a book that's marketed as polyamorous and the lead is in a long-term relationship where they've both been putting off too many conversations) If you want to read the ebook and can't afford it, lmk and I'll see what I can do about a coupon.

If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.

Oh yeah the weird mad Max cartoon.
