Damn, between the Xbox news and Steam NextFest being an ocean of generic Ai garbage it’s a rough day for games huh?

Listening to @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social Fireside and was reminded by @erikaishii.bsky.social of this lovely sentiment. An evergreen suggestion. Calligraphy by me! #calligraphy
terry had an excellent grasp of human nature in general but he really, truly understood how the rich and powerful worked and he did not like it at all
A reminder that Warhammer Age of Sigmar casually has LGBTQ characters with major models. And the titular Sigmar canonically says "trans rights" and lets his chosen warriors be reborn as their best selves. #HappyPride #SigmarSaysTransRights #WarhammerAoS
helen lewis has an article in the atlantic today begging everyone to read discworld and I am going to suggest she start by rereading monstrous regiment and think about how that might apply to trans issues
Pratchett’s politics evolved over the series, because he wrote them over the course of most of his life, and his own thoughts evolved. This does not make his politics “hard to pin down” unless what you’re trying to do is avoid describing the conclusions he reached about, say, trans rights, HELEN.

HoMM: Olden Era is very good, but the term “Law Seals” for that resource makes me chuckle every time. #homm #videogames
“Youz don’t get it. You think you do, but you don’t. Cuz it’s bigger’n you, bigger’n me even, bigger’n orruk or ‘ummie or grot or ogor. ‘S wild. Tha wild in all of us. And you’d be stoopid to think it’s not in you.” #Warhammeraos #aos
Idk if I’m the outlier here, but after seeing what goblins can look like on Gitmob the new 40K ones are giving me *absolutely nothing.* Like, I know they’re fitting different niches gameplay and narrative wise, but the difference feels stark.

“Look upon me and see your sins. The life you’ve trampled, the world you’ve poisoned! Fear! Fear that you are beyond redemption. And Know. That You. Are Right!” -Drycha Hammadreth, Queen of Outcasts, Briarmaiden of Woe
Sin is when you treat people like things, including yourself.
What’s your favorite Bible verse? (Wrong answers only)
“When one of our kind falls, their seeds rejoin the soil so that their notes may be preserved. One more voice forever in the song. When I was but a sapling, there was a village here. Peaceful, generous, a rare point of beauty. They sing with us now too. Requiem, for blood.” -Brother Ash
The land remembers when the people do not. And roots will find many things thought buried. Branching (hah) into Sylvaneth. Fun to have a lower-stress painting project. #warhammeraos #Sylvaneth
New AoS Battlescroll fixed my only issue with Tzeentch listbuilding (spawn on daemons only). Excited to keep perfecting my Arcanite Kher list. Ironjawz points are getting truly silly though. Brutes same as Ardboyz is wild. #warhammeraos

Listen, maybe this will age poorly, but of all the fake leaks I’ve seen in my life these might be *the* most fake.
You ever see something so unbelievable it actually sends you spiraling a bit? Like, I really thought I had a firm grasp on how hollow a person could be and then this guy comes out with the “individuality and guilt are recent, European, inventions.”
Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he has "zero" introspection, and that the idea itself is a modern invention.
I was ashamed of the National Council when I was a scout, I was ashamed of National when I was an assistant scoutmaster, and I'm still ashamed of National.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says Scouting America will alter several policies to maintain its support from the U.S. military. The changes include a requirement members use “biological sex at birth and not gender identity.” Read more:
