Google is so cooked man. I tried to look up a decently famous movie, and rather than getting IMDB or Wikipedia as the first result, I had to scroll past 3 paragraphs of the AI acting like I was having a mental health crisis because the title has the word "death" in it.

TTRPG peeps, I'm begging you. If you release TTRPGs digitally, make sure your document file names contain the game's title (at minimum). It makes it really hard to keep track of the games I have and find the ones I'm looking for when the documents are called stuff like GAME DRAFT.pdf

Super sad to learn that an AP encountered a situation where they would have to roll 10 thousand dice, and opted to roleplay around it. Not for "its too woke" reasons, but because rolling 10 thousand dice is such an inherently funny visual, that I can't see how you could pass it up.

Kind sucks that whenever you ask any indie artist what they do, the answer is usually: "I'm a writer, but I spend most of my day making TikTok videos" "I'm a painter, but I spend most of my day making TikTok videos" "I'm a seamstress, but I spend most of my day making TikToks"

It is amazing how one small change can totally kill your interest in a game. I started playing Cat Mail Co, a game where run a post office by sorting packages. Super fun, alas you can't manual save. The game only saves at milestones, making it was too easy to lose 30-40 minutes of work.
