This right here. You don't have to be Matt Mercer. Make your game work for you, not vice versa.

RPG Tip: Use a mix of hand drawn maps, printed maps, terrain, tokens, and miniatures. You don't have to use just one style. https://slyflourish.com/ #dnd #ttrpg

Trump signs decrees that can't be implemented. The DOD is paying posters. Newspapers are publishing pieces based on the tweets of internet nobodies. The economy is powered by tech that doesn’t actually exist Has anyone written a thing about how US elites mainly play pretend rather than DO stuff?

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

Maybe Carney should preemptively rename all the rest of the Great Lakes to "Lake Legal Adult" so Trump won't want to touch them. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

Trump moves to rename Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' amid trade spat with 'entitled' Canada | CBC News

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to change the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" as tensions with Canada worsen.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Actually nobody is going to have to make a hard choice. It's incredibly fucking easy not to spend money on and play a game. It's FREE. Not condoning GenAI and not contributing to it IS FREE. If you do play it, you're a scab and you deserve the shithole of a games industry that exists right now.

Crazy Taxi: World Tour Is Fun Enough, But Some Fans Are Going To Have To Make A Hard Choice https://kotaku.com/crazy-taxi-world-tour-preview-sega-ai-use-steam-disclaimer-2000728372

it's not even some "she made one controversial tweet one time" type shit, she has spent gobs of her time and hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of gbp working on eliminating trans people. being a genocidal transphobe is her on-purpose public identity and her harry potter fortune sustains it

If you ever feel bad about botching your indie game release, remember that you'll never be as bad as Ubisoft. They literally forgot to upload the actual game.

the thing about indie games is that if someone designs one single game I love, I’ll get whatever they make for the rest of their lives and pretty much always have a good time. people are so attached to ip but imo you really gotta know the creators.

Hi BlueSky, I humbly seek recommendations for two-player epistolary/ letter-writing games. I'm looking to actually physically send and receive papers (could be more than a letter, for example, an updated 'map'), it just needs to be easily played in letter-writing format ☺️ Any genre. Thanks! 💛

Holy WHAT

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

anytime people raise concerns about land use for solar projects or anything like that i just want to point out that half the corn we grow in this country gets used to make gasoline slightly worse

quote this with how intimidating YOU think you are on a scale of 1 - 10 and let other ppl reply to it with how intimidating THEY think you are >:)

When hyping stuff, I've got a broad rule in that when someone complains about your amount of posts, you've probably started to do the right amount. Exposure is a bell curve. If someone is annoyed, folks on the other end may just be seeing it once.

ME: I am always banging on about my books and events. THEM: I did not know your events existed. Wait you wrote a book?? lesson to writers: talk MORE about your books and events.

AI RANT Following the cancellation of three major debut book deals over AI suspicions, I decided to put my own (needless to say, 100% human-written) prose to the test. My detector of choice was Originality AI, and the results proved to be jarring, to say the least. 🧵1/5

Just got recommended a video about "What is the G in G-spot?" I skipped it and my brain helpfully filled in, "I know that one, it's Gafgarion", and I had to have a deep moment of self-reflection. I have had A Day, folks.

I need this energy going forward because it’s so hard for me to stay positive about anything art related at my current age.🥲

you cant convince me that Chairman Kaga is played by an actor, he's real and so is Kitchen Stadium. In 2026, you can only get to Kitchen Stadium through the sewers of kabukicho like in the Yakuza games I just know it

There you have it.

So it seems that #Twitch normal staff are also pissed at the gen AI crap, but big daddy Amazon makes the rules so they don't get a choice. GREAT! infosec.exchange/@0xabad1dea/...

I hate that we have let the nastiest racists on earth define and redefine our language. From "woke" to "DEI." Trump's policies are not anti-DEI. They are racist. US firms did not abandon DEI policies. They fired competent black women in droves on the basis of race and sex.

DEI means recruiting the best candidates and appealing to the widest possible customer base - which results show is good for people, and for business www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Instead of a hot take, have an earnest defense of rules light games against common criticisms. I make those games. I started TTRPGs with those games. I earnestly love them. So let's talk about what makes them great and address the critiques! thoughtpunks.com/reb... #TTRPG #Blog

Rebutting the Criticisms of Rules-Light Systems

Also be sure to check out the contrasting defense of rules heavy systems! A Case for Simplicity and Accessibility Rules-light tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) like Lasers & Feelings and Risus are often dismissed as overly simplistic, with critics claiming they shift too much work onto

The more I ponder what Mary said here, I think it is VERY important for those who don't like this EVEN IF YOU DON'T STREAM and want to send a message to Amazon on where the Twitch community falls in the genAI discussion to go in their settings and turn this off. The metrics are what speaks to them.

I always use YouTube autocaptions as an example when I'm explaining the error rate of AI to people. Do you want that same error rate when it comes to stuff like your medical records? This has been very illuminating for a lot of folks.

Believing ai is like believing the subtitles that are auto generating speech to text at a concert or live event
