Right, I've made a very negative thread, so I'm gonna follow it up with a thread of upcoming games I'm looking forward to! 1. Entropy Really enjoyed the demo of this during the recent Steam Nextfest, it's the new game from the developer of Dread Delusion, a party based RPG this time around.

Entropy on Steam

Entropy is a tactical turn-based RPG inspired by classic JRPGs. Assemble your party of mercenaries and forge your own path towards an expedition into hell to stop the demonic incursion. Choices you ma...

I truly believe that generative and agentic AI tools wouldn't flourish if we didn't live in a hyper-capitalistic society where production and labor are the primary ways we measure our success and worth.

The specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...

This level of spending actually makes me deeply angry. Let's never do this again in a primary ok

Unfathomable

In 2011, the UK government response to antitrans provocations was "Don't be so bloody stupid".

web.archive.org/web/20260108... Here's an archive link of the original business guidance in case the original goes missing. In pretty clear terms the original guidance used to say stuff like "obviously, so long as the changing rooms allow privacy, trans women should be permitted to use the womens"

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

(Reassuringly) the president has the zoomies

Sen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."

So close. AIPAC has hundreds of millions of dollars that they spend on our elections and Antifa is some random people in any city who don't like to see their neighbors brutalized by the cops.

littlenomad@littlenomad.bsky.social · 4d ago

“AIPAC” is also now analogous to how people on the far right use term “antifa.” It’s a way to label “them” and blame “them” collectively for the actions of few bad actors.

When you slow down and think about it you realize it's ten times worse than it seems. Sure it's farcical, but it's also a brutal legal attack on a man they knew to be innocent, done to distract from their own thievery and incompetence and as a flex to terrify anyone who might make them look bad.

It is very weird that they just lie about normal people and then it’s not a scandal when they admit it

Clarkesworld has recently discovered that their August issue successfully breached containment and gained access to the Internet, where it is presently hacking reader's minds. "Oh no, what will we do? Who knew that stories could be so powerful?" said Neil Clarke, when approached for comment.

I've been saying it for a while so I'll be brief: you and like 5 other folks can make an Itchio bundle anytime you want. It will teach you many things, make you friends and get you paid! 🙌 I highly recommend giving it a shot.

✨ I finally created my discord server for my space mecha generation ship game. ✨ Let me know if you are interested in playtesting it, for now I prefer to not have lurkers. I have no scheduling fixed.

That's right, racist. The inbred "heritage Americans" of the traitorous Confederacy got their asses kicked by a motley assortment of immigrants in the U.S. Army.

Bev Craig: "Trans women are women. Trans men are men." She won her election in a landslide because sane people believe in personal freedom, dignity, and sovreignty.

BREAKING: Labour's Bev Craig wins the Greater Manchester Mayoral Election, defeating Reform by a landslide after the second round LAB: Bev Craig: 309,525 (66%) REF: Sian Astley: 157,178 (33%)

I don’t think you could have said this (in the screenshot) in public 10-15 years ago without swift backlash, which is a pretty clear indication of the level of decline we’re looking at

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

struck by this clip of Josh Johnson standup: he doesn't really develop the theme, no real punchlines. he just says what people have been complaining about re: The Odyssey and everyone laughs for *3 minutes* because a professional comedian *could not improve upon it* www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKcv...

Some people were so mad about the casting of The Odyssey

Nara Smith is now claiming she’s “not a tradwife” in a recent podcast appearance. This is a linguistic game that all kinds of people play! Sovereign citizens for instance began claiming there’a “no such thing” as a sovereign citizen as soon as the general public became more familiar with the idea.

Sorry, I had thoughts. It will most likely happen again. #blog 💖 1. I love D&D, it is my *comfort* game. 2. Not everything needs to be made "D&D compatible". 3. We all have got to start playing diverse, smaller, and weirder systems if the hobby and industry are gonna get past the D&D juggernaut.

Everything Doesn’t Need to be D&D Compatible | urbanbohemian

I love D&D, but every game doesn't need a D&D-compatible version. Games and settings and systems need to stand on their own and we need to embrace that more.

If you ever want to know why the right accuses protesters of being paid agitators, it's because they do stuff like this. Literally had their $1300 court side seats paid for by right wing money.

Oh, so those girls at the Seattle Storm game were being obnoxious the entire time trying to provoke people and filming the reactions for content. Of course.
