Hyped. Have to get my hands on a Windows device for this or check if it works with emulation.

holy fuck it’s real

The hostile lizard people is a reddish flag, the use of hyperborea is a reddish flag, there being no playable women characters is a red flag and when they have "hugging a white birch tree" as a selling point, about a Russian game, then the Red Army rises from its grave for one last parade.

ran into what i'm fairly confident is coded neo nazi propaganda on the steam front page today store.steampowered.com/app/3107800/... not even joking.

Tomoki Hiwatashi killed his program to Free Bird!

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Today I realised how easy is to turn HTML into EPUB using the #python module ebooklib. So I will just generate my own #Starfinder and #Pathfinder rules ebooks now.

"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying." Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Here are his full comments:

If you've been holding off on buying the DIE RPG by @kierongillen.bsky.social, because how could a mere RPG be as good as his DIE comic, well a) it IS as good as his comic and b) it's less than $15 @bundleofholding.com until Monday so well done good talk everyone bundleofholding.com/presents/DIE...

Hold onto your butts, data nerds. I've been looking Evil Hat's distro performance — solely based on our distro invoicing that we do through Freshbooks; we don't invoice IPR there so they aren't represented in these data. The TLDR: 2025 was the worst year for EH's distribution in the past 10 years.

Happy 13th birthday to the most essential artwork of the current era, @kcg.bsky.social ‘s “This is fine,” to all those who celebrate.

Does a space celebrating the intersections of womanhood & TTRPGs bring you joy? Do you identify as a woman or femme? 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ Are you based in Europe? Then you're the TTRPGirl we want! Sign-up to GM for all-women & femme tables this March. Priority for POC GMs based in Europe tally.so/r/ODQxG7

Starting to think that as society we didn’t consider how slippery the legalized gambling slope would be

As I'm reading another story, I saw this one in the sidebar I know SEO is a bear, but reducing someone's work to "D&D Alternative" (D&D rival here in the card for some reason) is maybe the most insulting thing I've seen in a minute. This would be like referring to Elden Ring as a "GTA Alternative"

This claim that the image generator has been turned off appears to be false, The Guardian either didn't test the claim or is getting different results to a researcher that I just spoke to who told me it's still fully functional across multiple free accounts.

Added a an Ancestry / Backstory / Class randomiser to my personal #Starfinder / #Pathfinder bot and I have to admit not all combinations fit 😂

I usually don't watch game showcase streams outside Nintendo Direct, but tuning in to www.youtube.com/live/dA4J6By... now because of @epictellers.bsky.social #TTRPG #Starfinder

My #1 wish for the #TTRPG industry in 2026: Give us EPUB. At least for rule books. #Pathfinder #Starfinder #DND #Daggerheart #DrawSteel

I love Verces, with its eternally twilight Ring of Nations that developed cybernetics and space flight long before the Gap!

I have read Era of The Eclipse and I can never get enough of Absalom Station. It is incredibly fun to learn about.

Shout-out to everyone who's tired as fuck of only seeing the first four lines of this poem shared around.

JJJ and the domestic abuser Miles Bridges are the only lottery players from the 2018 #NBA draft that are still on the team they first played for. K. Knox and J. Robinson are out of the league. Trae, Luka, WCJ, MPJ, & Shai are on their 2nd team. Mikal, Sexton, & Ayton are on their 3rd.

does it bother anyone else that steve carell is hot now?

bsky.app/profile/pook... In 1964, 15 years earlier, Vance Packard wrote a book all about how computers would in a capitalist society inevitably be used to create a panopticon surveilling everyone, with no one in charge being held accountable for its actions.

I would very much like someone to ask someone in the government what the consequences would be for someone (unwittingly or otherwise) viewing CSAM on Twitter/X, because I'm not aware of any legislation passed recently that makes doing so legal.

“Tech companies are succeeding in making us think of life itself as inconvenient and something to be continuously escaping from, into digital padded rooms of predictive algorithms and single-tap commands…”

not to go all identity politics but I think it’s also because the victims are women

It always has been, it's just that back in the day it was only the ones that read books. Like don't get me wrong, they clearly didn't fucking understand a word of the source material, but you always had that group of Tolkien nerds that were gross misogynistic racists you avoided.

They call it “Elon Mode.”

Oracle dates a Divination Domain Arcanist. Problematic Sage Gap

I feel my education somewhat prepared me for the possibility things might backslide to the 30s and 40s but no one said I should watch out for things going back to the fucking middle ages.

Wish I could internalize this

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

Hey Bluesky, send us your best ducks (Happy #InternationalUnsolicitedDuckPicDay to all who celebrate)

I’ve posted about this before, but about five years ago I got third degree burns up my forearm (and livetweeted the experience) and now you can barely even see the scar because during pregnancy, my sons’ stem cells healed the area. And now my husband’s and kids DNA is testably part of me

"Child sexual abuse material is a result of children being groomed, coerced, and exploited by their abusers, and is a form of child sexual abuse. But using the term ‘child pornography’ implies it is a sub-category of legally acceptable pornography, rather than a form of child abuse and a crime."

Either way you’re sitting back and watching them do the playing. This is a good thing.

The longer generative AI exists, the more of what we take for granted is going to become toxic cognito-hazard waste. We are living in the era of contamination. It is happening all around us, and the people doing it have names and addresses. 13/13

Generative AI is an engine for churning out contaminated information faster than people can produce safe information, let alone fact check and correct it. And corrections never remove the original contamination, it's an attempt to stem the metaphorical bleeding and hope for the best. 11/

In an exercise of sublime efficiency, they sent the pamphlets out to the public again. And once again, a number of people died - with many more becoming ill for some time. Those pamphlets were a cache of contaminated information from decades ago, and nobody had reason to suspect that. 8/

But anyway, Mrs. Grieve produced contaminated information. The WW1 government of Great Britain duplicated and distributed that information. Then, later once upon a time, Europe was once again at war. Resources of all kinds were scarce. 6/

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb. Once upon a time, Europe was at war. Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/
