to really experience gamer lyfe again i'm refusing to buy new games till i 100% the random games on my old PS (WOOO)

Bro has a chest cavity just begging to be filled with eggs.

while i have your attention

Troika continuing to do the most to be the world’s only roleplaying game.

The entire pundit class has convinced people for so long that their “analysis” was somehow necessary and valuable when in reality it was just a con game to manufacture consent for bias-confirming “strategies” that only benefited the capitalist class and guaranteed pundits career security.

i'm glad Mamdani is likely to win but honestly the DNC should be, as an institution, Old Yellered as soon as humanly possible so people stop investing so much energy into a party whose primary successes are being incapable of learning from defeats or victories and avoiding popular decisions

Congratulations to all of the winners and finalists of the World Fantasy Awards!

Who wants to fill out a questionnaire about running a Troika megadungeon in-person play campaign? It would be a HUGE HELP if you took 5 minutes and gave us some opinions. And an even BIGGER help if you shared this to whatever UK folks you know. forms.gle/Dq6KSqXqGscM...

Every social media company: hey most of our users hate each other what if we gave them better ways to ratio each other in this crab barrel Users: could we just have a QoL improvements? Social Media: look we're competing with the shell of Twitter in a psyop space that's pretty well mined...

This was a Golden Age, a time of high adventure, rich living and hard dying... but nobody thought so. This was a future of fortune and theft, pillage and rapine, culture and vice... but nobody admitted it. This was an age of extremes, a fascinating century of freaks... but nobody loved it. - Bester

so who serves the machine elves and who is feeling the lemurian metaconsciousness hyperobject?

oh hey hitting one of the number based followers counts that is fun with 6-1-9

Henry Ford should probably be one of the most reviled human beings of all time an enemy of all living things. i'd rather be a Luddite than a simp for a capitalist whose attacks on labor laid the ground for the ghoulish nightmare hellscape of the U$A

“The videos show how Meta has built an entire supply chain for dangerous, privacy violating content on the internet. It sells glasses that allow people to surreptitiously film others in public and operates a social network where inflammatory, outrageous content is rewarded and monetized…”

143k Rhode Islanders will not receive SNAP. A loss of $29 million a week to area supermarkets.

today answered for me "yes someone has livestreamed being a bystander to a shooting and closed with a full sign off" i remain blissfully unaware if anyone livestreaming during a mass casualty event has asked "chat is this real" before exiting the mortal coil

Do not groan and moan when I describe the cat as "sumptious". It was not I who made it like that.

me, about to go into grad school: sometimes i rerun the coffee to save money my friend who went to HVAC school: i own a house and car but also all of my body hurts all the time our friend working in a kitchen: check out what happened to my palm from shucking oysters all of us: smoke

Rolled many small boulders up the hill for 2026 today, & I'm in awe at the variety. Feels like such a trope-y answer—like a metal guitarist saying "yeah it's both our heaviest & most melodic album yet"—but it's also true. Next year is bleak AF & Electric Neon. Who's in for next year's book club? 🖤☠️

reading a local newswire critical of bailing out Waterfire, i do think crediting that it brings money to parking lots is (regardless of really any other consideration) is sort of damning of yr first paragraph

reread @dynamicsymmetry.bsky.social 's Your Shadow Half Remains on an Amtrak and really relate to someone deciding to live without a phone (rim shot) but also a seriously gorgeous and unsettling book

Honestly today involved like watching multiple civil vehicles to attend to an overdose that would have been better and more rapidly handled by someone on a bike down to the way that flashing lights and white SUVs are taken generally as a vibe, like i am glad i didn't have to step in but (sighs)

gonna start using Bourgeois as a synonym for submissive

Non-violence is an imaginary position, i'm happy to explain why you are wrong if you believe otherwise but it is actively impossible to not use violence to create a political movement

Gonna start referring to reality as the "pornography cinematic universe"

I think TTRPGs are far too important to surrender to a group as singularly unqualified as academics given the theory that has been done in the past 40 years

These "introduction" one-shots I'm running aren't just for total newbies. Anyone can come. Unironically, I think it's valuable for people to witness me run a game 'cos while I have a lot of experience I am in no way especially good at it! Be freed of the pressure to be amazing at games!

Has it wrapped around enough again that Virtue Signaling is a term you can use without seeming like you are about to advocate that hate crimes should be normalized or is it still toxic? Asking because i refuse to make a new Tumblr account.

I think it's really inspirational of M.J. Bassett to prove that trans women can be bad at directing movies too

You really expect me to believe the New York Central built the streamlined J3a Super Hudsons before Tylenol was around to cause autism???? EXPLAIN THAT SMART GUY 🤔

Divest from the "Novel That Wishes It Were a Screenplay" industrial complex NOW

Lifehack: tell people informing you of something you already know "thank you citizen" works wonders for yr life

David is on Bsky!!!

Tired: needle kink Wired: humans as a breadboard

I think a network of millionaire and billionaire pedophiles that do sex crimes on a private island should be enough for people to realize “people shouldn’t have vastly more wealth than other people”

has anyone put the True Blood theme song over the True Detective S1 credits?

The best advice i was ever given, in any industry, is "ambition is a ladder made of knives, learn to love pain"

Melsonia, regardless of my conflict of interest of a few proofreading credits, has consistently been publishing books worth yr consideration as books (they're fun to read!) and products (they look nice!) as well as being excellent TTRPG books. www.melsonia.com/blogs/news/d...

If you want to succeed in life i cannot emphasize enough the importance of managing tutelary spirits to maximum efficiency while analyzing the weaknesses of the demon contracts held by others, also the importance of reading volume 2 of Schopenhauer

Congrats to @emnays.bsky.social & @carsonwinter.bsky.social, whose FROM THE BELLY & A SPECTRE IS HAUNTING GREENTREE, respectively, are semifinalists in the inaugural @specawards.bsky.social ! Both books are available in our webstore, & anywhere you buy books🐋🎃💀 store.tenebrouspress.com

the main advantage of smoking is all of the tar. as we all know, tar was powerful enough to defeat the dinosaurs. by inhaling it, you gain some of its strength. this is why vaping will create weaklings, allowing the gauls to conquer rome and ending western civilisation.

Hi friends. I caught up with Laird's partner, Jessica M today and received permission to share this. As some of you may know, Laird is in need of a new kidney. The appropriate donor would have O blood type. If you or anyone you know may be a willing match & donor, please reach out to me.

Extremely belated shoutout to @amabel.bsky.social for making the game i played the most at Gencon (OG For-Ex, ~3.5 games) and where multiple hotel passerby were sad to hear it was not available for purchase

KC and I need a little help while we're looking for work.

Honestly the best value I've gotten from a video game since Doom/Doom 2 is Hotline Miami (1&2), time to continue my futile quest to S-Rank every level

there's now a really beautiful double zine (turn it upside down for a second zine) available of two of my essays. one is the history of may day, one is called "anarchism and its misunderstanders" www.tangledwilderness.org/shop/p/hurra...

if you want me to sign anything I have worked on (any capacity obviously MoSh is where I did the most work) visit booth #260 tomorrow at GenCon and I will as long as you tolerate a minimal amount of pitching for my present employer

"I do not think dabblers, who turn aside from what displeases them--and history is full of unpleasant things--are qualified to pass opinions" - John Brunner, "Spoil of Yesterday" Honestly why I do not engage with the opinions of purity culture and uwu nonsense

Things to do in Elkhart, IN without a car seems like a list of 0 things (reading waiting for a bus sure is an experience)
