just ran a playtest myself and y'all i am so SO excited about this absurdly silly project you have no idea. watch this space.

"Please don’t bring some big complicated board game to the holiday party again this year! If you have to bring a game, just make it something small enough to fit in a bag..." Arriving at the function:

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

are you jewish and do you think you can gather 2-5 players for TTRPG playtest that must take place in the next 48 hours? if so, send me a DM!

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

You gotta respect someone who can wake up, scream as loud as possible, chug 1/5 of their body weight in milk, start laughing, throw up a little, and be back asleep within 20 minutes. Just nothing but respect for babies.

Hi, are you doomscrolling? Have you already watched the latest episode of Heated Rivalry? You still deserve time to rest, recover, and see a song from 15-20 years ago absolutely wreck you all over again.

truly amazing how many different professions there are where everyone’s newest persistent headache is “AI zealots high on their own supply”

Who* knew there would be so many heartfelt moments in my smutty sports show? *probably everyone who has read the Game Changers (Heated Rivalry) books

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

This has been a long week but I will make a list of 50 indie games that are: From this awards voting year (Nov 2024 - Nov 2025) Not covered by the awards show Deserve your attention

Making the types of decisions that are preceded by the words "Costco opens tomorrow at 8, so..."

The category was "CLASSIC NOVEL ADD A LETTER"

What is the legality of copying the pattern off your out-of-production china plates set and applying it to other products? Glasses etched in the pattern Napkins or tablecloths embroidered with the pattern Especially if I couldn't do the work myself and would need to commission someone...

Whatever make it 10 factor authentication.. I don't want to be able to sign into anything ever again

Was very close to fighting someone from another office over a Teams message this morning before looking them and realizing they are about 60. Remembered the below tweet and chose peace instead. Be proud of me.

Stay safe out there y'all

I have spent ALL DAY waiting for 2FA Verification Codes that arrive in my inbox after they've already timed out.

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

I found it. The perfect pin. Am I happy to be posting on the internet? No. Am I trying to do it with love? Always. (Should I stop, yes. Can I stop? No.) (From thepinbox.ca) (also reminds me of @eizebasa.baby )

Happy Hanukkah!

One thing I love about this thread is that (so far) there isn’t a single duplicate. Every single person has a unique artistic masterpiece.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

Happy Hanukkah for all of us at NSF, may the LOX last for many launches this year 🎥Jasmin Moghbeli/Instagram

Hey sorry, I can't come in for my shift today, there were some omens. Yeah, like signs and portents. What? Of course they were fell, I wouldn't be calling out otherwise.

“We’re trying” “Are kids still getting shot?” “Yes” “Then we ain’t trying hard enough”

Do you have a podcast or stream where you talk to TTRPG creators? If so, I would love to come on and talk about The Between, Public Access, The Lands Remaining, or really any game topic. I’m great on the mic, and for the right show, I’ll even come run one of my games. Reply here or DM—let’s chat!

I’m so excited, my favorite Wrapped just dropped!

I'll keep saying it: our campaign of Public Access on @thebadspot.bsky.social is the best AP you're probably not watching. Absolute top-tier RP, a great way to learn the game, and damn entertaining. If you're watching and enjoying, *please help spread the word word* youtube.com/playlist?lis...

re: LLM answers at the top of search results — it's so funny that they put a little imp who lies to you at the gate to All Human Knowledge. Does Google think it's protecting the city of Thebes??

You’ll Be OK

I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't... www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...

A book from the 19th century that depicts the Rhine Valley by creating an impression of three-dimensionality and spatial distance. @MasayukiTsuda2 #globalmuseum #books #travel #19thcentury

Slipped and fell on ice today (am fine) so it's time to hibernate.

“I saw everything,” said Frog. “You did very well by yourself.” “I did not,” said Toad. “But there is one thing that I can do all by myself.” “What is that?” asked Frog. “I can go home,” said Toad. “Winter may be beautiful, but bed is much better.”

Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up,” he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!” “I will not,” said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.”

As Promised: part 1 Least functional kitchen ever !

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I am stuck on whatever the heck that die is trying to do in the #TwitchRecap. I… am not gonna say "the machine made this." But I do want to ask if the designer or clip art provider has ever actually seen a picture of a d20, y'know? 😂

Wildlife tracking! I'm reposting things I made this past year. If you look closely at the deer tracks you'll see I added the hint that they're double registering (hind foot is stepping into the same spot as front foot).
