Very unfair to make Spire start out against 7 Wonders.

I have a joke about Ea-Nasir, it is of high quality.

Every time.

@hebanongames.bsky.social I just found a JOLS in your neighborhood. modernfarmer.com/2022/05/chee...

Let's fucking gooooooooooo. #Dundracon #RedMarkets

Every time Freakonomics or any mainstream mouthpiece talks about #UBI they ask a well off professional working in a field they enjoy and earning a comfortable salary about the dignity of work.

Slightly diminish a book The Barrelfire of the Vanities

This is the future liberals want.

New teapot. This one is by Wen Bing, who is the son of a good friend. This is the second teapot of his I've picked up and won't be the last. The two things that got me about this teapot is the lid being very delicate and perfectly fitted and the bottom having a doughnut shape. #teapot #zisha

This we burned the planet . The dumbest little spite mongers fouling our water for this trifling garbage.

We’re wasting the remaining carbon budget on war and AI.

Marcus, confirmed lib. #Thosewhorule.

#Expedition33 is a spiritual successor to #Xenogears.

Love this game. Love this system.

Looking at Fujian style glazes on teacups. I’ve been told to avoid cheap ones as the glazes can be toxic if made slapdash.

#dundracon now has DunDraCookied.

Like a gallery on rails.

Some reference photos for my upcoming #redmarkets game at DunDraCon. Making the list of escalating inflight threats was really funny.

I was reincarnated as an unbreedable nazi twink and must break the everyday functions of the US government so a lackwit can loot a failing fascist nation. Isakais are getting odder.

THREAD. It's important for all people of good will to understand the Laken Riley Act before the Senate votes on it tomorrow. It’s unconstitutional. It’s horrific in every word and clause. But there is a deeper, more imminent violence lurking beneath its hate-filled text.

New year new teapot. Actually got it a while ago but haven’t set up tea tray yet. #teapot

Went to the tea city today. Haul includes Yue Guang Bai, Tie Guan Yin, wild red, and Dianhong. #tea

Learning peanut butter sugar goop. This week I’ll put them into some chocolate. #chocolatemaking

Looking at #LancerRPG and it’s strange how for all the warcrime builds of HA, it’s the Gilgamesh that most says “Imma start a war.”

@adamscottglancy.bsky.social Have a Delta Green meme.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

Ea-nāṣir is the recipient of the world’s oldest complaint letter. He’s reportedly the worst businessman of the 18th century, a mediocre conman whose actions should have him put out of business. Is this fair? Here’s a thread on the most up-to-date research on this captivating figure.

Things in #mtg that can’t kill a capybara: a horrible monster made of arms and legs.

First, the Eternal September. Now, shitlib November.

I was unstoppable in Armored Core 1 and Masters of Arena.

The only Universes Beyond alt art I really want. #MtG

A while back I picked @binarystar.games Apocalypse Frame to run a mech game. I want to call out how the example of play does such a good job of setting tone and so clearly got he assignment of "appealing to Armored Core fans." The example of combat here does two things really well. 1/? #TTRPG

I need to learn to make caramel and peanut butter sugar goo. #chocolatemaking

All new molds, the leaf shapes are really good, they're thin enough to have a good mouth feel but thick enough to not break in the mold. The dinosaurs are just a bit too thick. The bars are really good but a couple broke in the mold. I love the little cacao pods on them. #chocolatemaking

Made a new batch of chocolate. This time it got a bit too much vanilla. Not a bad amount, just a bit much. Quite pleased with the results though. This mold is really satisfying to use. #chocolatemaking

"Fiction first" does NOT mean fiction takes priority over mechanics. It does not mean ignore rules to achieve specific fictional results. Likewise, "system matters" does NOT mean mechanics take priority over fiction. And it certainly doesn't mean ignore the comfort and safety of tour players.

For my Apocalypse Frame game, the system is good for mechs but has nothing for out of mech time. (There are kind of rules but I don't like them.) So I have found a solution by adding an entirely new game to it:

After more than a decade, I have found a flaw in @gregstolze.bsky.social Greg Stolze's A Dirty World. No section for running fast paced tactical mech combat. Still in my top 5 though.

For the first time in a long time, I get to run an rpg. Apocalypse Frame beat out Lancer based on setting and ease of running.

A long time ago when I moved over here, there was a feeling that China was opening and moving in a more liberal direction. Now I look at the US and see it moving right to meet China.

@gregstolze.bsky.social this looks like the beginning of an US game. Or something some adept thought would be badass.

Base Raiders late game dungeon just dropped. @rosspayton.bsky.social

Looking at stuffed animals for my son. Not sure capybaras are this built though.
