in a refreshing change of pace, both bandcamp and games workshop announced this week that they've banned AI to varying extents. these stances are crucial during a time when AI is being rammed down our throats at every turn, and some people are starting to accept it

Greg Stafford's forthcoming A Pyre for Gods and Heroes is a novel that #RuneQuest and #Glorantha fans will certainly enjoy, but we’re proud to say this is a book that you could hand to a non-gamer friend too and say, "read this, THIS is why we love the setting." Coming in 2026.

I found Wake Up Dead Man entertaining but a big step down from the previous Knives Out movies. Rhythm issues, logic problems, and unbelievable plot points kinda turned me off for a bit. Still, it’s fun to see great actors deliver fun lines of dialogue.

The gofundme for that factory worker who called Trump a pedophile protector is at like $300k. Funniest possible outcome of this is everyone rushing to do the same thing in the hopes of getting paid

In my books, I talk about a writer who has holes in his memory from crunch. Forever. He's never getting that part of his memory--his life!--back. And for what? A video game.

Since someone asked, here are some (hopefully) more Tolkien-y feeling #TTRPG rules I wrote which I've been using, avoiding the hyper-focus on combat. I dearly love #TheOneRing (we ran a game for years), and I wrote these rules to try and create tales more in line with Professor #Tolkien. Cheers!

A couple months ago I finished watching (for the first time!) the original Star Trek series. It was great! A mix of charming, profound, cheesy, and cool. Plus, a weird mix of progressive/woke and outdated/cringe stuff. Overall, I love that “old sci-fi” feeling! Next: the Motion Picture!

Scott Adams blocked me like ten years ago when I sent him a drawing I did of Dilbert’s erect penis curving upwards like his tie

Yesterday was the second Harry Potter movie at the Orpheum, with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra doing the soundtrack live. Spectacular as always, and very lively — it’s always fun having everybody cheer and boo at the screen!

We are very sad that Manzano, one of the few good local bakeries, has now closed 😞 (not 100% sure but apparently from the owners retiring, not from financial trouble)

Far Trek is a decent Star Trek TTRPG set in TOS era, and was designed as a lighter take on the show although it can be played completely straight. I get the impression that it was developed with the intention of becoming something more, but it really works as a fan game. fartrekrpg.blogspot.com

The communities that I know that haven’t gone to shit after 10 years are those that (1) own their communication platforms and (2) use the ban hammers without hesitation

This has been #DeltaGreen policy since about 1997.

I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

This is all true except that I think unions will work *in the end*. They help accelerate the AAA industry eating itself out of existence. The next generation of gamedevs won't join AAA studios out of school, they'll join/create unionized AA/indie studios.

Sinners was a great and beautifully shot movie about black people in 1930s Mississippi, a decent movie about the power of music as cultural tool, and a rather mediocre vampire movie. I found the ending pretty lame, but the epilogue is great. The “twins” VFX are amazing.
