TTRPG discourse has me imagining someone reviewing chess and saying “of course, it not for everyone - some people like their games to involve running around and perhaps kicking a football”

in a better world getting caught doing something like this would be an automatic firing & permanent blacklist offense

i always say about blades (and about a lot of good pbta) that the GM/player principles are straight up Rules Text, they are non optional elements of the game's mechanical framework

banger that gets a lot of the core of what some people are missing when they bounce off FiTD games

HEAR YE, HEAR YE: God Herself(!!) has come down and given us a decree: YOU MUST THINK OF A BIGGER NUMBER. big fucking number (April 2026, digital collage) is a MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER WHATEVERTOP ROLE PLAYING GAME in which you must think of a bigger number. Think big and maybe something will happen.

@growleaf.bsky.social pointed out that the 20-item Promethean drawback table was the only part of Underside to use a non-d6 die AND was just two drawbacks off matching the tarot theme... So here's two cool new ways your supertech can be Worse (1/2)

His Liberal Highness would have known this had he possessed at least an elementary knowledge of the “fundamental principles of Marxism”, of which he speaks with such boundless aplomb and with equally boundless ignorance.

i'm sorry but. if you are wide-eyed and posting about artemis ii and imagining if they spent money on this and not bombs. i have to ask you who the fuck do you think makes the bombs.

generally i feel when people make this complaint the real problem they are getting at is that it is overly hamhamded or telegraphed, where the blatant sense of being told what to feel interferes with actually experiencing that emotional response

wow this script is so tight and well constructed i bet whoever supervised it was a Mind Genious :)

"Computer 8 miles of soup no bowl"

steam's recommendations system operating by tags is so funny, because it is currently showing me a selection of games i might like based on the fact that, like previous games i've played, they contain voice-over narration

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

great pod about MTA... glad to see people find my writing as funny as i do :)

I've released a game about jousting; The Gallant and the Virtuous. You play competitors meeting at tourneys across the years, your encounters separated not just by time but significant turmoil across your land. The game ends with the death of one competitor in what will prove to be the final joust.

the big issue in discussions of art is that people leave no room for the existence of shitty, uninspired, shallow art. “x isnt art because it sucks” actually it is art AND it sucks. art isnt just the shit you like

Fictional computer interface of the day: GoldenEye (1995)

quite fun to migrate to bluesky and see this confirmation that one of my groups has been playing the game objectively Right

i had this realization a few months ago but its very funny that it took me several years of working on it to realize that Underside was in many ways a game about plurality

made a good ass tortilla the other day

if we're tumblr mutuals and im not following you here let me know... i'm not snubbing anyone on purpose as funny as it would be to do so...

as someone who is enamored with the narratives magic can tell i often find myself in extremely stark disagreement with those who consider themselves fans of the 'magic story'

there are 2 kinds of tf2 players left in 2026 and theyre lilythesparklekitty (she/her) and Mr. Slurs. And they are both equally likely to have one of the girls from lucky ★ star as their icon

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

Outrageously corrupt, prejudiced "science" from the NHS: - Enforce one particular treatment pathway for years - Rig your literature survey to exclude that pathway - Declare that, amazingly, there is "no evidence" for any treatment pathway - Ban the treatment - Shrug as people suffer untreated

Graves from Deadlock

as a serious journalist (Times, Slate, Bioligical Woman's Weekly, Der Sturmer) I am dismayed the left can't get their tiny heads around simple ideas like my paper printing weekly opinion pieces explaining "why war is necessary" =/= being for the war

underappreciated but very funny gorton and denton sideplot: the conservatives nominating literal sex matters (uk terf group) trustee charlotte cadden, only for her to get the worst result for the conservatives in by-election history and lose her deposit
