Oh no a player at my table Nat 20’d into some CORE knowledge EXTREMELY early I’m gonna shit it’s gonna be fine

Borrowing a thing I saw on Twitter:

Mind you bluesky was shading X on X about adding AI tools 5 months ago

my ex would ask me why i wanted, for example, a BA, and no matter what i'd say they'd come back with "im not sure that's a good enough reason"

there has to be something deeply wrong in your soul to be able to say "idk if this is a genocide and an apartheid state actually"

She did not get her brain turned to soup so we are winning. Our wizard now knows Hope is the daughter of their mortal enemy tho. So my girl is a walking bargaining chip in Feywild politics.

this is a serious question, not snark. are you this fundamentally dumb bro? do you genuinely think that listening to a super dead shithead who again, is super dead, is the equivalent of supporting the very alive wizardslop woman who uses her money to actively fund a genocide?

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

Nonzero chance my dnd girl gets blown up or otherwise killed in an extreme fashion today wish me luck

Annoyed it took this long for sites to do stuff like this or just not cover it at all--I was there for the Hogwarts Legacy media blitz--but hey credit where it is due, they ARE doing it now

imagine the Pope personally calling you a fake bitch who's going to hell lol

My wife and I were gifted a dinner at Farm Bar in Tulsa for Christmas, so we decided to save it for our 10 year/2 year wedding anniversary. Not disappointed. Have I mentioned I love my wife??? I love my wife. She is better than me in pretty much every way.

I've watched a handful of male streamers with low to no experience with ARPGs that have slow, capped combat like Souls games go barreling into a long, "empty" room or straightaway in DS or DS3, Elden Ring and get their shit rocked because they've never had to go slowly in a non-shooter game

The amount of Gen X queer people we lost to the AIDS epidemic is something that haunts me regularly and I imagine there is a better use of our energy. There is a massive void they left where we have been robbed of watching them age as queer people and experience some of the hard-won joys.

This is so fucking sad man what do you mean the team run by the Stanley Parable guy can’t get funding.

Unfortunately, we've got some bittersweet news: today we must share that Ivy Road is closing its doors due to being unable to secure funding for our next project. Read more via our blog post at www.ivyroad.fun/studioupdate...

and like that, i've edited and submitted the last chapter of @austinwalker.bsky.social's REALIS! campaign launches next week. this game is vital and beautiful, a cascading series of magic tricks. see you wednesday! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

No sign of Charlie Kirk at CPAC so far

Preview of next year’s TPUSA All-American Halftime Show

hold my beer, hemingway

i wrote about how internalized misogyny kept me from playing one of the greatest games of all time

You will never make me learn what this means or who this is and I will count any and all attempts to do so as being crimes committed against both my personhood and my will.

feeling old is when you watch any youtube video about kingdom of amalur reckoning and they just mention it as one of the many post oblivion 360 open world fantasy rpgs and dont know about 38 studios and curt schilling

Rewatching 30 Rock means unfortunately getting jumpscared by Chris Matthews and Tucker Carlson at the same time and then having to hear Jenna Maroney call Tucker “unbelievably hot.”

These political texts are getting direct.

do you think they are mad that their moms didn't let them play "no russian" so they had to watch it on youtube when their parents weren't home?

after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...

Hey! So this is actually just slavery with extra steps.

That’s right you fuck. It’s rattling around somewhere in that addled brain. He knows it’s a possibility. He knows everyone despises him behind closed doors and it could all turn on a moment’s notice. Let it eat at you, pig. Let it kill you.

I'm going to do everything in my power to make this one of those weekly memes.

I can’t even believe we are talking about watching or reading Harry Potter. Get to the theory mines. Go read Marx you freaks

Session times for this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix!

shipping just got more expensive

sometimes it hits me that if there was a referendum to make hrt illegal both my parents would vote for it and not even call me to ask if I'm ok once my existence is made illegal

Help this shit has me in tears

?????

My more nuanced take is FUCK J.K. Rowling. Our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings need our love and support more than we need another Harry Potter. Read and adapt books by better humans. Especially trans ones.

it really isn't difficult for an adult to understand that appreciating art from long-dead assholes is categorically different from clinging to extremely mid prose from a psychopath spending tens of millions of dollars to kill a marginalized sexual minority. HP adults get it; they simply don't care.

The most exhausting thing about the HP handwringing is the IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO PEOPLE I went to every movie opening night. I waited in line for the books. I was 10 when the first movie hit, I grew up with it. And I threw it all out because that woman hates me and those like me. It's that easy.

It’s very clear which trans people’s transition caused them to rip down the barriers society made them put around their heart and learn to use that beautiful organ to be truly honest with themselves and strive for goodness, and which just found a neat justification for not needing to grow tf up

There's no arguments. There's no justification. You either watch a show produced by and actively enriching the world's foremost transphobe who actively says folks consuming her media funds her worldwide transphobic efforts to fund legislation and hate, or you actually have a backbone.

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

This applies to everything, for the record. The theme park. The video games. Fanfic. All of it. JKR owns Harry Potter. Singularly. It is HER franchise, full stop. Even if you try and justify whatever fan-created works you like as not giving her money, it still promotes the franchise as an entity
