Academia panel was amazing! Now: 30 minutes until Working with publishers panel! Just enough time to make a cup of tea and stretch your legs and get into a conversation with someone and tell them you are watching some amazing panels as part of KiwiRPG week want to join me and send them the link

The academia panel has been going for 5 minutes and it has already blown my mind once, apparently VUW student health has trained people running therapeutic #TTRPG sessions (Vaesen, of all games!) Jump on twitch with me!

the fuck

I’m at a design panel and they just said “AI will solve taste” and I’m done

Let's try this one more (and final) time! The Complete History of Ghost in the Shell 2.0 [REUPLOAD TO APPEASE OUR CORPORATE OVERLORDS] youtu.be/p-KqsDPlSFM

Ten minute reminder beeps for #TTRPG academia panel: *beep beep beep* (actually twelve minute reminder because i can't be bothered waiting two minutes whoops)

Pretty weird he found one that looks just like the health minister

Spot the difference

look. I'm not saying it's a solution to the current problem, HOWEVER—

Since I just hit another arbitrary number of followers (8,000 in this case), it's time to share the Arizona Minuteman Militia Girl Scout Cookie Burglary again!

The events in this story take place in 1993, concurrent with the Waco Siege. Three bachelors, most alike in indignity, In fair Tucson, where we lay our scene, From exasperated grudge break to new mutiny, Where lack of thought rends good intentions unclean.

On July 8, at about 11:10 GMT, about 99 percent of the world experiences sunlight at the same time.

Surely the most poorly conceived ad I’ve been served this year. “AI is going to read all your chats and you will be forced to suffer” is the message, the product is instantly forgotten. Feels like you need a human brain to fuck up this badly. (This was served on the BetterOffline subreddit, lol)

Haha, that’s one of the dumbest AI Guy arguments I’ve heard. I was among the earliest adopters of the Internet. A lot of us who hate Regurgitative AI actually remember when the Internet was *good*, before the very companies poisoning it with AI carved it up into algorithm-controlled fiefdoms.

I hate this headline. I hate it so much. Let me tell you why. It makes it sound like the AI was "cast" in a movie, except the movie is being made by the same people who made Tilly, it's all in house, I might as well announce that Dan Olson has been cast as the host of a Folding Ideas doc.

Unfortunately, a stunned Paris is how they all got into this whole mess to begin with

Morning 😂.

I have a fine selection of bug memes.

Oh cool, an Easter egg feature that traps you in a driverless car and kidnaps you when it's decided you've misbehaved. Imagine what a hacker group or ICE can do with this. The fact that this is even functionally possible is horrifying.

Fascinating how rattled Farage allies are by Count Binface. I doubt he can really marshal a serious challenge - perhaps they do. Or maybe they just need to build him up into more than a guy with a bin on his head so this contest doesn't look, well, silly

NEW BLOG! @checrawford.bsky.social (The Immortal Think Tank) reveals their journey to become a TTRPG Cartoonist! www.kiwirpg.com/blog/2026/07...

Have you ever thought about playing (or talking) TTRPGs for an audience? You need this. Just one KiwiRPG week livestream today & it's a doozy: four folks who know podcasts, YouTube, live streaming, live performance, and more, will drop some knowledge.

One hour and change until this kicks off!

does the video game industry still have employees??

🔪🔪🔪 CRIME BIRDS are on the scene, and this time, they've got knives. (oh god who gave them knives, it was me hehehe) The Weka, Kea, and Shining Cuckoo are here in stickers/pins, and the birds over at Weka Racing have launched their own team t-shirt for pre-order! Hit up: pepperraccoon.com to cop.

Bloodthirst is a fast-paced #ttrpg about a team of #vampires protecting their fellows from hunters, other vampires, and the occasional ghost or werewolf. Choose your archetype, kit them out with weapons, and get ready for battle! ⚔️ www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

We're actually running THREE bundles on different platforms - @kellywhyte.bsky.social has the deets!

The hero we need.

If a non-straight person doesn’t consider themself queer, that’s valid enough. I won’t insist they are, I have my labels and they have theirs. If they’re gonna be a weird hostile helmet about it though, I *will* insist they’re being a weird hostile helmet about it.

I think about the person who claimed writing cyberpunk and stating tech wasn't gonna solve your problems meant I was halting the progress of humanity and preventing the cybernetic immortality future we are all destined for A lot to put on a game designer's shoulders,

mods are asleep post illegal scooby gang member "Mike" who was cut out before the show began

One of the fun things about running Bits & Mortar is encountering retailers who can't believe that it's free and based on taking the risk of actually trusting each other to be looking out for each other but... yep. That's really how it works.

Man, I feel bad for the creative team on this. Imagine thinking you’re working with “the Invader ZIM team” but it’s really just, like, one person in the Paramount licensing dept. www.comicsbeat.com/invader-zim-...

In case you would like to make this amazing scene your own, I have made a blank template and even a meme generator link: imgflip.com/memegenerato...

Link and thread. I was completely unsurprised by one of the names, and it drives me up the wall that these grifting dynamite fishers don't give fuck one about the consequences of their actions

AI fraud nearly derailed our next anthology. Today we’re talking about what went down, the things we missed, and publishing the report we wish we’d had when it happened. Read all about it on our new blog, and download the full report:

This on the same day as "nation intends to spend $35B on AI data centers" is particularly grim

"I thought our Give a Man a Fish Machine would lead to a glimmering new era of people learning how to fish but alas!"

I see we're still going with the "A new fridge would save you $100 a year in electricity costs" style of energy efficiency stories. It'd take 950,000 new fridges to equal their 6 month profits for the year. #nzpol

#SoloRPG livestream playthrough kicking off in half an hour!

Here's the interesting thing about fuel storage like diesel ... it goes bad. In 6-12 months (though it can be extended out to 2-3 years through careful management) diesel will go bad. So, this reserve will have the be regularly replaced to remain a viable useable reserve. This isn't permanent.

Looks like the Sony PR team has begun its consent manufacturing operation among the media in the past 24 hours. I wonder how many other gaming outlets and influencers this week will also happen to put up posts/articles/videos declaring that eliminating physical media from consoles is good, actually?
