Go to your local place where teens hang out and smoke and find an intact toilet (always abandoned at places where teens hang out and smoke). Describe a course of action your character does, then hit the toilet with a branch. Chips/breaks = full success Crack = partial success Nothing = failure

I feel like The Heroic Trio and Executioners have the most comic book pacing of any superhero movies I’ve seen. Maybe it’s just that every 20 minutes is required to have a fight scene

You and all other players can only speak *about* or *as* a random wikipedia article each player secretly navigates to when the game starts. The last to blow their cover wins. Get your random character sheet by following this link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special...

i feel like ttrpg bluesky has never felt more like 2019-2020 ttrpg twitter, for better or worse

“Hey Bluesky, 2020 called! They said something about a novel bat virus”

The way some people treat any attempt at game design like it's an attempt to foist an abusive relationship onto your friend group is easily more dysfunctional than any game's incentive structures have ever been

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

If I ever say this, please tell me to go fuck myself

done! (mostly, will probably do some minor edits and weathering when I get back to my laptop haha) #sinners

So unironically I think a cyberpunk story set in a retrofuturist city that ATTEMPTED the “city of the future” thing, a mix of gothic and art deco instead of the traditional “cyberpunk” aesthetic, would kinda bang actually. Just a completely unlivable space.

Just watched The Heroic Trio and my requirement for every superhero movie from now on is that it has to have Thief Catcher in it

"All I said, Niles, was that it sounded like the poor fellow could use a night away from life's troubles, how was I to know that the circus WAS life's troubles for him?" "Perhaps his tiny car would have provided some indication? Or did he instead come to your session by unicycle?" "Oh ha HA."

i struggle to think of any other creative medium where the very basic craft of the medium is so utterly disregarded that people sincerely argue that there is no such thing as 'being good at it'.

The thing about the claim that AI can speed up game production cycles is that game production cycles are not generally bottlenecked by the ability to make assets, and especially not low-quality replaceable assets

Discworld dialogue

literally what's the alternative other than the church being evil in jrpg? being good benevolent? what next are you going to suggest that the king is a good person too? get real

The next Marvel/DC crossover comic should be Ruthye from Supergirl and Adani from Phoenix, and the narration is incomprehensible because their internal monologues keep overlapping

Y’know. I didn’t think I would be right about this one, but we are officially starting a trend of canonically asexual characters being the in-universe photographers of the swimsuit specials.

EggNOS, that is!

It’s interesting that like, in previous generations the idea that the suburbs couldn’t fully isolate themselves from the dangers of the world was a statement. But after the rise of nextdoor and kidnapping paranoia, “what if the horrors came to… suburbia??” can seem downright reactionary

Weekend at Grinch’s

this is a mild, unserious take but i think with few exceptions you shouldn't name your very first game in a series [Thing]: [Subtitle]. you should just have to name it [Thing] and then if it does well and you make a second one you can start adding subtitles.

So sorry to be annoying but I’m going to need to press about going the trial for my brother’s murder, I really want to be there with my family for some sort of closure, so please share or donate if you can

Whenever the “AI as concept art” thing comes up, I think about how Morrowind is the way that it is because the designers would intentionally pitch a way weirder version for any idea they had, that would then get tamped down into the workable original idea as Todd Howard tried to make it into LotR
