modern AAA gaming is obsessed with squeezing between two rocks. the higher the budget, the flashier the graphics, the more two rocks you're going to have to squeeze through

i love kingdom hearts

tonight at line dancing 3 different young people guessed i was in my mid twenties (aww, how sweet, yay) and then when i said i was thirty three each of them made a noise like "euwhoa!!" (terrible, dagger,)

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

cicada radio

had to skip several of my favorite activities this week because of being sick (games and line dancing) but still worked the whole time. so now. I'm normal

it's definitely not THE reason western comics are having trouble, but the shonen jump app is one of the greatest apps of all time and the marvel unlimited app feels designed to make sure i never read a comic book in my life

nearing the recording date on these mechanical mailbag episodes! if you have any thoughts on TTRPGifying LOOPER or HAPPY DEATH DAY, please join the conversation by getting 'em in here 💃 it doesn't have to be in-depth-- we're taking audio files up to ~90 seconds & written submissions up to ~300 words

Good grief this podcast continues to be so much fun. It really has game design thoughts bubbling and popping in my brain in a way I’ve struggled to get to these past few years

How I make over six figures a month

i love all of the characters but the lizard knight in particular is my new best buddy

X-Men '97 season 2 is dropping on the exact day @aaronmfking.bsky.social and I already planned to launch our X-Men reread podcast!!! I'm taking this as a sign. prepare for THE biggest x-men day of 2026 on July 1. Nightcrawler is My Boyfriend coming soon!!

i need to read more rpgs so i don't run out of interesting things to reference on podcasts. oh nooooo

Caught up on all the Martian episodes and it was so cool to see the results of the same game design conversation passed between three designers and two hosts. The style of the wrap-up episode they used for this set was also great!! Exploring possibilities and imagining different options rocks

Little Wolves is the 2025 Indie Groundbreaker Awards GOTY and proud nominee for three other awards. 🐺💕 Now ya'll better go follow each of these fantastic people who helped us make it possible! @kobanya.bsky.social @possibleworlds.bsky.social @jnb.art @sharpibees.bsky.social @salvaterra.bsky.social

star wars...cooked ???

getting cold theat (the feeling of increasing dread when you realize you might be forced to see The Volume in a movie you are watching in theaters today)

I think this is one of the best designed little thangs ever

Isn’t he LIT? 🔥 🕯️ #whimsical #cottagecore #frog #summervibes #cozy

actually if you know someone who is a pendragon combat genius. please point me in their direction. i have so many questions about some basic fight procedures we keep having to rule on

now THIS secret digital marketing. this is good

come onnnn come on!!!!!!

crying in the club (my Pendragon knight is leaving behind his sworn lord and adoptive brother to go become one of King Arthur's knights)

@aaronmfking.bsky.social and i have recorded two episodes of our upcoming X-Men TTRPG design podcast, Nightcrawler is My Boyfriend, and we've basically already designed a banger. I'm so excited for y'all to hear it

A Triangle Agency megagame happened today at Play Bologna!!! They had people playing NPCs from the game's world, tracked the results of missions across all the tables, and sped to a final ending for their setting all in one big group. I wish I was there, I want to see it!!

made it to thriller bark in one piece and it's amazing that oda can still find a whole new style of thing to draw

this is still the greatest video on youtube never to be topped

how scared would i be in subnautica 2. if in subnautica 1 i was medium to high scared

sometimes desk is the work zone, and sometimes it's couch, and sometimes it's coffee shop. the problem is that often one or more of these becomes possessed by the fun ghost without your permission. You have to notice quickly and switch spots when the fun ghost has taken over or youre toast

i tore up this occasion (was The Seeker looking for my own lost child and got so mad about this situation i stole the baby)

doing a triathlon today (working out, roller skating, line dancing)

Big time for translations!! Triangle Agency is getting a crowdfunder for a Brazilian Portuguese edition! New Order Editora is handling the localization, and I'm thrilled to add another language to the set!! www.catarse.me/triangle_age...

i'm gonna start doing this forever instead of any work. sorry. this is everything i've ever wanted

Last night's playtest was great!! We managed to kick the humans out of heaven, but only after they broke open a crypt and let out a wave of unfathomable sorrow (oops) now back to work

the number of times i've had to beg players to not feed my game into an LLM is way too many! i know it's fully devoured by now but. it sucks!!

like if you love being gay AND/OR playing under hollow hills

🔥 🔥 🔥 hummingbird came up to my window 📯 📯 📯 🙏🙏🙏

the problem with watching more movies/reading more/playing more games is i gain a wider space of nuanced medium opinions and those are less fun to have online 😔

they've proved they can listen, which is great-- i hope that's also true in other areas where they could be setting an example for all of the industries they touch (which is, at this point, pretty much all of them)

This one took a while to write. Put out an essay about the links between fandom and consumerism, and its effect on how we interpret fiction. Hope y'all enjoy!

tomorrow in pendragon we're doing the winter phase which means it's time for our recurring argument: whether the pendragon 5e glory rules technically allow mpreg
