"And I shudder at the thought of your poor empty hunter's pouch. So I'll keep the wind from your barrel, and bless the roof of your house." -Tom Waits & William S. Burroughs. The Black Rider. 1990 #phobolis #indiedev #gamedev #fps #horror #somethingchanged

I wonder if the people that believe this, themselves, possess a recursive self-improving intelligence. 😐 I read a paper on kinematic intelligence for cross-robot skill transfer. They frame it as robots that require an "internal awareness" of their limits. I'm not sure we possess such awareness.

Proper. 🙂‍↕️

My afternoon is suddenly full. 🙂‍↕️💕🤔

Perfection 🥧

Telling your child in the almost the same breath "I messed up raising you" and "you are the one ruining our relationship" when both are falsehoods is pretty insane. It's part of a litany of toxic parenting bullshit that should have died out fifty years ago.

DOG OF WAR: This pup, Jerry, goes to work at the pharmacy every day with his mom.

Night before last our burglar alarm went off. We've been burglarized before, so I was brimming with adrenaline. The dog was unbothered, which meant there was no one in the house that didn't belong. Before my foot touched the first step, I was pretty sure the storm blew a door open, or something...

I think all the laid off journalists and laid off game developers should get together and figure out something fun and cool.

Just heard that The Red Lantern is free at the moment on Steam! Lovely little game, definitely worth grabbing while you can 😊 store.steampowered.com/app/1053710/...

@lorelink.com dice roller is up. Off to discover what API key and room slugs are. Excite.

Even if you aren't pro-trans, and you're acting out of pure self-interest. 👉Protect Transgender Youth, Kids, and Children👈 The institutional machinery used to oppress them will be used on us once the GOP are finished with trans folk. There is no other issue or battle.

If the GOP can't deny trans kids healthcare it protects us all. If the GOP can't build detransition facilities it protects us all. If the GOP aren't allowed to inspect the genitals of children it protects us all. If the GOP are not allowed to police bathrooms it protects us all.

TAYLOR SWIFT AND RANDY NEWMAN PERFORM DUET OF BUR— oh nvm

Democrats probably think they are "picking their battles". smh If you want to stop American Fascism in its tracks, protect transgender youths and children. Everything else they want to do will die on that hill. It is the least sustainable and vulnerable component of their platform.

Read this as a person interested in history. 🤔 Absorbed the terms as a Dungeons & Dragons nerd looking for more ways to describe underground tunnels and features. 😊

If you buy the SpaceX IPO you are too stupid for investing, sorry.

Taking the old Quake 1 & 2 style vertex animation techniques and cranking them up a notch with modern tech.

To Canan's land, I'm on my way. #phobolis #gamedev #indiedev #fps #horror

It's worth mentioning that I skipped templates not due to LoreLink's UX loop. This was definitely my own very jaded decision-making based on using other game management applications in the last two decades. Even the good ones were kinda bad. LoreLink continues to surprise / impress.

Just Kansas things.

Sonic Mayhem .. now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. youtu.be/K-TDXrM1yPo?...

Today has been full of good news. The new Dragonbane things look so good. It's pretty close to the best sit down and play fantasy TTRPG party game. You can bring it out, hand everyone a character, and just play. The expansions to the game hopefully just add to the mirth and mayhem.

oh shit, yassss LET'S FUCKING GOOO youtu.be/eWULkdcaR5o?...

Seeing @trungles.com post their adventuring party was a time machine. I used to do renderings of the adventuring party when I had the good fortune to play Pathfinder or Dungeons & Dragons. I haven't thought about this in a while. And, yeah, I am 90% of the time ... a goblin. 😊✨

My friend is starting a big D&D campaign, so I spent the day doing everybody’s characters. I’m not sure this is everyone yet, but it’s what we got so far.

Yesterday, I attended a keyboard meetup in Bristol to fly the IBM/vintage flag! Naturally, I brought a venerable HAJ protector for the table! The ThinkPad displayed a continuous slideshow of other IBM keyboard/keyboard adjacent heritage! Photos of the event: ftp.sharktastica.co.uk/meetups/2026...

the following are all probably true and not in the least contradictory: 1. There's a huge bubble in AI investment, the crash is going to be bad 2. A majority of the tasks we've been promised AI will "take over," it will not 3. AI will completely transform coding

p.s. I’m on a German book tour: come and see me in Berlin (mon), Frankfurt (tue), or Munich (wed). Details at www.tomgauld.com

I'm a Cultural Mormon that left the LDS Church when I turned 18. I'm still a person of faith, but I never considered myself a Christian, even as a practicing member of the LDS Church. Could individuals within the LDS Church identify as Christian? Sure. Could they also decline to do so? Yes.

Was already excite. Extra excite now.

The building of complex cosmologies for fantasy and urban paranormal is best done in a Markdown editor. @lorelink.com is dang close to being able to handle it as a tracker during the running of a campaign with that content. Left: What Tag editing is like now. Right: This is what I need.

I sat down to run my D&D game with a co-Dungeon Master last night. My friend is relatively new to TTRPGs but her first was my Ravenloft Gothic Earth game. I used 2nd Ed. AD&D rules for that campaign, and she played a doctor with a grave robber henchman. Had a marvelous time, but she really wanted...

The caravan meets with the elves revealing a secret passage for them to take to the Primeval Reliquary of Death... next time.

Time for BECMI Classic Dungeons & Dragons, powered by Necrotic Gnome's Old School Essentials. Pure dungeon crawl this evening, random tiles representing the shifting subconsciousness and Metanoia of the world spirit as it slumbers. Will the heroes survive? Only in their dreams. 😊💭

everyone has to see my pet bird (a plugin in obsidian) that does nothing but hops, occasionally flies around my workspace and can be pet

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

Final Fantasy Tactics port to Android is the best version of any Final Fantasy Game, ever. Skyrim port to the Nintendo Switch is the best version of any Elder Scrolls Game, ever.
