When the press goes after Labour it’s just because the press is right wing and always has it in for Labour APART FROM 2015-2019 when the press was just being good and righteous and naughty nasty Jimmery Croopins brought it on himself.

Walmart nostalgia is Blockbuster nostalgia, to me. The things you liked about it were pale imitations of concepts they stole from the places they ran out of business. You don't like Walmart, you like the shadows of the things they destroyed

I can answer: we didn't really them about nazism and fascism. We taught people about the National Socialist Party, specifically, and filled our media with portrayals of nazis as unique monsters rather than engaging with the ideology and the ways that it can exist even when not wearing a SS uniform.

Time for another Giallo cinema thread (in preparation for my new RPG, Il Fantasma del Giallo, more info soon)! It's another Mario Bava film, one that would end up hugely influential in this genre and others. Blood and Black Lace, or Sei donne per l'assassino. Thread 👇 Please repost if you enjoy!

Interested in historicals but worried about accuracy? Don't be! I write about accuracy and historicals, with the new player in mind. www.goonhammer.com/historicals-...

I agree. And also, its important to understand imo that while representation of identity is important, so is representation of experience and theme.

In a landscape with so many incredibly tightly-designed metroidvanias, Silksong's exclusion of quality-of-life features is not an oversight!! It is essential to understanding the game!

I do really want fellow autistics to stop characterising every experience as uniquely autistic. Yes, neurotypical people have internal monologues, social anxiety, hobbies/interests, and a propensity to mislay objects.

this is crude to say but starmer could goose step out on stage, throw a nazi salute & order every immigrant rounded up into camps, & it wouldn't convince a single fascist to vote for him, because what they want isn't rational. a far-right party would simply say "we'll do that but more & faster"

it’s good to take folic acid supplements, it’s good to avoid alcohol and cigarettes, but society has immediately turned “here’s the recommendations” into a way to make pregnancy outcomes ALL ABOUT your personal choices rather than the reality that your choices have very little impact on outcome!

People in films and TV are too gorgeous. More weird people. Ugly people. Craggy people. People who are kinda attractive but in a vaguely odd way (and not like the people who tend to get branded with that now, no, Jeremy Allen White and Cillian Murphy are not unconventional they're just hot guys).

America 2025. Please Don’t Offend The White Supremacists

I've not been on here in a while but this is maybe the best new game I've played all year, or longer? It's incredibly fun. I made two friends play it and we were cracking up with the hilarious things that kept happening! www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-r...

It's commonplace now to see advice for DMs like "check in with your players to see if they're having fun," but I don't think I've seen a single instance of players being encouraged to check in to see if the DM is having a good time.

Wanted to talk about this kind of post that's appeared a lot since the tylenol grossness. Not to condemn, but I have a personal distaste for this humour and I wanted to talk about why.

I have a slightly more complex take on autism than some in my communities. I have known a lot of autistic people who need full time care. But here's the thing, we don't need to talk about whether we would want or need to cure autism at the moment, because we can't. It's the domain of charlatans.

Almost 90% funded! Will we beat the time limit bell today?

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

If you told me to write a metaphor for the pretentious performativity of the burdens white Christian men pretend to have I couldn’t have come up with putting wheels on a cross man

The solid year we had of people issuing press releases as to why they, personally, had a hall pass for Hogwarts Legacy was deafening. Wasn't enough to simply ignore pleas from the trans community not to *directly fund their further marginalisation*, they wanted a Still A Good Person certificate too.

One week in, and just about 25 more backers will get World Wide Wrestling 2E: Repackaged to fully funded. That's what, one Battle Royal's worth of ttrpg wrestle-curious fans? No wrestling knowledge necessary, and part of the campaign is more support for non-grapple-heads to play out the matches!

Lib Dems also falling into the bullshit of "if we resolve the asylum backlog efficiently, we defeat Reform". Reform don't care about the 'asylum backlog' outside of it being a tool. It could be 0 people and it wouldn't matter as long as there are people of colour in the UK. That is the end goal.

The difference between Martin Luthor King and Charlie Kirk, aside from the obvious, is that decades later even King's opponents are trying to make King's own words serve their purposes, while a week later Kirk's allies are still struggling to find a quote of his they can stand by.

I talked about some of common elements of Giallo cinema, but before I start showing stuff for my upcoming RPG, I'm gonna talk about specific films and how they influenced the genre going forward. First up, the seed of the genre, Mario Bava's 1963 film, "The Girl Who Knew Too Much". Thread 👇

I'm honestly kinda bored of the difficulty discourse popping up whenever a hard game comes out, and then people forget about the discourse later. People keep bringing up things elden ring did better than Silksong re difficulty, as if people weren't also doing this discourse with elden ring also.

@ndpdesign.com's World Wide Wrestling. Imo the best use of the PbtA system around, and it manages to make wresting accessible to even those who know little about it (unlike me). Also, not sure actually how celebrated it is, but I never fail to bring up Dogs in the Vineyard in any design discussion.

It's #TTRPGRising which means it's time to help those smaller accounts find a wider audience and rise up! If you're under 1000 Followers: 🧡 Like/retweet 💬 Post your stuff below More than 1000 Followers: 🧡 Like/retweet 📣 Shoutout those below 🚫 No AI though!

hi new followers. As well as talking about rpgs and violent 50 year old movies I also have a cat, and she is the softest.

I honestly have no idea how widely celebrated it is, but I basically bring up Dogs in the Vineyard every single time I talk about game design. It's really neat.

A surprising number of people seem to regard Nazism as an understandable and natural reaction to heavy eye makeup.

I've written more about this on the Ex Tenebris Kickstarter page (free to read) and I'll be putting out some more articles about the mystery system in the coming weeks. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

Running a poll to try and get data on what devices and formats people read TTRPGs in, so designers can make more informed choices. I intend to share the data once I've gotten enough responses, please spread this so we can cover more ground! forms.gle/V7WtvMpAUkJa...

Working on a new TTRPG, currently called "Il Fantasma del Giallo". It's a magical realist horror game in which the players take on the role of actors in "Giallo" films. I'm even doing the art myself so I can go fully insane. What's Giallo, and why should you care? Thread, alt text for film info 👇
