...cannot win or lose; game states are much more than what they are written to be. It's also interesting to point out how much more violent and anti-social the "shift" to the most popular form of TTRPGs signified by virtue of turning combat into de-ritualized, omnicidal violence.

Wargamers always roleplayed. There isn't a rigid line whereby you magically start roleplaying the moment you remove a win condition. Wargaming was always an imaginative, dialogic exercise, in the same way *every* game is. Simultaneously, a game not having an encoded win condition doesn't mean you...

"Ew loli?!?! Are we defending that?!" Censorship is a beast that grows as you feed it, and it never EVER stops where YOU think it should.

You really can't imagine how shitty housing insecurity feels unless you live it I guess. I can't believe my life has come to this. Was really looking forward to this summer too.

We're LIVE with DAY 2 of our Dig For Dog Fundraiser! Last week we raised $775.69, which means I.... I have such a big hole to dig oh my god. Swing by to watch me SUFFER (for a very good girl) www.twitch.tv/farmergadda

This is a cry of pain. Amal’s son lies between life and death after being shot by an Israeli drone. He needs urgent evacuation outside Gaza for care. The family cannot afford it. Every moment matters. Even $5 could help save him. Please donate and share.

My Threads feed is full of Black folks absolutely gutted and despairing over today’s Voting Rights Act ruling. I love Bluesky for so much, but today is one of those historical moments where it is stark that we really live in two different Americas.

Another unionization thought. Before we unionized at Paizo, we hemorrhaged staff. I am the only member of the 2018 editing team left at the company. By 2020, we had lost almost everyone. Then we unionized, and no editors have quit since. This is not a coincidence.

World building is mental masturbation. Don't need to assign any morality to that, but always ask yourself if you could be spending your time making something relevant instead.

If anyone in Rhode Island will be looking for a roommate around May 2027, keep me in mind. Retweets appreciated on this.

The job of a critic is not to tell you if something is good or bad, it's to lay their sensibilities on the table and tell you whether they liked something and why, and you're meant to infer by comparing yourself to them whether you might be interested in it. Critics need to be weird for that to work

Right whatever personal distaste anyone on here has about him this always been a paranoid freak out about Gaza and if you can’t see that you’re deluding yourself bsky.app/profile/jack...

Heres a commission I did over the weekend. Really fun to do.

Fuck this rotton country

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

if you narc on or harass nsfw artists i hope you get permanent kidney stones.

She is very lonely

D&D players pretend they're doing, I don't know, authentic community roleplaying and pretend to take the world super serious and then you read the average GM's cliffnotes and it is 50% Monty Python references by text count.

The thread is incredible because it reminded me how much I fucking hate the word "immersion"

imagine if you'd been wearing a wig and latex nose, donated $10k to get on the invite list, and were assembling the resin gun that you'd smuggled past the security checkpoint in pieces when some chump tried to naruto-run the secret service

The Gender-Conservative movement managed to push policy proposals worldwide based on the pretense that youth transition is common and easy to access, obscuring the extant reality of obstruction and hostility towards trans patients. They're doing it again because they got away with it.

Dragons in the 1800 sure had a different vibe

IDK what the future plans are for @bigbadcon.bsky.social right now, but excited to see folks in the bay area continuing to champion indie games in the meantime!
