People should read Uncanny X-Men. It will make them grow blue hair on their chest.

Last day of the sale!

Today is my absolute favorite holiday, in the sacred sense of the word, Maha Shivaratri- the holy night of Shiva. Today we celebrate the appearance of the Lord of beginnings and endings, the dissolution of sin and salvation, the god of inner fire and outer peace.

I had a dream that there was a Mass Effect x Magic: The Gathering set. It was a good dream.

✨ once-in-a-lifetime narrative design internship opportunity for someone in the Seattle area: careers.hasbro.com/careers?star... ✨

1) Rouge / Gambit. You tell me they don't come as a set and I'll tell you they will come as a set. 2) Aragorn. We can brood together. 3) Big Barda. Judge me if you want but, I can't hear you from up here, being carried as I am. 4) Janeway, all day.

you forget THERE IS BUT ANOTHER MOOD

The amount of times I sit in a call with a dreamer and their dream game is basically "everything from my favorite six games smashed together into perfect harmony and there was endless flawless content and it has graphics everyone likes" and I have to explain that making feet go on stairs is hard

Is this is a dagger that I see before me or are you just happy to see me?

It was my birthday on February 10th and, according to tradition, I would be glad if you would repost my work!!

Reminder that Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos, Magic's own in-universe wizard school, has a novel by Seanan McGuire coming out in April!

Here is a true thing and it has nothing to do with sales or marketing or my of that noise. If your blood family sucks, come be with us. I get the privilege of inviting you to be an honorary X-Man and you get to ride in the Blackbird and steal Gambit’s beer and be part of a family that loves you.

Sometimes, when you forget to bring the handle for your coffee grinder, you gotta get creative.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

There is a grieving process to admitting people we put on pedestals are flawed. It's okay to be hurt, betrayed. And hey, denial is part of grief. But that denial needs to be dealt with quietly and then overcome or you are pouring salt in the wounds of someone ALREADY in pain.

I do believe in redemption. I believe that people can make mistakes, learn from them, and improve. But I also believe that there is work involved in self-improvement, whether it be therapy or redirection or...it's all therapy. It's just different ways of doing therapy. Humans are fancy animals.

sorry for being cringe I'm trying to enjoy being alive

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50 Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

Absolutely losing my mind over Ava, THE ROCK'S DAUGHTER, quitting WWE despite them offering her a raise to keep working a pretty cushy kayfabe general manager gig and then the day after her contract ends she posts this

The community of a game is in many ways a by-product of that game's design, and of design considerations that need to be thought of at the beginning if you want to be intentional about them. When you're designing a multiplayer game you are also designing your game's community and social space

RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

Fellow writers: I am deeply saddened to share that if we want the rewards of having written, we must submit to the mortifying ordeal of writing

These feelings. I know them far too well.

The Interactive Fiction Community Forum also has a GDC scholarship -- they are prioritizing members of their community and applicants from the interactive fiction/narrative space.

I am so, so glad comic books found me again.

You think you can just fake your way into Necromancy? Hell no. You gotta urn it!

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

"Accessibility for Everyone", originally published by A Book Apart in 2017, reverted to the author - and she's made it available for free. accessibilityforeveryone.site I'll have to update my #ttrpg resource list: if you deal with the web at all - you sell dice, books, zines, etc- check this out.

It's the kind of word that should have lost its charm even for name-calling once one aged out of middle school *in the 1980s* and there is no excuse for it now. To use it as an adult is to put a flashing sign reading "I Am An Asshole With The Mentality Of A 12-Year-Old" on one's back.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
