This is what being on Bluesky is like.

It’s gonna make the Death Note and Cowboy Bebop adaptations look like the One Piece adaptation.

I've officially purchased a hearing aid because the only way to try one out is to buy the damn thing and there's a 60-day trial period to return it. Just have to wait until August for my next appointment to get it. It costs $2000 🫩

I find the "rules are toys" framing of TTRPG design useful for several reasons: 1. The idea that system matters is reducible to recognising that toys have affordances; while there's no "wrong" way to play with a toy, no amount of open-mindedness will readily fit a bicycle through a basketball hoop.
