Not for all the crab-cakes in the world... youtube.com/shorts/5hKP6...

Woodworking has been a bit of a therapy hobby for me these past 5 years, and today my old Delta planner exploded... I think it's too old to get parts as well. *Sigh* I'd love to get a hefty combo planer jointer, but the weight alone is an issue (ignoring the BIG cost).

Trans people were this site’s early adopters and continue to be a huge part of it. J.K. Rowling won’t ever show up here because there aren’t enough nazis to applaud her. Coddling the miserable little cretin’s fee-fees on this platform is a pathetic thing to do.

I will never understand or accept why a day of office work makes me feel more wore down than hard outdoor construction labor.

The spark of rage burns hot and fast. It may start the fire of #revolution, but it won't sustain it. The best fuel burns long. It burns hot. It supplies its own oxygen. It turns the cold water of disapproval into the hydrogen and oxygen of #resistance. #survive and burn on, even when buried.

That's interesting.

My children are just pathetic

Oh... Well yes, this would explain some things actually youtube.com/shorts/-Wqcd...

The gays: "You got laborer in my uprising!" The workers: "You got uprising in my laborer!" Me, a gentleman: Mmmm, that's some good class solidarity. youtube.com/shorts/MEx1-...

I literally said this yesterday in an academic interview discussing running a small business. The interviewer mentioned that on other calls they complained about not being able to hire people at "reasonable rates". Yes, because you stand for nothing. Cowardice is costly.

Buddy is doing much better after his ear surgery!

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab. Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls. If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

HEY FRIENDS I HELPED WORK ON THIS !! Please consider checking out and backing the Kickstarter!! (I also made the header dividers!!

... Dearest Rainbow Dash... U r goober. ❤️ 😺

A good thread that is helping me through a wave of self-doubt.

The censorship via payment processor news is causing me an incredible account of anxiety, which is impacting my ability to work. I think I'll need to step away from social media for my health for a bit, since there is no clear keywords that I can use to mute it for a few days.

Remember that article about US Religious Extremists banning games via Credit Card censorship? Well they also just got the article pulled.

I've been trying to justify attending GenCon this year, but I can't make it make sense. Between the risk of illness, spare time for promotion/networking, and financial reality of having little spare income I can't make a good faith argument for this as a business trip. 💔

*grumble* ok fine, visualizing my insecurities as literal demons trying to tear me down to put my back in line might actually be working. *Grumble* stupid k-pop meme working on my brain

Hot take: TMNT's Mondo Gecko is a sci-fi kobold. Discuss

I've just realized there is definitely a full kobold community here on discord... I need a list... Maybe a feed?

This is NOT a criticism of #daggerheart, but I'm a bit disappointed by its licensing. I understand the decisions made, but they unfortunately go against my principles, so we'll likely will never publish anything for Daggerheart. Sorry 💔, but I still love what you've done 🫶

Fighting against the urge to "be safe" and "not stand out" when you need stand up for yourself, because you lived with undiagnosed autism for 40 years is... I WANT to say "challenging", because that's my trained, safe, corp-polite speak fallback...

There should be a bisexual seating zone on airplanes. The fact I can't cross my legs or sit rediculously is against my culture.

I have to admit, I'm glad I have a healthy immune system and all... I just wish it wasn't so LOUD about an the work it's doing. In related news, my entire body aches and my brain is made of waxy-fuzz.

... Sometimes I think I'm clever. I think of a great title.. And then I mutter an offhand flippant remark to my players and the thing names itself...

Me: My goal is to become the Miyazaki of #TTRPG What I want you to hear: I want to create beautiful inspiring uplifting works of art that are known as much for wondrous spectacle as they are for the beauty of simple comforts. What I also mean: I want to be a legendarily cantankerous old coot.

Tink is a mood

BEHOLD! Our bountiful harvest has been reaped!

My new pet peeve is software engineer jobs that are advertising "we're leaving the future if ai!". No, you aren't. I know this, because if you were you would reference specific AI technology. "AI" is a marketing term specifically referring to generation via transformers.

I've got a story in my body that I need to get out.

How I think I must look while editing: I have so many new words, by that means I must throw away the old words. I feel guilt, because they served their purpose well, but it is time. Farewell old words, you served the text well, but the edits have spoken and all things just change.

The onslaught from my feed has been paralyzing, and today I suddenly remembered the temporary mute feature. I appreciate the discussion, but the whiplash of TTRPG talk and then irl doom has been a bit too much.

Why are so many two player or gm-less #ttrpg about an unavoidable doom? I tire of games about inevitable tragedy. Bring me your games of surviving the unbearable. Of irrepressible agency. Of hope succeeding in defiance of reason. Of the death of doom. Of agency and voice. Of inspiration. #cat-tax

Ok, so this week I get to learn how to be a one-man marketing company and a script writer/actor/editor. ... This is going to be fun!

Guess who got to see Weird Owl in person!.. Well not me, but Weird Al was the closer for the Puddles Pity Party show, so that was pretty great. Nice to see a big talent like Puddles give the old guard one last appearance.

... Uh, I just stopped an anxiety spiral by applying this tactic to my ruminating thoughts.

The sanctuary residents would like to inform you that the changes in feeding schedule were not approved by their union. Unrelated, they mention your knees look delicious. #cats and #catrescue #nonsense

It wasn't perfect, but my playtest session was amazing tonight. Big thanks to my players, and now I have a LOT to bring back to the writing desk

Go to sleep Ian, go to sleep Ian, go to sleep Ian, go to sleep Ian, go to sleep Ian, go to sleep Ian, please go to sleep 🥺

Taking part in the Game A11Y Gathering in Brighton today, giving a talk about Autistic player Accessibility in video games. Should be a day of fantastic talks, honoured to be in such inspiring and educational company.

🐾🐾🐾.

S-same? I can't really compete with Quinns, but I have more kittens and righteous-cause energy if that floats your boat! (Probably talk to Quinns first though, he's going to be way more ready to talk than me at this point)

Hypothetically: if I were working on something big, weird, anti-fascist, and hypothetically wanted a few folks to peek early and help boil the brew.. Anyone excited? Asking for a... me 😺 Must be for groups playing #DCCRPG or #Shadowdark. 🗡️ Bonus points if you're #queer/ #neurospicy/ #indigenous ❤️

I have been this excited to run an adventure in a while. Honestly I'm usually more of a "seat of my pants" style GM, so having prewritten a full dungeon is exciting
