Fabula Ultima campaign I'd love to run but don't have the space to: A 1970s/80s band goes down in a plane crash and gets isekai'd into the vaguely defined setting of the unfinished sci-fi/ fantasy concept album they've been working on. VINYL FANTASY

Help us help folks Minnesota. Bundle organized by the spectacular @jesthehuman.itch.io So many great contributors here, and of course I’ve added a few of my games as well Nearly 1500 items for $10 and no 🧊 itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

This is the first Itch bundle like this that I knew about far enough in advance to actually join, so I'm extra hyped to be in it. Huge thanks to @jesthehuman.itch.io for organizing the whole thing.

I'm guessing I'm a 2, max. But if it's any consolation, the closest link is someone I can't stand.

Uhh

This is the other part of the Rascal issue. Reporting that unethical doesn't just harm Jay and co. It also harms the freelancers the piece is about. Nobody wins here, at all. Not the contractors, not the companies, not Rascal, and not a now less-informed public.

Disclaimer: my name is not actually Xeni Giardiniera. That's a dumb joke based on the following.

a response to the @rascal.news article on yazeba's bed & breakfast, clarifying some misunderstandings and (hopefully) providing a clearer explanation of what happened possumcreek.medium.com/a-response-t...

Hi! As Jay's co-creator — while also being a fellow *contractor* at PCG, not associated with any of the business decisions being made — I think this summary of events laid out by Xeni is accurate to what I remember of the unfolding distribution problems that kept Yazeba's off of shelves.

I'm so hyped for this. It looks insane in all the right ways.

When Rascal opened up to questions/criticisms of their article on the slow death of Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast , I foolishly thought I could get my feedback written and submitted on time. That was a foolish hope, but I turned it into a more comprehensive doc here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Literally why does the “moderate” position have to be “throw trans people in the fucking meatgrinder”? It could easily be “leave them the fuck alone and let them live their fucking lives”! There’s no reason we have to compromise on this! Acceptable policy is just a “stop actively harming” away!!

An account you control, @PagliacciDaClown, has been suspended for the following post: "Who up doing clown shit, lmao? I'm thinking about ending my own life." Our moderation policies aim to encourage healthy discourse. For an example of a user we think exemplifies this spirit, see @PagliacciDaClown

DISCLAIMER: I DID NOT GENERATE THIS IMAGE AI is terrible, but this morning I think I found the platonic ideal use case for who AI image generators do exist for:

Every RPG is a one-page RPG if you only read one page of it

galactus is like, yeah i like planet fitness!! fitness PLANET into my MOUTH

I reckon there's a chance some clueless friendship group go as knife wielding saville gang for a joint halloween costume this year after watching Bone Temple

ice is killing americans and democrats are still voting for trump's nominees

Also, a lot of the tells people rely on for this are more a product of the training data and guiderails than just "being AI." There's no reason all generative AI text will do the "it's not only x — it's y!" thing, but that's a good sign (for now) that it was one of the common models.

a distressingly common bluesky experience is posting “This is conspiratorial nonsense” and having many people respond with, essentially, “ok but I believe it”

This is such a good visualization of why I can't run games that use D&D-style tactical maps anymore, even when I really want to do tactical combat scenarios.

im building machines that i keep saying will both throw you out of work and allow masked special police forces in service to a lunatic i bought and paid for to recognize your face and check if i agree with your beliefs. im part of a pedophile ring that put this into motion. why are you rude to me

Imagine getting your ass kicked by someone in a Minecraft backpack?

I stand by this.

He. Is. A. Surgeon!

Your child will hear Beethoven and Mozart in the womb. My children will hear CAPCOM SOUND TEAM and Throbbing Gristle in the womb. We are not the same.

Reading people's posts about the Epstein files like

STEPHEN MILLER: so you've gone through all of these files and made sure there's nothing incriminatory about Trump or his friends and associates, right KASH PATEL: *standing in line at berghain dressed like the Ikea monkey* oh yeah definitely

Dev: We're making a Ghibli-esque game Me: What, like Grave of the Fireflies? Dev: N-no... Me: Hm... strong themes around the struggle of humanity and nature coexisting? Dev: -visibly sweating- Me: Ah. It's just the pastel anime aesthetic isn't it? Dev: Please... stop... the SEO will hear you!

The No ICE in Minnesota Itch bundle that we joined is going live next week, but RIGHT NOW @jesthehuman.itch.io is ALSO running this TTRPG charity raffle to support the cause. Go get your tickets and come back here when we're incessantly reminding you to buy the bundle next week!

I've reread that Rascal article on the Yazeba's situation a few times. And while nothing was ever going to survive "We got convinced to send all our gorgeous, lovingly-made product to Obvious Scam Distribution Incorporated," I can't see how those contracts were ever gonna be paid in full.

Bluesky I’m asking you rather than your sister X because I know you can be responsible: do you know any artists who can pull off something in this Nancy Drew cover style in a relative hurry and are taking commissions

If the plural is "police" the singular should be "poloose"

Which classic Star Trek characters would've been in the Epstein files? I'll start with the obvious

Fandom is inherently sapiosexual.

I hate that small press publishers are incentivized to overextend, overpromise, launch their new title with a suite of add-ons and upsells, reveal high-profile surprise collaborators at a moment of surging attention, and leapfrog past a healthy, iterative scaling-up of production capacity.

What idiot called it Marty Supreme instead of One Paddle After Another?

ME: Hades 2 is really good. ALSO ME: Hades two nutz are really good too.

They shouldn't allow videos of podcasts. That content should get taken down

somebunny once told me something i don't speak bunny i couldn't understand what she said

I hold up my phone to scan the QR code as 13 ICE agents yell “gun!!” and turn me into swiss cheese

you could probably capture our president by writing "nobel peace prize" on a pie plate and putting it under one of those boxes held up with a stick tied to a string

if i am killed by agents of the state please do not allow amanda gorman to write a poem about it
