bro, dude, the world is crazy right now but what if i made a full table's worth of wargame terrain with the theme of Felucia from Star Wars. Is that reproductive labour?

SCENE OPENS. A young aged who never got an athletic scholarship out of HS works a warehouse job. A poster flies past. He catches it. "Portland Puppyboy Fight Club ❤️ Door Open 7PM" CAGE MATCH, STARRING (insert actor here) "His gloves aren't the only leather he's gonna need." Opening August 2026

they're gonna turn every remaining facet of government interface into a manosphere podcast, ie, a dumb white guy telling everyone who ostensibly works for him that they're gross pieces of shit who deserve all the bad stuff in their lives because they jack off too much

HEGSETH: *points to general's ribbon bars* "What'd you get that one for? Fucking your mother?" GENERAL: *sternly* killing vietnamese children

This month's GAME STUDIES STUDY BUDDIES is a little bit of a swerve. @ckunzelman.bsky.social talks to @jacobgeller.com about YouTube essaying and how it intersects with knowledge production! rangedtouch.com/2025/09/30/8...

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

The functional difference between Brandon Sanderson and JK Rowling, so far as I can tell, is that one of them knows basic PR and the other doesn't

I believe that "Your efforts to fix what's wrong in society are interfering with my efforts to be comfortable in society." is the core of actual Conservativism's (as opposed to, say, modern Fascism's) annoyance at the left. So, yeah, I think most people who call themselves Liberal are Conservative.

How are ppl still struggling with this? jay isn’t making grand claims about the nature of games here in art, expressionism is just way to paint. everything else still exists and deserves to be in a museum. sane here it’s not dangerous, they’re games, and ppl have been making them for 40 years

Can we normalize a complete inability to understand anyone else's perspective?

This is the most complete information I've seen about the Anthropic copyright settlement — dates of when things are likely to happen, what to do now, and what it all means for different types of writers. nwu.org/anthropic/

A fantastic thing happened. I had a coffee and nearly wrote a complete Star Wars Legion campaign node-crawl based off of the new Star Wars Legion Tours of Duty narrative play rules.

i made a helpful reference

Forum mods quickly learn who habitual line steppers are and the answer for them is almost always “no” & it’s fine to swiftly suspend and ban them for anything even questionably close to the line. Wasting your time with semantics is entertainment to them so they should be summarily destroyed imo.

Completely incomprehensible. I cannot even imagine what the discourse could have been. 10/10, no notes.

When one window closes, another door opens. This poltergeist is a huge pain in the ass

I love knights.

I'm so history-pilled that when I hear someone say "X author is the first to do Y thing," I always think -- but did you double-check that? Surely there are precedents, if not earlier similar attempts drawing on earlier precedents? What's the obsession with firsts?! And it's endemic to sff studies.

i will make a longer post about these in the papercult devlog thread at some point but: here is where we're at. a dueling move, a multiple-target move, a 'please fuck off for now' move, and a 'please fuck off forever' move

Y'all. I'm just seeing the new Bluesky content guidelines and I can tell you with 100% certainty this is them preparing to monetize because these are the guidelines that banks and credit cards impose on companies/sites. Yelling at Bluesky is not as helpful as yelling at paypros here. yellat.money

When I worked as a journalist, interviewing researchers was sometimes a pain because they were so cautious about saying anything. But there's a reason for that. They were keenly aware of the limits of their knowledge.

This is absolutely true. If the NYT covered this the way they covered trans care, you all would finally understand what dangerous shit their trans care coverage has been.

I'm going to write a one-page mech wargame with dice stacking mechanic.

If you can find a cool enough advisor the chance to write a great economics PhD dissertation is here.

It’s a great time to be a TRON fan: -Both TRON and TRON LEGACY released on 4K disc (impossible to find anywhere) -Early Screening Double Feature of TRON LEGACY and TRON ARES (only happening in 15 theaters) -TRON ARES merch drop scheduled for Friday 9/19 cancelled with no explanation -Jared Leto

will never understand how Canadians became known for saying “eh” when we should be known for our ability to make the phase “okay buddy” mean everything from “of course I will give my life for yours” to “I am the drunkest man alive and I am going to fight you in this parking lot”

Freelance work hasn't come through and this month has been expensive so I'm offering creative consulting on your ttrpg for 25 bucks flat. I'll read it, provide detailed notes and we can do a 30 min discord call to go over them. DM me.

I was looking up the Sando Aqua Monster from SW:E1 for normal reasons and didn't realize Terryl Whitlatch had done a podcast interview on the design work she did for the creatures in that movie. I'ma dig into this tomorrow. skywalkingthroughneverland.com/new-podcast-...
