This can seem like the US general sat through solemn slow dancing, but the Noh he watched had samurai sword assassins, dancing Chinese turtles and orangutans, and super powered demons. Ulysses S. Grant was the first American to see a Spider-Man shoot web, he was America's first Tokusatsu fan.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

Just so you are aware, the average historian -- will have done comprehensive exams for their PhD where they are expected to have read *all* the research in their area. -- they will then write a dissertation where they add to this by visiting archives and painstakingly amassing new sources. 1/2

Blades of the Immortals does, I hope, some interesting things with the panoply system by generalizing special armor to increase PC durability and feasible mission length, bringing them in line with xianxia genre norms

Forged in the Dark innovators thread! Who's doing cool new stuff with the FitD model? (promote your own or someone else's). I'll start: Slugblaster, by @wilkiescandylab.com is a smart hack of the core systems, tweaked in just the right way to fit the more light-hearted adventure style of the game.

A comment about people's expectations and the fantastic piece asking knowledge workers to learn to use computers have been bubbling in my head and are pointing me at a conclusions that seems so obvious I had never considered it. Do people just expect computers to be trivially easy?

if you hate unmediated AI use at your workplace without worker input, if your boss is speaking over you & for you, consider unionizing. shop and industry unions are bargaining and ratifying real, material AI protections RIGHT NOW.

When I can tell a player has a good sense of scene pacing, it feels like a breath of fresh air. Learn to leave a scene early. Not every conversation needs immediate resolution. Let that hard conversation linger and pop back up later.
