The value proposition of working at an AAA studio was that you were trading independence and agency for stability, and that if the game did well, you would keep your job, and if the game did badly, you might lose it. Obviously it wasn’t that cut and dry, but you get it. Now? You just lose your job.

A bit of a sneak peek of what you can expect from Folio 👀

When we give a lower or secondary school student an assignment like this, the important part isn't the final result, it's the work along the way. All of the learning happens in those steps. Let's think about what learning opportunities are lost in this process. 🧵

today I discovered this incredible story of a minor league pitcher who is 6'4 wears glasses and a ginger beard who hurt his elbow and went to the doc for Tommy John surgery and was mistaken for a pitcher from a diff team who was also there for TJ surgery on same day anyway heres their pics and names

For as long as my partner, who lost her job due to USAID funding getting cut, is unemployed, you can get all of our solo titles in one megabundle. It's a $185 value for 40 bucks site.dmsguild.com/product/5122...

Remember The Hobbit is about 15 guys conspiring to murder a billionaire because he stole too much money and then a sixteenth guy who was not even involved shot that billionaire because he just knew it was the right thing to. Class solidarity, you know? There also was a bear.

Even though I have teaching licensure and a degree in Education, I hesitated to write a "TTRPGs in teaching/learning" piece until about a decade ago, and my message today remains the same: Larps & TTRPGs are a dialogue, a set of questions we ask via game design. journals.uu.se/IJRP/article...

Noted elsewhere on the net: Want to get a mental handle on what Musk's $1Tn looks like in cash terms? It's a Panamax container ship, with 5000 TEUs of shipping containers on board, all stuffed with US $100 bills. That's almost 90,000 tons of $100 bills. Scrooge McDuck thought small!

I made The Word Wizard a while back to help kiddo learn to read and write, and I'm hoping it can other kids too! Read and write to cast spells and progress the story while going on a silly adventure that follows the whole alphabet! Find this printable workbook here: https://loom.ly/CKsZ5H4

This is an excellent guide to commissioning art for your TTRPG projects.

I have never been so invested in the removal of dimensional signage and I worked at a sign company for 7 years.

The world’s first trillionaire made international aid cuts that have already led to the preventable deaths of over 600,000 people worldwide and many of them are children. I wonder who we might tax to get USAID funding restored? hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

As a fan of Star Trek & other science fiction, I don’t mind if science is fudged for dramatic effect. But when the scientific process & scientists themselves are misrepresented, inserting secrecy & efforts at social control, it contributes to distrust in science & misconceptions that can cause harm.

Just saw two facts back-to-back that blew my mind in a bad way: 1. The Ukraine war has now lasted longer than WWI. 2. You are now closer in wealth to Jeff Bezos than Jeff Bezos is to Elon Musk.

Or let’s start local. There are an estimated 39,000 homeless people in the Bay Area. Elon could make every single one a millionaire and still have 999 billion 961 million dollars (999,961,000,000)

Let’s put it this way: If Elon stood on a corner and handed out $1 million dollars to a random person once per minute, he wouldn’t run out of money for 694 days. What I’m saying is he should be doing that.

There should not be a single person hungry, without medical care, or homeless while there’s a trillionaire, and that this is the situation shows not only how profoundly broken government is, but also how profoundly broken Elon is.

"Well what do you expect [insert rich person] to do? Huh?" This is a good start. Miss Rachel is setting an example for how you should use your privilege when you're blessed with remarkable fortune. If you have a soul, you wield it, RISK IT, to comfort the afflicted.

man they are actually whining just because studios would have to secure the explicit consent of any person digitally recreated

Eat the rich.

Bumping this

Musk's gutting of USAID killed hundreds of thousands, possibly millions. He has used his net worth to stoke hatred against people he dislikes and to fuel white supremacy. So no, I don't think he is uplifting humanity.

happy friday, ADHD havers

There are normal everyday boring meetings where people just screen share and show things and work progresses as normal.... ... and then there's those few special moments when you get to witness a malware hijacking in real time while dozens of shocked coworkers look on. It's been a fun Friday.

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.
