Before sports betting was legalized everywhere, I was neutral about it, thinking that it was a personal choice. Now that it exists everywhere I have been radicalized against it like a 19th century suffragette

This is probably healthy for me in the long term but having hobbies related to growing plants / animals sometimes is so frustrating because I can't just grind it out. I can't do work on my own to make these things grow faster, I just have to sit there and seethe

Hey man, I can't help but notice that you're hopelessly in thrall. It's kinda cringe bro

I like that you don’t even really need to try to be able to clock AI art any more it’s like the matrix code but for garbage

THIS IS A GAME?

Are you running a human-heavy adventure, and want them to remain a threat as your heroes level up? Do you need elite guards of any ancestry? Reinforcements: Humans is a collection fourteen 2nd-echelon human watch stat blocks for #MCDM #DrawSteel. pestopublications.itch.io/reinforcemen...

Yea actually come to think of it I got a cover up as soon as I was told my tattoo had a different meaning than I intended, and it wasn't even offensive

ngl my immediate urge today is to go back to bed and stay there all day

It's time for our quarterly layoff trauma bonding

if you've made a computer in the last 5 years, just plug your existing pc in, it's wild

haha is that good

One step closer to drinking Verification Cans

actually reading more into it, scopely bought the gaming portion of it. the geospatial part of niantic which is helping the murder drones, that was spun off, so they're just doing it for the love of the game

dang that's crazy, wait which sovereign wealth fund bought them out again?

Sidewalk toilet!! Another for the collection

Pesto's Guide to Testing is also up on RPG Trader! It's free for the digital version, and at cost for the print-on-demand version. (I haven't ordered proof copies from this site but it's the same files as the Amazon PoD and that prints fine.) rpg-trader.com/products/386...

New Hero "SHION" She Is A Robot

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

night marsh aka wash your monitor it is filthy marsh

Hard to express how out of place these trees felt, in their own forest no less. Like seeing Gods standing vigil. Their size and brilliant orange red color felt like from another world, another time

Been up in Sequoia this weekend and while we did see so many amazing giant trees we also saw a beautiful snow plant, a chlorophyll-lacking species that attaches itself parasitically(? Real word?) onto tree root fungi!

You know what I want an investigation into? Why are people alway selling routers in work slack?

Marathon is free to play this week. It is the best video game I have played this decade. I know people who have never seriously played an FPS who have cleared Compiler multiple times; it really is not as intimidating as it maybe sounds, it just helps a lot to have friends. Join us on Tau Ceti IV!

Thank you for the massive response to 82-0! Due to the traffic spike and a technical oversight, our hosting bills are nearing $200 this month (107$ today alone). We initially set our Ko-fi goal at $100, so we are updating it to reflect the true cost of keeping the site alive 🙏.

between Lynn Conway and Sophie Wilson, essentially all electronic devices now in existence were made possible by trans women

as an aside does this router have Marathon aesthetic or is it just me

You've heard of CEO and idol romances, but what about an esports champion? #dvattra #overwatch

Always read Danny Chau

statements before disaster

Caruso is in some insane way going toe to toe with Wemby

Crazy to watch normal(? Average?) folks encounter a story (Daemons of the Shadow Realm in this case) that has grey areas in morality. 7 episodes in and still seeing comments like "I don't get it! Who are the good guys?" oh, but you are so close to getting it

10 years of Overwatch… what a journey it’s been!

I had the amazing opportunity to draw some art for the 10th Overwatch Anniversary!! It's also been 10 years since I started playing, and I'm thrilled I got to draw a spray for my very first and favorite hero 🐰 #overwatch

Been noticing this lately on my n. Bicalcarata, pitcher plants don't just make nectar in their traps, they'll also produce it on their modified leaf-stems. One funny outcome I guess is that that nectar is sticky enough to catch insects too if they're small enough

loved talking to Nathaniel Butler, a photographer who has been shooting the NBA for over four decades, about how he sees basketball defector.com/nathaniel-bu...

a product is less what you say it's for, and more what people actually use it for

spinning the discourse wheel: mixtape is actually a horror game about capital’s ability to vampirically extract and digest your lived experiences into a flavorless yet compulsively eatable paste it mama birds back into your mouth (i haven’t played it yet)

Cackling at how many candidates answered OCregister's innocent "What is your hidden talent?" question with some consultant-approved gobbledegook multi-paragraph mission statement rather than "I make a mean grilled cheese sandwich!" way to fail the "normal person" test, this wasn't a hard question

Fancy auto complete

The Weapons of Lore crowdfunder is live! 80 new leveled treasures - weapons, implements, and gloves - including a new system for cursed leveled treasures, which grant more powerful boons but come with drawbacks that are tactically meaningful but not debilitating. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/j...

lmao this is not a drill, Mauga is now the most-played tank in Korean ranked

to be clear yes, this is a real thing. No they aren't refusing to play Mauga, it's quite the opposite in fact (to the tune of 4x more Mauga) more of a symbol of resistance kind of thing

My preferred AI metaphor is actually Asbestos. - Seemingly magical properties - Developed and experimented with to make endless products - Poisoned countless communities in it's creation - Everything it was used for eventually becomes a toxic hazard to mitigate & it's in the fucking walls now

yea i could work as a "normal" analyst and probably even make more money OR i could report on The Great Korean Mauga Strike and have a much more fun time

Watering day

The announcement post for Weapons of Lore is live in the MCDM Discord. I went into more detail there about how the new cursed weapon system works than I have room for in Bluesky. discord.com/channels/332...

I was fortunate enough to work on a variety of things for Overwatch’s Season 1 launch. Take a look!
