Kind of nuts that over 200 people have joined the #FakeTTRPGJam with still nearly a week left before it officially starts. Come on through if you wanna get esoteric with it itch.io/jam/you-cann...

“That would be sick actually; either you’re holding it until the actual late game, or you’re making it so every game is rad”.

Is a floating head reading out funny tweets on Facebook reels genAI? And if it was a human reading out the tweets is it still genAI

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

so this is part of why i'm doomerish about video games as a viable broadly mainstream industry: the console space is becoming a luxury pastime, which also means the barrier for new entrants becomes almost impassable - what person who isn't confident they'll play games will buy this to try one out?

Totally agree with this! Short game experiments are so important, but I *also* love long-stewing game projects. Slice & Dice is such a good example of this. You don't get the rich emergent strategy of v3.0 without ~7 years of gradual iterative development. bsky.app/profile/jfg....

I bought my copy and I love it. Ash’s status as the velvet underground of games publishing is potentially your gain, lucky reader

The Three-Headed Lich my latest private commission for a client/friend whom i've been so happy to return to working for, this piece was a fucking delight to paint

I made some loot cards for a D&D night! I’m fairly proud of the dwarven pride item. The mechanic reads well but I keep adding these to one shots instead of a campaign where they would have time to breathe. For this to work it needs a game loop where you spend long rests teeing up RP with your party

The world is ready for Kinect again. Kinect heads are out here demanding a new Kinect. “Project Helix Could Feature Up To Seven Kinects”, headlines read.

The meta game aspect of having multiple groups going through the same persistent megadungeon is unexpectedly awesome. The *anxiety* caused in all new players when they realise that an unknown number of strangers (and ""friends"") are gunning for the same prize as them? Magical. There's your RP!

We're no more than a few hours away from the next phase of digital propaganda: unverified videos of "liberated people celebrating" will go viral. Many of these videos will later be revealed to have predated the illegal war, or be entirely unrelated to current events Upshot: verify before amplifying

Why should this matter? If you have a prompt starting with “Hey I’m a decision maker and I need a list of viable military and non-military…” in your chat history then all the laws of god and man are forever closed to you and you no longer walk in the light among us, no shade shall comfort you again

Henrietta Lacks is the reason we dont get polio anymore. Henrietta Lacks is the reason in-vitro works Henrietta Lacks is the reason there's an HPV vaccine, gene mapping, we know how cancer cells divide, AIDs is no longer a death sentence. Henrietta Lacks cells were stolen from her

what are you gunna do, just let them draw a card? perhaps the most extreme example of "do you pay the one" that I've seen

hello cis people could you please give a shit

Dream Investigator has passed 500+ downloads on itch which is pretty neat You too can own this weird, scary, funny game of introspection and judgement-free creation and interpretation (AND OTHERS) by supporting the No ICE in Minnesota bundle! itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

I would make and release a megadungeon in neverwinter nights and host it for you and your buddies to knock down. And for $60k I’d do two so you can pick your flavour every session.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

the Black Panthers were right

I have been listening to some of Dadi's Mystic Arts while doing household chores. After a few episodes, I think what I've learned about my D&D prep is "I assumed I was supposed to be planning story beats and I actually still have to do game design work to make my sessions tick"

Loot that drops after defeating me: - 3x webcomic links (cursed) - extremely detailed map of a dungeon replete with notes. Some sections marked “TBD” - 12 artliner 0.4pt pens - for the next seven days your shirts are a different colour - each time you long rest you receive two new quests (perpetual)

and now that he’s gone, where do the billionaires go for antibiotics that can be easily slipped into their wives’ breakfasts. Are we naive enough to assume there’s been a vacuum for several years

Do one of the things that makes you feel better, because if you aren't doing any of that, you will run down. Today I did some writing. I'm a writer, & if I don't write, I run down. It's very easy for me to forget this, despite decades of knowing it. And so I am here to remind you to do your things.

this doesn't end until every single fascist is fully removed and held accountable, not just given a slap on the wrist and removed from the public. ICE is gonna be on to their next place to terrorize so the fight continues. they're backpedaling but this isn't even the bare minimum of what's needed

Someone pointed out that influencers use serotonin/dopamine/cortisol/oxytocin like they’re the four humors and now I can’t stop seeing it

“The emperor has no clothes and shows his entire ass by accident pretty regularly and we’re starting to wonder if this is just. A thing for him now” - a 21st century re-telling of the classic fairy tale

From Insania Tenebris Sectarius by Raúlo Cáceres. This is one of my favorite illustrations from this book.

WIP of Trobriand's Graveyard One of the interesting quirks of #D&D and the writing in DotMM is that authors did not spend a lot of time as a rule on describing the look and feel of each level or provide a stack of concept art to work with. Then you're given the gift of a 120ft tall technomantic arch

#osr On the first level of the dungeon you just need a place to sleep On the second level of the dungeon, you need a place to sleep and something to eat On the third level of the dungeon, you need a place to sleep, something to eat and a light to ward off the dead On the fourth level of the dungeo

Old school renaissance style campaign setting for delicious in dungeon called `SMORGAS BORG` Is this anything?

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

It's not culturally sensitive to be publicly Muslim at this time.

Steve Dee volunteered himself as my ‘nemesis’ on the old site. The quotation marks are very important here: If you’ve never had a ‘nemesis’, I highly recommend finding a person who takes it upon themselves to repost you, reply and comment and tag you. What a top-tier human. He is already missed.

“Someday an older, wiser person will take responsibility for my well-being and sense of validation. I will simply wait for that happy day to occur”

There are two solutions: 1. Only trust photos from reliable sources 2. Destroy AI

“I [didn’t] see a dog walking on its hind legs” is not a story Children and infants know this

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI. I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

oh my god lol did i visit this place as a child or something wtf
