. @jay.bsky.team How can I make sure that 1) my account will never get analysed, scrubbed or even remotely touched by that un-ethical, environmental nightmare of an app? 2) I will be able to block anything made by AI on bluesky (we can block sexually suggestive, extemist, etc., so why not AI)?

Hahahahaha.

look I don't want to count my chickens or downplay the extent to which the right has fascist aspirations. but if the GOP had an unassailable, undetectable election rigging strategy - or the juice to openly do the detectable kind - you do kind of suspect they would've started here

justice alito talmbout it "seriously undermines" voter confidence when a "big stash" of mail ballots arrives and changes the "apparent outcome" sir do you mean when all the votes are counted? bc it sounds like you're just describing when all the votes are counted

Achieved a minor long term goal and finished #FireEmblem Genealogy of the Holy War. I can remember about it ages ago in the Epic Center feature in #NintendoPower. I used to draw the copies of the character art they printed when I was a kid.

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

Meanwhile, in Vermont… People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it? #Vermont #ICE #SouthBurlington

Is he read for a TPK? Yes! Will he get one? Nyope! Cause the players in my campaign are really good at this whole “foiling all the DMs plans thing.” #DND #ttrpg

So. "KING CONAN." For real this time, apparently, and with Schwarzenegger 👀 deadline.com/2026/03/new-...

🤣

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

I know everything is awful right now and we all have a lot to be worried about. Today was Town Meeting Day #Vermont though, and I'm really pleased to say that my town approved a bond to double the size of our local library. www.mynbc5.com/article/will...

Sigh…

Emulation never stopped me from buying games - on the contrary, by being able to play the out-of-print classics "for free" it left me more money to buy new games with. I rarely emulate anymore, but keeping that option available is GOOD for the games industry, despite what the greedy suits say.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Scarlet Hollow is a genuinely unsettling and creepy game. Highly recommend it!

H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Get some great games an help support the ongoing resistance against #ICE is #Minnesota! itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

If there’s one thing D&D players know how to do, it’s organize. If there’s two, it’s that and reschedule. If there’s three, it’s those things and kick ass:

I ran one of my self-written #DND one shots for the second time tonight and I genuinely think it might be one of the better adventures I've written. I think I might need to do something more with it than just putting the print out in a folder for another day...

She fucking nailed it. 😆

Are you #DungeonMaster looking for some nice and easily transportable terrain for #DND games on the go? I would highly recommend Dirt Cheap Dungeons. I run 5+ games out of the house a month and their stuff is by far the easiest I've found in terms of on-the-fly setup. dirtcheapdungeons.com

I'm legitimately a bit sad about #Nintendo not really doing anything to acknowledge the 40th anniversary of #TheLegendofZelda. As much as I enjoy Mario, Zelda was a much more formative experience for me from the NES era onward. I still get excited about new announcements, celebrations, etc.

It's almost like we hate him or something.

So this is what a man without a soul looks like…

I’m always amazed at hour much more tiring my one hour of kid #DnD is compared to running multi hour games for adults. I feel like I need a nap, hahaha

The Legend of Zelda turns 40 this weekend! 🎊 To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to post my entire strategy guide, along with production shots and some additional thoughts. So, whether you've seen this guide a million times or not, I hope you learn something new. MEGA 🧵

Damn right.

Just saw an ad that started out "your kids won't remember their best day of screen time" and while I of course broadly agree with the sentiment that you should do activities with your children, don't tell me i don't remember beating zelda a link to the past

I feel like the current presidency is making me into a more petty person. I laughed so hard in the car today when the news dropped about the Supreme Court tariff ruling. It just made me so happy to know that it would make #Trump unhappy. #whooptydoo

AI is the “asbestos of the internet”

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

The Escapist, over time, became many other things to many other people. Not all of those things were good. But it started as a monument to writers whose voices could change the world, and the kind of writing that built careers. That mattered once.

I really miss the day when "AI" was just something you brought up to laugh at video game enemies running into walls or something. Very tired of this stuff.

For all that's terrible about the modern world, I will say that I do enjoy the nearly endless selection of #heavymetal bands that I have easy access to. If you had told me in high school there would be bands inspired by #Gundam, I probably would have lost my mind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY2z...

Just discovered that Leaps + Bounds is up and pre-orderable on Bitmap Books! I served as the primary contributor on this guy and it's really cool to know people will be reading it soon. #videogames #retrogames www.bitmapbooks.com/collections/...

Stole this from the #Babylon5 subreddit. It just works so well.

There’s lots of different methods used by our group, but I tend to create a magnetic movement tray with a piece of 2mm MDF topped with steel paper. I wrote a full guide a few years ago here: mogsymakes.net/making-magne... Warbases and other MDF companies also produce movement trays.

The Trump administration said it is ending its deployment of immigration agents to Minnesota. They’re framing it as Minnesota agreeing to cooperate, but most of their statements are false. It’s Minnesotans standing firm and refusing to back down. The resistance only grows. Minnesota strong 💪

It's the rare day that Winback: Covert Operations gets the credit it deserves! I'm here for it. :D

I am absolutely not kidding

Feels like a good day to remind everyone that there's tons of human-made public domain art available for free. Perfect for TTRPGs and board games! Where can you find it? Right here! Part 1: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/public-dom... Part 2: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/more-publi... #ttrpg

Protesters from my community.

This made me cry. ICE has to go.

Love this.
