Heading out.

There is a term that originates in science fiction that I am fond of. Sophont: an intelligent being; a being with a base reasoning capacity roughly equivalent to or greater than that of a human being.

While I don't think I would have made this choice, I am also no where near as instantly hostile as some. The responses I have seen are more telling about the responders than Mongoose here. Pretty clear some folks went knee jerk without thinking to much about it.

Gym time was had. Might have hurt myself a little. It happens.

I adore Dispatch. I knew it would be my jam, but it is actually better than I expected.

www.portrait.works a useful tool for making character art that is not AI.

I really wish I had money to spend, because there are several games I would love to get my hands on. My salary has not kept up with inflation and it is super hard to keep my game buying hobby. This is rights up my alley. Oh well, maybe someday.

A lot of my characters share a trait with me. They are afraid they will hurt someone, particularly people they care about. This has been a constant fear for me for a long time.

The Mighty Nein did a good job of making me want to play/run more D&D or similar fantasy RPG.

The numbers stations are back.

Some might say i suffer from depression and poor self image. I say I am doing a permanent reinterpretation of the Gollum/ Smeagol monologue so at least I can be creative.

So......new Stargate?

Made it back to the gym after a day of post larp recovery. Some pain, but good pain.

You know, if AI is so good at figuring out what people want based on patterns, why can't it figure out after the 100th time I said I don't want to use AI, that maybe it should stop prompting me?

Your shelves are hiding a secret door... Delve deep into the lore, design, triumphs and challenges behind each and every product TSR released for OD&D, Basic D&D, and AD&D 1e. Designers & Dragons: Origins by @shannonappelcline.bsky.social Just 8 days left! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

Dune, largely because I read at 9 or 10, and it blew my mind. Taught me to think of religions, language, and governments as tools of control. I used to read it every so often and would take something new from it. It is not perfect but it opened my eyes to new ways of thinking.

My latest hyperfixation is the lore surrounding the wargame/rpg called Infinity. Cyberpunk space opera with interesting world building in the beginning of the 23rd century. I can't afford to get into the wargame & not many to play with if I did, but the world is cool. youtu.be/z5GFC4VU8lk?...

I wish they would stop interviewing Avi Loeb about 3i/Atlas. They always go interview the one guy saying it might be aliens and never bring up most of the astronomers completely disagree with him. He mischaracterizes a lot of the data to leave open things to his interpretation.

I find that the viewership of my streams does down the closer we get to holidays. I wonder if it is like that for most streams or just mine?

Another trip to the gym. Today was harder. I am sore all over. Much more wiped out.

Made it back to the gym for the first time in a while. Car issues made it hard to get in. Sore but not destroyed.

Way too much of our economy now rests in the idiocy of those data centers.

I don't have a lot of money to be spending on kickstarters & backerkits right now, but I wish I did. I love the idea of a near future space exploration game. The Pioneer RPG: Explore the Solar System by @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

I must remember by the time Alexander the Great was my age, he was dead for a while. At least I beat him at something.

Dear work. Be less dumb. You smell like butter. Hugs and kisses, me

A vampire that is not Dracula.

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics. GET OUT THE VOTE here bit.ly/4nxYXFp

I am just shocked it is not in German.

Not that there’s any one reason I’ve had to pivot away from content creation these past few months, but certainly the pile of empty promises of reciprocation I collected over the years is one of the many.

Playing 7th Sea tonight, and my character is making some bold damn choices. In the service of a powerful fey, he is about to fight a storm born of her grief. To get her to let him do that, he had to agree to be her knight, but he is powered by an ancient enemy of hers. Choices.

One of the things that is utterly bizarre about ICE never identifying themselves is how opposite of cop culture it is. For generations, cops whipped out badges to defend what they were doing, as part of arrests. They call it a shield, for fuck sake. ICE doesn't even try to defend what it is doing.

I have had a copy of This Free Trader Beowulf: A System History of Traveler by @shannonappelcline.bsky.social in pdf for a while and finally got around to reading it. It is very good. Traveler is a game I have only played a little of so getting a detailed history is a lot of new info for me.

Short list of things that are incredibly easy to do as a man in America: - Not ever wear black or brown face - Not get an SS tattoo - Not sexually assault anyone SUPER easy
