Hello, new followers! My name is Avery, and I'm a tabletop roleplaying game designer who makes games about self-doubt, queerness, community, and the apocalypse. Learn more here: buriedwithoutceremony.com I also talk about the necessity of an anticapitalist, decolonized, gender-liberated world.

i am watching utena for the first time and i really wish people would stop slapping anthy :(

this looks sick will @mollynoise.bsky.social go 2 for 2 on great ttrpg soundtrack albums? it's more likely than you think

worth a read! the rascal article covering this whole situation was incredibly lacking in my opinion

Hi! As Jay's co-creator — while also being a fellow *contractor* at PCG, not associated with any of the business decisions being made — I think this summary of events laid out by Xeni is accurate to what I remember of the unfolding distribution problems that kept Yazeba's off of shelves.

As a former journalist, and as someone who has had mixed experiences with Rascal as a developer and artist, this article was absolutely infuriating to read and led to me not renewing my subscription. An unattributed pull quote before a paywall calling someone a fake queer is beyond ethical failure.

new video, up early for anyone giving me money! "what would a better youtube look like" is a speculative essay about how one would go about reimagining the platform to make it more equitable, sustainable, safe, and friendly to novel use cases.

finally joined the @rangedtouch.bsky.social patreon and started listening to the caves of qud episode of shelved by genre and now the phrase "they're transmuting your ass on gem twitter" won't leave my head

"ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter." As someone who lived in the region for 22 years, this is most Minnesota thing ever. 🫡🥰

My 23yo daughter is talking down suburban grandmothers who are so pissed they want to storm three hotels in town

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Belarus has arrested several HAM radio hobbyists and is threatening them with the death penalty, extremely wild situation: www.404media.co/ham-radio-op...

Here's all four. These sculpts have been the perfect opportunity to push myself out of a grimdark color habit and into something joyously weird. #MiniPainting

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

Merry Christmas! Let’s go kill Skeletrex

like did you miss the 90s when kids would regularly fleece each other over pokemon cards, magic cards, beanie babies, whatever? this isn't "because of neckbeards" they're just responding to the market that THE INDUSTRY DELIBERATELY HAS CREATED. it's NO different than comic foil variant covers.

lot of people who apparently have never thought for even a second about what a "trading card game" is and what business model it employs like damn you're saying there's bad externalities to turning a toy into a gambling vehicle? huh! that's crazy!

here's an easy fix: print more copies, of the high value cards. simple. merry christmas, I also think 80s reaganite toy commercial shows, youtube kids, roblox, and fortnite are blights, and people who advertise to children should be ripped apart by rampaging horses. Ho Ho Ho.

Maybe love actually is the worst movie I've ever fucking seen

Can’t believe they made a film about such a tiny doctor who.

Hype

Wanted a clean thread to continually share as needed but hey are you annoyed by orientalist and blatantly obtuse games and their white designers? Throw money at an Asian designer and their games! You can find them so easily with the link below! Did you buy Obojima? Feel bad? Buy another game!

I am brimming with holiday spirit

pan fried meat piergoi with beurre monte, spring onions, and pickled red cabbage with apple for dinner. fuckin hittts

no idea

I replayed Metroid 2 for the first time since childhood this year, and fell so deeply in love with its design. It is so different to the rest of the series in its progression structure and toolset, so much so that it actually reminds me most of all of Shadow of the Colossus. (1/7)

A prime example of how the far right can never be appeased. Give them whatever they demand and they’ll bank it, then use it as a new base camp to strike out for more and worse.

If America is so manly why is their chocolate called her she

Correct opinion!

Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.

my most cancelable video game hot take is that i think "ludonarrative dissonance" is a useful term

Finishing my relisten of @friends-table.bsky.social counter//weight and man, I'm trying so hard not to cry on the train
