"The left doesn't like tech" like I haven't cornered multiple men who made the mistake of hitting on me into convos about renewable energy and the function of newer forms of nuclear power like SMRs for areas where wind, solar, and thermal are less/not viable.

I think the real point at which you become a Game Designer is when something shitty happens to you and part of your brain goes "...okay but how could I represent this as a mechanic?"

"Just let people enjoy things--" have you considered, even for a second, that some people enjoy things by analyzing and critiquing them? And that you, by coming into a post that is dissecting something you like to say "just let people enjoy things", are the one not letting people enjoy things?

One of my least favorite types of TTRPG discourse guys is the "DnD Used To Be Good" Guy.
My brother in dice, you run so many homebrew rules that what you're playing exists nowhere but your own mind. We're past "protestant schism" levels of difference and directly into "weird death cult" territory.

PSA, I've heard of quite a few people in the game design space getting their Discords hacked. Be wary of links, even when sent by people you trust.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.
I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.
There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

B. has provided us with a helpful(?) infographic about their enthusiasm for Blades '68.
B. has also assured us that accidental nukes are definitely a problem that everyone has, not just them.

It's pay day, which means I am now staring down the Blades '68 tiers with the fervored enthusiasm of a madman.
The question really boils down to which cover I want... Do I pick the bright, bombastic cover, or go with the limited edition and have it match my other Blades books?

When I say "advanced play of most games isn't about knowing the game better, its about understanding your fellow players", this is part of what I'm talking about.

During contract negotiations, the job of labour unions is to push for a better contract for the workers. The company is always trying to claw back previously won improvements & often uses budgetary concerns as an excuse for why they can't give the workers a better deal.

B. here - I do most of the layout & design for Biscuit Wolf and I have ZERO tolerance for "but I'm disabled!" as an excuse for using AI... Because I am both neurodivergent and physically disabled.
The truth is that a lot of you are standing in an unlocked skinner box, pretending you can't leave.

Are we having the "I need to use AI for art because I can't draw for whatever reason" discourse again?
Michelangelo had osteoarthritis. Chuck Close had severe paralysis. John Bramblitt is functionally blind. I don't think there's a single artist who isn't neurodiverse in some way.

Once a year I take a break from enjoying actual commentary to watch exactly 1 drama/tea video to see if I still think the genre is slop (it is). Unfortunately this year I failed to watch in an incognito tab and my feed has been ruined for WEEKS.

To perhaps over-paraphrase, if the word "hate" was engraved on each nanoangstrom of my flesh, it would not equal one one billionth of the hate I feel for the concept of Deadbots.
Grief (and by proxy, memory) is fundamentally important to the way we deal with death as people and as a society.
Grief (and by proxy, memory) is fundamentally important to the way we deal with death as people and as a society.
AI “deadbots” aim to replace the dead—and raise plenty of ethical issues, Charley Burlock argues. “Perhaps the biggest question is how such a product might shift our experience of personal grief and collective memory.”

Be careful what you joke about, because sometimes the universe will remember that it also has a sense of humor and respond to your weeks of jokes about biting people by making you lose a filling.

When I say "not enough of you were bullied as children" I don't mean "I wish you had a worse childhood"— I mean "you fundamentally misunderstand how bullies work. They are emotional terrorists who cannot be negotiated with, and attempting to do so will only further endanger yourself and others."
