Given the problems with IQ, should we have intelligence scores in #ttrpg?

This is why I like living in London. People from all over the world have made their homes here, built lives & families here, and they’ve made our shared city & the communities that exist here much better, more interesting places
I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

I don't know what I'm going to do if GenAI takes over software development, because writing code is only fun part of the job.

You know that annoying experience on mobile websites where you need to find the little close button and can't swipe a menu closed?

The solution is simpler than you think.

With basic CSS scroll APIs, you can get built-in interruptible swipe gestures 🥳

I never thought I'd end up owning a piece of clothing I'd refer to as my "dog trousers."

Some notes about how I write TTRPG adventures:

My texts tend to be terse. A location described in two lines; a single spoken sentence to describe a character.

The aim is *not* to be laconic, but to mirror the pace of natural dialogue; a TTRPG is a conversation between players, after all!

A big part of what makes Kow Yokoyama’s photos of his models great is that he shoots them like they’re cryptids.

So ludicrous is the Grok X situation that no media outlets will publish the images as that would be illegal but it’s grand for it to be on grok and x

Spanish horror is on a high and The Wailing (2024) is an excellent example of it. Very like It Follows, but with its own unique approach.

One of the things that keeps me from becoming an OSR guy is how few of the worlds presented seem like a place I'd like to spend time exploring.

There are notable exceptions. More of those please.
