People keep asking me about my own husband when I tell them about Aqua Tofana, my game about poisoning your husband.

look, please don't tell me to try other games, okay? the neopets ttrpg is what we're all familiar with. we use a homebrew setting instead of neopia and we ignore some of the rules about grappling and using rations during long-distance travel, but other than that it's exactly what we want.

It must feel so good to boo a politician at a sporting event. I bet it taps into a cultural genetic memory of our ancestors at the hippodrome calling the emperor a cuck.
JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

If you're an RPG creator, think about the ways you name your files when you put them up for download. Put the full name of your game into the file name, not an acronym. Remove the cruft of iteration—don't make me download a character sheet called "char sheet 2 (final).pdf"

I have been blessed with francophone news. Haiti has given me my class warmup for today.
Just been made aware of Haiti's winter Olympics get-up.
That skirt looks warm, has good pockets, and has a massive horse on it. DING DING DING.

I got to introduce my students to Chloe Kim today (we're in a mini unit on the Olympics) and it turns out some of them already knew her... from Fortnite.
Anyway we're all Chloe fans in my classes now.
