True banger of an actual play podcast
Burnt Cook Book Party, my highly-rated Pathfinder actual-play show, just rounded 4 years and 100 episodes!
If you've never listened, you should try out KILL SANTA, the 7-part holiday mini campaign we released last year. Then when you're hooked, try the main show!

Wow, this must be one of the most popular things I've ever posted on here, guess I hit upon a sentiment a lot of people were feeling? So, can you do me a favour?
Advocate for the art you love. Talk about it, uplift it, introduce it to others, leave reviews. Let's not just focus on the negative.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

A meaningful story on YALSA's blog The Hub. Book bans are a terrible form of censorship, but this interaction between a librarian and their teen patron is so lovely. It's short and sweet. Give it a read. 💕 @yalsa.bsky.social

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I have to thank @thejenna.bsky.social for my new skill of hand splitting apples. Wonderful way to enjoy a nice little snack and I even got a “nice” from someone at the climbing gym the other day when I did it

No one tells you that when you run a Discord, you can do whatever you want.
We, for example, have created a bot command to correct misgendering Floofty.

Great news! The speech to text transcription option in Switch 2 Gamechat, where you see a transcript of your chat with friends, doesn't censor swearing by default.
Accesibility win for disabled people being allowed to read the words fuck, shit, and cunt.
